 LOS ANGELES — AECOM Technology Corporation announced that a joint venture in which it participates has been awarded a $62.3 million design-build contract for Rhode Island’s Lawton Valley Water Treatment Plant and upgrade of the state’s Station No. 1 plant in Newport. Under the contract, the AECOM joint venture team will deliver comprehensive design-build services for the two water treatment plants, including permitting, design, construction, start-up, and commissioning.
