DISCUSSION:
In January 2011, the Aviation Department selected Garver, LLC, for the purpose of providing engineering
services for the City of Fort Worth Meacham International Airport.
In 2011, the Aviation Department requested scope and fee for airfield electrical improvements at
Meacham Airport. The project design scope includes project management, preliminary documents and
final documents.
The existing airfield electrical system at Meacham Airport has been in place for over 20 years. Multiple
airfield improvement projects have resulted in changes to the airfield that have affected the electrical
system and airfield lighting. Presently, there is no comprehensive electrical plan nor is there a complete
and all inclusive diagram depicting the present electrical system. The current system is inefficient and can
be better utilized to maximize equipment and electricity cost savings to the City.
The Aviation Department recognizes that improvements are needed to proactively maintain a safe airport

will be outlined in the documents provided by Garver, LLC, upon implementation of this proposed
engineering Agreement.
The proposed project will be funded by revenue derived from natural gas well leases on city owned airport
properties.
Meacham International Airport is located in COUNCIL DISTRICT 2.
