May 20, 2024 Economic Development Corp. (Type A)

[00:00:01]

ON THE ON THE TABLE HERE AND WE HAVE A QUORUM PRESENT.

[1.CALL TO ORDER]

FIRST ITEM ON OUR AGENDA IS CITIZEN APPEARANCES.

SINCE WE ONLY HAVE BETH AND JUSTIN HERE THAT ARE NOT A PART OF THE MACHINE.

I SUPPOSE IF EITHER ONE OF Y'ALL WANT TO ADDRESS IT, FEEL FREE.

BUT OTHER THAN THAT IF ANYONE ELSE HEARS US ANYWHERE WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK, THIS IS YOUR TIME.

AND I SEE NO SUCH REQUEST.

SO WE'LL MOVE ON TO THREE, WHICH IS BEGINNING WITH ITEM 3A TO CONSIDER APPROVAL OF THE MINUTES FROM MARCH 18TH, 2020 FOR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION

[3.A.Consider approval of the minutes from the March 18, 2024 Economic Development Corporation (Type A) meeting. (Staff Contact: Amanda Campos, City Secretary)]

IF YOU HAVE A MINUTE TO PERUSE THEM, I'LL TAKE A MOTION ON APPROVAL OR DENIAL.

DON'T EVERYBODY SPEAK AT ONCE.

I'LL MOVE TO APPROVE.

OKAY. MOTION BY ADAM.

SECOND BY PHIL TO APPROVE.

ALL THOSE IN FAVOR? MOTION PASSES BY UNANIMOUS VOTE.

NEXT UP IS THREE B, TO CONSIDER APPROVAL OF RESOLUTION 4A05202024 WEST SIDE LIFT FOR PARTIAL FUNDING

[3.B.Consider approval of resolution 4A05202024 WestSideLift for partial funding in the amount of $2,800,000.00 for the total project cost ($7,802,299.00) to construct the Burleson Westside Lift Station, Force Main, and Gravity Sewer. (Staff Contact: Michelle McCullough, Assistant Director/City Engineer)]

TO CONSTRUCT THE BURLESON WEST SIDE LIFT STATION, FORCE MAIN AND GRAVITY SEWER.

THIS WILL BE PRESENTED BY MICHELLE MCCULLOUGH, ASSISTANT DIRECTOR OF CITY ENGINEER.

GOOD AFTERNOON.

HOPE YOU ALL HAD A GOOD WEEKEND.

AS YOU MENTIONED MY NAME IS MICHELLE MCCULLOUGH, ASSISTANT DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS, MAINLY OVER DEVELOPMENT.

I'M HERE TO TALK ABOUT THE COMPETITIVE SEALED PROPOSAL AND RECOMMENDATION OF THE BURLESON WEST SIDE LIFT STATION, FORCE MAIN AND GRAVITY SEWER PROJECT.

I KNOW YOU GUYS ARE A LITTLE BIT FAMILIAR WITH THIS, BUT A LITTLE BIT OF BACKGROUND.

JUNE 7TH, 2021 THE CHAPTER 380 ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT WAS APPROVED.

AND CURRENTLY THE AGREEMENT DOES STATE THAT THE LIFT STATION FORCE MAIN 21 INCH GRAVITY SEWER.

LAKEWOOD DRIVE WOULD BE DESIGNED AND CONSTRUCTED BY RA DEVELOPMENT.

LAKEWOOD DRIVE IS CURRENTLY UNDER CONSTRUCTION, AND I BELIEVE WE ARE GETTING READY TO OPEN UP THE SECTION BETWEEN 1020 AND 1016, HOPEFULLY BY EITHER THIS WEEK OR NEXT WEEK.

AND SO THOSE FOUR LANES ARE ANTICIPATED TO BE OPEN.

BUT WE WILL ALSO BE SHUTTING DOWN ONE LANE FROM TIME TO TIME FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE FORCE MAIN ALONGSIDE OF IT.

WE DO ANTICIPATE THE TXDOT PERMIT EARLY SEPTEMBER.

WE DID MEET WITH TXDOT.

WE GOT THE SCOPE FOR THE ENVIRONMENTAL.

SO WE ARE MOVING ON THAT.

AND THEN THE PERMANENT EXTENSION OF LAKEWOOD DRIVE IS UNDER DESIGN.

CONSTRUCTION FUNDING HAS NOT BEEN IDENTIFIED, BUT WE ARE WORKING ON STEPS WITH TXDOT AND COG.

FOR SOME FUNDING, HOPEFULLY TO CONSTRUCT THAT IN THE NEXT SEVERAL YEARS.

SO JUST A RECAP OF THE HOOPER BUSINESS PARK INFRASTRUCTURE.

STORMWATER RETENTION DESIGN IS UNDERWAY.

WE STILL ANTICIPATE TO AWARD AND START CONSTRUCTION SUMMER OF 2024.

THE 20 INCH JCSUD WATER LINE IS SUBSTANTIALLY COMPLETE.

ATMOS, IF YOU RECALL, A EASEMENT WAS APPROVED FOR THE REGULATOR STATION, AND SO THAT IS MOVING FORWARD.

I BELIEVE CONSTRUCTION HAS BEGUN DOWN ON 917 GOING NORTH ON FM 1902.

THE ELECTRIC LINES HAVE BEEN BURIED BETWEEN COUNTY ROAD 1016 AND 1020, AND STREET LIGHTS ARE CURRENTLY BEING INSTALLED.

AND THEN THE REST OF THE ELECTRIC WILL FOLLOW BETWEEN 1020 AND FM OR SORRY, 1016 AND FM 1902.

AND AGAIN, JUST A MAP, A LITTLE EXHIBIT SHOWING WHERE EVERYTHING IS LOCATED.

HERE IS THE LIFT STATION SITE.

THIS IS THE FORCE MAIN, AND THERE'S ALSO THE 20 INCH WATER LINE THAT COMES DOWN ALONGSIDE THE PROPERTY LINE.

AND WHAT YOU'RE SEEING IS, OF COURSE, THE LIFT STATION OR, SORRY, THE DETENTION SCHEMATIC COUPLE PAD SITES, AND THEN THE GRAVITY MAIN THAT WILL SERVE THE BUSINESS PARK AND CHISHOLM SUMMIT IS WILL COME UP AND ENTER THE LIFT STATION FROM THE SOUTHWEST.

SO WE APPROACHED THIS ONE A LITTLE DIFFERENTLY WITH A COMPETITIVE SEALED METHOD.

THIS IS A FAIRLY LARGE LIFT STATION.

WE DO NOT HAVE ONE THIS SIZE IN THE CITY.

IT'S PRETTY TECHNICAL, LITTLE INTRICATE.

SO WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT THE CONTRACTOR THAT WAS SELECTED DOES HAVE THE EXPERIENCE FOR IT.

[00:05:01]

BUT THERE WAS A CLEAR FRONT RUNNER.

SO THE ORIGINAL COMPETITIVE SEAL PROPOSAL WAS INITIATED ON FEBRUARY 19TH.

THE PROPOSALS WERE PUBLICLY RECEIVED MARCH 25TH AND THEN APRIL 2ND AREA DEVELOPMENT AND CITY MANAGEMENT MET TO DISCUSS THE CONTRACT ADMINISTRATION, AND IT WAS AGREED THAT THE CITY WOULD TAKE THIS ONE OVER AND THAT WE WOULD REJECT ALL PROPOSALS AND THEN RE-ADVERTISE.

AND THEN YOU WILL, AT A LATER DATE SEE A 380 AMENDMENT.

SO THE RE-ADVERTISED COMPETITIVE SEAL PROPOSAL, THE ADVERTISE IT WAS ADVERTISED ON APRIL 19TH.

WE OPENED THEM MAY 3RD.

TONIGHT WE ARE HERE TO RECOMMEND AWARDING TO MOUNTAIN CASCADE OF TEXAS, LLC FOR A TOTAL CONTRACT AMOUNT OF $7.8 MILLION, WITH 2.8 COMPRISING OF FOUR A BONDS AND 5.8 COMPRISING OF WATER WASTEWATER.

THE NOTICE TO PROCEED, IF AWARDED, IS ANTICIPATED TO BE ISSUED EARLY JUNE.

COMPLETION OR JULY 2025.

SO THE ACTION REQUESTED IS TO APPROVE A RESOLUTION FOR PARTIAL FUNDING IN THE AMOUNT OF $2.8 MILLION TO CONSTRUCT THE BURLESON WEST LIFT STATION, FORCE MAIN AND GRAVITY SEWER PROJECT. AND THEN LISTED ON THE SCREEN ARE THE NEXT STEPS.

IF APPROVED TONIGHT, NOTICE TO PROCEED WOULD BE ISSUED EARLY JUNE.

CONSTRUCTION OF THE 21 INCH GRAVITY SEWER WOULD BEGIN FIRST, IN ORDER TO ALLOW FOR PAVING OF THE SECTION BETWEEN 1020 AND 914 A.

WE RECENTLY PATCHED A LOT OF THE POTHOLES THERE BECAUSE IT WAS GETTING PRETTY BAD.

SO THIS WOULD BASICALLY MILL AND OVERLAY THAT SECTION, AND THEN THE LIFT STATION FORCE MAIN AND REMAINING GRAVITY SEWER IS ANTICIPATED AGAIN TO BE COMPLETED JULY 2025. AND I AM HERE FOR ANY QUESTIONS.

GO BACK TO THAT LAST SLIDE.

WHAT? WHICH SECTION OF COUNTY ROAD 914 A? SO 914 BETWEEN 1020 AND 914 A SO I DON'T LET ME SEE IF I HAVE A MAP.

OH, I SKIPPED A SLIDE.

NO, I DIDN'T SEE. WHAT I DIDN'T MENTION IS THE FOUR.

WE HAD FOUR PROPOSALS SUBMITTED.

OKAY. LET'S SEE IF I HAVE.

I DON'T BELIEVE I HAVE.

OH, THERE WE GO. SO 914 A IS RIGHT HERE.

OKAY. AND 1020.

SO THE POTHOLES WERE GETTING PRETTY BAD ALONG THIS STRETCH.

WE HAVE GONE OUT THERE AND PATCHED THOSE RECENTLY TO GET US BY.

BUT THAT IS ONE OF THE REASONS WHY WE WANTED THE 21 INCH.

IT'S GOING TO BE CONSTRUCTED IN THE NORTHWEST BOUND LANE IN THE MIDDLE.

OKAY, SO THAT'S GOING NORTHWEST FROM THE INTERSECTION WHERE THE PREVIOUS SEWER GRAVITY SEWER PROJECT STOPPED.

CORRECT. THERE'S A MANHOLE RIGHT THERE AT THE INTERSECTION OF 914 AND 914 A THAT WILL TIE INTO AND THEN GO NORTHWEST UP BYPASS.

1020 AND THEN WE WILL GET OFF INTO THE PARKWAY.

OKAY. AND THAT'S HOW BIG A LINE.

IT'S A 21 INCH GRAVITY.

AND THEN IT GOES DOWN TO A 16 INCH FORCE MAIN.

SO WE'LL HAVE ANOTHER MANHOLE ALONG THAT STRETCH THAT THE 16 INCH WILL DUMP INTO.

ALL RIGHT. ANYBODY ELSE QUESTIONS? ALL RIGHT. YOU GOT ONE.

OKAY. I'VE GOT A QUESTION HERE JUST AS SOON AS I GET TO IT.

IT'S MORE OF AN EDUCATIONAL QUESTION.

IT WAS ON THE PROJECT CRITERIA.

THE PROPOSAL PRICE 40 POINTS, 15 POINTS 20, 20 AND FIVE.

SINCE I'M NOT IN THAT BUSINESS, I DON'T UNDERSTAND IT.

DON'T PRETEND TO UNDERSTAND WHAT ANY OF THOSE MEAN.

BUT DO THE PEOPLE THAT QUALIFY FOR THE RFP, DO THEY HAVE TO MEET THAT, OR DO WE PICK THE ONE THAT'S CLOSEST TO IT? SO THERE WAS CRITERIA.

SO COST IS A SEPARATE.

IT'S THE ONE WITH THE LOWEST COST GAIN THE HIGH OR WAS ASSIGNED THE HIGHEST SCORE.

AND THEN FROM THERE IT WAS A PERCENTAGE FOR THE OTHER THREE.

SO THE EXPERIENCE AND REPUTATION, WHAT THEY HAD TO DO IS SUBMIT RESUMES AND THEY HAD TO SUBMIT CURRENT PROJECTS, PAST PROJECTS THAT WERE SUBMITTED.

WERE THEY IN BUDGET, NOT IN BUDGET.

PROJECT APPROACH, HOW WOULD THEY APPROACH THIS PROJECT IN ORDER TO GET IT COMPLETED IN 365 DAYS? AND SO EACH OF US ON THE EVALUATION TEAM, READ THE PROPOSALS INDEPENDENTLY AND SCORED THEM BASED ON WHAT THEY

[00:10:10]

OKAY. AND MOUNTAIN CASCADE OF TEXAS CAME THE CLOSEST.

THEY CAME CLOSEST AT 88 POINTS.

BELT CONSTRUCTION CAME IN SECOND.

AND THEN OF COURSE, WESTERN MUNICIPAL AND BLUE STAR.

OKAY. ALL RIGHT.

THAT'S WHAT I NEED TO KNOW. OKAY.

I DID WANT TO COMMENT THAT I'VE LONG BEEN AN ADVOCATE OF THE CITY CHOOSING THIS, THE COMPETITIVE SEAL PROPOSAL METHOD FOR AWARDING MAJOR CONTRACTS, JUST SIMPLY BECAUSE WE'VE HAD SOME PRETTY SOUR EXPERIENCES IN THE PAST WHEN WE'VE HAD TO ACCEPT THE LOWEST BID FOR A PROJECT.

IT'S VERY DIFFICULT TO IT'S VERY DIFFICULT TO REJECT A LOW BID BECAUSE TYPICALLY THE BURDEN OF PROOF IS ON THE CITY TO PROVE THAT THAT LOW BIDDER IS NOT QUALIFIED.

IT'S VERY DIFFICULT TO PROVE THAT THEY'RE NOT QUALIFIED IF THEY'RE ACTUALLY IN BUSINESS, CAN GET A BOND, CAN SHOW A FINANCIAL STATEMENT, EVEN IF IT'S AN OPENING STATEMENT.

BUT NONE OF US HAD WE THE CHOICE TO MAKE INDIVIDUALLY WOULD CHOOSE TO AWARD A MAJOR CONTRACT TO SOMEONE HAD NEVER DONE ANYTHING LIKE IT BEFORE.

BUT THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO WILL BID PROJECTS THAT THEY HAVE NEVER DONE BEFORE.

THE CSP IS JUST A GREAT WAY FOR THE CITY TO CUSHION ITSELF AGAINST THE OBLIGATION OF AWARDING A CONTRACTOR WHO HAS A SKETCHY REPUTATION OR NO REPUTATION AT ALL, ESPECIALLY ON A VERY TECHNICAL, LARGE, DIFFICULT PROJECT.

WE'RE EXPERIENCE AND BACKGROUND MATTERS MORE THAN YOU CAN IMAGINE.

SO I HOPE WE DO MORE AND MORE PROJECT SUBMISSIONS THIS WAY.

AND THE GOOD CONTRACTORS LIKE IT.

IT'S STILL VERY POSSIBLE FOR A NEW CONTRACTOR IF HE CAN SHOW PERSONAL EXPERIENCE IN THE PAST AND WORKING UNDER OTHER COMPANIES, IT DOESN'T NECESSARILY KEEP PEOPLE START UP COMPANIES FROM BEING ABLE TO ENTER THE MARKET, BUT THEY HAVE TO SHOW THAT SOMEBODY CONNECTED TO THAT ORGANIZATION KNOWS HOW TO DO THE WORK AND DO IT WELL AND AND PROVE IT. SO IT'S AS IT SHOULD BE.

AND I'M GLAD TO SEE THAT WE'VE GONE THIS WAY.

ALL RIGHT. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? ALL RIGHT. READY FOR A MOTION? I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE.

I'LL SECOND. OKAY I HAVE A MOTION BY SCOTT, SECONDED BY RUSSELL TO APPROVE ALL THOSE IN FAVOR.

AND THAT MOTION PASSES BY UNANIMOUS VOTE.

ALL RIGHT, NEXT UP ON OUR AGENDA TONIGHT IS ITEM THREE C, TO CONSIDER APPROVAL OF RESOLUTION 4A05

[3.C.Consider approval of resolution 4A05202024LakewoodLandscape, authorizing the reimbursement of R.A. Development, Ltd., for costs associated with design of landscaping and irrigation for Lakewood Drive pursuant to an existing Chapter 380 and Economic Development and Performance Agreement in the amount of $90,000. (Staff Contact: Eric Oscarson, Deputy City Manager)]

IN KEEPING WITH THE CHISHOLM SUMMIT DISCUSSION, TONIGHT, BEFORE YOU IS A RESOLUTION FOR REIMBURSEMENT TO RA FOR LAKEWOOD DRIVE LANDSCAPE DESIGN.

SO JUST AS A REMINDER, AS PART OF THE 380 AGREEMENT, RA IS THE PROJECT MANAGER FOR THE ROAD CONSTRUCTION PROJECT.

AS WE KNOW, LAKEWOOD IS UNDER CONSTRUCTION, AND WE'RE MOVING ALONG PRETTY WELL.

INCLUDED IN THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE ROADWAY DOES INCLUDE LANDSCAPING AND IRRIGATION DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION.

AND SO THE 4A ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION IS AUTHORIZED TO AUTHORIZE THAT REIMBURSEMENT.

SO, AS WE KNOW, LAKEWOOD DRIVE IS A FOUR LANE DIVIDED ROADWAY.

IT HAS TEN FOOT SHARED PATHS WITHIN THE PARKWAY ON BOTH SIDES, WHICH ALLOWS FOR LANDSCAPING AND THE MEDIAN AND ALONG THE PARKWAY.

BACK ON NOVEMBER 13TH STAFF BROUGHT FORWARD THREE CONCEPTS FOR CONSTRUCTION OF THE DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION OF THE LANDSCAPING.

WITH DIFFERENT VARYING TOTAL COSTS FOR CONSTRUCTION AND MAINTENANCE.

BASED ON THAT FEEDBACK, WE HEARD A COMBINATION OF THINGS FROM COUNCIL WAS FOR A MORE IN DEPTH LANDSCAPING COMING OFF OF 1902 THROUGH THE ROUNDABOUT AND THEN TAPERING DOWN TO LESS OF SOME LANDSCAPING.

AS WE GOT AWAY FROM THE MAJOR CORRIDORS, WE HIT HEADED TOWARDS TEN, 1016, I'M SORRY.

1020. AND SO BASED ON THAT FEEDBACK STAFF WORKED WITH RA DEVELOPMENT AND A LANDSCAPE ARCHITECT TO GET A SCOPE AND FEE FOR THE DESIGN OF THAT LANDSCAPING.

AND THAT'S $90,000.

THIS IS A QUICK BREAKDOWN OF THE $25 MILLION WE HAVE SET ASIDE FOR THE LAKEWOOD DRIVE PROJECT.

WE'VE TALKED THROUGH PEDESTRIAN LIGHTING.

WE KNOW THAT PEDESTRIAN OVERHEAD ELECTRIC LOOKS LIKE IT'S GOING TO BE UNDER BUDGET.

LANDSCAPE PARKWAY LOOKS LIKE, WITH DESIGN.

[00:15:02]

AND SO TONIGHT, WE'RE REQUESTING A RESOLUTION TO AUTHORIZE THE REIMBURSEMENT RA4 FOR THE LANDSCAPING AND IRRIGATION DESIGN IN THE AMOUNT OF $90,000.

AND I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.

QUESTIONS? OKAY.

I HAVE NONE. SOUNDS LIKE IT'S COUNCIL'S DIRECTIONS BEING FOLLOWED VERY CAREFULLY, AND THAT'S A GOOD THING.

READY FOR A MOTION? I'LL SECOND.

AH MOTION BY PHIL.

SECOND BY ADAM TO APPROVE, THOSE IN FAVOR.

AND THAT MOTION PASSES BY A UNANIMOUS VOTE.

NEXT UP TONIGHT IS ITEM THREE D, TO CONSIDER APPROVAL OF RESOLUTION 4A05 202024 BLACK ROCK

[3.D.Consider approval of resolution 4A05202024BlackRockCoffee, authorizing a Performance Agreement between the Burleson 4A Economic Development Corporation and C&C Burleson, LLC for the design and construction of the modification of an existing hooded left turn lane along SW Wilshire Blvd. (Staff Contact: Michelle McCullough, Assistant Director of Public Works/City Engineer)]

THIS WILL BE PRESENTED BY MICHELLE MCCULLOUGH.

GOOD AFTERNOON. MICHELLE MCCULLOUGH, ASSISTANT DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS.

AND AS MENTIONED, I'M HERE TO TALK ABOUT A PERFORMANCE AGREEMENT FOR THE OLD CHINA KING SITE.

WE LIKE TO REFER TO IT AS BLACK ROCK COFFEE, BUT THERE IS GOING TO BE ANOTHER QUICK SERVE RESTAURANT.

POTENTIAL DENTIST OFFICE AS WELL.

A LITTLE BIT OF BACKGROUND HERE.

OCTOBER 2ND AND I KIND OF HAVE THESE DATES A LITTLE LITTLE OUT OF ORDER, BUT OCTOBER 2ND ANOTHER 4A ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT WAS APPROVED.

CITY COUNCIL DID RATIFY THE 4A'S, 4A ACTION.

AND IT DOES INCLUDE THE REIMBURSEMENT COSTS RELATED TO THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE RIGHT TURN LANE INTO THE DEVELOPMENT.

SO JUNE 19TH, PRIOR TO THE AGREEMENT, THE SITE PLAN WAS ADMINISTRATIVELY APPROVED.

AND THEN NOVEMBER 3RD, 2023, THE NOTICE TO PROCEED WAS ISSUED FOR THE PUBLIC INFRASTRUCTURE.

AND IF YOU'VE DRIVEN BY THEN I BELIEVE THEY HAVE GONE VERTICAL NOW.

SO THERE ARE MULTIPLE DRIVEWAY CONNECTIONS WITH FEW DEDICATED RIGHT TURN LANES ON WILSHIRE.

ADDING RIGHT TURN LANES DOES LOWER.

WELL, IT DOESN'T LOWER SAFETY.

IT RAISES SAFETY.

SORRY ABOUT THAT.

IT RAISES SAFETY, BUT IT DOES AND THE LEVEL OF SERVICE, WELL, THAT'S A LITTLE MISTAKE THERE.

AND SO WHEN DEVELOPMENTS DO COME IN ALONG 174, WE DO TAKE THE OPPORTUNITY TO TAKE A LOOK AT IT AND SEE HOW CAN WE PARTNER WITH THE DEVELOPER, HOW HOW CAN WE CONSOLIDATE, REMOVE OR IMPROVE EXISTING DRIVEWAYS.

TXDOT DOES WORK WITH US.

ALSO, ANYTIME WE CAN REMOVE DRIVEWAYS AND INCREASE SAFETY OR ADD RIGHT TURN LANES, THEY'RE ALL FOR IT.

AND I GOT IT RIGHT ON THE SMALL BULLET.

IT DOES INCREASE SAFETY AND LEVEL OF SERVICE THERE.

SO THE FORMER, A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE FORMER CHINA KING SITE.

THE EXISTING DRIVEWAY IDENTIFIED FOR REMOVAL IS NOT REQUIRED BY TXDOT.

SO WHEN WE MET WITH THEM, WE TOOK A LOOK AT IT TO SEE WHAT WE COULD DO IF THERE WAS ANYTHING.

WHAT WE DISCOVERED IS THAT THE YELLOW ARROW IS AN EXISTING SHARED ACCESS EASEMENT THAT SERVES BOTH PROPERTIES.

SO THAT WORKED OUT GREAT.

AND SO WE SET ABOUT TALKING TO THE DEVELOPER ABOUT PARTNERING AND REMOVING THAT SOUTHERN DRIVEWAY.

BUT IN ORDER TO DO THAT, THE HOODED LEFT TODAY COMES TO THIS DRIVEWAY.

SO WE NEED TO PULL THAT BACK IN ORDER TO MAKE IT TO THE SHARED ACCESS DRIVE.

TXDOT DID REQUIRE THE RIGHT TURN LANE, AND SO WHAT WE HAVE TALKED WITH THE DEVELOPER AND WHAT TXDOT HAS AGREED IS WHILE WE WORK THROUGH ALL OF THIS, THEY CAN GO AHEAD AND CONSTRUCT THE RIGHT TURN LANE, LEAVE THAT DRIVE IN THERE FOR NOW AS A TEMPORARY DRIVEWAY, BUT IT WILL HAVE TO BE REMOVED WHEN THE HOODED LEFT IS MODIFIED IF APPROVED. AND SO THE PROPOSED IMPROVEMENTS ARE SHOWN IN THE SCHEMATIC HERE.

REMOVAL OF THE EXISTING SOUTH DRIVEWAY.

MODIFICATION OF THE HOODED LEFT TO PULL IT BACK TO THE EXISTING SHARED DRIVEWAY.

THE LEVEL OF SERVICE WILL BE INCREASED ALONG THIS PORTION OF THE ROADWAY.

THE RIGHT TURN LANE WILL ALLOW VEHICLES TO GET OFF OF THE ROAD FROM THE MAIN LANES, ALLOWING VEHICLES JUST TO CONTINUE THROUGH WITHOUT SLOWING DOWN.

AND IT ALSO REMOVES ONE DRIVEWAY, LIMITING ACCESS POINTS AGAIN WHERE VEHICLES SLOW DOWN AND TURN INTO THE SITE.

THE TOTAL ESTIMATED COST FOR THE CONSTRUCTION AND DESIGN IS 409,596.

AND SO THE COUNCIL, OH, THAT'S WRONG TOO.

SORRY ABOUT THAT.

THE ACTION REQUESTED TONIGHT IS TO APPROVE A PERFORMANCE AGREEMENT WITH CNC, LLC FOR THE DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION OF THE MODIFICATION OF A HOODED LEFT ALONG SOUTHWEST

[00:20:02]

IS THAT GOING TO BE REPLACED WITH LANDSCAPING, CONSISTENT WITH WHAT WE HAVE? SO THEY DO HAVE.

WELL, NOT ALONG THE YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT IN THE? IN THE MEDIAN. YES.

THAT IS INCLUDED.

SO WE'RE LOSING LANDSCAPING AREA WHERE WE'RE BACKING ALL OF THE STUFF.

I'M REALLY SURPRISED THAT THEY THINK THEY NEED THAT MUCH STORAGE.

DID ANYONE EVER DISCUSS THE POSSIBILITY THAT THEY DON'T? WELL, WE DID, BUT THEY HAVE CRITERIA AND YOU WOULD HAVE TO GET A VARIANCE FOR IT.

AND TXDOT IS NOT ONE TO ISSUE VARIANCES.

I UNDERSTAND THAT, BUT IT LOOKS LIKE THEY HAVE ENOUGH STORAGE IN THAT TURN LANE TO PARK JUST ABOUT EVERY CAR AND ALL THE PARKING SPACES THAT THAT OR HALF OF THEM ANYWAY.

YEAH, THE ORIGINAL SCHEMATIC THAT WE SUBMITTED TO THEM, WE WERE JUST SHY OF THE FOOTAGE, BUT THEY WOULDN'T ALLOW US.

SO WE HAD TO GO AHEAD AND MODIFY THE REST OF IT.

QUESTIONS ANYONE.

TXDOT IS REQUIRING AS PART OF THE DEVELOPMENT.

YES. THE REMOVAL OF THE DRIVEWAY AND THE MODIFICATION OF THE HOODED LEFT IS NOT REQUIRED BY TXDOT.

THAT WAS SOMETHING THAT, YOU KNOW, WE IDENTIFIED WAS A POSSIBILITY TO HELP WITH NEW TRAFFIC ALONG 174.

BUT ONCE THE HOODED LEFT IS ALTERED, THEN THAT DRIVEWAY HAS TO CLOSE IT.

YES, IT IS PART.

IT WILL BE PART OF THE PERMIT THAT IT HAS TO BE REMOVED.

OKAY? IT HAS TO BE REMOVED.

YES AND YES.

AND SO YOU'LL SEE.

OKAY. THERE ARE PARKING SPACES HERE.

NO GOOD POURED. OKAY.

IT IS A LONG, SLOW AND TEDIOUS PROCESS TO MODIFY A HIGHWAY LIKE WILSHIRE TO, TO CUT DOWN ON THE NUMBER OF ENTRANCES, ENTRANCES AND EXITS.

BUT THESE ARE WHAT CAUSE ACCIDENTS.

AND THESE ARE WHAT SLOW TRAFFIC DOWN.

IF THEY CAN BE CONSOLIDATED.

AND ALL THESE SLOW MOVEMENTS TAKE PLACE OUTSIDE OF THE DRIVING LANES, THEN WE ALL BENEFIT.

BUT IT'S WE'VE BEEN TRYING EVERY OPPORTUNITY WE'VE HAD FOR THE PAST 16 YEARS THAT I KNOW OF TO TRY TO DO THIS AT ANY OPPORTUNITY.

AND WE MAY NEVER GET THEM ALL, BUT IT WOULD HELP.

WE'RE TRYING. EVERY TIME ONE COMES IN, WE TRY.

I KNOW YOU ALL DO. AND IT'S GOOD TO SEE THAT YOU DO.

ALL RIGHT. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR READY FOR A MOTION? I'LL MOVE TO APPROVE.

I'LL SECOND THE MOTION.

I HAVE A MOTION BY ADAM.

A SECOND BY LARRY TO APPROVE.

ALL THOSE IN FAVOR.

AND THAT MOTION PASSES WITH UNANIMOUS VOTE.

NEXT ON OUR AGENDA IS ITEM FOUR, WHICH IS A CHANCE TO ASK FOR FUTURE AGENDA ITEMS. REPORTS. HAVE WE ANY REQUESTS? I SEE NONE. HAVE WE A NEED FOR EXECUTIVE SESSION THIS EVENING? ALL RIGHT. WE DO NOT. SO WE WILL ADJOURN THE MEETING AT 4:55.
