Business Wire
Granite (NYSE:GVA) announced today that it has been awarded an
approximately $12 million dollar contract by the Tucson Airport
Authority (TAA) as part of the TAA’s estimated $400 million,
multi-year Airfield Safety Enhancement Program at Tucson
International Airport (TUS). This will be the third Guaranteed
Maximum Price (GMP 3) work package awarded as part of TAA’s
previously announced $130 million multi-year Construction Manager
at Risk (CMAR) project. The majority of funding will come from the
Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) through the Airport
Improvement Program, and the TAA will provide the requisite
matching share.
GMP 3 will handle the demolition of Runway 11R/29L, a runway
used primarily by General Aviation, followed by a new,
reconstructed runway, 12/30, as part of GMP 4. The primary GMP 3
scope of work includes demolition, clearing and grubbing,
earthwork, storm drain, and fencing.
Granite’s Swan Plant, located within five miles of the project,
will provide approximately 3,700 tons of bedding sand for the storm
drain on the initial package.
“Granite has been working consistently at Tucson International
Airport for the past 10+ years and has built a solid reputation for
its work product. We are the go-to contractor for airside civil
work in a secure environment,” said Zach Thompson, Granite Area
Manager. “Our safety record over the past year and a half has been
exemplary with no air traffic incursions while reconstructing or
constructing multiple taxiways and aprons.”
"What truly excites me about this project is that, when it is
completed, the airfield safety enhancement project will meet
current federal safety standards established by the FAA," said
Danette Bewley, President and CEO of TAA. "In addition, the
redundancy of the parallel runways will serve the Southern Arizona
region well for decades to come."
This phase of the project is anticipated to begin November 2023
and expected to be completed April 2024.
