Tutor Perini Awarded Homeland Security/Coast Guard Contract

Sylmar-based construction company Tutor Perini Corp. was awarded a $500 million government contract to build U.S. Coast Guard facilities. The contract is valid for one base year with the option to be extended up to six additional years. The contract enables the company to compete for individual task order contracts for U.S. Coast Guard facilities across the U.S. and its territories, including Puerto Rico, Guam and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Tutor Perini will also be eligible to support construction for other Department of Homeland Security agencies, such as the Federal Emergency Management Agency and the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center. This is the first national Multiple Award Construction Contract to be issued by the Coast Guard. Awards were made following a two-step proposal process based on Best Value analysis, which placed emphasis on experience, past performance and design-build management approach. Tutor Perini has supported the U.S. government with construction of facilities and infrastructure since the 1940s and has been performing design-build construction since 1979 through its subsidiaries, Perini Management Services, Inc. and Black Construction Corporation.
