"With the airport currently serving 22 million passengers per year, or twice its designed capacity, the report found the new construction activity has added billions of dollars in new contracts with builders and other vendors."
"Improper management of those contracts is likely to lead to cost overruns, timeline delays, poorly planned or constructed projects, lawsuits, and reduced customer satisfaction," the report said.
"We did not see a clear strategy for the Aviation Department to maintain their assets. There also appeared to be limited review and oversight of these assets," the report noted.
"The safety and emergency response risks are related in some ways to a pair of recent worker fatalities, as well as 'near miss' incidents that caused the airport to undergo federal scrutiny."
