While the contract is $17.5 million, the council has approved a maximum of $19.2 million from the Kansas City Airports Fund.
Spirtas will tear down the former Terminals B and C and also make improvements to the remaining area so the existing terminal garages can remain.
Removal of the exterior of Terminals B and C began on Monday, July 15.

The duration of the project is expected to take 10 months, depending on weather.
The demolition isn’t expected to impact travelers with the installation of fencing and haul routes that will avoid traffic impacts.
Kansas City airport officials initially planned to tear down the old terminals last summer . Edgemoor Infrastructure, the developer behind KCI’s new terminal, issued a request for proposals for the demolition last year.
But in the spring, the city changed course . The Kansas City Aviation Department issued its own request for proposals last fall.
The old terminal space will eventually be converted to apron space and deicing pads.
The two former parking garages aren’t going anywhere though. The Aviation Department anticipates using the garages for employee parking and public parking overflow.
