DISCUSSION:
On November 9, 2004, (M&C C-20394) City Council authorized the City Manager to accept an Airport
Participation Agreement grant from TxDOT in the amount of $1,200,000 for the design and engineering
services related to the repair of Runway 16/34 at Meacham International Airport. The repairs include:
repairing damage on the runway's surface, widening of the runway shoulders, replacing the Medium
Intensity Runway Lighting (MIRE) and the Medium Approach Lighting System with Rails (MALSR), paving
grass islands to expand the apron, repairing of the safety areas and other miscellaneous repairs.
This is a two phase project. Phase one, which consisted of design and engineering services, will be
complete in the spring of 2007. Phase two of the project will be for the construction of the
improvements. This phase of the project, subject to actual bids, is estimated to be $8,990,000 and is
expected to commence in June of 2007.
The total project cost upon completion is estimated to be $10,190,000.
On March 25, 2003, (M&C G-13919) City Council authorized the sale of general-purpose bonds for critical
capital projects, which included $2,780,000 for Meacham Runway 16/34 runway repair. This money will
provide the City's match for all phases of this project.
