The private partners are taking a chance on a much-needed project, said Ray Kowalik, president of Burns & McDonnell. “I’m not sure there’s anybody else in the country crazy enough to do it.” “This is a heck of a lift for them to do this,” he said. The proposal would have to be approved by Kansas City voters, probably in November, under an ordinance adopted by the council in February 2014 that gives residents the final say “before the city demolishes or replaces any terminal at any city-controlled airport.”Ĭity Manager Troy Schulte said Burns & McDonnell executives first approached him about the terminal proposal several months ago.
The memorandum of understanding to be considered by the city council on Thursday would give Burns & McDonnell the exclusive right to design and build the new terminal, which could replace three existing passenger terminals. They are the ones who will be on the hook. “They will be the ones to raise the capital. This is a privately financed deal,” he said. We don’t have to pay out of the general fund.
