SUBJECT APPROVE AND ACCEPT A GRANT FROM THE FEDERAL AVIATION
ADMINISTRATION IN THE AMOUNT UP TO $20,000,000 FOR ADDITIONAL WORK
ON THE RUNWAY EXTENSION PROJECT AT FORT WORTH ALLIANCE AIRPORT
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council
1. Authorize the.City Manager to apply for and accept, if awarded, a grant from the Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA) in the amount up to $20,000,000 for additional work associated with the
runway extension project at Fort Worth Alliance Airport; and
2. Authorize the use of land credits in the amount up to $2,222,222 for the City's in-kind local match of
10% of the project cost; and
3. Adopt the attached appropriation ordinance increasing estimated receipts and appropriations in the
Airport Grants fund by up to $20,000,000 subject to receipt of the grant.
DISCUSSION: ~ ~°~
Each year, the. City receives discretionary FAA funding for the runway extension project at Fort Worth
Alliance Airport. The amount of funding varies depending on the amount of .discretionary funds
available at the end of the fiscal year. FAA has advised the City to expect between $3,000,000 and
$20,000,000 this year and has asked that a project application be submitted. Since these funds do not
become available until the very end of the year, the FAA needs to have the application in hand in order
to issue a grant before the fiscal year ends.
Upon receipt of a grant from the FAA, the scope of work to be done under the runway extension project
will be identified and an amendment to the program management contract with Carter & Burgess will be
prepared and brought back to City Council for approval. Remaining funds will be used for construction.
FISCAL INFORMATION/CERTIFICATION:
The Finance Director certifies that upon approval~of the above recommendations, receipt of the grant
and adoption of the attached appropriation ordinance, funds will be available in the current capital
budget, as appropriated, of the Airports Grants Fund.
