Design-Build Contract Under Negotiations for New York City Borough-Based Jail System, Manhattan Facility

Tutor Perini Corporation, in a joint venture with O&G Industries, has been identified as the Apparent Selected Proposer by the New York City Department of Design and Construction for the new Manhattan Jail Facility.

The project scope includes design and construction of a new facility that will have dedicated space for onsite services and programming, indoor and outdoor recreation, food services, staff offices and facilities, amenities, below-grade accessory parking and a secured entry. The new facility will contain 886 beds and provide 125 accessory parking spaces below-grade for all staff and service providers. In addition, the facility will provide 20,000 square feet of community and commercial space on the ground floor.

This is one of four new jails being built in the boroughs of New York City to replace the Rikers Island Jail Complex, which will eventually be closed and decommissioned. The Design-Build team anticipates negotiating contractual terms and pricing for this multi-billion-dollar project with the owner and, if those negotiations are successful, expects to be awarded a Design-Build contract.

Tutor Perini is the managing partner in the joint venture with O&G serving as a 25% partner. The joint venture’s design partner is HOK.
