BACKGROUND
PROJECT PURPOSE
• The Upper East Fork Interceptor System (UEFIS) Regional Capacity Assessment and Assurance study identified the need to increase the capacity of the McKinney Prosper Sewer, which serves the cities of McKinney and Prosper.
• City of McKinney has immediate plans to redirect flow from its Stonebridge Lift Station to NTMWD’s McKinney Prosper Sewer.
• A parallel 42-/48-inch interceptor will provide the capacity needed to accommodate the system flow projections from the Stonebridge areas, north of US Highway 380.
• The parallel interceptor will convey flows to the planned Stover Creek Lift Station and ultimately to the Sister Grove Regional Water Resource Recovery Facility, through the planned Stover Creek Force Main.
• The interceptor is approximately 5,000 linear feet, generally located from Easley Drive to the future Stover Creek junction structure near the intersection of US Highway 380 and Ridge Road.
• The design allows for a future extension to add capacity to meet City of Prosper’s flow projections.
• Permanent, Temporary, and Access easements are required.
• The general route along which these easements to be acquired is shown on the accompanying map.
SUPPORT SERVICES
• Employ the firm of Saunders, Walsh & Beard, Attorneys & Counselors, to act as counsel on the acquisition of the properties.
• Employ an appraiser to provide appropriate reports.
• Employ a title company to provide professional services related to certain property ownership issues.
• Employ services to perform a title survey for purchase and acquisition and verify property lines and potential easement locations when necessary.
• Based on ongoing projects and current workload, contracted land agents or acquisition company(s) may be employed to assist in easement acquisition.
FUNDING
Funding in the amount of $2,900,000 is to be made available utilizing the Upper East Fork Interceptor System Extendable Commercial Paper (ECP) Program as the appropriation source; issuance of ECP notes will occur as cash needs arise.
