DATE: January 15, 2009
SUBJECT: City Council Meeting — January 22, 2009
ITEM: 9F2. Consider a resolution authorizing the Mayor to execute an Advance
Funding Agreement with the Texas Department of Transportation for the
relocation of water and wastewater lines on FM1460 (A.W. Grimes
North).
Department:
Staff Person:
Transportation Services
Tom Martin, P.E., Director of Transportation Services
Justification:
In conjunction with the proposed TxDOT project to reconstruct FM 1460 (A.W.Grimes
Boulevard) between U.S. 79 and Old Settlers Boulevard, it is necessary for the City to relocate
and/or remove existing City -owned water and sanitary sewer lines currently located within the
FM 1460 rights-of-way. This Advance Funding Agreement provides the mechanism for this
work to be performed as part of the TxDOT project.
Funding:
Cost: $571,743.00
Source of funds: Round Rock Transportation Development Corporation (4B Corporation)
Outside Resources: TxDOT and Chaing, Patel and Yerby, Inc.
Background Information:
In 2002, the Round Rock Transportation Development Corporation approved the execution of
an Agreement to Contribute Funds — Local Government with TxDOT for the acquisition of rights-
of-way for the FM 1460 project between U.S. 79 and OId Settlers Boulevard in the amount of
$450,000. This amount represented the City's 10% share of the acquisition costs. In 2005, the
City Council approved Resolution R -05-04-14F4 authorizing the execution of an Advance
Funding Agreement in the approximate amount of $2.2 million for the costs of construction of
the realigned intersection of Old Settlers Boulevard with the proposed FM 1460 project
between U.S. 79 and OId Settlers Boulevard. In 2006, the City Council approved Resolution R-
06 -09-28-14C1 authorizing the execution and submission of a Standard Utility Agreement with
TxDOT for reimbursement of costs for the relocation and/or removal of City -owned water and
sanitary sewer lines with the existing FM 1460 rights-of-way between U.S. 79 and Old Settlers
Boulevard. At that time, the City intended to perform this work under a separate contract prior
to the Agreement, it was estimated that approximately 12% of the utility work would be
reimbursable by TxDOT. However, due to clarifications concerning the ownership of waterlines
and associated easement through the Chandler Creek M.U.D., the amount reimbursable to the
City may increase.
