DISCUSSION:
On September 29, 2015, City Council approved Mayor and Council Communication (M&C) C-27485 that
authorized the application for and acceptance of, if awarded, a grant from the Texas Department of
Transportation (TxDOT) in an amount up to $200,000.00 for the design of the Taxiway-E and Hangar-line
Taxilane (Taxilane) Pavement Rehabilitation Project. TxDOT Aviation Division has advised the Aviation
Department that funding is available for the construction portion of the Pavement Rehabilitation Project at
Fort Worth Meacham International Airport (Airport).
Logname: 55FTW TAXILANE E AND HANGAR-LINE TAXILANE PROJECT CONSTRUCTI... Page 1 of 3
Taxiway-E is one of the most highly used taxiways at the Airport, supporting more than 20 hangars and
numerous businesses located in the Apron-A Area including one of the busiest Fixed Based Operators
(FBO's) at the Airport. The Taxilane connects the southern area of the Airport to the northern area,
allowing for fuel trucks and aircraft to make the transition from the Apron-B Area to the Apron-A Area
without having to access the aircraft movement area and interfere with aircraft in communication with the
Air Traffic Control Tower (ATC). The Taxilane provides a safe and secure pathway and must be kept in
good condition due to the heavy loads placed on it by large corporate aircraft.
The pavement that makes up Taxiway-E and the Taxilane has exceeded the end of its useful life and is
rated as poor to very poor according to the Pavement Condition Index (PCI). Numerous concrete slabs
have cracked or shattered, and the debris causes additional hazards for people and aircraft operating in
the area.
This project will replace the pavement of Taxiway-E connecting the Apron-A Area to the Airport's taxiway
and runway system and also replace the Taxilane pavement that proceeds through the hangar line. In
addition to the pavement, the project will correct existing storm drainage problems due to a collapsed
storm drainage line in this area.
TxDOT has advised that grant funding is available to begin construction in 2017. Design is scheduled for
September 2016 through January 2017 and the estimated construction schedule is March 2017 through
August 2017.
Project expenses and revenues are summarized in the following tables:
Design Phase $ 220,000.00
Construction Phase 1 $2,430,670.00_
(Project Total 1 $2,650,670.00
Upon approval of this M&C, all appropriations and funding will be summarized in the table below:
Project Revenues F -
Airports Gas Lease Project Fund $ 240,970.00
TxDOT Grant Funds F$2,409,700.00
Project Total $2,650,670.00
This project will have no impact on operating funds.
AVIATION ADVISORY BOARD APPROVAL -The Aviation Advisory Board recommended approval of this
action on September 17, 2015.
Fort Worth Meacham International Airport is located in COUNCIL DISTRICT 2, Mapsco 48P.
This contract will be with a governmental entity, state agency or public institution of higher
