2. Termination
This agreement shall remain in effect until the project is completed and accepted by all
parties, unless:
A. The agreement is terminated in writing with the mutual consent of the parties;
B. The agreement is terminated by one party because of a breach, in which case any cost
incurred because of the breach shall be paid by the breaching party; or
C. The Project is inactive for thirty-six (36) months or longer and no expenditures have
been charged against federal funds, in which case the State may in its discretion
terminate this agreement.
3. General
A. The Local Government agrees to proceed with acquisition of right of way and the State
agrees to reimburse the Local Government for its share of the cost of the right of way,
providing the acquisition and reimbursement are accomplished according to the
provisions outlined in this agreement.
B. The State and the Local Government agree that acquisition of this right of way shall be
in accordance with the Texas Department of Transportation Right of Way Manual and
all applicable federal and state laws governing the acquisition of real property.
C. It is understood that the terms of this agreement shall apply to new right of way,
authorized and requested by the State, which is needed and not yet dedicated, in use,
or previously acquired in the name of the State or Local Government for highway,
street, or road purposes. This agreement shall also apply, with regard to any existing
right of way, to outstanding property interests not previously acquired and to eligible
utility adjustments not previously made, as authorized and requested by the State.
D. It is further understood that if unusual circumstances develop in the right of way
acquisition and they are not clearly covered by the terms of this agreement, those
unusual circumstances or problems will be resolved by mutual agreement between the
State and the Local Government.
4. Local Project Sources and Uses of Funds
A. The total estimated cost of the Project is shown in Attachment C, Project Budget
Estimate, which is attached to and made a part of this agreement. The expected cash
contributions from the Federal or State government, the Local Governments, or other
parties are shown in Attachment C. The State will pay for only those project costs that
have been approved by the Texas Transportation Commission. If Federal funding is
included, the State and the Federal Government will not reimburse the Local
Government for any work performed before the federal spending authority is formally
obligated to the Project by the Federal Highway Administration. After federal funds
have been obligated, the State will send to the Local Government a copy of the formal
documentation showing the obligation of funds including federal award information. The
Local Government is responsible for 100% of the cost of any work performed under its
direction or control before the federal spending authority is formally obligated.

B. If the Local Government will perform any work under this contract for which
reimbursement will be provided by or through the State, the Local Government must
complete training before federal spending authority is obligated. Training is complete
when at least one individual who is working actively and directly on the Project
successfully completes and receives a certificate for the course entitled Local
Government Project Procedures Qualification for the Texas Department of
Transportation. The Local Government shall provide the certificate of qualification to
the State. The individual who receives the training certificate may be an employee of
the Local Government or an employee of a firm that has been contracted by the Local
Government to perform oversight of the Project. The State in its discretion may deny
reimbursement if the Local Government has not designated a qualified individual to
oversee the Project.
C. The Project cost estimate in Attachment C shows how necessary resources for
completing the Project will be provided by major cost categories. These categories may
include but are not limited to: (1) costs of real property and (2) costs of utility work.
D. The State will be responsible for securing the Federal and State share of the funding
required for the development of the local Project. If the Local Government is due funds
for expenses incurred, these funds will be reimbursed to the Local Government on a
cost basis.
E. The Local Government will be responsible for all non-federal or non -state participation
costs associated with the Project, including any overruns in excess of the approved
local project budget unless otherwise provided for in this agreement or approved
otherwise in an amendment to this agreement.
F. In the event any existing, future, or proposed Local Government ordinance,
commissioner's court order, rule, policy, or other directive, including, but not limited to,
outdoor advertising or storm water drainage facility requirements, is more restrictive
than State or federal regulations, or any other locally proposed change, including, but
not limited to, plats or re -plats, results in any increased costs to the State, then the
Local Government will pay one hundred percent (100%) of all those increased costs,
even if the applicable county qualifies as an Economically Disadvantaged County
(EDC). The amount of the increased costs associated with the existing, future, or
proposed Local Government ordinance, commissioner's court order, rule, policy, or
other directive will be determined by the State at its sole discretion.
G. If the Local government is an EDC and if the State has approved adjustments to the
standard financing arrangement, this agreement reflects those adjustments.
H. Payment under this contract beyond the end of the current fiscal biennium is subject to
availability of appropriated funds. If funds are not appropriated, this contract shall be
terminated immediately with no liability to either party.
I. The Local Government is authorized to submit requests for reimbursement by
submitting the original of an itemized invoice in a form and containing all items required
by the State no more frequently than monthly, and no later than ninety (90) days after
costs are incurred. If the Local Government submits invoices more than ninety (90)

days after the costs are incurred, and if federal funding is reduced as a result, the State
shall have no responsibility to reimburse the Local Government for those costs.
5. Location Surveys and Preparation of Right of Way Data
The State, without cost to the Local Government, will perform the necessary preliminary
engineering and title investigation in order to supply to the Local Government the data and
instruments necessary to obtain acceptable title to the desired right of way.
6. Determination of Right of Way Values
The Local Government agrees to make a determination of property values for each right of
way parcel by methods acceptable to the State and to submit to the State a tabulation of
those values, signed by the appropriate Local Government representative. The tabulation
shall list the parcel numbers, ownership, acreage, and recommended compensation.
Compensation shall be shown in the component parts of land taken, itemization of
improvements taken, damages (if any), and the amounts by which the total compensation
will be reduced if the owner retains improvements. This tabulation shall be accompanied
by an explanation to support the determined values, together with a copy of information or
reports used in arriving at all determined values. This work will be performed by the Local
Government at its expense without cost participation by the State. The State will review the
data submitted and may base its reimbursement on the values that are determined by this
review. The State, however, reserves the right to perform at its own expense any
additional investigation, including supplemental appraisal work by State employees or by
employment of fee appraisers, deemed necessary for determination of values to constitute
the basis for State reimbursement. The parties may waive the requirement that the Local
Government submit to the State property value determinations for any part of the required
right of way by a writing signed by both parties. In instances of a waiver, the State, in its
discretion, will make a determination of values to constitute the basis for State
reimbursement.
7. Negotiations
The State will notify the Local Government as soon as possible as to the State's
determination of value. Negotiation and settlement with the property owner will be the
responsibility of the Local Government without participation by the State; however, the
Local Government will notify the State immediately prior to closing the transaction so that a
current title investigation may be made to determine if there has been any change in the
title. The Local Government will deliver properly executed instruments of conveyance that,
together with any curative instruments found to be necessary as a result of the State's title
investigation, will properly vest good and indefeasible title in the State for each right of way
parcel involved. The Local Government will also deliver to the State an owner's policy of
title insurance for each parcel, except as otherwise specifically approved by the State.
Upon payment to the property owner of the agreed purchase price, the Local Government
is authorized and directed to secure for the State possession of each parcel in accordance
with all applicable Federal and State laws governing relocation assistance, notices to

vacate, and forcible detainer. The costs incidental to negotiation, recording the right of way
instruments, and securing possession of the parcels will be the responsibility of the Local
Government. The cost of title insurance, closing services, and all costs of relocation
assistance as authorized by applicable Federal and State laws will be the responsibility of
the State.
8. Administrative Settlements
After the offer has been delivered to the property owner, and prior to the Special
Commissioners' Hearing, the property owner may deliver one written counteroffer
("Administrative Settlement Proposal") to the Local Government. The Local Government
will evaluate the Administrative Settlement Proposal and make a recommendation of
approval or disapproval to the State. The State will consider the Administrative Settlement
Proposal and the Local Government's recommendation and make a final determination of
approval or disapproval in accordance with current State procedures. The State's approval
of the Administrative Settlement Proposal is only for purposes of closing the purchase of
the property prior to the Special Commissioners' Hearing. If a closing of the purchase does
not occur prior to the hearing, the State's approval is automatically, without further action,
withdrawn, and the State will participate only in the original approved value. In the event
the State does not approve the Administrative Settlement Proposal, and the Local
Government elects to purchase the property at a value greater than the original approved
value, the State's participation in the purchase price will apply only to the original approved
value, and the Local Government will pay one hundred percent (100%) of the costs that
exceed the original approved value, even if the applicable county qualifies as an EDC.
9. Condemnation
Condemnation proceedings will be initiated at a time selected by the Local Government
and will be the Local Government's responsibility at its own expense except as follows.
The Local Government will obtain from the State without cost current title information and
engineering data at the time condemnation is to be initiated. Except as set forth elsewhere
in this agreement, the Local Government will concurrently file condemnation proceedings
and a notice of lis pendens for each case in the name of the State, and in each case the
judgment of the court will decree title and possession to the property condemned to the
State. The Local Government may, as set forth in Article 11 (Excess Takings) and where it
is determined to be necessary, enter condemnation proceedings in its own name. Property
acquired in the Local Government's name for the State must comply with requirements set
forth in the engineering data and title investigation previously furnished to the Local
Government by the State when the Local Government conveys the property to the State.
10. Court Costs, Costs of Special Commissioners' Hearings and Appraisal Expense
Court costs and costs of Special Commissioners' Hearings assessed against the State or
Local Government in condemnation proceedings conducted on behalf of the State and fees
incident to those hearings will be paid by the Local Government. Those costs and fees,
with the exception of recording fees, will be eligible for ninety percent (90%), or the

applicable EDC-adjusted percent, State reimbursement under the established
reimbursement procedure, provided that they are eligible for payment by the State under
existing law. Where the Local Government uses the State's appraisers employed on a fee
basis in Special Commissioners' Hearings or subsequent appeals, the cost of the appraiser
for updating the report, preparing new reports, preparing for court testimony, and appearing
in court to testify in support of the appraisal will be paid direct by the Local Government, but
will be eligible for ninety percent (90%), or the applicable EDC-adjusted percent, State
reimbursement under established procedure provided prior approval for the appraiser has
been obtained from the State. The fee paid to the appraiser by the Local Government shall
be in accordance with the fee schedule set forth in the appraiser's contract for appraisal
services with the State.
11. Excess Takings
In the event the Local Government desires to acquire land in excess of that requested by
the State for right of way purposes, the State's cost participation will be limited to the
property needed for its purposes. If the Local Government elects to acquire the entire
property, including the excess taking, by a single instrument of conveyance or in one
eminent domain proceeding, the property involved will be acquired in the name of the Local
Government and that portion requested by the State for right of way will be separately
conveyed to the State by the Local Government. When the property is acquired by
negotiation, the State's participation will be based on the State's approved value of that part
of the property requested for right of way purposes, provided that the approved value does
not exceed the actual payment made by the Local Government. When the property is
acquired by condemnation, the State's participation will be in the proportionate part of the
final judgment amount computed on the basis of the relationship of the State's approved
value to the State's predetermined value for the whole property.
12. Improvements
A. Property owners will be afforded an opportunity in the negotiations to retain any or all of
their improvements in the right of way taking. In anticipation of the owner's desiring to
retain improvements, the State's approved value will include the amounts by which the
upper limit of State participation will be reduced for the retention. It is further agreed
that the upper limit for the State's participation in the Local Government's cost for an
improved parcel will be reduced as shown in the State's approved value where the
owner retains an improvement that is to be moved by either the Local Government or
the owner. If improvements are, in whole or part, a part of the right of way taking and
are not retained by the owner, title is to be secured in the name of the State.
B. The State will participate in the acquisition of a structure severed by the right of way line
if the part of the house, building, or similar structure that lies outside the right of way
cannot be reconstructed adequately or there is nothing but salvage left, provided that
the State's value is established on this basis and provided that title to the entire
structure is taken in the name of the State. The State shall dispose of all improvements
acquired. The net revenue derived by the State from the disposition of any

improvements sold will be credited to the cost of the right of way procured and shared
with the Local Government.
13. Relocation of Utilities
If the required right of way encroaches on an existing utility located on its own right of way
and the proposed highway construction requires the adjustment, removal, or relocation of
the utility facility, the State will establish the necessity for the utility work. State participation
in the cost of making the necessary change, less any resulting increase in the value to the
utility and less any salvage value obtainable, may be obtained by either the "actual cost" or
"lump sum" procedures. Reimbursement under "actual cost" will be made subsequent to
the Local Government's certification that the work has been completed and will be made in
an amount equal to ninety percent (90%), or the applicable EDC-adjusted percent, of the
eligible items of cost as paid to the utility owner after the completion of an audit. The "lump
sum" procedure requires that the State establish the eligibility of the utility work and enter
into a three -party agreement with the owners of the utility facilities and the Local
Government. This agreement must set forth the exact lump sum amount of
reimbursement. The utility will be reimbursed by the Local Government after proper
certification by the utility that the work has been done, and the reimbursement will be based
on the prior lump sum agreement. The State will reimburse the Local Government in an
amount equal to ninety percent (90%), or the applicable EDC-adjusted percent, of the firm
commitment as paid to the utility owner. Reimbursement is subject to the provision that the
individual lump sum agreement approved value shall not exceed $20,000, except as
specifically approved by the State. In those cases where a single operation is estimated to
exceed $20,000, the transaction will be brought to the attention of the State for
determination of proper handling based upon the circumstances involved. The firm
commitment to the utility will be an appropriate item of right of way. The adjustment,
removal, or relocation of any utility line on publicly owned right of way by sufferance or
permit will not be eligible for State reimbursement. The term "utility" under this agreement
shall include publicly, privately, and cooperatively owned utilities.
14. Fencing Requirements
A. The Local Government may handle fencing through one of the following methods.
1. The Local Government may pay the property owner for existing right of way fences
based on the value those fences contribute to the part taken and damages for an
unfenced condition resulting from the right of way taking, in which case the estimated
value of those right of way fences and damages will be included in the recommended
value and the approved value; or
2. The Local Government may perform the fencing on the property owner's remaining
property.
B. When the Local Government performs right of way fencing as a part of the total right of
way consideration, neither the value of existing right of way fences nor damages for an
unfenced condition will be included in the recommended value or the approved value.
State participation in the Local Government's cost of constructing right of way fencing

on the property owner's remainder may be based on either the actual cost of the fencing
or on a predetermined lump sum amount. The State will be given credit for any
salvaged fencing material and will not participate in any overhead costs of the Local
Government.
C. If State participation is to be requested on the lump sum basis, the State and the Local
Government will reach an agreement prior to the actual accomplishment of the work as
to the necessity, eligibility, and a firm commitment as to the cost of the entire fencing
work to be performed. This is subject to the provision that the lump sum approved cost
shall not exceed $20,000, except as specifically approved by the State. In the event the
cost of the fencing is estimated to exceed $20,000, the transaction will be brought to the
attention of the State for determination of proper handling based on the circumstances
involved.
15. Basis for Reimbursement Calculation
A. The State will reimburse the Local Government for right of way acquired after the date
of this agreement in an amount not to exceed ninety percent (90%), or the applicable
EDC-adjusted percent, of the cost of the right of way acquired in accordance with the
terms and provisions of this agreement. The State's reimbursement will be in the
amount of ninety percent (90%), or the applicable EDC-adjusted percent, of the State's
predetermined value of each parcel, or the net cost of each parcel, whichever is less.
All requests by the Local Government for reimbursement shall comply with the then
current reimbursement submission requirements set forth in the Texas Department of
Transportation Right of Way Manual.
B. If condemnation is necessary and title is taken under Article 9 (Condemnation), the
participation by the State shall be based on the final judgment, conditioned on the State
having been notified in writing prior to the filing of the suit and on prompt notice being
given as to all action taken under the suit. The State shall have the right to become a
party to the suit at any time for all purposes, including the right of appeal at any stage of
the proceedings. All other items of cost shall be borne by the State and the Local
Government as provided in other sections of this agreement.
C. If a lump sum fencing or utility adjustment agreement has been executed, the State will
reimburse the Local Government in the amount of ninety percent (90%), or the
applicable EDC-adjusted percent, of the predetermined lump sum cost of the right of
way fencing or utility adjustment.
D. If the Local Government prefers not to execute a lump sum agreement for either fencing
or utility adjustments, the State will reimburse on the actual cost of that fencing or those
adjustments. The Local Government's request for reimbursement will be supported by
a breakdown of the labor, materials, and equipment used.
16. Amendments
Amendments to this agreement due to changes in the character of the work, terms of the
agreement, or responsibilities of the parties relating to the Project may be enacted through
a mutually agreed upon, written supplemental agreement.

Mayor and Council Communication
DATE: 04/09/24 M&C FILE NUMBER: M&C 24-0296
LOG NAME: 55FTW AIRPORT FRONTAGE IMPROVEMENTS ROW AGREEMENT
SUBJECT
(CD 2) Adopt Resolution Authorizing Execution of a Right of Way Agreement with the Texas Department of Transportation for the Airport Frontage
Improvements Project at Meacham International Airport in an Amount Up to $1,387,297.00, of which $1,387,297.00 is City Participation
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council adopt the attached resolution authorizing execution of a right of way agreement (ROW CSJ #0014-01-030)
with the Texas Department of Transportation in the amount up to $1,387,297.00, of which $1,387,297.00 is the required City participation for the
Airport Frontage Improvements Project at Meacham International Airport (City Project No. 100602).
DISCUSSION:
The purpose of this Mayor and Council Communication (M&C) is to adopt a resolution authorizing execution of a right of way (ROW)
agreement with the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) for the Airport Frontage Improvements project (Project) at Meacham International
Airport (Airport). This Project is located on Business US-287/North Main Street (North Main Street) along the frontage of the Airport, beginning at
Gate 1 on the northern side and continuing to North West (NW) 38th Street. This Project will include utility adjustments (burying electric delivery
lines along North Main Street), improving drainage infrastructure, upgrading lighting and landscaping, and creating a cleaner, more attractive entry
to the airport and its businesses.
On September 27, 2022 (M&C 22-0767) the City Council authorized the adoption of two advanced funding agreements (AFA) with TxDOT for the
Project. CSJ #0013-10-088 (CSJ #88) includes the area from Gate 1 to the Terminal Road intersection, and CSJ #0014-01-029 (CSJ #29)
includes the area from Terminal Road to NW 38th Street. The CSJ #88 AFA (City Secretary Contract (CSC) Number 58549) was approved and
executed by TxDOT with the utility costs included, however prior to approval of the CSJ #29 AFA, TxDOT requested the utility costs be removed
and put into a separate ROW agreement, which was to be executed in addition to the AFA. The CSJ #29 AFA was still executed (CSC Number
58897), just with the utilities removed. This ROW agreement is for the portion of the Project between NW 38th Street and Terminal Road (see
attached map).
The following table summarizes the ROW agreement and costs associated with this ROW agreement:
