SUBJECT: Interlocal Agreement with Bexar County for the Prue Road at French Creek

SUMMARY:
An Ordinance authorizing the execution of an Interlocal Agreement with Bexar County for the Flood Control Capital Project "Prue Road at French Creek (LC-6)" located in Council District 8 and authorizing payment to Bexar County in an amount not to exceed $211,061.33 available from 2007-2012 General Obligation Bond Funds in the Prue Road Project.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
The "Prue Road at French Creek (LC-6)" Capital Project is part of the Bexar County Flood Control Program and this project consists of the replacement of an existing low water crossing with a span bridge between Old Prue Road and Wilson Oaks. Bexar County's total construction budget for this project is $3,500,000.00. The bridge will provide an unflooded vehicular travel route for citizens and emergency responders during a 1% annual chance (100-year) storm event. Associated project features include channel improvements, additional travel lanes, and utility adjustments. The span bridge will be constructed wide enough to accommodate up to five vehicular travel lanes in the future.
The City completed its $10 million portion of the 2007-2012 General Obligation Bond Project at Prue Road in June 2012. This project widened Prue Road to four lanes from Country Dawn to Autumn Bluff. The City set aside funding in this project in order to partner with the County to provide for the additional Prue Road roadway improvements but needed to wait until Bexar County was ready with its flood control project before the street could be widened east and west of the bridge at French Creek.
