AGENDA • Study Overview • ROW Study • Utility Study • Conclusions • Questions
Problem Statement How long does ROW acquisition take? How long does utility relocation take? What are the drivers of duration?
Study Objectives Develop: • Process model for ROW acquisition and utility relocation • Duration metrics and • Advisory tool for duration estimation
Data Basis ROW: • Number of projects: 55 • ROW parcels: 200 + • Interviews: Five Districts, Texas Turnpike Authority (TTA), ROW Division Utilities: • Number of projects: 67 • Utility adjustments: 300 + • Interviews: Six Districts, TTA, ROW Division
Process Map • 100+ activities • Stratified by organization • Shows integration and links to PS&E • Key milestones • Some “aha’s” and future improvements

Key Drivers: Critical Path Parcels Summary of Delay Factors from Critical Path Parcels [1] Some Critical Path Parcels had multiple delays
ROW Key Findings • Projects with fewer parcels have faster acquisition times • Projects with more parcels have more lag time between ROW release First appraisal • Delay Drivers: • Critical path parcel drivers • ROW release First appraisal • Little difference in acquisition times: Urban vs. rural parcels

Additional Key Drivers of Duration • Rural vs. Urban/Metro • TxDOT project type • Accurate utility location information • Timely communication of project to Utilities • TxDOT coordination between Utilities
Utility RelocationKey Findings • Utilities waiting on ROW acq., drainage design • “Last minute” design changes problematic • Robust utility data management system needed

AGENDA • Study Overview • ROW Study • Utility Study • Conclusions • Questions
Conclusions ROW Acquisition: • Critical Path Parcels take approx. 950 days on avg.; 90th% approx. 1650 days • Typical parcel takes approx. 300 days on avg.; 90th% is approx. 900 days • Key drivers for delay: • Pricing, compensation and impact disputes • Title curative • Third party • Delay from ROW Release First appraisal
Conclusions Utility Relocation Duration: • From ROW Release: 1160 days on avg.; 90th% approx. 2400 days • From Final Agreement: 220 days on avg.; 90th% approx. 540 days • Key Drivers: • No. of Agreements • Rural vs. Urban/Metro • TxDOT project type • LPA funding • Type of utility
