| Parsons selected by GSA for construction management services Parsons announced that it was selected by the General Services Administration (GSA) to provide construction management services for a variety of design-build, sustainable energy projects for 23 federal buildings located throughout the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area. This energy improvement program makes significant progress toward achieving President Obama's mandate under Executive Order 13514 for the implementation of high-performance, sustainable federal building design, construction, operations, and maintenance. Parsons' construction management services will include oversight of high-performance roofing systems, solar-energy solutions, high-efficiency equipment and lighting upgrades, and installation of control systems to optimize building performance, reduce energy consumption, and promote the long-term viability of GSA's portfolio properties. The program, funded by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, involves managing 10 design-build contracts covering 23 occupied facilities, including secure buildings with security clearance requirements. Design and construction will progress concurrently across multiple projects with the majority of construction occurring after normal working hours. write your comments about the article :: © 2010 Construction News :: home page |
