LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jul. 11, 2016--
AECOM (NYSE:ACM), a premier, fully integrated global infrastructure
firm, announced today that it has been awarded a new five-year contract
to provide program management and construction management (PM/CM)
services at the Dallas/Fort Worth (DFW) International Airport,
recognized internationally as one of the most frequently visited
super-hub airports in the world. The contract covers a variety of
potential projects, including both federally- and non-federally-funded
airfield improvements, building projects and landside improvements.
Under the new contract, worth an estimated US$100 million, AECOM will
provide full project life cycle services to DFW’s Design, Code and
Construction Department. The scope of services includes program,
project, design and construction management; contract administration;
program and project controls; public outreach; and technical,
third-party support. In keeping with AECOM’s and DFW’s long-time
commitment to promote participation of Disadvantaged Business
Enterprises (DBE), it is expected that 40 percent of the contract’s
total dollar value will be subcontracted by AECOM to qualified DBEs.
AECOM has served as a consultant to DFW for more than 30 years,
beginning with assistance on the airport’s first Master Development Plan
in the 1980s. AECOM has and will continue to lead a joint venture team
responsible for design and design management services for the
renovations currently in progress at DFW Terminal B and Terminal E, as
part of the airport’s US$2.7-billion Terminal Renewal and Improvement
Program.
“We are very proud of our long history of working with the Dallas/Fort
Worth International Airport and being a part of their most important and
iconic programs,” said Michael S. Burke, AECOM Chairman and Chief
Executive Officer. “The confidence shown by DFW in selecting AECOM as
their PM/CM partner for the next five years reflects the collaborative
relationship we’ve worked hard to build together and AECOM’s in-house
strengths in aviation architecture and engineering.”
DFW is the fourth busiest airport in the U.S., serving more than 64
million passengers annually. Centered between its owner cities of Dallas
and Fort Worth, Texas, DFW also serves as a major economic generator for
the North Texas region, producing over US$37 billion in economic impact
each year by connecting people through business and leisure travel.
