Purchasing Language: N/A Prior Council Action: Boards and Commission Action: MBE/WBE: N/A The Elroy Road Improvement Project is a Travis County Bond Project that is being managed by the Central Texas Regional Mobility Authority (CTRMA) with Travis County oversight. The existing two-lane rural roadway is being widened to a four-lane major urban arterial roadway with a continuous center left turn lane, sidewalks, and bicycle lanes on both sides of Elroy Road between McAngus Lane and Kellam Road. As a result of unforeseen changes that occurred during construction, this amendment updates the Interlocal Agreement approved by Council on August 22, 2019. The main change is related to the addition of 742 linear feet of new 12-inch water line that was not part of the original interlocal agreement and was needed to be relocated due to conflicts identified during construction. Other costs included in this amendment include material cost increases and additional design costs. The original Interlocal Agreement authorized Austin Water to pay Travis County an estimated amount not to exceed $ 196,387. The additional funding being requested is for $220,375.67 broken down as follows: $180,607.46 for construction, $30,737.84 for design, and $9,030.37 for 5% contingency. The additional funds requested will fund the project through construction completion. The construction of the roadway improvement in Travis County has already begun and a major portion of the relocation and adjustments to Austin Water infrastructure have been completed. Executing the interlocal agreement brought together the efforts of the County and Austin Water in the design and construction of the roadway improvements and utility adjustments to minimize impacts to the public and save costs. The project also provided an opportunity for Austin Water to include water lines to facilitate extension of its existing infrastructure to better serve the growing Austin Metropolitan area. This project is managed by Austin Water. This project is located in zip code 78747, within the extraterritorial jurisdiction and is adjacent to Council District 2.
