Jacobs wins $150M Denver airport contract
This story was originally published on Construction Dive. To receive daily news and insights, subscribe to our free daily Construction Dive newsletter. Award: Program management Value: $150 million Location: Denver Client: Denver International Airport Jacobs will help reshape how travelers move through Denver International Airport as the Mile High City launches its next major transportation overhaul, according to a news release. The Denver City Council approved on May 12 a $150 million, 10-year agreement with Jacobs to oversee development of a new rental car hub and connected transportation system at Denver International Airport. Under the contract, Jacobs will provide program management support for the Consolidated Rent-A-Car facility and the Common Transportation System that will link it to the airport's main terminal. The work includes electric vehicle infrastructure, fueling operations, traffic design and technology upgrades, according to the release. Jacobs will also handle procurement, according to the company. 'Consolidating rental car operations in a single facility connected to the main terminal by a common transportation system reduces traffic in the terminal area, eliminates the unsustainable numbers of shuttle buses, frees up curb space and allows redevelopment of surface lots for future needs,' said Steve Pelham, Jacobs vice president and transportation director for the Americas. 'For Denver International Airport, these enhancements will provide critical space as the airport expands to meet demand.' The contract continues Jacobs' longstanding partnership with the airport, where the Dallas-based firm has supported more than 60 projects since 1992, according to Jacobs. That includes projects such as the Great Hall Improvement Program and the Concourse Expansion Program. The award comes as Jacobs leans further into infrastructure and consulting work, according to its second-quarter earnings call in May. CEO Bob Pragada said the firm remains focused on federal and infrastructure clients, especially as broader economic uncertainty complicates the construction outlook. Earlier this month, Sound Transit, the public transit agency in Seattle, selected Jacobs to lead early design for its West Seattle Link Extension, a 4.1-mile light rail project expected to cost up to $7.1 billion.

The Best Way to See China? On Futuristic, Punctual, Very Fast Trains
As I rocketed out of Shanghai aboard a train at nearly 200 miles an hour, the speed reduced the trees outside my window to greenish blurs. I had the out-of-body sense that I was fast-forwarding my way through China. The ride felt decidedly more languid when I turned my attention from the window. A smartly uniformed attendant was passing out snack boxes, but I craved something more substantial and made my way to the Starbucks-equipped snack bar to order a cappuccino and soup dumplings.
