BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
• The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) is in the process of design and right-of-way acquisition for the upcoming US 380 Bypass project between Coit Road and University Drive. TxDOT has the Ready-to-Let date tentatively scheduled for June 2028. TxDOT has informed the City of McKinney that the construction of this project is currently not fully funded.
• The US 380 Utility Relocations Phase 1 project is required to relocate and improve the existing water and sanitary sewer mains and services to clear the proposed roadway facilities needed by TxDOT prior to the roadway construction.
• There is approximately 26,900 linear feet of existing water distribution lines ranging in size from 12 inch to 66 inch and 6,900 linear feet of existing sanitary sewer collection lines ranging in size from 8 inch to 30 inch along the proposed US 380 alignment that are in conflict with the proposed TxDOT project.
• Permanent easements and temporary construction easements will be needed in areas where the space is limited for the relocated water and sanitary sewer lines. There are approximately 160 parcels that easements are expected to be acquired along the project limits.
• A Standard Utility Agreement (SUA) with The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) will be prepared as part of this project for reimbursement by TxDOT for expenses due to the US 380 Utility Relocations Phase 1 project. The total cost of the City utility relocation project, including design, easement acquisition, construction, project management, and construction inspection is estimated to be $60,600,000.
• The City and Collin County entered into an interlocal agreement (ILA) on April 7, 2025 concerning costs reimbursement for the utility relocations relating to construction of the 380 Bypass and Spur 399 Extension.
