DISCUSSION:
On August 25, 2020 Mayor and Council Communication (M&C 20-0599), the City Council authorized the application for and acceptance 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 rehabilitation and reconstruction of Taxiway Juliet and Aprons Charlie and Delta (Project) at Fort Worth Meacham
International Airport (Airport). This M&C also adopted Resolution No. 5267-08-2020 which allowed for the execution of grant related agreements
for the Project.
On September 2, 2020, City Secretary Contract 54449 (Contract) was executed with TxDOT accepting the grant funds for the design of
the Project. On January 26, 2021, TxDOT informed the Aviation Department that additional funding was necessary for the design of the Project,
and that execution of an amendment will be needed. This amendment will increase the design total of the grant by $31,170.00, bringing the
grant total design amount of the Project from $200,000.00 to $231,170.00. The City's match requirement and total share for the design of the
Project will be $3,117.00, as the original $20,000.00 for the City's match requirement was covered by the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic
Security (CARES) Act. Due to the increased amounts, the appropriation of funds for both the City's match requirement and the additional award
amount are necessary.
Upon approval of this M&C, all appropriations and funding will be summarized in the table below:
