Following an action-packed evening in The Cosmopolitan hotel, California’s Long Beach Civic Center & Port Headquarters project was the evening’s big winner after being awarded the prestigious ‘project of projects’ Grand Prix, as well as the Best Social Infrastructure deal.
This year’s ceremony also saw the Best Individual Contribution prize celebrating the solid work done to advance the US social pipeline, with the award going to Daniel Feitelberg, vice chancellor for planning and budget at University of California’s Merced campus.
Meanwhile, it was a good night for the hugely successful Canadian provincial procurement agencies, with Infrastructure Ontario claiming the Gold Award in the Government Agency of the Year category. The Silver Award went to its Saskatchewan equivalent, Saskbuilds.
There were also new winners in the Financial and Legal Advisor of the Year categories, with KPMG and Mayer Brown picking up the respective prizes.
P3 Bulletin publisher Amanda Nicholls kicked off the event by welcoming the guests to the Vegas strip, highlighting the great work that has gone into growing the market this year.
And she was once again followed on stage by comedian Bill Bunker, who kept the audience laughing throughout the evening as he handed out the awards in his own inimitable style.
