Dive Brief:
- New Orleans city officials say they have to choose between "fantastic and outstanding" to decide which joint venture – Hunt-Gibbs-Boh-Metro or Parsons-Odebrecht – will manage a $546 million terminal-construction project at the city's airport.
- Each venture scored 999 out of 1,100 in rankings by a committee set up to review proposals.
- The state legislature included the competitive process in a law enacted last year, but it gives no guidance on ties.
Insight:
A group of administrators scheduled a meeting Thursday to try to reach a decision between the two proposals. Three of the four Hunt-Gibbs-Boh-Metro are local companies. Parsons-Odebrecht combines Parsons Construction from California and Brazilian firm Odebrecht's U.S. arm.
