ARTICLE 5. Non -Interference with Operations
The Sponsor understands and hereby agrees that any relocation, replacement, or
modification of any existing or future FAA facility, system, and/or equipment covered by
this Agreement during its term or any renewal thereof made necessary by Sponsor
improvements, changes, or other actions which in the FAA's opinion interfere with the
technical and/or operations characteristics of an FAA facility, system, and/or piece of
equipment will be at the expense of the Sponsor, except when such improvements or
changes are made at the written request of the FAA. In the event such relocations,
replacements, or modifications are necessitated due to causes not attributable to either the
Sponsor or the FAA, the parties will determine funding responsibility.
ARTICLE 6. Property Transfer
A. To the extent that the Sponsor provides any material associated with the Project, and
to the extent that performance of the requirements of this Project results in the
creation of assets constructed, emplaced, or installed by the Sponsor, all such material
(buildings, equipment, systems, components, cable enclosures, etc.) and assets will be
transferred to and become the property of the FAA upon project completion. For
purposes of this Article 6, "project completion" means that FAA has inspected the
specific equipment or construction and has accepted it as substantially complete and
ready for use. The creation of an additional agreement will not be required, unless
such other agreement is required by the laws of the state in which the subject property
is located. The Sponsor and FAA acknowledge by execution of this agreement the
FAA will accept the fundamental responsibilities of ownership by assuming all
operations and maintenance requirements for all property transferred to the
FAA. The transfer of asset(s) will occur on the date the asset(s) is placed in
Non -Federal Reimbursable Agreement V98 Page 7 of 13
Agreement Number

service. It has been determined the subject transfer(s) to FAA is in the best interest of
both the Sponsor and FAA.
B. In order to ensure that the assets and materials subject to this Article remain fully
accounted for and operational, the Sponsor will provide the FAA any additional
documents and publications that will enhance the FAA's ability to manage, maintain
and track the assets being transferred. Examples may include, but are not limited to,
operator manuals, maintenance publications, warranties, inspection reports, etc.
These documents will be considered required hand-off items upon Project
completion.

D. The FAA will accept payments under this Article from only one of two sources:
either (1) the Sponsor or (2) a Third Party on behalf of the Sponsor, and the same
source must make all required payments. If a Third Party makes the payments, then
any refund due from FAA upon completion of the Agreement will be returned to that
Third Party.
E. The FAA will provide the Sponsor a quarterly Statement of Account of costs incurred
against the advance payment.
F. The cost estimates contained in Article 7 are expected to be the maximum costs
associated with this Agreement but may be amended to recover the FAA's actual
costs. If during the course of this Agreement actual costs are expected to exceed the
estimated costs, the FAA will notify the Sponsor immediately. The FAA will also
provide the Sponsor an amendment to the Agreement which includes the FAA's
additional costs. The Sponsor agrees to prepay the entire estimated cost of the
amendment. The Sponsor will send a copy of the executed amendment to the
Agreement to the Reimbursable Receipts Team with the additional advance payment.

DISCUSSION
The purpose of this Mayor and Council Communication (M&C) is to authorize execution of a
Non -Federal Reimbursable Agreement (RA) in the amount up to $629,750.00 with the Federal
Aviation Administration (FAA) for improvements to the Runway 16-34 Instrument Landing
System (ILS) at Fort Worth Meacham International Airport (Airport).

FORT WORTH,
On May 30, 2025, the Aviation Department was informed by the Texas Department of
Transportation - Aviation Division (TxDOT) that funding is available for construction of
Runway 16-34 Rehabilitation and Runway Safety Area (RSA) improvements at the Airport. In
order to improve the RSA on the southwest side of the Airport, a new parallel Taxiway Tango
will be constructed. Due to the construction of this new taxiway, the existing glideslope
antenna and shelter for Runway 34 need to be relocated (see attached map).
On November 18, 2025, M&C 25-1083 authorized execution of an engineering services
agreement (City Secretary Contract (CSC) No. 64406) with Garver, LLC. (Garver), which
includes design and bidding support services for rehabilitation of Runway 16-34, RSA
improvements, construction of Taxiway Tango, and relocation of the ILS.
Since the ILS is FAA owned and maintained equipment, execution of an RA is necessary and
will consist of design and engineering review services from the FAA. It also includes the cost
of three (3) Navigational Aid (NAVAID) shelters due to the long lead time for procurement.
Even though the Project is only directly impacting a few components of the ILS, the FAA views
the closure of Runway 16-34 resulting from the Project as a Target of Opportunity to replace
and upgrade the entire ILS system. Not only is the current ILS system over twenty years old
and reaching the end of its service life, but replacing the entire system instead of just a few
components will ensure uniformity of the upgraded equipment. The FAA has agreed to
provide the new ILS equipment if the Aviation Department includes the installation and
construction of the equipment in the Project. The cost of the ILS equipment provided by the
FAA is estimated to be $2,100,000.00.
Funding is available in the net position of the Municipal Airport Fund for the Aviation
Department for the purpose of transferring to the Municipal Airport Capital Projects Fund for
the RA. Net Position beginning balance is $12,540,221.00 and the new balance will be
$11,910,471.00 after this M&C.
Funding for this RA was not included in the Fiscal Year (FY) 2026-2030 Capital Improvement
Program due to the amount of the RA being unknown. A meeting to discuss the RA with the
FAA was held in February of 2026; however, the final amount was not provided until May of
2026. The action in this M&C will amend the FY2026-2030 Capital Improvement Program as
approved in connection with Ordinance 27979-09-2025.
Fort Worth Meacham International Airport is located in COUNCIL DISTRICT 2.
This contract will be with a governmental entity, state agency or public institution of higher
education.

Municipal Airport Fund and upon approval of the above recommendations and adoption of
