Dive Brief:

• If at first you don't succeed, try, try again – but it may help to have different players trying, at least in the case of a $546 million renovation project for New Orleans' Louis Armstrong International Airport.
• A review committee, with all new members after a first round of review and selection wound up mired in controversy and appeals, is set to hear from the two joint ventures that previously vied for the job on Thursday.
• One of the two groups has added a local name and now goes by NOLA Airport Builders – with New Orleans-based Royal Engineers and Consultants joining Parsons Construction and Odebrecht USA – and the other remains Hunt-Gibbs-Boh-Metro.

Dive Insight:

The first review committee had scored a tie between the two groups and then re-evaluated after a second presentation by each and scored the Parsons-Oderbrecht venture higher. That brought protests, and the whole process fell apart. The airport manager, the New Orleans Aviation Board, is hoping for a cleaner outcome this time.
