DISCUSSION: On August 24, 2004, (MBC P-10003) the City Council authorized the execution of a contract, at no initial cost, for consulting services with DMJM Aviation. The five-year contract allows DMJM to provide engineering services for projects funded by Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Nan-Primary Airport Grants and Cargo Entitlement Grants. On March 29, 2005, (M&C P-20626) the City Council authorized the initial phase (Phase 1) of this contract with DMJM Aviation for the preparation of a Preliminary Engineering Report to assess and make recommendations on certain necessary improvements and to design the rehabilitation of the northeast taxiway access to FedEx at Fort Worth Alliance Airport. The design of the northeast taxiway rehabilitation is underway and the Preliminary Engineering Report has been completed. A portion of the improvements included in the Preliminary Engineering Report include the design of replacement wind cones and 23 runway/taxiway guidance signs. On May 24, 2005, (M&C C- 20755) the City Council approved acceptance if awarded a grant from the FAA in the amount of $439,602.00 for the design and construction of the recommended improvement. In order to move forward with the design, while the City is waiting for the grant to be issued, Alliance Air Services, through its President, Mr. Tim Ward, proposes to provide advance funds for the design costs associated with this project. If approved, Alliance Air Services will request a reimbursement to be paid from grant funds after the grant has been received. In the event the grant is not received, the City of Fort Worth will not be responsible for reimbursement of any monies paid associated with this action. In accordance with the on-call agreement with DMJM Aviation, a design fee in. the amount of $38,729.80 has been negotiated. MWBE — DMJM Aviation is in compliance with the City's M/WBE Ordinance by committing to 74% M/WBE participation. The City's goal on the project is 10%.
