earlier Update on RFP We can now add Gruzen Samton Architects Planners & Interior Designers, LLP to the STV/Fox & Fowle team. Gruzen Samton is providing transportation design and planning. Also, sorry about my Davis Brody Bond typo. It's not David. Friday May 17, 2002 We did a lot of digging and uncovered the architectural and engineering teams that are finalists for the urban design RFP issued by the Lower Manhattan Development Corp. and the Port Authority. Whoever gets this assignment will get to plan the next World Trade Center - both below ground as well as the massing and many details above ground. The six finalists were interviewed last Wednesday and Thursday. They were advised on Friday that the winner would be told on Monday. A Port Authority spokesperson told me they would make an announcement on Monday or Tuesday, although Newday reported on Sat. Not in any particular order: 1. Beyer Blinder Belle Parsons Brinckerhoff Sam Schwartz Company 2. Ehrenkrantz Eckstut & Kuhn URS [a mega engineering firm No. 1 in world, which is buying firms next and right] 3.

The cover of SL Green's annual report has an artsy sunset photo of a worker on a scaffold. But last year, a scaffold improperly erected by a non-union subcontractor at 215 Park Avenue South caused the death of five workers and injured several others. The company is being sued over that incident. ** Which developer who owes thousands to contractors paid for his son's recent bar mitvah bash with company checks?
