DISCUSSION: Each year, the City of Fort Worth receives a grant offer from the Department of Transportation (TxDOT) to provide needed routine maintenance items or fund small capital improvement projects at Fort Worth Spinks Airport with a total eligible project cost in an amount up to $100,000.00. This grant requires a 50 percent match of eligible project costs in an amount up to $50,000.00, or whichever is less. 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. Allowable expenses under the Routine Airport Maintenance Program (RAMP) Grant include, but are not limited to, pavement crack sealing, pavement markings, drainage replacement or maintenance, replacement bulbs/lamps for airside lighting fixtures and security fencing. Engineering and design expenses are allowed for small capital projects that include, but are not limited to, public parking areas, hangar access roads and extension of runway lighting systems. TxDOT does not permit reimbursement of indirect costs in this grant. This grant does not support any staff positions within the Aviation Department. Spinks Airport is located in COUNCIL DISTRICT 8. A Form 1295 is not required because: This M&C does not request approval of a contract with a business entity. FISCAL INFORMATION / CERTIFICATION: The Director of Finance certifies that upon approval of the above recommendations and adoption of the attached appropriation ordinance, funds will be available in the current operating budget, as appropriated, in the Muni Airport Grants State 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 Aviation Department has the responsibility to validate the availability of funds. This is a reimbursement grant. Submitted for City Manager's Office--W.
