CARRIE VO.

AND WE WILL MOVE TO ITEM FIVE ON UPDATE ON TRANSPORTATION PROJECTS.

UNDER ITEM MAY

[A.) Discuss/Take action on the Shadle Road project engineering services.  (Morgan McIlwain / Commissioner Holt)]

UH, JACOB.

SO SHALE IS A ROAD THAT WE'VE BEEN WORKING ON FOR WHAT SEEMS LIKE SINCE MY FIRST WEEK IN OFFICE.

YEAH, , BUT JUST FOR, FOR ONE REASON OR ANOTHER OR OTHER PROJECTS GETTING MOVED AROUND.

UM, IT SEEMS TO BE THAT ONE THAT KEEPS GETTING KICKED BACK MORE AND MORE.

AND SO BECAUSE IT TIES INTO AN FM ROAD AND BECAUSE WE ARE, UH, MORE THAN OCCUPIED WITH SOME OTHER PROJECTS, WE'VE ENGAGED FREEZING NICHOLS TO GO GET A BID FROM SOMEONE ELSE TO CONNECT THAT, TO MAKE THAT RECONNECTION AND ADJUST SHALE TO THE NORTH WHERE THE LINE OF SIGHT IS GOING TO BE IMPROVED.

THE ACCESS TO FM NINE 20 IS GONNA BE IMPROVED.

THE GRADING AND THE SLOPE IS GONNA BE BETTER.

ALL THINGS THAT ARE PRETTY IMPORTANT FOR SAFETY ON A ROAD THAT'S FAR BUSIER NOW THAN IT WAS 10, 15 YEARS AGO.

AND, AND IF, IF YOU COULD SHARE MY SCREEN, UH, OUT, THEY'LL SHOW YOU THE LOCATION.

UH, YEAH.

SO, UH, THERE'S WHERE COMMISSIONER HOLT IS TALKING ABOUT.

IT'S UP OUT OF THE NORTHERN AREA OFF OF NINE 20.

UM, THE SERVICES HERE, UH, WE HAVE, UH, SERVICES FOR THE DESIGN.

THIS IS A ACCELERATED, UH, PROJECT AS, UH, COMMISSIONER HOLT MENTIONED DUE TO THE SAFETY CONCERN.

SO PART OF THIS IS GETTING THE PERMIT WITH TECH STOCK AND, UH, THE TOTAL SERVICES IS, UH, 75,200, WHICH WOULD BE FUNDED WITH PRECINCT TWO DISCRETIONARY FUNDS.

THAT 2 0 7 THAT WE HAVE SHADE, WILL THAT COME FROM IT OR IS THAT SEPARATE? THAT'S MY PREFERENCE.

OKAY.

IS TO USE THAT 2 0 7 FIRST.

OKAY.

I SUSPECT ONCE WE GET INTO THE CONSTRUCTION PHASE, WE WILL USE ALL OF THE REMAINDER OF THE 2 0 7 AND THEN GO FURTHER INTO NORMAL DISCRETIONARY.

OKAY.

VERY GOOD.

OKAY.

MOTION MADE BY COMMISSIONERS HOLT SECOND BY COMMISSIONER HALE.

ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? ALL IN FAVOR.

MOTION CARRIES FIVE OH.

MOVE TO ITEM B ON DISCUSS, TAKE ACTION.

ON THE CARTER ROAD PRO OBJECT ENGINEERING AND CONSTRUCTION PHASE SERVICES.

UM, OH, SORRY, GO AHEAD.

CARTER ROAD IS A ROAD THAT INTERSECTS WITH 51.

IT'S AN UNPROTECTED SUPER TWO, WHICH MEANS THAT THERE'S TWO LANES TRAVELING, UH, NORTHBOUND.

HOWEVER, VEHICLES WILL HAVE TO STOP IN THE LEFT.

MOST OF THOSE TWO LANES TO TURN LEFT OR WEST ONTO CARTER ROAD.

AND FOR WHATEVER REASON, FOLKS BEHIND THEM OFTEN DON'T SEE THEM AND END UP, UH, SMASHING INTO THE REAR END OF THEM.

WE HAD A, UH, I BELIEVE IT WAS A FATALITY AND EARLY 23 AT THAT LOCATION.

SO THROUGH THE HIGHWAY SAFETY IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM, UM, I BELIEVE I HAVE THAT ACRONYM RIGHT THROUGH TXDOT.

WE ARE PROVIDING THE ENGINEERING SERVICES AND THEN TDOT'S GONNA PROVIDE THE CONSTRUCTION TO WIDEN THE ROAD THERE AND MAKE THAT WHAT THEY CALL A PROTECTED SUPER TWO, WHICH IS WHERE YOU HAVE A TURN LANE THAT PROTECTS FOLKS WHO ARE TRYING TO TURN OFF OF THE HIGHWAY ONTO THE COUNTY ROAD.

UH, SO THIS SHOWS YOU THE LOCATION OF THE CARTER ROAD PROJECT AND, AND ONE OF THE, UH, THE FUNDING THAT HAS BEEN ALLOCATED WITH THE HIGHWAY SAFETY IMPROVEMENT IS $2.2 MILLION.

UH, AS COMMISSIONER HOLT MENTIONED THAT TECH STOCK'S COVERING THAT AS WELL AS THEY'LL, THEY'LL MANAGE THE, UH, THE CONSTRUCTION OF THAT PROJECT.

UH, THIS BREAKS DOWN THE, SO THE, THE ADDED SERVICES HERE.

SO WE ARE CURRENTLY UNDER CONTRACT FOR THE DESIGN.

AND, UH, DURING THE DESIGN PROCESS, TEX REQUESTED THAT WE EXTEND THE TRANSITIONS.

UH, SO THIS INCLUDES THE SURVEY FOR THAT, UH, THE DESIGN SERVICES.

WE ALSO INCLUDED, UH, CONSTRUCTION PHASE IN TERMS OF, UH, OUR SUPPORT OF THE STATE DURING THE CONSTRUCTION OF THIS PROJECT PROJECT.

AND SO THE TOTAL THERE IS 74,758.

[00:20:04]

ANY OTHER DISCUSSION ON THIS ITEM? ALL IN FAVOR.

CURIOUS PAVO? YEAH.

MOVE TO ITEMS. MOVE TO ITEM C.

DISCUSS, TAKE ACTION ON THE CHURCH ROAD PROJECT ENGINEERING SERVICES.

UH, SO CHURCH ROAD, UH, YOU CAN SEE, UH, CHURCH ROAD CURRENTLY, UH, IS LOCATED IN PRECINCT ONE.

AND IT, UM, IT, IT BASICALLY IS THE CONNECTION FROM EXTENDING CHURCH FROM SEVEN 30 TO VIL STATION.

UM, WE HAD ADDED A ROUNDABOUT.

UH, WE, OR ORIGINALLY THE PROJECT WAS JUST TO T IN, BUT GIVEN THE PROXIMITY TO NEWSO MOUND ROAD AND THAT KIND OF OFFSET, UH, WE PROCEEDED WITH A ROUNDABOUT AT THAT LOCATION AND REALIGNING NEWSOM MOUND, UH, TO CONNECT, UH, TO THIS EXTENSION OF CHURCH.

UH, SO WHAT THESE SERVICES ARE, UH, WE, WE DID HAVE SOME RIGHT OF WAY IN THE ORIGINAL PROJECT, BUT WE'LL NEED SOME ADDITIONAL RIGHT OF WAY HERE.

UH, WE ALSO HAVE SUE SERVICES, UH, FOR THE UTILITIES IN THAT AREA.

AND ONE OF THE ELEMENTS HERE, COMMISSIONER, IS UH, WITH APPROVAL OF THIS, WE'LL PROCEED WITH A ROUNDABOUT, BUT WE THINK GIVEN, UH, THIS ADDED THAT IT'LL BE, MAKES SENSE TO GO AHEAD AND BID THE MAIN ROAD UP TO THAT LOCATION.

UH, SO WE CAN GET THAT UNDER CONSTRUCTION.

WHILE WE'RE, UH, ACQUIRING THIS RIGHTWAY, WE'RE GONNA DO THE MAIN ROAD FIRST, THEN THE ROUNDABOUT.

YEAH.

YEAH.

THE, ORIGINALLY WE WERE TRYING TO PUT IT ALL TOGETHER, BUT NOW ACQUIRING THIS EXTRA RIGHT OF WAY AND CLEARING THIS, WE DIDN'T WANT TO DELAY THE WHOLE THING.

RIGHT.

THE MAIN ROAD WAS GONNA BE THE FIRST PHASE ANYWAYS.

SO THAT'S KIND OF THE THINKING TO KEEP, KEEP US ON SCHEDULE THERE.

WE GOT BOTH OF THE LANDOWNERS AT EACH END.

HAVE WE? SO WE HAVE, YEAH.

SO WE HAVE THE LANDOWNER ADJACENT TO NEWSOM MOUND, AND THEN WE HAVE, UH, THE VERY SOUTHERN END.

WE, WE DID ACQUIRE THAT.

AND UM, THIS IS LIKE THE CORNER CLIPS AS YOU'RE, SO IT'D BE THE SOUTH SIDE OF THE STATION IS WHERE WE NEED ADDITIONAL RIGHT OF WAY, RIGHT.

AND WE PUT THAT ROUNDABOUT THERE.

IT DIDN'T FIT IN THE ORIGINAL FOOTPRINT.

ALRIGHT, THANK YOU.

UM, SO THIS, UH, PROPOSED AMENDMENT IS $155,000, UH, FOR THESE ADDITIONAL SERVICES.

OKAY.

WITH A MOTION WITH COMMISSIONER COLLEEN AND A SECOND BY COMMISSIONER HALE.

IS THERE ANY DISCUSSION? THIS BOARD VOTE ALL IN FAVOR CARRIES FIVE OH.

MOVE TO ITEM D ON DISCUSS, TAKE ACTION ON FM ONE 13, PROJECT CONSTRUCTION PHASE SERVICES.

UH, COMMISSIONER WALNUT, I'LL DEFER.

UH, OKAY.

YES.

.

SO I HAD TO GET, I HAD TO GIVE YOU A CHANCE TO, SO FM ONE 13, YOU KNOW, IS, UH, IF YOU REMEMBER, WE'VE MENTIONED IT MANY TIMES.

IT WAS ACTUALLY FROM THE 2016 BOND, UH, AND TECH STOCK BID THAT JOB.

AND SO WHAT THESE SERVICES ARE, UH, WAS OUR SUPPORT.

WE HAD TO MAKE SOME CHANGES.

THERE WAS SOME FIELD, UH, CONDITIONS WHEN THE JOB WAS BEING BUILT.

UH, AND SO THAT'S WHAT THESE ADDITIONAL SERVICES ARE RELATED TO THAT, UH, CONSTRUCTION PHASE SUPPORT.

UH, THE FEE FOR THAT IS 34,000 AND WOULD COME OUT OF PRECINCT THREE DISCRETIONARY.

SO THIS IS THE RAILROAD CROSSING AT MILLSAP THAT WE'VE BEEN WORKING ON FOR MANY, MANY YEARS, OVER 10 YEARS IN FACT.

AND, AND CHRIS HAS WORKED ON IT DILIGENTLY, UH, WORKING WITH THE RAILROAD AND TEXDOT TO MAKE THIS PROJECT OCCUR.

THIS, IF YOU DON'T KNOW, THIS WAS THE MOST DANGEROUS, UH, RAILROAD CROSSING IN PARKER COUNTY.

UH, WHEN YOU CROSSED THE RAILROAD, YOU HAD TO IMMEDIATELY TAKE A, A LEFT TURN, AND THEN THERE WERE BUILDINGS IN THE WAY FOLLOWED BY ANOTHER RIGHT TURN.

SO YOU COULDN'T SEE AROUND THE, COULDN'T SEE AROUND THE CROSSING.

AND THE GRADE WAS SUCH THAT, UH, LOW SLUNG TRAILERS WOULD GET STUCK ON THE TRACKS THERE, EVEN WITH THE IMPROVEMENTS THAT TEXAS HAD MADE A FEW YEARS AGO THAT COULD STILL GET STUCK THERE.

AND, UH, SO THIS, THIS WE FEEL LIKE WAS ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT THINGS THAT WE'VE DONE.

IT, UH, IT TOOK SUCH A LONG TIME BECAUSE OF ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES.

SOME OF THOSE BUILDINGS FELL OUT IN THE ROAD AND WE WERE ASKED TO, TO REMOVE THOSE BUILDINGS.

AND, UH, SO THAT CREATED AN ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUE THERE THAT WE HAD TO OVERCOME.

UH, WE HAD PEOPLE, UH, SENDING A LETTER, UH, UH, SENT A LETTER TO THE GOVERNOR ASKING TO STOP THIS PROJECT BECAUSE OF THE, THE BUILDINGS THERE, WHICH WERE NOTHING MORE THAN A BRICK, UH, SHELL OF A BUILDING WITH NO ROOF ON THEM.

UH, BUT WITH ALL THAT SAID, UH, THIS, THIS STARTED WHEN THE, UH, I ATTENDED THE RIBBON CUTTING OF THE RAILROAD CROSSING ALITO, WHICH WAS OVER 10 YEARS AGO.

MM-HMM .

I THINK IT WAS PROBABLY 12 OR 13 YEARS AGO.

RIGHT.

AND WE HAD THE RAILROAD FOLKS THERE AND TEXDOT THERE, AND WE BEGAN THIS PROCESS.

BUT, UH, I ASKED, I'VE ASKED CHRIS ABOUT THIS TIME, AFTER TIME AFTER TIME AT COURT, AND NONE OF THOSE WERE HIS FAULT.

THEY WERE ALL EITHER

[00:25:01]

AND SO WE'VE FINALLY GOTTEN IT DONE.

IF YOU HAVEN'T BEEN THERE, WE, WE NEED TO HAVE A RIBBON CUTTING THERE, CHRIS, UH, FOR THAT.

AND THE TWO BRIDGES THAT ARE, ARE, THEY'RE ADJACENT TO THAT.

BUT, UM, THIS IS ONE, ONE OF THE MOST, UH, SIGNIFICANT IMPROVEMENTS IN SAFETY IN, IN THE ROADWAY IN PARKER COUNTY SINCE I'VE BEEN HERE.

SO THANK YOU FOR THE WORK.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR DILIGENCE AND THANKS TO THE COURT FOR, UH, UH, THE PART THAT'S, THAT WE'RE PAYING HERE, WHICH WINDS UP COMING OUT OF MY DISCRETIONARY MONEY, EVEN THOUGH TEXDOT ASKED ME TO PUT THAT DIRT THERE TO PREVENT IT FROM GETTING ON THE OTHER PRO OTHER, UH, LANDOWNER'S PROPERTY THERE.

SO THIS IS NOT OUR FAULT.

WE SHOULDN'T BE PAYING FOR IT, BUT WE HAVE TO, WE HAVE A MOTION BY COMMISSIONER WALDO ON THE SECOND BY COMMISSIONER.

HA.

UH, COMMISSIONER, I WANT TO CONTINUE.

I THINK I WAS OUT AND YOU SHOWED ME THAT WHEN I WAS OUT WITH YOU.

UH, YOU, YOU'RE EXACTLY RIGHT.

EXCUSE ME.

AND I COMMEND YOU AND, UH, FREEZE THE NICHOLAS FOR GETTING THAT TAKEN CARE OF.

UH, ANY OTHER DISCUSSION ON THIS ITEM? ALL IN FAVOR CASE FIVE.

OH, THANK, THANK Y'ALL.

THANK YOU CHRIS.
