Texas Council of Governments for funds advanced in connection with the runway extension

DISCUSSION:
The Alliance Airport runway extension project was a multi -phased project that began in 2001 and was
substantially completed in March 2018. The total cost of this project totaled over $250 million and was
funded by grants from the Federal Aviation Administration. The City also received assistance in the
amount of $80,000,000.00 to relocate a portion of Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railroad through an
Advanced Funding Agreement with the Texas Department of Transportation.
In February 2013, (CSC No. 39068) the City entered into an Interlocal Cooperative Agreement with the
NCTCOG and the Regional Transportation Council (RTC) for the repayment of $51,300,000.00 in
advanced regional toll revenue funds. Execution of this Agreement was approved by Council on January
29, 2013 by M&C C-26078. In this Agreement the RTC and NCTCOG agreed to waive repayment of
$28,700,000.00 which reduced the amount to $51,300,000.00 from the original $80,000,000.00.
Additionally, $15,000,000.00 was allocated to the GE Test Track Project which further reduced Fort
Worth's repayment obligation to $36,300,000.00.
The Aviation Department is seeking grant assistance from the FAA in order to repay the remaining
obligation of $36,300,000.00 and will submit a grant application in the amount of $11,000,000.00 for FY

2019. Reimbursement to the NCTCOG is contingent upon receipt of discretionary grant funds from the
FAA designated for the purpose of reimbursing NCTCOG for funds that were advanced in connection with
the runway extension project.
This grant is not eligible for the reimbursement of indirect costs because City salaries cannot be charged
directly to the grant.
This contract will be with a governmental entity, state agency or public institution of higher education:
Federal Aviation Administration.
