We have begun the process of building the Hanjin Terminal by putting out the first bidding opportunity to businesses today.
It is a request for design firms to send us their qualifications to design the $300 million terminal.
Once this design contract is awarded, the project will start benefitting businesses and individuals (jobs and dollars) long before the terminal actually opens in late 2012 or early 2013.
You can find info on all of this here.
In December 2008, JAXPORT executives and representatives of the Hanjin Shipping Company of Seoul, Korea signed a 30-year lease agreement calling for construction of a 90-acre container facility at the Dames Point Marine Terminal in north Jacksonville. The $300 million Hanjin Container Terminal at Dames Point is expected to open for business by summer 2013 and will be a key hub operation for Hanjin’s east coast port activity.
If you have a question about contracts for the design or construction of the terminal, email Louis Naranjo, JAXPORT’s Manager of Procurement, and the answer will be posted on jaxport.com within the Hanjin contracts frequently asked questions (FAQ).
