Board approves TxDOT agreements for Fowler turn lanes and Timber Mill signals
Summary
Trustees approved two TxDOT resolutions: a $27,200.48 fee for turn‑lane engineering at Fowler/Cartwright intermediates and a $63,266.67 oversight fee for three signal lights related to the Timber Mill project; funds are accounted for in project/bond budgets.
District staff explained both TxDOT agreements are standard arrangements where the state designs and inspects work in its right‑of‑way and the district pays engineering/inspection fees charged by TxDOT. For the Fowler Intermediate project (FM 1314 turn lanes) the TxDOT oversight fee is $27,200.48 and will be paid from the Fowler project bond funds. For Timber Mill High School the required TxDOT oversight fee for three signal lights is $63,266.67 and is accounted for in the Timber Mill project budget.
Trustees asked who maintains the lanes and signals after construction; staff said TxDOT or the local jurisdiction (county/city/township) typically maintains improvements in TxDOT right‑of‑way after acceptance. Trustees voted to accept both resolutions; each motion carried by uplift of hands (recorded as 7–0).
