As of Aug 2026

Obtain executed airport utilities plant contract amendment and original contract terms

Context: Ordinance 2026-0748 was adopted 2026-08-25 appropriating $12,000,000 from the Airport System Consolidated 2011 Construction Fund and authorizing a first amendment for Project Number 955.

Recommended: Pull the executed first amendment and the base design-build contract to check how the $12,000,000 is allocated, and whether it changes price, scope, or schedule terms. The adopted ordinance excerpt does not show those terms, so compliance obligations are unknown until you see them.

As of Aug 2026

Request justification for $12 million airport utilities plant contract amendment

Context: Council Member Pollard tagged Item 15 on 2026-08-19, pulling it from the consent agenda, and Council then adopted Ordinance 2026-0748 on 2026-08-25 with all voting aye and no nays, leaving Pollard's concern unexplained in the record.

Recommended: File a records request for the staff memo and amendment scope explaining why the Hensel Phelps design-build contract needed a $12,000,000 increase. Without it, the public cannot tell whether this reflects scope growth, cost overruns, or new work.
