Fort Worth Alliance Airport (Airport) completed their first Title 14 CFR Part 150 Noise Compatibility Planning Study in 1995. Since that time, the Airport has received numerous authorized amendments to update the Noise Compatibility Program due to requests by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). These amendments were executed in order to accurately represent the noise exposure generated by the Airport as aviation activity expanded. On March 3, 2009, (M&C G-16488) the City Council authorized the submission of the Airport's revised Noise Exposure Maps to the FAA. The Noise Exposure Maps were approved by the FAA on May 5, 2009. On March 3, 2010, (M&C G-16863) the City Council authorized the submission of the Airport's Noise Compatibility Program to the FAA as required by the Part 150 Noise Compatibility Study. The Noise Compatibility Program was approved by the FAA on December 1, 2010. On June 26, 2018, (M&C C-28747) the City Council authorized the application for and acceptance of a grant from the FAA in an amount up to $600,000.00 for a Part 150 Noise Exposure Map Update at Fort Worth Alliance Airport. The FAA awarded the funds needed to complete the update on August 27, 2018 (City Secretary Contract No. 51202). The purpose of this update to the Airport's Part 150 Noise Compatibility Study is to perform a Noise Exposure Map Update. This will allow the FAA, the Airport, and the City of Fort Worth to determine if existing Noise Exposure Maps are still valid and representative of the current noise environment at the Airport or if updated maps resulting from changes in operational characteristics require updates to the associated NCP. AVIATION ADVISORY BOARD APPROVAL - On May 17, 2018, the Aviation Advisory Board voted to recommend that the City Council approve this action. MWBE Office: A waiver of the goal for MBE/SBE subcontracting requirements was requested by the Department and approved by the MWBE Office, in accordance with the MWBE or BDE Ordinance, because the purchase of goods or services is from sources where subcontracting or supplier opportunities are negligible. Fort Worth Alliance Airport is located in COUNCIL DISTRICT 7.
