Serving as Design Manager to Help Provide
Additional Capacity and Improve Safety
Jacobs Engineering Group Inc. (NYSE:JEC) announced today that it
was awarded a contract from the Chesapeake Bay Bridge and Tunnel
Commission (CBBT) to serve as the design manager for a new tunnel
along the 23-mile toll crossing at Thimble Shoals Channel between
Virginia Beach, Va., and the Delmarva Peninsula.
Company officials did not disclose the contract value.
The new two-lane passageway, which is expected to parallel one
of two existing immersed tunnels, provides additional capacity so
that when incidents or repairs close one tunnel the other is
available. In addition, the new tunnel allows for one direction of
traffic per tube which better accommodates peak season traffic and
makes the crossing safer for all travelers.
Under the terms of the design management contract, Jacobs is
completing project development, including the tunnel, associated
bridges, and artificial islands, to support the District’s
design-build procurement. Jacobs is also managing procurement and
providing support to the CBBT in reviewing technical requirements
of the design-build proposals and final award of the design-build
contractor.
In making the announcement, Jacobs Group Vice President Randy
Pierce said, “We are delighted to provide support for this
important project and are honored the Commission continues to turn
to us as their partner.”
The CBBT Executive Director stated, “Jacobs is to be commended
for their excellent proposal and presentation that distinctly
expressed their design, procurement, and project management
experience that together with their collective skillsets will be
integral to the success of this milestone project.”
Jacobs is one of the world's largest and most diverse providers
of technical professional and construction services.
