Honolulu Authority for Rapid Transportation (HART) Awards Contract for City Center Guideway and Stations

News Release from HART, Aug 15, 2024

HONOLULU – The Honolulu Authority for Rapid Transportation (HART) today announced the award of a contract for the design and construction of the next segment of the Honolulu rail transit project, referred to as the City Center Guideway and Stations (CCGS) contract, to Tutor Perini Corporation at a contract price of approximately $1.66 billion. The contract is expected to be executed in mid-September.

The CCGS contract will include the design and construction of six rail stations and approximately three miles of elevated rail guideway beginning just east of the Middle Street Transit Center Station and ending at the Civic Center Station, which will be located just east of the intersection of Halekauwila Street and South Street. Project design will begin immediately after contract execution while the start of construction is estimated in the second-half of 2025. Construction of this segment will be completed in 2030.

“This is another huge milestone for our rail project,” said HART Executive Director and CEO Lori Kahikina, P.E. “This is the largest single contract of the entire project and sets the course for completing the project through downtown Honolulu. We are excited to begin work with Tutor Perini to make this happen.”

Tutor Perini Corporation, based in Los Angeles, California, is a leading civil, building and specialty construction company offering diversified general contracting and design-build services to private clients and public agencies throughout the world.

Tutor Perini has established a strong reputation of executing large, complex projects on time and within budget while adhering to strict quality control measures. “Tutor Perini is proud and excited to be a part of this transformational project in Honolulu,” said Tutor Perini Corporation Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Ronald N. Tutor. “We look forward to partnering with HART to see this project through to its successful conclusion.”

The award of the CCGS contract is expected to release the next $250 million in federal funding to HART under the amended Full Funding Grant Agreement (FFGA), which was executed Feb. 2, 2024. The original FFGA, signed in 2012, provided a grant of $1.55 billion for the Honolulu rail project. HART has previously received approximately $931 million dollars under this grant.
