Worth Alliance Airport (Airport).
On March 18, 2020 and March 25, 2020, the Project was advertised in the Fort Worth Star -Telegram. On April 16, 2020, the City received two

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. FAA Discretionary Grant funding is being used for this project.
Mario Sinacola and Sons Excavating, Inc. is in compliance with the City's DBE Program by committing to 16 percent DBE participation on this
Project. The City's DBE goal on this Project is 16 percent.
Since no City salaries will be charged to this grant, indirect cost recovery does not apply.
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 the Taxiway Papa Extension project was part of the approved plan.
Fort Worth Alliance Airport is located in COUNCIL DISTRICT 7.
FISCAL INFORMATION / CERTIFICATION:

availability of funds. This is a reimbursement grant.
