Des Moines firm loses big

The state women's prison in Mitchelville is being expanded and upgraded, and Walsh Construction of Chicago has won the $52 million contract to do it. Larson and Larson Construction of Des Moines submitted a bit for 48.9 million, but lost out on the contract because the Walsh bid came in at 46.9 million. Officials are going to check the paperwork to make sure it's all in order and then officially award the contract. That should be done in a few days.
