RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Authorize the use of existing revenue derived from pipeline easement leases in the amount of
$582,155.00 for Fiscal Year 2009 for airport planning services at City-owned airports;
2. Adopt the attached appropriation ordinance increasing estimated receipts and appropriations in the
Aviation Improvements Capital Projects Fund in the amount of $582,155.00;

5. Authorize the City Manager to execute a Professional Services Agreement in the amount of $522,155.00

and Spinks Airports.
DISCUSSION:
The Fort Worth Aviation Department requested the Transportation and Public Works Architectural Services
Division assist the department in the preparation of a Request for Qualifications for airport planning
services.
The consultant will evaluate certain areas of the airports for potential redevelopment. These areas are
those that typically have aviation uses associated with them. The intent will be to evaluate alternative
development plans and facilitate the redevelopment in a manner that makes the highest and' best use for
both the airside and landside of these properties.
The Aviation Department has identified two areas to be evaluated. The area surrounding the Meacham
International Airport Terminal Building and the east side of Spinks Airport, formerly the location of Oak
Grove Airport will be evaluated. The proposal to complete these two evaluations is outlined below at a cost
not to exceed $522,155.00. The remaining $60,000.00 of the authorized funding is to cover internal
services.

The Aviation Department also requires assistance from the consultant in evaluating development
proposals for the airports to ensure that the developments are located in the proper areas and make the
highest and best use for both the airside and landside of the properties. This assistance will be provided
via an on-call arrangement. The expectation is that no more than $50,000.00 a year will be needed for
these evaluations. The funding for this portion of the Agreement will be budgeted and appropriated within
the Aviation Department's annual operating budget not to exceed $250,000.00 over the five-year period.
This Agreement will be submitted for City Council approval at a later date.
The Request for Qualifications from planning and architectural design firms was advertised in the Fort
Worth Star-Telegram on April 24, 2008, and May 1, 2008. Seven firms provided submittals. The City staff
ranked the seven submittals, interviewed the top three firms on June 25, 2008, and selected URS
Corporation as the best qualified firm.

Miscellaneous and Staff $60,000.00
Total $582,155.00
