On the business side, I would like to report on two recent
projects:
One, DWSD selected the Team of Jenkins/TYJT for
DWS-837A, Standby Generators Design Build Project.
The Team was authorized to start work immediately.
TYJT will be the “Designer of Record” for this project;
Two, proposals for CS-1431, Design and Construction
Management Services for Upper Rouge CSO Tunnel
Facilities were submitted to DWSD on June 8, 2005 by
the teams of Parson Brinkerhoff and Jacobs Civil. TYJT
is a subconsultant member on both teams. Design work
is scheduled to start by August 1, 2005. This is a large
project with an estimated construction cost of $600 million
and a design/construction duration of 9 years.
