The Aviation Department is seeking Council approval to authorize the execution of an engineering services agreement with CP&Y, Inc. (CP&Y) in
the amount of $649,503.00 for construction management services for Phase I of the Taxiway Papa Extension Project at Fort Worth Alliance Airport

On November 13, 2018 (M&C C-28935), the City Council authorized the application for and acceptance of a grant from the Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA) in an amount up to $15,000,000.00 for the construction of Taxiway Papa. The City of Fort Worth (City) received
$5,500,000.00 (City Secretary Contract No. 52803) The funds from the 2018 grant will be used for this agreement.
Recently, on May 19, 2020 (M&C 20-0341), the City Council authorized the application for and acceptance of a grant from the FAA in an amount
up to $7,000,000.00 for additional funding of the Taxiway Papa Extension Project. Funding from the FAA is anticipated to be received in August of
2020.
The location of this project is on the southwest corner of the Airport (see attached map), and will extend Taxiway Papa north from Taxiway Delta to
Taxiway Foxtrot, as well as provide a connecting surface at Taxiway Echo. This taxiway extension will provide a connecting surface at the midpoint
of the runway, greater ease of access to tenants on the west side of the airport, and allow for better overall operational efficiency. This project also
provides additional public protection along the west perimeter of the Airport by providing a larger protection zone that will enhance the margin of
safety on airport property ground in accordance with Federal Aviation Advisory Circulars. Taxiway Papa construction will be divided into multiple
phases to match available funding.
CP&Y was selected through an RFQ process for projects over a five year period. This project is the last project falling under that RFQ's scope of
services.
Since no City salaries will be charged to this grant, indirect cost recovery does not apply.
CP&Y is in compliance with the City's DBE Program by committing to 41 % DBE participation on this project. The City's DBE goal on this project
is 10%. Additionally, CP&Y is a certified MBE firm.
ADVISORY BOARD APPROVAL - On April 19, 2018, the Aviation Advisory Board voted to recommend that the City Council approve the Aviation
Department's Five -Year Capital Improvement Plan. The addition of Taxiway Papa Extension was a part of the approved plan.
Fort Worth Alliance Airport is located in COUNCIL DISTRICT 7.
FISCAL INFORMATION / CERTIFICATION:
The Director of Finance certifies that funds are available in the current capital budget, as previously appropriated, in the Municipal Airport Grants
Federal Fund for Phase I of the Taxiway Papa Extension project to support the approval of the above recommendation and execution of
the agreement. The Aviation Department (and Financial Management Services) will be responsible for the collection and deposit of funds due to
the City. Prior to an expenditure being incurred, the Aviation Department has the responsibility to validate the availability of funds. This is a
reimbursement grant.
