O'Hare Names Lead Runway Designers, Disqualifies Bechtel As Program Manager
As it waits for a final blessing from the Federal Aviation Administration, the City of Chicago is pushing forward with design and engineering for its $6.6-billion OHare International Airport rehabilitation project.
On Nov. 12, officials invited four of five venture enterprisesled by Parsons, Bovis Lend Lease, DMJM Aviation and URS Corp.to resubmit their program-management qualifications for final selection by early January, says Roderick Drew, spokesman for the O'Hare Modernization Program. But Bechtel-led PMO Partners, another joint venture in the running, was disqualified because it "took issue" with revealing contract and company specifics on the Internet under the citys public-disclosure policy, Drew says.
