HomeMy WebLinkAboutItem 21 - DART License AgreementMEMO TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: B. • RUMBELOW, CITY MANAGER $1
MEETING DATE: NOVEMBER 15, 2016
SUBJECT: DART LICENSE AGREEMENT- FIBER
RECOMMENDATION:
City Council consider approving Revised License Agreements for a City fiber crossing of
the DART Railroad right-of-way, authorize City Staff to execute said License
Agreements, and take any necessary action.
FUNDING SOURCE:
Funds are available in account number 177-44500-101-002-2015 (IT License and
Maintenance Fees) in the amount of $2,550.
The City of Grapevine will share an existing conduit under the railroad right of way just
east of Baylor Parkway for the City fiber line to serve the Public Safety Building. The 288
fiber lines will be pulled in the existing 2" conduit used for traffic signal preemption.
Using this existing conduit provides an expeditious way to get the line installed. We
intend to construct another location within existing right of way leases then remove this
line and the charge would ease. Railroad crossings by our utilities in combination with
street crossings are not charged a fee.
The fees for the crossings are based upon the number of fibers crossing the right of
way. The annual payments would begin in December, 2016 with an initial payment of
$2,550.
Staff recommends approval.
