DISCUSSION:
The Texas Department of Transportation Aviation Division(TxDOT)has advised the Aviation Department that funding is available for design,
engineering and construction services for the rehabilitation and reconstruction of Taxilane Juliet and Aprons Charlie and Delta(Project)at Fort
Worth Meacham International Airport(Meacham Airport).
Based on the most recent Pavement Condition Index(PCI)Report completed by Garver Engineering in 2018,Taxilane Juliet,Apron Charlie and
Apron Delta show pavement ratings between'Very Poor and'Failed.'The pavement is past its useful life and is in need of rehabilitation and
reconstruction.
Taxilane Juliet and Apron Delta provides the only access to multiple tenants,which consists of several hangars leased by individuals
and businesses that include,but are not limited to,two of the three Fixed Based Operators(FBOs),aircraft painters,aircraft maintenance and the
City of Fort Worth Aviation Department.
Apron Charlie is located on the southeast side of the airport and also provides access to several tenants,which include,but are not limited to,
aircraft and rotorcraft maintenance shops and the City of Fort Worth Police Department Hangar.
Since no City salaries will be charged to this grant,indirect cost recovery does not apply.
The additional appropriation ordinance increasing receipts and appropriations in the Muni Airport Capital Project Fund is to ensure funding is
available for the City's 10 percent match.
Funding for this Project is a 90/10 cost-split between TxDOT and the State of Texas and the City of Fort Worth(City),excluding the design portion.
Design for this Project is expected to be$200,000.00,and the$20,000.00 owed by the City for the 10 percent match requirement will be funded
by TxDOT through the Coronavirus Aid, Relief,and Economic Security(CARES)Act. The City's 10 percent match requirement for this Project will
be for the construction portion only.
Upon approval of this M&C,all appropriations and funding will be summarized in the table below:
Fund JAmount
Muni Airport Capital Project Fund (City's
Match Requirement for Construction $465,000.00
Portion)
TxDOT Grant Funds(City's 10%Match
Requirement for Design portion covered $20,000.00
by the CARES Act)
TxDOT Grant Funds(90%of the project $4,335,000.00
cost)
Project Total(Design&Construction) $4,850,000.00
Because the designated match funds were not appropriated for transfer,specific approval for transfer of these funds is needed.

Department's Five-Year Capital Improvement Plan.The reconstruction of Taxilane Juliet and Apron Delta and the rehabilitation of Apron Charlie
was a part of this approved plan.
