LOG NAME: 20TRINITY ONCOR RELOC
SUBJECT
(CD 5) Authorize the Execution of Discretionary Service Agreement with Oncor Electric Delivery Company, LLC in the Amount of $520,000.00 for
the Relocation of Overhead Utilities and Installation of Underground Utilities Along Trinity Boulevard from Interstate Highway 820
to Riverlakes Drive.
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council authorize the execution of a discretionary service agreement for the relocation of overhead utilities and the
installation of underground utilities along Trinity Boulevard from Interstate Highway 820 to Riverlakes Drive with Oncor Electric Delivery Company,
LLC in the amount not to exceed $520,000.00 (City Project No. 102101).
DISCUSSION:
On January 31, 2013, the Board of Tax Increment Reinvestment Zone Number Fourteen (Trinity Lakes TIF) adopted a project and financing plan for
the Trinity Lakes TIF, which was approved by the City Council by ordinance and in accordance with Section 311.011 of the Texas Tax Code.
Included in the project and financing plan were certain proposed infrastructure improvements to Trinity Boulevard intended to mitigate
flooding, enhance walkability, and support the development of surrounding properties (Mayor and Council Communication 20-0939).
Trinity Boulevard is a major corridor with proposed mixed use and commercial development which will provide access to the proposed Trinity
Metro rail station. It is desired to bury the franchise utilities to improve the corridor aesthetics. Oncor Electric Delivery Company, LLC (Oncor)
proposes to relocate approximately 3,300 linear feet of overhead electric lines on the south side of Trinity Boulevard by installing
approximately 3,300 linear feet of underground electric line from Interstate Highway 820 to Riverlakes Dr.
The Discretionary Service Agreement (DSA) is for an amount not to exceed $520,000.00. Upon authorization and execution of the DSA, Oncor will
perform the scope of work and invoice the City for actual cost of work. City staff considers this cost to be fair and reasonable for the proposed
scope of services. The local developer, Trinity Lakes Partners, LLC, will share the cost of the work by reimbursing the City with the City's maximum
participation being $260,000.00.
Construction of Trinity Boulevard is anticipated to begin in Spring 2022. Funding for this project is being provided from the Trinity Lakes TIF
program.
The Project is located in COUNCIL DISTRICT 5.
A Form 1295 is not required because: This contract will be with an electric utility: Oncor
FISCAL INFORMATION / CERTIFICATION:
The Director of Finance certifies that funds will be available in the current capital budget, as appropriated, in the Trinity Lakes CO 2021 Fund to
support the approval of the above recommendation and execution of the agreement. Prior to an expenditure being incurred, the Transportation
and Public Works Department has the responsibility to validate the availability of funds.
