Regional Connector Constructors, a joint venture of Skanska USA Civil West California District Inc., Traylor Brothers Inc., with Kiewit and Hatch Mott MacDonald, has been awarded a $927.2 million contract from LACMTA (Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority) to design and build the Regional Connector Transit Project light rail line in downtown Los Angeles.
LACMTA said Skanska/Traylor attained the highest overall ranking among four bidders, with the highest technical and evaluated pricing scores. Skanska/Traylor also told LACMTA it planned to complete construction 115 days early and would absorb the cost of any LACMTA- or subcontractor-caused delays.
The LACMTA board also approved an additional $39.9 million for the Regional Connector Life-of-Project budget, bringing the total to $967.1 million.
