Authorize negotiation and execution of an advance funding agreement with the Texas Department of Transportation for water and wastewater capacity improvements associated with the relocation and adjustments of existing lines and appurtenances in conflict with the Interstate Highway 35 (IH-35) Capital Express University Roadway Project in the amount of $4,551,603, plus a contingency of $455,160, for a total agreement amount not to exceed $5,006,763. Funding: $5,006,763 is available in the Capital Budget of Austin Water.

The city wants to sign an agreement with TxDOT to move and adjust water and wastewater lines that are in the way of the I-35 Capital Express University project. As TxDOT reworks the highway through central Austin, those underground utilities have to shift to make room — and the city's on the hook for the work. The agreement is capped at $5,006,763 (including a $455,160 contingency), all coming from Austin Water's capital budget.
