LOG NAME: 55AFW SHUPE AMEND2
SUBJECT:
Adopt Resolution Authorizing the Increase of$30,000.00 in the Maximum Amount to be Paid to Dwight A.
Shupe and the Law Firm of Shupe, Ventura, Lindelow & Olson, PLLC, as Outside Counsel in the Alliance
Airport Runway Extension Project in the Amount Not to Exceed $90,000.00 (COUNCIL DISTRICT 7)
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council adopt the attached resolution authorizing a $30,000.00 increase
to the maximum amount to be paid to Dwight A. Shupe and the Law Firm of Shupe, Ventura, Lindelow &
Olson, PLLC, as outside legal counsel in the Alliance Airport Runway Extension Project.
DISCUSSION:
By adoption of Mayor and Council Communication (M&C) G-16877 and Resolution No. 3872-04-2010
(April 6, 2010), the City Council approved Dwight A. Shupe and the Law Firm of Shupe, Ventura, Lindelow
& Olson, PLLC, as legal counsel to assist the City of Fort Worth in the acquisition and closing of properties
needed for the Alliance Airport Runway Extension Project (Project) and appropriated the amount of
$30,000.00 for that purpose. Because of the numerous issues that must be addressed and the complexity
of those issues, it has been necessary to increase the scope of services of Dwight A. Shupe and the Law
Firm of Shupe, Ventura, Lindelow & Olson, PLLC, which required a subsequent increase in the maximum
compensation for the firm to an aggregate amount of$60,000.00 (Resolution No. 4140-10-2012) (October
23, 2012). The increase in anticipated services results from the anticipated review and drafting of closing
documents needed to complete the Project. Adoption of this Resolution will increase the amount of
compensation to be paid to Dwight A. Shupe and the Law Firm of Shupe, Ventura, Lindelow & Olson,
PLLC, by the amount of$30,000.00 for a total amount of$90,000.00.
All costs for Mr. Shupe's work will be covered by grant funds made available from the Federal Aviation
Administration.
This is for services in COUNCIL DISTRICT 7.
