DISCUSSION:
In January 2010, the Aviation Department selected Garver LLC, for the purpose of providing engineering
services for the City of Fort Worth Meacham International Airport.
Garver LLC, has been tasked to design a rehabilitation project for paving and drainage in the area of
Apron A. Apron A is the pavement area bounded by various hangar tenants including Texas Jet and
Atlantic Aviation and has considerable drainage problems and pavement failures. The area for
rehabilitation is identified in the attached diagram, Apron A- Rehabilitation Project, which shows the total
area of Apron that needs rehabilitation. Unfortunately, there is not sufficient funding to do the total project
at this time.

The project will instead be done in phases with Phase 1 work shown on the attached Apron A - Phase 1
diagram. The project is being funded primarily by TxDOT Aviation Division and therefore, the construction
will be bid and awarded through TxDOT.
Construction costs in the amount of $3,231,095.00 will be funded on a 75/25 cost share with TxDOT
Aviation which results in the City funding $781,250.00 for the participating portion of the project and
$106,095.00 for a non - participating drainage improvement on North Main Street. The cost share portions
for the grant and non - participating portion will come from revenue derived from gas well leases on City
airports. Aviation will also have project management, administration and related expenses in the amount
of $170,000.00.
On September 15, 2011, the Advisory Board reviewed and recommended approval of this project as
outlined.
This property is located in COUNCIL DISTRICT 2.
FISCAL INFORMATION / CERTIFICATION:
