EXPLANATION OF STRATEGIC ALIGNMENT: Executing the encroachment agreement for storm water drainage for the North Base Demand Response Capital Improvement Project directly supports the agency's ability to construct this new operational facility and therefore fulfill key strategic goals and objectives.
The encroachment agreement allows Capital Metro to construct the new North Base Demand Response Capital facility which directly supports the agency's ability to provide an improved paratransit (ADA) and accessible transit system to the community. The encroachment agreement allows a financially responsible technical solution to be constructed for managing storm water runoff.
BUSINESS CASE: The approval of the storm water drainage encroachment agreement is proposed to provide a cost-effective technical solution to address storm water runoff from the Capital Metro project. Funding for this action is available in the FY2025 Capital Budget.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION: The item was presented and recommended for approval by the Operations, Planning & Safety Committee on March 12, 2025.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: CapMetro is developing a new Demand Response operations maintenance facility located on 25 acres of land at 10805 Cameron Road, Austin, Texas. This parcel of land is owned by CapMetro and is currently undeveloped which requires new storm drain infrastructure. A surface storm drainage channel is proposed by CapMetro on the property to minimize impacts to Cameron Road and reduce capital cost. This surface channel is over the top of an existing easement granted to the City of Pflugerville in 2004 for their raw-water lines. The encroachment agreement is granted by the City of Pflugerville to allow CapMetro to construct the surface drainage channel and related storm water drainage infrastructure. CapMetro in return will waive railroad license fees where the City of Pflugerville’s raw water lines cross CapMetro’s railroad right-of-way locations.
