RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council
1 Authorize the City Manager to apply for and accept if awarded, a grant from the Federal
Aviation Administration (FAA) for federal assistance to make improvements to Fort Worth
Alliance Airport in the amount of 54,838,889, and
2 Adopt the attached appropriations ordinance increasing estimated receipts and
appropriations in the Grants Fund by 54,838,889 from increased revenues upon award of
grant, and
3 Authorize the use of 5483,889 in land value as the City's 10% in-kind match
DISCUSSION
In August 1994, the City Council approved M&C G-10799 allowing for the submission of a
revised preliminary application to the FAA for assistance to make improvements to Fort Worth
Alliance Airport, which totaled 587,291,224 and incorporated the immediate needs of the
Federal Express southwest hub This application has yet to be funded
Federal Express-needed improvements included the widening of taxiway "B",high speed turnoffs,
and taxiways These improvements were estimated to cost approximately 59 million
In August of 1995, the City Council approved M&C G-1 1 187, which allowed the City Manager
to apply fora 53,333,000 grant from the FAA for the Federal Express-required improvements
to the airport This grant was awarded and accepted by the City Council in September of 1995
(M&C G-11216)
The City is now eligible for an additional grant in the amount of 54,838,889 for additional
improvements necessary to award the construction contract for the Federal Express-needed
improvements The federal participation would be 54,355,000 and the in-kind City's share
would be 5483,889 The City's share would be met with the in-kind land credit the City has as
a result of the land that was donated to the City to construct the airport
