SUBJECT: (CD 2) Authorize Acceptance of a Routine Airport Maintenance Program Grant for Fort
Worth Meacham International Airport from the Texas Department of Transportation, if
Awarded, in an Amount of Up to $100,000.00, Authorize Use of Future Grant Match
Capital Funding in an Amount of Up to $100,000.00 for the City's Grant Match and Adopt
Appropriation Ordinance
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
Authorize the acceptance of a Routine Airport Maintenance Program Grant, if awarded, for
Fort Worth Meacham International Airport from the Texas Department of Transportation,
Aviation Division, in an amount up to $100,000.00; and
Adopt the attached appropriation ordinance increasing the estimated receipts
and appropriations in the Muni Airport Grants State Fund in an amount up to (1) $50,000.00,
subject to the receipt of the grant, and (2) with $50,000.00 as a transfer from the Municipal
Airport Capital Project Fund to satisfy the City's match requirement, totaling an amount up to
$100,000.00, for the purpose of funding Fort Worth Meacham Routine Airport Maintenance
Program Grant 2024.
DISCUSSION:
On August 8, 2023 City Council approved M&C 23-0648 which authorized the acceptance of the
Routine Airport Maintenance Program grant for 2024.
Typically, each year, the City of Fort Worth receives a grant offer from the Texas Department of
Transportation (TxDOT) to provide needed routine maintenance items or to fund small capital
improvement projects at Fort Worth Meacham International Airport, with a total eligible project cost in
an amount up to $100,000.00 and a requirement for a 50 percent match of eligible project costs in an
amount up to $50,000.00. The Aviation Department utilizes capital funding from the Future
Grant Matches project (City Project No. 101731) to provide matching grants funds to leverage the
grant funds for projects.
Recently, TxDOT increased the State contribution for Routine Airport Maintenance Program (RAMP)
Grant funds from an amount up to $50,000.00 to an amended amount up to $100,000.00, altering the
City's 50 percent match requirement from $50,000.00 to an amended match of up to $100,000.00, for
a total eligible project cost in an amount up to $200,000.00. For this reason, the Aviation Department is
coming back to City Council for the authorization to accept an award at the now higher grant amounts
allowed as well as appropriate the additional funding necessary, which will be in addition to the
previous appropriation approved in August, in the respective accounts to accommodate for the
increased grant amounts.
Allowable expenses under the 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.

Management Services) will be responsible for the collection and deposit of funds due to the City. Prior

RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:

Fort Worth Meacham International Airport from the Texas Department of Transportation,
Aviation Division, in an amount up to $50,000.00; and
2. Adopt the attached appropriation ordinance increasing estimated receipts and appropriations
in the Muni Airport Grants State Fund, in an amount up to (1) $50,000.00, subject to the
receipt of the grant, and (2) $50,000.00 as a transfer from the Municipal Airport Capital
Project Fund to satisfy the City's match requirement totaling $100,000.00, for the purpose of
funding the Fort Worth Meacham Routine Airport Maintenance Program Grant 2024.
DISCUSSION:
Each year, the City of Fort Worth receives a grant offer from the Texas Department of Transportation
(TxDOT) to provide needed routine maintenance items or to fund small capital improvement projects
at Fort Worth Meacham International Airport (Meacham 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 match 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.
Meacham Airport is located in COUNCIL DISTRICT 2.
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.
