The joint venture has been named by the New York City Department of Design and Construction as ‘Apparent Selected Proposer’ to design and build the new Manhattan Jail Facility, amid plans to eventually close and decommission Rikers Island.
Tutor Perini said it expected to be negotiating contractual terms and pricing for the multi-billion-dollar project.
The new facility will contain 886 beds and provide 125 accessory parking spaces for all staff and service providers. There will be 20,000 sq ft of community and commercial space on the ground floor.
While I mostly follow the work of the Swedish construction company Skanska who been winning a ton of heavy civil contracts but the stock price barely budged thus year
Tutor Perini stock price has been running up.

Rikers is a very depressing place, and I always got to go home at night.

Only prisoners live there. I was a criminal defense lawyer, and I used to have conferences with my clients who were inmates there.

Conferences by phone or video chat? You must have seen and heard a lot working with them.

No, live in person meetings inside the prison. Visiting Rikers was an all day thing. It's tough to drive there. It took hours to get through security.

That sounds like a waste of time. I know at courthouses they have special lanes for lawyers. While everyone else has to take off their shoes and get their bags scanned.

Yes, but not in jails. They don't trust defense lawyers.
