Work on the LIRR/MTACC project will include construction of the below-grade facilities at the Plaza Interlocking, including installation of waterproofing systems, removal of temporary struts and walers and other temporary support measures within the open cut excavation constructed by other parties.

U.S. Department of State IDIQ Contract

Tutor Perini's subsidiary, Perini Management Services, Inc. (PMSI), has been awarded its first task order under an Indefinite Delivery / Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract for design, construction, supply and/or installation of pre-fabricated and engineered containerized housing and office units with integrated building systems and complete site infrastructure. The base contract, awarded in January 2011 by the U.S. Department of State (DOS), is for support of U.S. diplomatic missions worldwide and U.S. operations in support of contingency, humanitarian and emergency relief operations on a global basis.

Under the base IDIQ contract, PMSI is eligible to submit competitive proposals for each potential project.
