LOG NAME 55DNTWN HELIPORT IMP-R
SUBJECT
Authorize an Engineering Services Agreement in the Amount of $155 500 00 with URS Corporation for
Design and Construction Management for a Temporary Heliport Near the Intersection of 130 and
Montgomery Street and Adopt Appropriation Ordinance in the Amount of $413 000 00 for the Design and
Construction Costs of a Temporary Heliport (COUNCIL DISTRICT 7)
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council
1 Authorize the use of revenue derived from mineral leases on City owned airports in the amount of
$413 000 00 for the design and construction of a temporary heliport at I-30 and Montgomery Street and
survey and planning services for land acquisition for a permanent heliport;
2 Adopt the attached appropriation ordinance increasing estimated receipts and appropriations in the
Airports Gas Lease Project Fund in the amount of $413 000 00 from available funds, and
3 Authorize the City Manager to execute an engineering services agreement with URS Corporation in the
amount of $155 500 00 for the design and construction management services associated with
improvements at the temporary heliport and survey and planning services for land acquisition for a
permanent heliport and authorize $257 500 00 for construction costs primarily contracted through
established annual agreements.
DISCUSSION
The Aviation Department has reviewed several different sites to determine the most cost efficient site to
use as a heliport to serve the downtown area The potential sites included a site near East 4th Street
(generally bounded by I-35W SH 121 East 4th Street and the Trinity River) an existing helipad operated
by the Tarrant Regional Water District (TRWD) (located west of Henderson and north of Belknap); and a
city parking lot near I-30 and Montgomery Street. Each site will require a lighted helipad area lighting
helicopter parking security fencing vehicle access and a building for passengers The East 4th Street site
would meet operational needs but required substantial improvements such as road fencing and a modular
building The TRWD site would not meet operational needs due to variable terrain and would require
resealing the pavement, fencing and a modular building
The I-30/Montgomery Street site would meet operational needs and requires the least amount of
improvements and is the recommended site for the temporary heliport. The improvements for I-
30/Montgomery Street would be reseal and mark pavement, helipad and area lighting and security
equipment. Based upon characteristics of the site a two acre parking lot will be used for helicopter landing
and parking and an adjacent building parking lot will be used for passengers and automobiles. The
temporary heliport will be made ready prior to February 2011
