MEMORANDUM
DATE: May 16, 1989
TO: Mayor and City Council
City Manager
FROM: Jim Briggs
Director of Public Utilities
RE: Williams Drive Utility Relocations
Project No. 00290
The City of Georgetown as a part of the Right -of -Way
acquisition and utility relocations along Williams
Drive , FM 2338, has certain commitments to
the relocation of existing utilities within that
right-of-way acquisition. A part of those utilities
having to be relocated is a electrical line owned by
Pedernales Electric Cooperative. This particular electrical
line is operated by Pedernales Electric Cooperative within a
private easement designation. According to the State
Department of Highways and Public Transportation Right -Of -Way
Division, all utilities operating within newly acquired
right-of-ways that exist in private easements are to be
compensated for relocation by the acquiring agency.
City staff has met with representatives of Pedernales
Electric Cooperative and the Texas Department of Highways
and Public Transportation Right -of -Way Division on several
occasions during the past two months to resolve this
particular relocation issue. After clear definition that
Pedernales Electric Cooperative was operating within a
private utility easement -the recommendation of the
Department of Highways and Public Transportation Right -of
Way Division, and that this relocation be a compensable one.
Pedernales Electric Cooperative at the request of City staff,
bid the relocation of this existing overhead electrical line
and the low bid as submitted to the City of Georgetown was
Universal Electric with a bid amount of $9,171.94. The
original request by Pedernales Electric Cooperative for
compensation was approximately $10,000.00. Therefore, since
Pedernales Electric has met the requirement of the City of
Georgetown to competitively bid this project, and
clarification has been made by the Department of Highways
and Public Transportation Right -of -Way Division that this is
a compensable relocation.
City staff is recommending approval of the relocation and
payment to Pedernales Electric Cooperative for such
relocation in the total amount of $9,171.94.

Proposed Motion: Motion to authorize payment to Pedernales
Electric Cooperative for utility line relocation on Williams
Drive in the amount of $9,171.94.
