ON THE AGENDAHouston City Council · 2026-02-24

The city would spend $5 million from the Airports Improvement Fund to hire Burns Engineering and Jacobs Engineering Group for IT consulting services at Houston airports, with contracts running up to 5 years (3 years plus two optional 1-year extensions). Note: the item had not yet been formally received at the time of the meeting and was pending before a final vote.

What it means for you

These contracts would fund technology consulting work supporting Houston's airport facilities, which affects travelers and airport operations across the city. Residents would not pay directly, as funding comes from the dedicated Airports Improvement Fund rather than general tax revenue.

Outcome

On the February 24, 2026 council agenda. Outcome pending minutes processing.
