Authorize Execution of a Utility Adjustment Agreement with Oncor Electric Delivery Company, LLC, in the Amount of $153,560.00 for Construction Fees Associated with the Relocation of Electrical Power Lines as Part of the Runway Extension Project at Fort Worth Alliance Airport (COUNCIL DISTRICT 2)

It is recommended that the City Council authorize execution of a Utility Adjustment Agreement with Oncor Electric Delivery Company, LLC, in the amount of $153,560.00 for construction fees associated with the relocation of electrical power lines as part of the Runway Extension Project at Fort Worth Alliance Airport.

This Construction Utility Relocation Reimbursement Agreement is required to pay for the relocation of certain Oncor Electric Delivery Company, LLC (Oncor), electrical power lines to allow for the realignment of the Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railroad (BNSF) Main Line as a part of the Runway Extension Project at Fort Worth Alliance Airport.

Oncor has electrical power lines along Bonds Ranch Road, Blue Mound Road, Avondale Haslet Road and FM 156 that will need to be relocated to allow BNSF to construct their new Main Line Track and Collector Track. The Oncor utility facilities will be relocated by Oncor, and Oncor will be reimbursed for the agreed upon amount.

A waiver of the DBE goal was requested by the Aviation Department and approved by the M/WBE Office. This work will be done by Oncor and not the City of Fort Worth.

Federal Aviation Administration funds from Runway Extension Grant No. 3-48-0296-40-2009 will be used for this Project. Existing land credits that remain from the original land donation for Alliance Airport will be used for the City's 10 percent in-kind match.  

This project is located in COUNCIL DISTRICT 2.
