DISCUSSION: Runway 16/34 at Fort Worth Meacham International Airport (Meacham) is composed of aging pavement. The last non-destructive testing of Runway 16/34 was completed approximately 10 years ago. The Texas Department of Transportation, Aviation Division (TxDOT) recommends pavement testing be completed at least once every 10 years or if there is a significant change in airport users. The 2003 testing indicated that a number of rehabilitation measures needed to be taken in order to increase the usable life of the runway such as select slab replacement, joint sealing, crack and spell repairs. These repairs are estimated to have extended the usable life of the runway approximately 15 years. The type and weight of aircrafts that use Meacham have changed significantly in the last 10 years, along with the frequency of use of Runway 16/34. Boeing 787s and 737s, along with Airbus A-320s use the landing field at Meacham on a regular basis. Tenants and sub -tenants are beginning to base the new Gulfstream 650s at Meacham. The results of this new testing will provide information which http://apps.cfwnet.org/council packet/mc_review.asp?ID=18699&councildate=7/23/2013 8/6/2013 M&C Review Page 2 of 2 will allow both the Aviation Department and TxDOT to plan for future projects to either rehabilitate or replace Runway 16/34. The City will use revenue derived from gas well drilling for the City's 10 percent Grant match. Meacham is located in COUNCIL DISTRICT 2. FISCAL INFORMATION/CERTIFICATION: The Financial Management Services Director certifies that upon approval of the above recommendations and adoption of the attached appropriation ordinances, funds will be available in the current capital budget, as appropriated, of the Airport Grants Fund.
