Boise Airport has chosen Hensel Phelps as the construction manager/general contractor for its $700 million Concourse A and Terminal Improvements project. Approved by the Boise City Council on August 19, this initiative aims to address the airport's increasing passenger volume, which has nearly reached 5 million in 2024. Key components of the project include a new baggage handling system, a central utility plant, and the addition of up to 10 new gates in Concourse A. The CM/GC construction model will facilitate collaboration, flexibility, and cost certainty throughout the phased construction. Notably, the funding will not draw from local taxpayer dollars, ensuring community resources remain unaffected. Hensel Phelps was selected through a detailed evaluation process initiated in January 2025, where they demonstrated their expertise in airport environments. Since 2014, the airport has seen an 81% increase in passenger traffic, necessitating these improvements. The broader BOI Upgrade program reflects the airport's commitment to keeping pace with the rapid growth of the Boise and Treasure Valley region.
