Parsons has been awarded a $13.9 million five-year contract by the Orange County Board of Supervisors to manage John Wayne Airport's (JWA) Improvement Program. The program will improve and refurbish airport facilities.

Parsons will provide program management and oversight of architect-engineer and construction activities, which entail monitoring, reporting, and making recommendations regarding program planning, costs, schedules, and budgets.

A veteran in aviation services, Parsons is currently working on numerous large airport capital development programs worldwide, including airports in the United States, Asia, the Middle East, and Europe.

JWA's Improvement Program includes a new 300,000-sq-ft terminal with six passenger loading bridge gates, two new parking structures, a cogeneration plant, existing terminal enhancements, and other ancillary improvements. Construction has begun on the enabling make-ready projects.
