LOG NAME: 55ALLGNT29AMD REFERENCE NO.: **G-16125
SUBJECT:
Approve and Accept, if Offered, a Grant Amendment from the Federal Aviation Administration in the
Amount of $55,666.00 to be Used for the Purchase of a New Airport Rescue Firefighting Apparatus
at Fort Worth Alliance Airport and Adopt Appropriation Ordinance
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Authorize City Manager to accept, if offered, a grant amendment from the Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA) in the amount of $55,666.00; and
2. Adopt the attached appropriation ordinance increasing estimated receipts and appropriations in the
Airports Grant Fund by $55,666.00, subject to the receipt of the grant amendment.
DISCUSSION:
On March 28, 2006, (M&C G-15452) City Council accepted an award from the FAA for the purchase of an
ARFF vehicle at ,Fort Worth Alliance Airport in the amount of $550,000.00. The Purchasing Division
issued Invitation to Bid No. 06-0246 and received one bid that exceeded the FAA grant. On November 14,
2006, (M&C P-10490) the City Council authorized the rejection of the sole bid and authorized rebid of the
ARFF vehicle.
On June 19, 2007, (M&C P-10603) City Council authorized the purchase of an ARFF Vehicle for Fort Worth
Alliance Airport from Emergency Vehicles of Texas at a cost not to exceed $605,666.00. The funding for
the vehicle was to come from the original ARFF Vehicle grant ($550,000.00) and another existing FAA grant
that had $55,666.00 remaining. The FAA authorized the Aviation Department to transfer the $55,666.00 to
the ARFF Vehicle grant bringing the total to $605,666.00. However, due to a personnel change at the FAA
in August of 2007, it was discovered that the $55,666.00 was no longer available under that grant and an
amendment to the original ARFF Vehicle grant is required.
FISCAL INFORMATION/CERTIFICATION:
The Finance Director certifies that upon approval of the above recommendation, receipt of the Grant Award
Amendment and adoption of the attached appropriation ordinance, funds will be available in the current
capital budget, as appropriated, of the Airports Grant Fund.
