Same basic info as the PA press release posted above, but I like the rendering.

From the NY Times:

The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey awarded a $338.8 million contract on Thursday to DCM Erectors, which will furnish, fabricate and erect the 22,000 tons of steel needed to construct the World Trade Center Transportation Hub from bedrock to street level. This does not include the distinctive birdlike canopy over the main hall.

The effective steel price in the new contract is $9,000 a ton, the authority said, which is several hundred dollars less than the price per ton for the steel used in a recently built underground concourse.

Dollar for dollar, it is the largest steel contract yet to be awarded at the trade center site. DCM won the second largest contract, too; $276.48 million for 45,000 tons of steel for 1 World Trade Center.

DCM has a plant in South Plainfield, N.J., where about 40 percent of the steel for the transportation hub will be fabricated. Anthony R. Coscia, the chairman of the authority, said the latest contract was therefore “great news for our local economy.”

The street-level roof of the transportation hub’s mezzanine is also the base of the memorial plaza. Christopher O. Ward, the executive director of the authority, said, “We’ve moved one step closer to meeting our commitment to open the memorial in time for the 10th anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks.”
