SUBJECT
Authorize Reallocation of Funds in the Amount of $711,258.78 to Consolidate Various Static Projects to Programmable Projects for Fort Worth
Meacham International Airport and Fort Worth Spinks Airport for the Management of Capital Projects. (COUNCIL DISTRICTS 2 and 6)
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council authorize reallocation of funds in the amount of $711,258.78 to consolidate various static projects into
programmable projects (P00011, P00012, P00112 and P00115) for Fort Worth Meacham International Airport and Fort Worth Spinks Airport for
the management of capital projects.
DISCUSSION:
This M&C is intended to seek an approval to consolidate various static projects into programmable projects for Fort Worth Meacham International
Airport (Meacham) and Fort Worth Spinks Airport (Spinks) in order to better manage capital project funds. Currently the Aviation Department
requested separate static projects each year for the purchase of vehicles and equipment, airport maintenance and assessment/studies. By
creating programmable projects, the Aviation Department will be able to realize operational efficiencies by being able to utilize the residual funds
to purchase additional equipment as the need arise when the price comes in lower than originally expected, or to cover the price of equipment that
may come in higher than budgeted. The Aviation Department will reallocate $279,258.78 for the purchase of equipment and vehicles at Meacham
Airport and $60,000.00 at Spinks, $360,000.00 for the airport maintenance at Meacham Airport and $12,000.00 for Spinks assessment and
studies. Procurement will be executed by the Property Management Department in a separate authorization.
Details are indicated as follows:
1. Reduce the appropriation in the static projects in the total amount of $711,258.78.
