Future recreational use or improvements proposed within the permanent use area will require coordination between Austin Water and the Austin Parks and Recreation. • Austin Water supports the incorporation of compatible parklike improvements within the “Request Two” permanent Declaration of Use area. Austin Parks and Recreation commits to coordinating with Austin Water on any future parklike improvements constructed within the area. • Future operation and maintenance activities associated with the utilities are anticipated to be limited to the area of the Park’s wastewater service connection, where the wastewater facilities will not be encased. This designated area should remain clear of permanent improvements to preserve access for future operation and maintenance activities. Austin Water recognizes the importance of the following measures in supporting continued coordination among City partners to minimize disturbances and support the successful implementation of the Park Development Project during TxDOT construction activities. This MOU and associated Declarations of Use are necessitated by TxDOT’s IH-35 Capital Express Central (CapEx) Project. While Austin Water does not have authority over the execution of TxDOT’s contracts or contractors, Austin Water will coordinate with the applicable parties to support implementation of the following measures. Austin Parks and Recreation will continue to coordinate directly with TxDOT regarding these activities, recognizing that successful implementation is achieved through collaboration among all involved parties. • Maintaining adequate access to parkland during the construction process to allow for the Park Development Project. • • Installing safety fencing and screening along all perimeters of workspace on or adjacent to parkland to ensure safe public access to remaining park areas throughout the construction process. Installing protective fencing along identified Protection Zones which overlap with the Limits of Construction of the proposed work on parkland and ensuring there is no adverse impact to historical assets on parkland including the Shelter House and staircase. • Ensuring compliance with the Palm Park Soil Stripping, Stockpiling, and Treatment Plan. • If the Park Development Project is required to extend its schedule or re-mobilize onsite due to TxDOT’s construction activities, Austin Parks and Recreation may incur additional development costs. Current estimates indicate approximately $480,000 in remobilization costs for a three- to four-month delay. Austin Water will serve as the lead City department in coordinating with TxDOT and its contractors to support inclusion of appropriate compensation to Austin Parks and Recreation within TxDOT-related agreements, should such delays occur. It is the responsibility of the Austin Capital Delivery Services Project Manager and/or the Austin Water Engineer to notify Austin Parks and Recreation of the Notice to Proceed 60 days prior to start of construction on-site. Extension/modification of parkland use must receive prior written approval from Austin Parks and Recreation as soon as identified and at least 90 days in advance. If extension over 60 days is required, this MOU must be updated to address additional impact to parkland due to delay. If the usage of the temporary use area exceeds the duration, additional mitigation fees will be assessed based on the daily use rate. Austin Capital Delivery Services Project Manager and/or the Austin Water Engineer must notify Austin Parks and Recreation upon completion of construction within parkland. Future repair or maintenance work requires notification to Austin Parks and Recreation. 2 of 3 Applicant is responsible for initiating an IET funds transfer from AW FDU 3920 2207 8162 (SPID # 3212.162) to APR FDU 8741-8607-3020-4888 in the amount of ($1,897,883) within 30 Calendar Days after execution of this Memorandum of Understanding.
