WATSONVILLE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Granite (NYSE:GVA) has been awarded a Federally funded $54 million contract to build the first of two construction phases under a Construction Manager/General Contractor (CMGC) contract with the Alaska Department of Transportation and Public Facilities (DOT & PF).
