The Aviation Department is seeking City Council approval to authorize execution of a construction contract with Mario Sinacola and Sons
Excavating, Inc. (Sinacola), in an amount up to $7,993,069.09 for the construction of Phase III of the Taxiway Papa Extension project (Project) at
Perot Field Fort Worth Alliance Airport (Airport).
On August 9, 2023 and August 16, 2023, the Project was advertised in the Fort Worth Star -Telegram. On September 7, 2023, the City received

$10,313,484.00
After review and evaluation of the bids, Sinacola was determined to be the most qualified bidder and selected for the Project.
The location of this Project is on the west side of the Airport (see attached map), and will extend Taxiway Papa north approximately 675 feet, as
well as connect Taxiway Papa to Runway 16R/34L at Taxiway Foxtrot. This taxiway extension will continue to provide greater ease of access
to tenants on the west side of the Airport and allow for better overall operational efficiency. This Project also provides additional public protection
along the west perimeter of the Airport by providing a larger protection zone that will enhance the margin of safety on airport property in
accordance with Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Advisory Circulars. This Project is being funded by FAA Discretionary, Entitlement and
Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) Grant funding.
Staff proposes funding the entire cost of the Project from FAA Discretionary, Entitlement and BIL grant funds, a portion of which is not anticipated
to be received until later this fiscal year.
Approval of this Mayor and Council Communication (M&C) would allocate $1,154,264.26 from the Fiscal Year 2021 (FY21) Discretionary grant
(City Project No. 103668), $2,299,009.98 from the Fiscal Year 2023 (FY23) Discretionary/Entitlement grant (City Project No. 105121), and
$3,222,356.00 from the Fiscal Year 2023 (FY23) BIL grant (City Project No. 105122). The remaining $1,317,438.85 is expected to be paid out of
the Fiscal Year 24 (FY24) BIL grant, if received.
Since an award has not yet been received from the FY24 BIL grant, this M&C includes an appropriation from available funds of up to
$1,317,439.00 within the Alliance Airport Capital Fund to fill the funding gap and provide interim financing for the remaining costs of the Project.
Another M&C will be completed to authorize the application and acceptance of the FY24 BIL grant, if awarded, as well as allocation of funds to this
Project.
If the FY24 BIL grant is awarded, another M&C will be completed and include an appropriation ordinance to "undo" the $1,317,439.00 increase in
appropriations being recommended today so that those dollars can be returned to fund balance/available fund (City Project No. UNSPEC) within
the Alliance Airport Capital Fund for future use. If FY24 BIL grant funding is not received, the funds appropriated from the Alliance Airport Capital
Fund, as discussed above, will remain in place to cover a portion of the costs of the Project.
Mario Sinacola and Sons Excavating, Inc. is in compliance with the City's DBE Program by committing to 20% DBE participation on this Project.
The City's DBE goal on this Project is 20%.
Since no City salaries will be charged to this grant, indirect cost recovery does not apply.
Perot Field Fort Worth Alliance Airport is located in COUNCIL DISTRICT 10.
