Brief

The file covers contract modifications with firms including Accenture LLP, Arup US Inc., Birdi Systems Inc., Boston Consulting Group Inc., and Burns Engineering, among others.

Full summary

This Council File addresses proposed first amendments to eighteen vendor contracts for digital experience and information technology services at Los Angeles International Airport and Van Nuys Airport. The Board of Airport Commissioners approved the amendments at its June 18, 2026 meeting and is asking City Council to ratify them. The core change is a $100 million increase to the not-to-exceed amount across the Master Service Agreement umbrella, raising the total ceiling from $80 million to $180 million. Services are provided on an as-needed basis by the vendor pool. There is no impact to the City's General Fund, as LAX operates on airport revenue. The eighteen firms covered are Accenture LLP, Arup US Inc., Birdi Systems Inc., Boston Consulting Group Inc., Burns & McDonnell Western Enterprises Inc., Burns Engineering, Faith Group LLC, HCL America, IDM Groups LLC, KPMG LLP, M. Arthur Gensler Jr & Associates Inc., The North Highland Company LLC, Parsons Transportation Group Inc., Science Systems and Applications Inc., SDI Presence LLC, Slalom Inc., Wipro LLC, and World Wide Technology LLC. Each has its own individual contract amendment, but all fall under the same master agreement structure. City Council is asked to take three actions: confirm a CEQA exemption for the amendments under the Class 1 categorical exemption for existing facilities; approve each of the eighteen individual contract amendments; and concur with the Board's authorizing resolution, Resolution 28396. The matter was referred to the Trade, Travel, and Tourism Committee on June 22, 2026, where it remains pending. The file expires June 18, 2028.
