(CD 8) Adopt Appropriation Ordinance Increasing Estimated Receipts and Appropriations in the Municipal Airport Grants Federal Fund (Muni
Airport Grants Federal Fund), in an Amount of $52,816.00, Transferred from the Municipal Airport Capital Project Fund as an Additional Amount
Needed for the City's Contribution to the East-Side Taxilane Design Project at Fort Worth Spinks Airport
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended the City Council adopt the attached appropriation ordinance increasing estimated receipts and appropriations in the Muni
Airport Grants Federal Fund, in an amount of $52,816.00, transferred from the Municipal Airport Capital Project Fund, for the purpose of funding
the East-Side Taxilane Design project (City Project No. 105661) at Fort Worth Spinks Airport.
DISCUSSION:
On March 19, 2024, Mayor and Council Communication (M&C) 24-0219 authorized acceptance of a grant from the Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA), passed through the Texas Department of Transportation, Aviation Division (TxDOT) for design of Phase II of the East-Side
Hangar Access Taxilanes project (Project) at Fort Worth Spinks Airport (Airport). The total estimated amount of the design was $165,000.00,
where TxDOT would fund up to $148,500.00 (90%), and the City of Fort Worth (City) would fund $16,500.00 (10%) which is allocated in grant
project (City Project No. 105661), Grant Award City Secretary Contract (CSC) # 61488.
After design had begun, it was determined a portion of the project resides in a floodplain, which requires additional work by the design firm. This
additional work was estimated to be $103,000.00; however, after negotiations, the amount was lowered to $85,500.00. This additional work is
funded 100% by the City. M&C 24-0715 authorized Amendment 1 to the grant and added the additional allocation to project (City Project No.
105661) of $85,500.00 (Grant Award Amendment CSC# 61488-A1).
After approval of M&C 24-0715, TxDOT approached the City and suggested design of the East-Side Taxilane Kilo Rehabilitation project (Taxilane
Kilo Rehab) be included with design of the Project. Taxilane Kilo Rehab design would be 100% funded by the City; however, TxDOT would act as
the agent on behalf of the City. M&C 24-0868 authorized $861,000.00 for the design and construction of the Taxilane Kilo Rehab project. This
$861,000.00 was allocated to project (City Project No. 105803).
TxDOT grant award amendment, CSC# 61488 A-1, executed on November 1, 2024, included the City's contribution for design of $52,816.00. This
amount is currently allocated in project (City Project No.105803). This M&C will transfer the allocation from project 105803 to project 105661 so
the project has the full amount of TxDOT pass-thru funds, City's 10% required match, and the remaining City contribution as outlined in the table
below.
