DISCUSSION:
The purpose of this Mayor and Council Communication (M&C) is to distribute and appropriate funds for the Airport Frontage Improvements Project
(Project) at Fort Worth Meacham International Airport (Meacham Airport)
The Project places an emphasis on Meacham Airport's frontage to North Main Street, which begins just south of Interstate 820 and extends
south to NW 38th Street. The Project will correct deficiencies, improve aesthetics and create a cleaner, more attractive entry to the airport and its
businesses. The original project approach was in three phases; however, based on available funding it is now anticipated this project will be
completed in one phase. The Project will address three primary areas including utility relocation (burying electric delivery lines along North Main
Street), perimeter frontage fencing and gate improvements, and improving landscaping, lighting, and sidewalks.
The Aviation Department was recently informed about the availability of funds for this Project, and funding will be derived from multiple sources.
The preliminary total cost estimate provided by Garver LLC. is $8,800,000.00, and separate M&C's will be presented to City Council to allocate
funding from different sources.
Design for the Project is currently being reviewed, and a separate M&C will be drafted and routed to City Council after bids are received and
evaluated.
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 funds are currently available within the Municipal Airports Operating Fund and upon approval of the above
recommendations and adoption of the attached appropriation ordinances, funds will be available in the Municipal Airport Capital Projects fund for
the Airport Frontage Improvements Project at Fort Worth Meacham International Airport. This is an approved modification to the Aviation
Department's FY2021-FY2025 Capital Improvement Plan. Prior to an expenditure being incurred, the Aviation Department has the responsibility of
verifying the availability of funds.
