SUBJECT:
Authorize Application and Accept, if Offered, a Cost Share Agreement with the Federal: Aviation
Administration Contract 'Tower Program for Partial Funding of Air Traffic Control Services and
Authorize Execution of'a Contract with Robinson Aviation, Inc., at Fort Worth Spirts Airport
RECOMMENDATION;
A
It is recommended that the City Council authorize the City Manager to:
1. Apply for and accept, if offered, a cost share agreement with the Federal Aviation Administration
for partial funding of the Air Traffic Control Services at Fort Worth Spin ks Airport; and
2. Authorize execution of a contract with Robinson Aviation, Inc,, in an estimated amount of $128,784
annually from the Municipal Airports Fund for the operation of Air Traffic Control Services at Fort Worth
Sipink,s Airploirt.
DI 5C SSION,.,
The City currently operates the Air Traffic Control (ATC) Services at Fort Worth Splint s Airport. Under the
proposed cost share agreement, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the City would share the
cost of outsourcing the ATC services to a contractor. Based on a recent cost benefit analysis by the FAA, it
was concluded the FAA would pay 74 percent of the cost of the contract. The City will pay the remaining 26
percent with the potential of '100 percent funding in the future based on the annual operations of the
Airport.
The FAA currently contracts with Robinson Aviation, Inc., (RVA) for ATC services in the Southwest
Region. Upon approval by the FAA for entry into the FAA Control Tower Program, the Aviation department
along with the, FAA will enter into a contract with RVA totaling $495,325.00, The City's 26 percent of the
contract will be an estimated amount of $128,784 annuallly. The term of the contract will be for one year
beginning September 26, 2007 ending September 25, 2008. After September 25, 2008,, the contract will be
renewed on an annual basis.
The FAA Contract Tower Program,, which began in 1982, allows the FAA to contract ATC Services to the
private sector at visual flight rule (V FR), airports. The primary advantages of this program are enhanced
safety, improved ATC services and significant VFR ATC cost savings to FAA. Currently, 226 smaller
airports participate in the program, representing 45 percent of all control: towers in the U.S. In addition, the
FAA contracts out approximately 25 percent of control tower aircraft operations for about 10 percent of the
FAA's,budget to olperate all control towers in the U.S.
Renewal Options - This contract may be renewed annually without specific City Council approval provided
funds are sufficiently appropriated to satisfy the City's,obl:ig:ation during the renewal period.
The property is located in COUNCIL DisTRICT8.
