OHL has been awarded a contract in the United States to carry out the design and construction of 17 elevators in New York subway, within a period of 31 months and for a total amount of 153 million dollars (126 million euros).
The construction company owned by the Mexican brothers Amodio has obtained this contract through its subsidiary Judlau Contracting after presenting the cheapest offer of the four presented to the board of directors of MTA, the manager of public transport in New York.
According to this institution, the following offer already had a price almost 50% higher. It was that of the New Yorker Halmar, whose price for the same contract was 187 million euros, 61 million more than that of OHL. The most expensive was that of SGJV, of 200 million euros, 59% higher.
In addition, the company Judlau proposed to carry out maintenance on these elevators, Modern Elevator, was also the cheapest offer, at 8 million dollars (6.5 million euros), in contrast to the next cheapest, of 10 million euros.
OHL has already carried out work for both the MTA and the city of New York, among which are rehabilitations and adaptations of stations, tunnels, the southern ferry terminal or the installation of water pipes in various locations in Manhattan.
