Full summary

This Council File asks the City Council to approve a fourth amendment to Contract DA-5620 with Hensel Phelps Construction Co., which covers design and construction services for the Central Terminal Area Curbside Improvement Program at Los Angeles International Airport. The amendment would add $184 million in contract authority, raising the total contract ceiling from its current level to $492 million. The Board of Airport Commissioners approved the amendment at its May 14, 2026 meeting by Resolution 28379, and noted there is no impact to the City's General Fund, as LAX is a self-supporting enterprise funded through airport revenues. The Board is asking the City Council to take three actions: confirm that the project is exempt from California Environmental Quality Act review under multiple Class 1 categorical exemptions in the LA City CEQA Guidelines; approve the amended contract authority; and ratify the Board's authorization for the Los Angeles World Airports Chief Executive Officer, or a designee, to execute the amendment on behalf of the airport. The Board of Airport Commissioners submitted the resolution on May 18, 2026, and the City Council referred it to the Trade, Travel, and Tourism Committee the following day. The file is currently pending in that committee with no further action on record. The file remains open with an expiration date of May 19, 2028.
