STRATEGIC ALIGNMENT
This action supports Key Focus Area: Enhance Infrastructure and Mobility.
INFORMATION/BACKGROUND
Growth of the Denton Enterprise Airport (“Airport”) in the last ten (10) years has resulted in the Airport
being ranked 5th in the state and 59th in the country for operations (planes that land, and planes that take off
from the Airport). The Airport Master Plan will create a 20-year outlook for the future of the airport,
including strategic needs and opportunities. The plan will provide the City of Denton with a guide for future
development and services that will satisfy aviation demands and be wholly compatible with the
environment. Coffman Associates, Inc. (“Coffman”), was selected through a competitive process and will
be completing the Airport Master Plan.
Required and generalized master planning objectives in the Scope of Services will include:
- To research factors likely to affect all air transportation demand segments at the Airport over the
next twenty years including the development of forecasts of potential commercial, service, air cargo,
general aviation operational, and basing demand.
- To determine the projected needs of airport users for the next twenty years, taking into consideration
recent revisions to Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) design standards and the airport’s
conformance requirements, global positioning system (GPS) approaches or other new technology,
commercial passenger and cargo trends, and the impact of general aviation fleet transition on design
standards.

- To recommend improvements that will enhance the landside area’s ability to satisfy future aviation
needs taking into consideration the potential for commercial passenger service, air cargo, advanced
air mobility (AAM), and general aviation needs.
- To analyze the existing airfield system to determine the existing and ultimate runway lengths
required to satisfy the airport’s critical aircraft. This analysis will include future improvements
necessary to aid in supporting forecast demand.
- To produce accurate base maps of existing and proposed facilities and updated Airport Layout Plan
(ALP) drawings consistent with the FAA’s Standard Operating Procedure sub-consultant contract
agreements.
- Perform monthly budget invoicing and contract management.
- Provide general ongoing project coordination with airport/city staff. This task does not include any
on‐site meetings with staff but could include video, phone, or other distance meeting options.
- Provide general ongoing project coordination with the project management of sub-consultants.
Denton Enterprise Airport is receiving a grant through the FAA under the Infrastructure Investment and
Jobs Act of 2021 (IIJA). This grant program authorizes $1.2 trillion for transportation and infrastructure
spending, with the Airport receiving grant allocations over 5 years, beginning in 2022. The Airport will be
utilizing its 2022 IIJA funding of $763,000 for the project, under which the grant will fund 90% of the
Master Plan project cost, with the City providing the remaining 10%. The Texas Department of
Transportation (TxDOT) will receive the funds from the FAA and administer reimbursement of the 90%
grant funding directly to the City. The use of the IIJA grant requires the City to first provide full payment
every month and receive a reimbursement within 30 days of notification of the City’s payment.
Because the City must first submit payment before receiving reimbursement (which is different from the
typical grant process), the Council must authorize the expenditure of the full amount. However, 90% of that
amount will be reimbursed to the City.
