DISCUSSION:
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) announced the Fiscal Year 2022 Airport Improvement Program Supplemental Discretionary Grant.
Eligible projects under this funding include airport construction projects, associated airport capital planning, noise planning and noise mitigation
projects, and energy and environmental sustainability projects. If awarded, funding will be used for an environmental study and design of a fuel farm
replacement of twenty-five underground fuel tanks and twelve above ground tanks at Fort Worth Meacham International Airport (Meacham).
According to a study completed by the Army Air Force Exchange Service (AAFES) and the Environmental Protection Agency reports, the life
expectancy of above and underground fuel tanks is between 20 and 30 years. Currently, most of the underground fuel tanks at Meacham are
believed to be more than 40 years old. Grant funding for this project will increase Meacham's sustainability and environmental safety related to
storing aviation fuel at the airport. If awarded, the FAA will provide funding up to $1,080,000.00. This grant requires a 10 percent match of eligible
project costs in an amount up to $120,000.00. The Aviation Department will utilize capital funding from the Future Grant Matches project (City
Project No. 101731) to provide matching grants funds to leverage the grant funds for projects.
Since this grant does not support any staff positions within the Aviation Department, indirect cost recovery does not apply.
City of Fort Worth Meacham Airport is located in COUNCIL DISTRICT 2/FUTURE COUNCIL DISTRICT 2.
A Form 1295 is not required because: This contract will be with a governmental entiry, state agency or public institution of higher education: U.S.
Department of Transportation
FISCAL INFORMATION / CERTIFICATION:

will be available in the current operating budget, as appropriated, in the Muni Airport Grants Federal Fund. The Aviation Department (and Financial
Management Services) will be responsible for the collection and deposit of funds due to the City. Prior to an expenditure being incurred, the
