Utility Relocation


2/35

INTRODUCTION

It is the Texas Department of Transportation’s (TxDOT) mission, through collaboration and

leadership, to deliver a safe, reliable and integrated transportation system that enables the

movement of people and goods.

The employees and leaders of TxDOT take our roles as public servants seriously. We know

that the public and the Texas Legislature have entrusted TxDOT with the state’s resources,

and we must use those resources in a responsible and efficient manner to meet the

following goals:

•

Deliver the Right Projects – Implement effective planning and forecasting processes

that deliver the right projects on-time and on-budget;

•

Focus on the Customer – People are at the center of everything we do;

• Foster Stewardship – Ensure efficient use of state resources;

• Optimize System Performance – Develop and operate an integrated transportation

system that provides reliable and accessible mobility, and enables economic growth;

•

Preserve our Assets – Deliver preventative maintenance for TxDOT’s system andcapital assets to protect our investments;

• Promote Safety – Champion a culture of safety; and

• Value our Employees – Respect and care for the well-being and development of our

employees.

UTILITY RELOCATION PROCEDURES AND POLICIES

Timely utility relocation with minimal disruption of utility services is an important part in thesuccessful delivery of transportation improvements to the citizens of Texas. TxDOT is

committed to continuing the dialogue with the utility industry and contractors to improve the

tilit l ti ti l l f j j t d id l i g T DOT’ g l

be a lengthy and complex process due to coordination efforts among many different entities.

These efforts require a partnership between TxDOT and the utility industry in order to

successfully move projects forward to the construction phase.

PROCEDURES FOR ACCOMMODATION

TxDOT’s utility relocation overarching philosophy includes:

• Avoidance of conflicts;

• Minimize impacts; and

• Relocate if necessary.

TxDOT contracts 900 to 1,000 highway projects annually, the majority of which do not haveutility conflicts or issues. Historically on average 20 percent of these projects have had

outstanding utility adjustments and 10 percent have outstanding right of way to purchase or

clear, at the time the construction contract is awarded. TxDOT obtains the expected

relocation clear dates from the utility, which then becomes a commitment from the utility for

relocation work to be completed by the specified date. Contract provisions are then added to

notify prospective highway construction contractors of the remaining utility relocations.

These provisions place the contractor on notice to work around known utility conflict areas

and include an expected clear date provided by the utility.

When a conflict is identified, TxDOT and the utility jointly evaluate various design options to

avoid the relocation of the utility. However, during the evaluation of design options it may be

determined that conflicts cannot be eliminated. In these cases, both the utility and TxDOT

will investigate options to minimize the impact of the conflict. Lastly, the utility will relocate

to eliminate the transportation improvement conflict. This procedure is routinely

accomplished prior to the construction phase of the project.

delays. The third point considers delays by the utility to relocate and perform their work,

which causes late clearances for the TxDOT contractor. During Fiscal Year (FY) 2013, FY

2014 and FY 2015, TxDOT has paid highway contractors over $21.9 million in additional

costs and delay claims due to untimely utility relocations. During this same period, the time

delays caused prolonged safety risks for approximately 10,432 days for construction workers

and the traveling public.

FIGURE 1: CURRENT PROJECT DEVELOPMENT PROCESS

The majority of utility relocation conflicts occur in the metropolitan areas of Texas, with the

exception to Beaumont, Lufkin and Waco TxDOT districts. Metropolitan areas have a larger

volume of construction work impacting more utilities in congested right of way corridors. The

Beaumont, Lufkin and Waco TxDOT districts have had significant reconstruction projects onIH 10, US 59 and IH 35 corridors. (See Appendix A for a complete list of transportation

projects impacted by additional costs and delays associated with utility relocations.)


5/35

Texas Transportation Code, §203.094(b) states that TxDOT may reduce the reimbursement

to the utility by 10 percent for each 30-day period or portion of a 30-day period by which the

relocation exceeds the limit specified in the relocation agreement. If TxDOT determines that

a delay in relocation is the result of circumstances beyond the control of the utility, full

reimbursement shall be paid. Unfortunately, this remedy requires a utility agreement to be

executed and in many cases the untimely utility does not sign a utility agreement until their

schedule is more certain considering procurement of manufactured materials and labour for

installation. Oftentimes, multiple utilities are untimely making it difficult for TxDOT to reduce

reimbursements to the utility implement.

On average, reimbursements total approximately $100 million per year on TxDOT projects.The process involves a public utility determining reimbursement eligibility in partnership with

TxDOT, performing the relocation activity and then submitting invoices to TxDOT for payment.

NON REIMBURSABLE UTILITIES

Non-reimbursable utilities are authorized for relocation by a permit issued by TxDOT. The

permit sets forth the utility’s timeline for relocation.

UTILITY INDUSTRY WORKSHOPS

In an effort to make the utility relocation process TxDOT hosted a series of Utility Industry

Workshops during the Fall of 2015 and Spring of 2016. The workshops were well attended

by utilities and respective associations. Over the course of the workshops discussions were

focused on the issues of construction delays and additional costs to our customers. Open

communication and early engagement of utilities in the transportation project development

process was also emphasized.

During the workshops TxDOT staff discussed best practices which included monthly utility

coordination meetings for the metropolitan areas of the state and certain TxDOT districts

manage construction delays and additional costs.

Mid-term improvements in procedures and processes will include TxDOT minimizing the

number of projects going to construction without clear right of way and utility relocations. As

previously stated, 20 percent of projects have had outstanding utility adjustments and 10

percent have outstanding right of way to purchase or clear, at the time the construction

contract is awarded. This practice has exasperated timeliness of utility relocations and is

within TxDOT’s control assuming there is industry cooperation. Better collaboration is

paramount to success of the proposed model.

The proposed procedures on major transportation projects include the acquiring of ROW twoyears prior to construction (Figure 2). This two-year period allows TxDOT designers to

complete detailed construction plans while utilities begin their relocation efforts. Projects

clear of ROW and utilities provides contractors unobstructed access to the project with a

more efficient and streamlined sequencing of work. In this model, construction time will

improve and minimize work zone risks for the traveling public and construction workers.

An additional benefit of this proposed model is to allow more A+B bidding on major transportation projects. Traditionally projects are contracted with simply the A component

which is the bid items of work. A+B bidding allows time to be bid thereby encouraging the

contractors to bid construction duration. Following this model, the project is awarded to the

contractor with the lowest aggregate bid of work items plus shortest construction duration.

Implementation of this model will not occur rapidly due to letting obligations already

underway. Therefore, this method of improving coordination and timeliness of utilityrelocations is a mid-term action item. However, TxDOT can immediately begin to incorporate

this model into our business practices and performance measures.

counterparts in the utility industry. The training also includes an implementation monitoring

phase for the major metropolitan districts to ensure TxDOT’s largest and busiest districts are

implementing the strategies taught. Training will begin in June of 2016 in the Austin District.

Additionally, TxDOT district engineers have been given the authority to execute utility

agreements within their respective districts. Previously, signature authority for utility

agreements rested with the TxDOT Right of Way Division Director. Moving signature authority

to the district engineers will maximize local control over the transportation project and

expedite utility agreements.

Lastly, TxDOT is in the process of developing a master agreement for use with recurringutility companies that states the relocation and accommodation process. The master

agreements will guarantee that once the utility is given a notice to proceed on a particular

project, TxDOT will pay for any costs associated with highway design changes that cause the

utility to change its relocation plans. A smaller supplemental agreement with the technical

aspects would then be entered into on a project-by-project basis. This simplifies the

agreement process and allows utilities to start their process upon a notice to proceed from

TxDOT.

FIGURE 2: PROPOSED PROJECT DEVELOPMENT PROCESS


8/35

TxDOT does have the authority to make loans to utilities from the State Infrastructure Banks

(SIB). The SIB was authorized in 1995, as part of the National Highway Designation Act to

help accelerate needed mobility improvements through a variety of financial assistance

options made to local entities through state transportation departments. Texas was chosen

as one of the 10 states to test the pilot program and the Texas Legislature authorized TxDOT

to administer the SIB program in 1997. The overall goal of the SIB program is to provide

innovative financing methods to communities to assist them in meeting their infrastructure

needs. The SIB program allows borrowers to access capital funds at market interest rates

with favourable terms. This has been advantageous to smaller utilities and municipalities

who may have capital difficulty to relocate their facilities.

TxDOT continues to be willing to include utility relocations in our transportation contracts.

This is fairly common in our metropolitan areas with water, wastewater and communication

utilities. Specifications for each utility must be prepared and included in the contract for

bidding purposes. TxDOT encourages this type of partnering because it places control of the

utility relocation process largely in the prime contractor’s responsibility. Additionally, many

prime contractors will subcontract the utility relocation work to the same companies

performing the work for the utility owner.

Texas Transportation Code, §203.0935(e) provides TxDOT with the authority to relocate an

uncooperative utility after due diligence and proper notice is provided to the utility. It is

possible to seek restitution for TxDOT expenses through legal means. TxDOT may request

the Office of Attorney General to seek an injunction requiring the utility company to relocate

its property, if the utility fails to cooperate in a timely relocation. This legal remedy takes

time to resolve and is rarely used in normal practice as TxDOT uses every opportunity toresolve these differences.

expedite the relocation work while transportation improvements begin. Doing so allows a

more overall coordinated effort by the TxDOT contractor delivering transportation

improvements sooner to our customers.
