DISCUSSION:
The purpose of this Mayor and Council Communication (M&C) is to authorize the acceptance and appropriation of additional funds for the Master
Plan Update (Project) at Fort Worth Meacham International Airport (Airport).
On January 14, 2020 (M&C 20-0034), the City Council authorized the acceptance and award of a grant with the Federal Aviation Administration
(FAA), through the State of Texas, being represented by the Texas Department of Transportation, Aviation Division (TxDOT), for the Project and
adopted Resolution No. 5174-01-2020 which allowed for the execution of Grant Related Agreements for the Project.
On March 20, 2020, City Secretary Contract 53693 (Contract) was executed with TxDOT accepting the grant funds for the Project. On August 25,
2020, TxDOT informed the Aviation Department that additional funding is necessary for the Project, and that execution of an amendment to the
Contract is needed. This amendment will increase the total grant amount by $48,100.00, bringing the total Project amount from $250,000.00 to
$298,100.00. The City's match requirement will also be increased by $4,810.00, bringing the City's total share for the Project to $29,810.00. Due
to the increased amounts, the appropriation of funds for both the City's match requirement and the additional award amount are necessary.
Since no City salaries will be charged to this grant, indirect cost recovery does not apply.
Upon approval of this M&C, all appropriations and funding will be summarized in the table below:
