DISCUSSION:
On February 17, 2015, (M&C G-18420) the City Council adopted Resolution No. 4411-02-2015 supporting
the closure and redevelopment of Runway 9/27 at Fort Worth Meacham International Airport (Airport).
On May 1, 2018, (M&C C-28674) the City Council adopted Resolution No. 4932-05-2018 supporting the
design and construction of the Midfield Redevelopment Project (Project). The Project will remove the
closed Runway 9/27 and its associated taxiways, so as to redevelop the area in accordance with the
Airport's Master Plan and Airport Layout Plan.
Preliminary design plans did not include a perimeter road in the Project's original scope of work. Over the

course of the Project's Design Phase, a new taxiway layout was developed that would maximize usable
space for hangar development. It was recognized that a perimeter road would improve the safety of this
new development and was incorporated into the Project's design package. The addition of a perimeter
road would reduce vehicle traffic accessing the airport's taxiway system which is positively controlled by
Air Traffic Control. Though the remainder of the Project came in below original estimates, the section of
added perimeter road increased the City's Sponsor Share by $41,501.00.
Indirect costs are not eligible for reimbursement.
Project expenses and revenues are summarized in the following table:
Design Phase $ 385,200.00
[Construction Phase $ 9,026,300.00
