Possession vs. Clear for Construction
Possession
Acquire parcel by deed, Special Commissioner Award or Possession and Use Agreement (PUA)
PUA is a new strategy being utilized to reduce the timeline by allowing the department to use the property for utility relocations and construction
Possession does not always mean that we are ready to work on the parcel
Clear for Construction
All work complete on parcel (e.g., Relocation and Demo)
Shovel Ready
Ready to Let (RTL) definition

Relocation
Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Polices Act of 1970
Federal law where rules and regulations are followed when it comes to providing relocation payments and advisory assistance for displacees who are displaced by highway construction
Displacees are given at least thirty (30) days to vacate property after possession
Displacees sign Release of Property relinquishing all right to property, real or personal left on the site and hand over keys to department
Department secures property
Department can post signs to notify public that property belongs to the State of Texas and violators will be prosecuted

Clearing Right of Way for Utility Relocations Memo
24
Purpose of Memo
TxDOT implemented business process improvements of acquiring right of way early enough to allow utilities a years’ time to relocate prior to letting.
This has resulted in the need for Districts to be able to clear brush and trees from the right of way so utilities can be timely relocated.
To support the action ROW procured 8 demolition and disposal contracts totaling $42 million to remove brush and trees from the ROW for utilities to help the project meet the ‘Ready to Let’ definition.
Benefit to TxDOT is for expediting the utility relocation for utilities in the ROW under a Utility Installation Request (UIR) or Permit.
If there is no benefit to TxDOT, cost of clearing the ROW is reimbursable to the utility company if the utility adjustment is eligible for reimbursement.

Summary
Advanced planning with ROW Project Delivery and District on upcoming projects.
– Cost for demo and clearing the right of way needs to be considered when estimating the costs associated with a project
– Allow time for relocation and/or demo in project schedule
– Availability of ROW Clearing Contracts
Worst-Case Scenario with relocation and demo on project
TxDOT’s success is measured by scheduling and delivering RTL projects
Goal to drive on road 1 day quicker
