DISCUSSION:
The existing Police Air Support Helicopter Hangar is located on an old landfill located near the Trinity River
at 1400 Nixon Street. The City's needs have outgrown the existing facility, which is a prefabricated metal
building built in 1973. Larger aircrafts, which cannot be housed in the current facility, are needed to
cover the City's expanded limits.
The Request for Qualifications from architectural design firms was advertised in the Commercial Recorder
on April 5, 2006. Six firms provided submittals. The City staff ranked the submittals, interviewed the top
three firms in May 2006, and selected GRW Engineers, Inc., as the best qualified firm.
In June 2006, an agreement to develop the programming and budget for the project was executed in the
amount of$19,612.00 with GRW Engineers, Inc.
The estimated overall cost of the project is:
Design $138,698.00
Construction (escalated to Summer 2008) $1,870,000.00
ITS, Utilities, Geotech $245,000.00
Contingency, Furniture, Fixtures, & Equipment, staff administration $353,302.00
Total $2,607,000.00
GRW Engineers, Inc., is in compliance with the City's MIWBE Ordinance by committing to 21 percent

M/WBE participation. The City's goal for this project is 21 percent.
The project is physically located in COUNCIL DISTRICT 2 but will serve Fort Worth residents in all Council
Districts.
The completion of the heliport hangar will add 11,650 square feet to the City's facility inventory and add
approximately $5,000 per year in the facility maintenance and repair requirements.
FISCAL INFORMATION/CERTIFICATION:
The Finance Director certifies that upon approval of the above recommendations and adoption of the
attached appropriation ordinance, funds will be available in the current capital budget, as appropriated, of
the Airport Gas Lease Project Fund.
