Acontractor has won a $5-million bonus for repaving 10,925 ft of runway in 120 days at John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York City. The new $348-million project, which re-opened on June 29, required two online concrete batch plants, intense planning and 17,000 ft worth of fencing to render the Bay Runway—the country’s second-longest—a construction work zone.
Tutor Perini Civil Inc., Peekskill, N.Y., can win another $5-million bonus on its $210-million contract once it completes remaining work, including the 3,647 ft east section. The total job is to be completed in 2011 but could be finished this year, says Damon M. Petrillo, project manager, since crews produced so much concrete and asphalt in this phase.
