LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 29, 2019--
AECOM (NYSE:ACM), a premier, fully integrated global infrastructure
firm, has announced that the AECOM-led joint venture with Hill
International has been awarded a contract valued at $107.4 million by
the New York City Department of Design and Construction (DDC) for the
Program Manager for development of four new correctional facilities. The
new borough-based facilities will be located in Manhattan, Brooklyn,
Queens and the Bronx and will enable the closure of the Rikers Island
Correctional Facility.
This contract award marks a significant milestone in innovative
infrastructure procurement as the City of New York’s first ever
design-build program. AECOM-Hill, as Program Management Consultants,
will work directly with DDC to structure the procurement, develop the
program requirements, and manage four separate design-build teams, one
for each of the new borough-based facilities, through the completion of
this multi-billion capital program. The value of AECOM’s contract was
included in its backlog in the third quarter of fiscal 2019.
“We’re humbled to support DDC and the City of New York on this
first-of-its-kind transformative design-build program,” said Steve
Morriss, AECOM’s president of its Design and Consulting Services group
in the Americas. “A project like this was made for AECOM’s unique
strengths in the design-build space and we look forward to starting this
important work to deliver on Mayor Bill de Blasio’s justice reform
vision.”
The AECOM-Hill partnership brings a powerful combination of expertise to
this project, marrying Hill’s in-depth risk and project management
insight with AECOM’s extensive design-build, program management, and
correctional sector experience, helping the city reduce the time and
effort normally required to bring a complex program of this scale to
fruition.
The creation of these new, state-of-the-art, borough-based facilities
will enable New York City to make considerable improvements for people
in detention, their visiting families and NYC Department of Correction
employees. Each new facility will integrate health, educational and
re-entry programs, as well as community space.
