Huitt Zollars, a Westlake Village, California-based engineering, architecture and survey firm, said it has been awarded a civil engineering and LEED consulting contract for the $30 million first phase of the Kona Heighs development on the Big Island.

Huitt Zollars said it will provide civil engineering and construction services for infrastructure improvements and act as the primary LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) consultant. It said the 11-acre first phase will include 65 single-family homes and a neighborhood park. Construction is slated to begin in late 2010, it said.
