Port Awards $542M WTC Contract

NEW YORK CITY-The contract for construction on the Port Authority's Ground Zero transit hub is among the first major ones to be awarded on the project.

NEW YORK CITY-The Port Authority on Thursday awarded a $542-million contract on the World Trade Center Transportation Hub, the largest to date on the $3.2-billion transit center. A spokesman for the Port Authority tells GlobeSt.com there are several more big contracts yet to be awarded on the project.

The contract awarded to Skanska USA Civil Northeast, Granite Construction Northeast and Skanska USA Building entails the construction of the PATH Hall in the WTC site’s West Bathtub. Four rail platforms will be built, and the contract also calls for installation of heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems; plumbing work; fire protection; architectural finishes; and ADA compliance measures.

Prior to Thursday, the biggest contract for the transit hub was a $338.8-million contract to DCM Erectors in April 2009 to furnish, fabricate and erect 22,305 tons of structural steel for the transportation hub. This past November, the Port also awarded a contract for what it calls “one of the most critical work packages” on the project: the Greenwich Street corridor and underpinning of the No. 1 Subway line, which came in at 28% under budget.
