Army Solicits Bids for New Design-Bid-Build Hospital Construction at Fort Bliss in El Paso, TX

Congress has allotted $946 million for construction of a new 135-bed hospital complex at the William Beaumont Army Medical Center in El Paso, Texas.  HDR Architects from Omaha, NB designed  what appears to be a traditional design-bid-build project. 
Clark/McCarthy Healthcare Partners, a joint venture of Clark Construction of Maryland, and McCarthy Construction Companies of St. Louis; Hensel Phelps Construction Co., based in Colorado; and a joint venture of Manhattan Construction Group, of Tulsa, and Hunt Construction Group, based in the Phoenix area, and not tied to Hunt Companies of El Paso, are companies that have made it known they will submit bids to be the project's prime contractor.
The Army Corps of Engineers is expected to issue the final bid solicitation for the project this week. Bids will likely be due by the end of September or early October. ....
Tom Fisher, vice president of Hensel Phelps' Southwest district headquarters in Austin, said his company did $750 million worth of projects in the last five years during the Fort Bliss expansion.
