Balfour Beatty’s Civils West and California Buildings operations have been selected as a prequalified contractor for Los Angeles World Airports’ (LAWA) Multiple Award Task Order Contracts (MATOC), positioning the company to undertake a variety of infrastructure and facilities modernization projects at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX).
This selection places Balfour Beatty among 31 companies, including 13 first-time prime contractors, chosen by LAWA to streamline procurement processes and accelerate design-build and construction (DB&C) services at the airport. The projects range from $1 million to more than $250 million in value.
Stenman further highlighted the company’s expertise in aviation infrastructure, particularly their ongoing work on the LAX Automated People Mover, which gives Balfour Beatty a deep understanding of LAWA’s project delivery expectations. “We’re excited to leverage our integrated team of experts from both our Civils and Buildings businesses — a winning combination that brings together specialized expertise and operational excellence to support LAWA’s vision for the future of LAX,” he said.
The MATOC is set to support LAWA’s Capital Improvement Program and other projects, with 20 projects expected to begin this year. The five-year contract includes the option for two one-year extensions at LAWA’s discretion.
