LOG NAME: 55FTW REJECT BIDS - MIDFIELD REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT - STAGE 2
SUBJECT
Authorize Rejection of All Bids for the Midfield Redevelopment Project - Stage 2 Located at Fort Worth Meacham International Airport (COUNCIL
DISTRICT 2)
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council reject all bids for the Midfield Redevelopment Project - Stage 2 located at Fort Worth Meacham
International Airport.
DISCUSSION:
The purpose of this Mayor and Council Communication is to authorize the rejection of all bids received for the Midfield Redevelopment Project -
Stage 2 (Project) located at Fort Worth Meacham International Airport. The Project involves constructing certain roadways and utilities that the
Aviation Department has designed to support the redevelopment of property associated with the former cross -wind runway at Meacham.
On March 27 and April 3, 2019, the City of Fort Worth (City) advertised the Project in the Fort Worth Star -Telegram. On May 9, 2019, the City
received two sealed bids for the Project. After bids were received and reviewed, however, the City received a proposal for an unexpected
development opportunity that would have significant impacts upon the Project's scope of work. The potential change in the Project's design would
result in the current bids being irrelevant. Staff has determined, therefore, that the City should reject all bids, reassess potential uses of the
redevelopment site, and redesign proposed infrastructure improvements accordingly before soliciting bids again.
This Project is located in COUNCIL DISTRICT 2.
A Form 1295 is not required because: This M&C does not request approval of a contract with a business entity.
FISCAL INFORMATION / CERTIFICATION:
The Director of Finance certifies that this action will have no material effect on City funds.
