Summary
The Los Angeles City Council approved a five-year multiple-award task order contract (METOC) enabling up to $5 billion in design and construction work at Los Angeles World Airports, authorizing a pool of 51 contractors to bid on upcoming projects tied to LAX capital improvements and Olympic preparations.
The Los Angeles City Council approved a five-year multiple-award task order contract (METOC) that will allow Los Angeles World Airports (LAWA) to issue task orders for future design and construction work valued at up to $5,000,000,000.
The METOC, a contracting vehicle used by LAWA, was described in the announcement as a five-year agreement with 51 contractors authorized to perform work at LAX and Van Nuys Airport. LAWA said the arrangement will streamline procurement and support the agency’s capital improvement program, with roughly 20 projects in the contract set to begin in 2025.
The announcement noted the contract is intended to benefit small and local businesses by simplifying procurement under a single multiple-award vehicle. LAWA also framed the METOC as a way to ready LAX for the 2028 Olympic Games.
The council announcement did not include a roll-call vote tally or the name of a motion’s mover or seconder in the transcript. Details published by LAWA, including the contract’s total value, duration, number of awardees and projects expected to start in 2025, were included in the briefing cited on the program.
