HOUSTON, TX — Tutor Perini Corporation, a civil, building, and specialty construction company, announces that its subsidiary, Fisk Electric Company (Fisk Electric), has been awarded the first phase (valued at approximately $29 million) of a guaranteed maximum price contract currently valued at approximately $147 million by McCarthy Building Companies, Inc. for electrical services for the new Harris Health hospital on the Lyndon B. Johnson Hospital campus in Houston, Texas. The project owner is Harris Health.
Fisk Electric’s scope of work includes the core and shell and tenant finish-out electrical and fire alarm components for the ground-up construction of the new hospital tower and podium. Work is expected to begin in the fourth quarter of 2024 with substantial completion of the entire electrical contract anticipated in the fourth quarter of 2028.
The new 12-story hospital — slated to become Harris County’s third Level I trauma center — is expected to open in late 2028. The new hospital will include approximately 1.3 million square feet and will feature 390 private rooms, with the space to add 60 more when additional capacity is needed. With a rooftop helipad, 15 dedicated operating rooms, and a hybrid operating room, the hospital is designed to cater to a wide range of medical needs from routine procedures to the most complex emergency surgeries.
The initial $29 million portion of the overall contract value was added to the Tutor Perini's backlog in the third quarter of 2024 with the remaining portions to be added to backlog as subsequent phases are awarded.
