Vogel Creek Monthly Update
February 2005 Update
Phase II Excavation Project Long Creek Drive to Arncliffe Drive
The design of the Phase II Excavation Project from Long Creek Drive to Arncliffe Drive has been completed by CivilTech Engineering, Inc. and all necessary approvals required by the City of Houston to construct the project have been obtained.
The utility adjustment agreements with CenterPoint Electric and Gas and TimeWarner Cable for the Phase II Excavation Project were approved by Commissioners Court on February 8, 2005, and February 22, 2005, respectively. HCFCD finalized the agreement with SBC and will submit the agreement for approval on the March 8, 2005, Commissioners Court agenda.
Also on the March 8th Commissioners Court agenda will be a request for approval to advertise for bids for the construction of the Vogel Creek Phase II excavation project. The bids will be due on April 4, 2005.
Utility Adjustment Work
HCFCD anticipates the necessary utility adjustment work to be completed prior to the end of the bid and award process for the construction project, which is approximately 90 days.
Right-of-Way
The last residential property at 7635 Streamside was acquired at the end of January by HCFCD for the ultimate channel project. The existing structure will be demolished within approximately 60 days of the time we acquired the property.
The Harris County Right of Way Division has commenced acquisition on 16 tracts in which partial property is needed for the Vogel Creek project, including 8 tracts within Inwood Forest Golf Course. To date, three of the 16 tracts have been purchased by HCFCD.
Communication with Residents
Residents in the Vogel Creek project area received a project update via mail in early February. The handout materials were the same as those that were distributed at the January 25 HOA/Civic Club Presidents meeting.
Other
At the Jan. 25 meeting, Arbor Oaks residents inquired about a pump station potentially planned for their neighborhood. HCFCD has no plans to construct a pump station and verified with the City of Houston that they, too, have no such station planned for the Arbor Oaks subdivision at this time.
Additionally, HCFCD has determined that the metering or rain gauges available at www.hcoem.org are managed by the Harris County Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Management. To inquire about specific gauges, you may also call them at 713-881-3100.
