DISCUSSION:
The Texas Department of Transportation, Aviation Division (TxDOT) has advised the Aviation Department additional funding is available for
construction of Phase II of the East -Side Hangar Access Taxilanes project (Project) at Fort Worth Spinks Airport (Airport).
On March 19, 2024, Mayor and Council Communication (M&C) 24-0219 authorized application for and acceptance of $2,298,600.00 for
design and construction of the Project and appropriated $229,860.00 for the City's match. Of the total amount, $2,133,600.00 was authorized for
application and acceptance from TxDOT for construction and $213,360.00 was appropriated for the City's match.
A portion of this Project will also be funded from Fiscal Year 2023, 2024 and 2025 Infrastructure and Investment Jobs Act (IIJA) grant funds. M&C
23-0649, M&C 24-0170 and M&C 25-0043 all authorized application for and acceptance of these I IJA grant funds, as well as appropriated the
City's match requirement for these grants.
TxDOT will be awarding an additional amount up to $92,000.00 for this Project, and upon approval of this M&C, the funding breakdown is as
follows:
Funding Source Amount
TxDOT Grant Funds (previously appropriated) $2,133,600.00
IIJA Grant Funds (previously appropriated) $1,193,195.00
City's Match Requirement (previously appropriated) $179,900.00
Additional TxDOT Grant Funds $92,000.00
Project Total I $3,598,695.001
This Project will consist of constructing up to three additional taxilanes on the northeast side of the Airport (see attached map), and is located
directly east of Phase I, which was completed in July of 2024. This Project will allow for future Airport development and will help alleviate the current
issue of limited hangar space. These taxilanes will be designed to support a mixture of both T-Hangars and Box Hangars, allowing for a variety of
different aircraft to be housed at the Airport.
This Project will also consist of rehabilitating the failed pavement on Taxilane Kilo on the northeast side of the Airport (see attached map). This
pavement is original to the old Oak Grove Airport that was dosed in 1989, and according to the results of a Pavement Condition Index (PCI),
Taxilane Kilo's PCI Rating indicates the taxilane pavement has failed and is in dire need of repair. The failed pavement on Taxilane Kilo currently
provides access to three hangars, along with available space that could be used for future development. This Project will not only greatly improve
Taxilane Kilo for current users, but for future users as well.
Funding for the required City match has already been appropriated in previous M&Cs from the Municipal Airport Capital Projects Fund in the
Future Grant Matches project.
Since no City salaries will be charged to these grants, indirect cost recovery does not apply.
The grant application repository number is GRNT-APPL-0000000153.
Fort Worth Spinks Airport is located in COUNCIL DISTRICT 8.
A Form 1295 is not required because: This contract will be with a governmental entity, state agency or public institution of higher education: Texas
Department of Transportation
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 Federal 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.
