Title
Consider a resolution authorizing the Mayor to execute a Standard Utility Agreement with Charter Communications for the RM 620 Project from Deepwood Drive to IH-35.
Body
The purpose of the proposed RM 620 Safety Improvements project from Deep Wood Drive to IH 35 is to improve safety and enhance mobility in the project area. The project includes a bridge to carry RM 620 traffic over the Union Pacific Railroad (UPRR) and Chisholm Trail Road. In order to maintain access to businesses and residences in the vicinity of the proposed bridge, at-grade local access roads will be constructed between Lake Creek Drive and Chisholm Trail Road. A second bridge is proposed to carry RM 620 traffic over Lake Creek Drive.
The City, through separate agreements with TxDOT, is coordinating the relocation of utilities within the project corridor to allow for construction of the roadway improvements. The utility reimbursement costs are defined through an AFA with TxDOT on a 90/10 basis with TxDOT reimbursing 90% of the relocation costs to the City.
The attached Standard Utility Agreement is between the City and Charter Communications. There is a small percentage of relocation costs that are reimbursable based on TxDOT guidelines. The City will pay these costs up front and seek reimbursement from TxDOT. This reimbursable relocation cost is identified as $21,044.60. The City will seek $18,940.14 in reimbursement from TxDOT leaving the City with a final cost of $2,104.46.
Cost: $21,044.60
