The contract, awarded to Botas Engineering, Inc. for $305,228.00, addresses critical failures in the condenser water system and structural deterioration of cooling towers, which are impacting the airport's ability to meet cooling demands. Phase 1 involves engineering services, while Phase 2, a construction phase with an anticipated budget of $35 million, will be presented separately. The emergency was declared on December 12, 2025, due to an operational emergency impacting essential airport functions.
