City to vote on terminal contract extension
The Wichita City Council on Tuesday will vote on a contract extension with the company managing the new terminal project at Wichita Mid-Continent Airport.
The $574,000 extension would add six months to the city’s contract with Los-Angeles-based AECOM.
AECOM was originally hired in 2005 to provide program management services on the new terminal as part of a $4.55 million contract.
The city staff is recommending the council, acting as the governing body of the Wichita Airport Authority, approve the contract.
Progress has slowed on the estimated $150 million terminal job and the city currently is performing a full financial review of the project no fax pay day loan.
City Manager Robert Layton has said city staff are working to determine if the original design is still realistic in today’s economic climate.
He said the city’s evaluation of the project should be done within about 30 days.
