Title
Consider a resolution authorizing the Mayor to execute a New Pedestrian Under-Bridge Crossing Agreement with Union Pacific Railroad Company for the Brushy Creek Regional Trail Gap Project.
Body
This item would execute an agreement with Union Pacific Railroad (UPRR) to allow the City to construct a portion of the Brushy Creek Regional Trail Project across the UPRR right-of-way. The trail and associated overhead protective structure cross under the elevated railroad bridge located at the entrance to Rabb Park and AW Grimes Blvd. Union Pacific has approved the construction plans already and this agreement allows the City to encroach on UPRR right-of-way for construction of the trail.
The project has funding from FHWA/TxDOT ($2,300,000), Williamson County ($400,000) and the City of Round Rock ($190,000). Staff has received all the necessary approvals and concurrence documents from TxDOT to award the project. The construction contract is for 270 calendar days which corresponds to construction completion in Summer 2014.
Cost: $2,500.00
Source of Funds: 2002 GO Bonds
Recommended Action
Staff recommends approval of the item.
