TPWA Selects Fort Bend County Public Transportation Facility for 2020 Project of the Year Award

The Texas Chapter of the American Public Works Association (TPWA) selected the Fort Bend County Public Transportation Facility project for its 2020 Project of the Year Award, under the $5-$25 million transportation category.

The TPWA established the award to promote excellence in the management and administration of public works projects by recognizing the alliance between the managing agency, the consultant/architect/engineer and the contractor who, working together, complete public works projects. A panel of judges select projects based on construction management techniques, safety performance, community relations, environmental considerations, and other factors such as unusual accomplishments under adverse conditions, quality control and value engineering.

Engineering firm Lockwood, Andrews & Newnam, Inc, (LAN) provided planning, engineering and design services for the new transportation facility while SpawGlass served as the contractor. Other firms involved in the project included RdlR Architects as the architect, Huitt Zollars as construction manager, Asakura Robinson as the landscape architect, and HDR | Maintenance Design Group for specialty equipment and systems. The Federal Transit Administration and Fort Bend County provided the funding for the project.
