Performance of Work 1) City agrees that, subject to the terms of this Agreement, TxDOT, through its Developer and subcontractors selected by Developer, shall effect the Adjustment and relocation of the City Utilities that are in direct conflict with the Project, as such are determined by TxDOT, City and/or Developer. City acknowledges that Developer is an independent contractor of TxDOT, TxDOT is not responsible or liable for the design or construction work performed by Developer in connection with the City Adjustments, and TxDOT is not engaged in a joint enterprise with the Developer. TxDOT shall enforce all CDA provisions requiring the Developer to comply with the standards for design and construction contained in this Agreement. 2) TxDOT will authorize the performance of only those City Adjustment items of work for which City has requested and has agreed to pay for as described in this Agreement, including all work detailed in the Attachments Al-Final and B 1-Final. C. Preparation of Plans The plans, specifications, and cost estimates necessary to adjust City's facilities (collectively the "Plans") are not available at the time of this agreement. The existing City utility facilities as provided on the TxDOT SUE work and existing utility exhibits are approximate and attached to this Agreement as Attachment B-Preliminary. The Plans will be developed through one (1) of the following options [check one (1) box only that applies]: ® Option One—Plans Prepared by Developer The City will provide for the Developer its written "Standards" hereinafter defined, for the City Adjustments in accordance with applicable law. As part of 4 Aropaftment SPD ROW-U-AAMU-I (REV 04/2015) PAGE 5 OF 24 RCSJ/CCSJ# 0101-06-109/0101-06-095 DISTRICT# CORPUS CHRISTI(16) PROJECT: US 181 HARBOR BRIDGE REPLACEMENT FEDERAL PROJECT#: the "Standards" submittal, the City will also provide, to TxDOT and the Developer, electronic Geographic Information System (GIS) shape-files and "as- built" records illustrating to the best of City's estimation, the location of existing utility facilities on the Project's Right of Way Map. The City may also provide information regarding alternate configurations and betterments. TxDOT, in accordance with the Comprehensive Development Agreement, shall cause the Developer to design and provide the one or more preliminary plans prior to the final Plans for the City Adjustments, which are subject to the approval of the City and TxDOT. If City does not agree with Developer's cost estimate and/or Plans to perform the work for the City Adjustments, then City and TxDOT will separately negotiate an agreement regarding the City Adjustments. In the event that City and TxDOT are unable to agree on the cost estimate and/or Plans, TxDOT will provide City with a receipt showing the costs for Developer's design fee associated with preparing the Plans and reimburse City the amount remaining from its preliminary agreed sum down payment, after which the City shall have no further obligation for payment or performance under this Agreement, and this Agreement shall terminate. In that event City shall undertake the adjustments of its facilities separately, TxDOT retains all rights and remedies provided in the Transportation Code and the rules promulgated pursuant thereto regarding the relocation of utilities. ❑ Option Two—Plans Prepared by City The City will provide Plans for the City Adjustments. The City represents and warrants that the Plans will conform to the most recent Utility Accommodation Rules issued by TxDOT, set forth in 43 Texas Administrative Code Part 1, • Chapter 21, Subchapter C et seq. (the "UAR"). The City will also provide to TxDOT a utility plan view map illustrating the location of existing and proposed utility facilities on the Developer's Right of Way Map of the Project. D. Review of Plans 1) Once the plans have been prepared by the Developer, TxDOT shall submit one or more preliminary plans prior to the final plans to the City for its review and pre- approval. Upon written approval by the City of the Developer-prepared Plans, the Plans are deemed "Reviewed and Approved for Construction" by the City. TxDOT will have final approval except that City shall have the authority to interpret its ordinances and rules as they apply to the Plans. The parties agree to act expeditiously, and to cooperate in good faith to modify the Plans as necessary and acceptable to the parties to respond to any modifications or comments. 2) Upon amending this agreement, each party hereto will acknowledge and agree that the Plans are approved as to the location and manner in which the utilities will be 5 SPD ROW-U-AAMU-1 (REV 04/2W 5) PAGE 6 of 24 RCSJ/CCSJ# 0101-06-109/0101-06-095 DISTRICT# CORPUS CHRISTI(16) PROJECT: US 181 HARBOR BRIDGE REPLACEMENT FEDERAL PROJECT#: installed, adjusted, or relocated within the State Highway Right of Way (the "ROW"), subject to the Developer's satisfactory performance of the City Adjustments in accordance with the approved Plans. City will agree that the Plans comply with City design standards. Neither TxDOT nor the Developer has a duty to review the facilities or components thereof for their adequacy to provide the intended utility service. The City will acknowledge that the Plans attached to this Agreement in Attachment B 1- Final are "Reviewed and Approved for Construction" by the City. E. Design and Construction Standards 1) TxDOT will require in the CDA that all design and construction performed for the City Adjustments by the Developer shall comply with and conform to the following: a. All applicable local and State laws, regulations, decrees, ordinances and policies, including the UAR, the ROW Utility Manual issued by TxDOT (to the extent its requirements are mandatory for the City Adjustments necessitated by the Project), and the policies of TxDOT; b. All Federal laws, regulations, decrees, ordinances and policies applicable to projects receiving Federal funding, financing and/or credit assistance, including without limitation 23 CFR 645 Subparts A and B; and the Buy America provisions of 23 U.S.0 § 313 and 23 CFR 635.410; c. The terms of all governmental permits or other approvals, as well as any private approvals of third parties necessary for such work; d. The standard specifications, standards of practice, and construction methods (collectively, "Standards") which City customarily applies to utility facilities comparable to the City Utilities that are constructed by City or for City by its contractors at City's expense, which standards are current at the time this Agreement is signed by City, and which City has submitted to TxDOT in writing; e. The Plans; and f. The warranty provided by Developer in the CDA with regard to all other work performed under the CDA. 2) TxDOT shall require in the CDA that such design and construction also shall be consistent and compatible with (i) the Developer's current design and construction of the Project, (ii) the "Ultimate Configuration" for the Project, and (iii) any other utilities being installed in the same vicinity.
