PA Assumes Oversight of Transit Hub Work

NEW YORK CITY-The Port Authority has discontinued a contract with a JV managing construction on the World Trade Center Transportation Hub.

NEW YORK CITY-The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey says a new trend of dropping construction costs led to its decision to discontinue a Phoenix Constructors contract that originally had the consortium building the $3.2-billion World Trade Center Transportation hub in its entirety. Phoenix, a joint venture between Fluor Enterprises, Skansa USA, Bovis Lend Lease and Granite Construction, served as project manager and middleman between Port Authority and the contractors doing the work.

In a statement, the Port Authority says the changes will allow the agency to competitively bid future work on the World Trade Center Transportation Hub. Phoenix Constructors will continue to work on and complete its existing work awarded to date.

“It’s strictly a different way of doing business to get the project built,” a Port Authority spokesperson tells GlobeSt.com. “Phoenix will complete the underpinning for the number one tower, the below-grade steel, the east-west connector–all of that, they’ll complete.” Further, members of the Phoenix JV will be able to bid on all future work in connection to the Transportation hub, the statement says.
