in an Amount of Up to $100,000.00, Accept Contribution from Alliance Air Services in
the Amount of Up to $100,000.00 for the City's 50 Percent 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
Perot Field Fort Worth Alliance Airport from the Texas Department of Transportation, Aviation
Division, in an amount up to $100,000.00;
Authorize the acceptance of the contribution from Alliance Air Services, Inc. in an amount up
to $100,000.00 for the City's match requirement of up to 50 percent; and
Adopt the attached appropriation ordinance increasing the estimated receipts and
appropriations in the Muni Airport Grants State Fund in an amount up to $100,000.00,
subject to receipt of the grant, for the purpose of funding the Routine Airport Maintenance
Program Grant 2024 project for Perot Field Fort Worth Alliance Airport.
DISCUSSION:
On August 8, 2023 City Council approved M&C 23-0555 which authorized the acceptance of the
Routine Airport Maintenance Program grant for FY 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 Perot Field Fort Worth Alliance Airport (Perot Field), 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 matching amount is contributed by Alliance Air
Services, Inc., who is contracted by the City of Fort Worth to manage Perot Field, in an amount up to
$50,000.00.
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 this higher amount as well as
appropriate the additional funding necessary, in addition to the funding previously appropriated back in
August, in the respective accounts to accommodate for the increased grant amounts.
The total contribution from Alliance Air Services, Inc. will now be a contribution of an amount up to
$100,000.00 to the City of Fort Worth to use as its grant match, up to 50 percent, of eligible project
costs.
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 or not limited to, public parking areas, hangar access roads and extension of
runway lighting systems.
