Summary
COUNCIL GOAL: Operational Excellence
MEETING DATE: December 5, 2017
DEPARTMENT: Development Services / Engineering

RECOMMENDED CITY COUNCIL ACTION:
• Approval of Ordinance.
ITEM SUMMARY:
• This Ordinance amends the Fiscal Year 2017-2018 Annual Budget and the 2018 - 2022 Capital Improvements Program by transferring $3,200,000 from the Unallocated Utility Construction Fund Balance (WA0000) in the Utility Construction Fund to WA1630 - Custer Road Utility Relocations Project.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
• A concurrent Resolution on the Council Agenda authorizes the City Manager to execute a Contract and any Supplemental Agreements for Engineering Services for WA1630 - Custer Road Utility Relocations Project.
• The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) is in the process of design and right-of-way acquisition for the upcoming widening construction of Custer Road from US 380 to FM 1461 in northwest McKinney. TxDOT has the construction letting scheduled for September of 2020.
• The Custer Road Utility Relocation project will relocate the existing water lines to clear the proposed roadway facilities needed by TxDOT prior to the roadway construction.
• There is approximately 17,000 linear feet of an existing 8 inch water distribution line along Custer Road that is in conflict with the proposed TxDOT widening project. The relocated water line will be upsized to a minimum of 18 inch water line per the 2012-2013 Water Master Plan. An evaluation of the Water Master Plan will be conducted to possibly increase the size to a 24 inch water line based on costs and modeling analyses.
• The new water line will be located in a permanent easement on the east side the Custer Road right-of-way.
• The project funding will provide for advancing the design and easement acquisition for the water line relocations prior to TxDOT reconstruction of the roadway.
FINANCIAL SUMMARY:
• The amendment of the FY 2018 - 2022 Capital Improvement Program will deduct existing funding from the Unallocated Utility Construction Fund Balance (WA0000) in the amount of $3,200,000 and supplement existing funding for project WA1630 in the amount of $3,200,000.
