| Parsons awarded contract for LIT Terminal Redevelopment Pasadena-based contractor Parsons announced that it was awarded a construction management-at-risk contract by the Little Rock Municipal Airport Commission for the first phase of the Little Rock Airport Terminal Redevelopment Project, which is slated to begin before the end of the year. The first phase of the project has a construction cost of roughly $22.5 million, and it will consist of a new inline baggage screening and outbound baggage facility, closed-circuit television improvements, a new local area network, a new multiuser flight information display system, energy conservation upgrades, and a new communications control center. In addition, the first phase will include renovating the existing ticket lobby, airport administration offices, airline ticket offices, security checkpoint, and the concourse restrooms. The Parsons team, which consists of four area firms, was the unanimous choice of the Municipal Airport Commission, who cited the combination of Parsons' extensive aviation construction expertise and the local strength of its Little Rock-based partners. Together, all of the firms will form the management team for the project. Upon completion, the project will encompass the expansion and renovation of 430,000 ft² and consist of the future construction of a new terminal commons, a new 16-gate concourse, and a new baggage claim and international arrival facility, along with inbound roadway and parking improvements. write your comments about the article :: © 2010 Construction News :: home page |
