Subsequent to receiving the appraisal report, the Project Manager will begin the negotiation process.
The preliminary Environmental Classification deemed appropriate in accordance with 23CFR771 will be indicated on the KDOT Form 883. As the project design proceeds, more information becomes available that may, in some cases, cause a revision in the Environmental Classification of the project. Final determination of the environmental class will determine the type of documentation that will be required for the project.


See [http://www.fhwa.dot.gov/realestate/lpaguide/index.htm '''FHWA's Real Estate Acquisition Guide For Local Public Agencies'''] for information that will be necessary when a project is started that requires the acquisition of real estate and receives any Federal funding.
If an Environmental Impact Statement or an Environmental Assessment is determined to be the appropriate document, it will be the responsibility of the City and its consultant to prepare the document with coordination from KDOT and FHWA.


For KDOT projects, the process shall be in accordance with [[media:BLP-memo-92-15.pdf|'''BLP Memo 92-15''']], [[media:BLP-memo-97-01.pdf|'''BLP Memo 97-1''']] and [[media:BLP-memo-06-01.pdf|'''BLP Memo 06-01''']]. When federal funding is involved KDOT's Design Summary Document and environmental approval from FHWA must be received from KDOT BLP prior to proceeding with right of way negotiations.
If the project is determined to be a categorical exclusion, the Design Summary Document transmitted by KDOT will be the documentation. KDOT will prepare the Design Summary Document for FHWA concurrence. Once concurrence is received from FHWA, the KDOT's Local Road Engineer will forward it to the City.

For KDOT projects, the process shall be in accordance with KDOT's LPA Project Development Manual. When federal funding is involved KDOT's Design Summary Document and environmental approval from FHWA must be received from KDOT BLP prior to proceeding with right-of-way negotiations.


==== Notes ====
Engineering (development of property descriptions and deeds) and appraisal of tracts to be acquired on a project may begin at any time after the limits of the project's right-of-way needs has been established. These efforts should begin early enough in the project development process to allow sufficient time for acquisition and, if necessary, eminent domain procedures. Negotiations with the property owners and offer of compensation should not occur until completion of NEPA documentation since changes in the project design may become necessary as a result of the NEPA process.
<references group="T3 note"/>


== Task No. 4 - Begin Condemnation Process ==
No right-of-way acquisition may begin until after Section 4(f), Section 6(f), or Section 106 activities have been completed. BLP will transmit a copy of the FHWA concurrence in the NEPA document and copies of the appropriate ROW forms when the NEPA review has been completed. Early acquisition (acquisition prior to completion of the NEPA document) may be approved for individual properties when it is determined to be in the public's and/or property owner's best interest. A written request for early acquisition shall be submitted to BLP that identifies the specific property and includes an explanation of why early acquisition as being requested.

After the appraiser’s report is filed and the Finance Department issues the check to the District Court, the Contractor can use the R/W and Easements. For property owners inquiries about condemnation award distributions, the "award" can be collected from the Clerk of the District Court of Johnson County.
Once the Appraisers Report and Statement of Appraisers Fees are filed with District Court, the Law Department will route the Appraisers Report and Statement of Appraisers Fees along with the check requests for signatures by the City Attorney and Director of Public Works.  Once the check requests are signed, they will be provided to Finance with a request to route the checks to the Law Department.  The Law Department will forward the payment to the District Court and receive a receipt of payment. Law Department will provide Public Works with a copy of the receipt. Once the payment is received by District Court, the easements belong to the City. If property owners contact the City for their payment, they should be directed to collect their award from the Clerk of the District Court of Johnson County.

Home I-Vision II-Preliminary Design III-Final Design IV-Pre-Construction V-Construction VI-Retrospect

Introduction

During this phase-plans, specifications and contract documents are finalized. Condemnation, if required to obtain R/W or easements, is completed.

Utility relocations, that are practical and reasonable to accomplish, occurs during this phase, prior to beginning construction.

Environmental studies/concerns are addressed and resolved. Also, other agency approvals are received subsequent to final plan review.

Phase III Checklist

Task No. 1 - Schedule Third Utility Meeting

Top

When the plans are approximately 80 percent complete or at the stage where the horizontal and vertical alignments and the storm sewer profiles have been approved, the third utility meeting will be scheduled by the Consultant/Project Manager. A pre-meeting agenda shall be distributed and meeting minutes prepared.

GeekNotesIcon.png Note: When scheduling utility meeting in Google calendar, in order to avoid conflicts with other utility meetings, CH-PW Utilities (found under Rooms tab) shall be "invited" as an attendee to all meetings, pre-bid conferences and pre-construction conferences or any meetings that require utility company attendance.

See Phase II, Task No. 7 for exhibits.

The primary purpose of this meeting is to confirm what utilities need to be relocated, and establish if the facility is located in public R/W / easements or private easements. Determine whether Evergy streetlights are to be removed and replaced with City streetlights. Also, the project schedule will be reviewed and a time frame for relocating utility facilities will be addressed. If utilities requiring relocation are in private easements the project manager shall request relocation plans, a detailed cost estimate of relocations, a relocation schedule, a marked-up set of plan sheets highlighting existing utility locations, existing easement locations with book and page, and copies of easement documents.

Refer to the City's Utility Relocation Guidelines for all relocation planning.

See Plan Submission Requirement for Right-of-Way Permits for additional information.

If streetlights, that were formerly owned by Evergy, are to be removed, prepare a letter to Black & McDonald requesting a proposal for removal costs. This is generally only applicable to Neighborhood Street Reconstruction projects, CDBG projects and Streetlighting projects.

Once the City receives The Status of Project Environment Concerns (Final) from KDOT's Environmental Services Section the City shall obtain all required environmental permits. All environmental permit applications, correspondence and issued permits shall be packaged together in the project files for easy retrieval. Environmental Permits required to be on site during construction.

A Storm Water Pollution and Prevention Plan (SWPPP) must be prepared by the project team. All permits, environmental or otherwise, obtained by the contractor shall be packaged together in SWPPP booklet and shall be on site at all times once construction begins. For more information refer to Chapter 4.0 Environmental of KDOT's LPA Project Development Manual.

See SWPPP Template for assembling the SWPPP notebook.

Task No. 4 - Complete NEPA Documentation

Top

The preliminary Environmental Classification deemed appropriate in accordance with 23CFR771 will be indicated on the KDOT Form 883. As the project design proceeds, more information becomes available that may, in some cases, cause a revision in the Environmental Classification of the project. Final determination of the environmental class will determine the type of documentation that will be required for the project.

If an Environmental Impact Statement or an Environmental Assessment is determined to be the appropriate document, it will be the responsibility of the City and its consultant to prepare the document with coordination from KDOT and FHWA.

If the project is determined to be a categorical exclusion, the Design Summary Document transmitted by KDOT will be the documentation. KDOT will prepare the Design Summary Document for FHWA concurrence. Once concurrence is received from FHWA, the KDOT's Local Road Engineer will forward it to the City.

Exhibit No. III-4 is an example of the Design Summary Document with FHWA concurrence

For more information refer to Chapter 4.0 Environmental of KDOT's LPA Project Development Manual.

Task No. 5 - Begin Right-of-Way / Easement Negotiations

Top

Subsequent to receiving the appraisal report/estimate of just compensation, the Project Manager will begin the negotiation process.

See FHWA's Real Estate Acquisition Guide For Local Public Agencies for information that will be necessary when a project is started that requires the acquisition of real estate and receives any Federal funding.

For KDOT projects, the process shall be in accordance with KDOT's LPA Project Development Manual. When federal funding is involved KDOT's Design Summary Document and environmental approval from FHWA must be received from KDOT BLP prior to proceeding with right-of-way negotiations.

Engineering (development of property descriptions and deeds) and appraisal of tracts to be acquired on a project may begin at any time after the limits of the project's right-of-way needs has been established. These efforts should begin early enough in the project development process to allow sufficient time for acquisition and, if necessary, eminent domain procedures. Negotiations with the property owners and offer of compensation should not occur until completion of NEPA documentation since changes in the project design may become necessary as a result of the NEPA process.

No right-of-way acquisition may begin until after Section 4(f), Section 6(f), or Section 106 activities have been completed. BLP will transmit a copy of the FHWA concurrence in the NEPA document and copies of the appropriate ROW forms when the NEPA review has been completed. Early acquisition (acquisition prior to completion of the NEPA document) may be approved for individual properties when it is determined to be in the public's and/or property owner's best interest. A written request for early acquisition shall be submitted to BLP that identifies the specific property and includes an explanation of why early acquisition as being requested.

KDOT's LPA Project Development Manual describes R/W Acquisition Policies with the following attachments/information:

  • Procedures for R/W Acquisition on simple projects;
  • Certification of Real Property Acquisition procedures;
  • City offer to purchase Statement of Compensation;
  • Partial donation of R/W;
  • Donation of R/W;
  • Value Finding Appraisal;

The Project Manager or the appraiser must invite the property owner or owner's designated representative to accompany the appraiser during the inspection of the property.

For additional information see "Real Property Acquisition for Kansas Highways, Roads, Streets and Bridges".

For Federal Regulations regarding Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition see 49CFR24.

Exhibit No. III-5a is the Real Property Acquisition Checklist.
Exhibit No. III-5b is a sample Letter from Appraiser to Property Owner. (to be replaced with better example when available)
Exhibit No. III-5c is a sample Acquisition Notes. A log of owner contact should be kept for each owner.
Exhibit No. III-5d is the City's standard Mortgage Release for Individuals.
Exhibit No. III-5e is the City's standard Mortgage Release for Corporations.
Exhibit No. II-34i is a copy of Appraisal Review form.

The City's standard Easement Acquisition Agreement will be completed along with the negotiated right-of-way and easement documents.

A mortgage release shall be obtained if the value of acquisition exceeds $50,000.

For more information see Chapter 7.0 Right of Way of KDOT's LPA Project Development Manual.

Task No. 6 - Begin Condemnation Process

Top

For tracts that cannot be acquired by negotiation, the Law Department shall file documents to begin the Condemnation Process.

Exhibit No. III-6 is an example transmittal memo to the City Clerk for filing of the condemnation documents.

Task No. 7 - Complete Condemnation Process

Top

Once the Appraisers Report and Statement of Appraisers Fees are filed with District Court, the Law Department will route the Appraisers Report and Statement of Appraisers Fees along with the check requests for signatures by the City Attorney and Director of Public Works. Once the check requests are signed, they will be provided to Finance with a request to route the checks to the Law Department. The Law Department will forward the payment to the District Court and receive a receipt of payment. Law Department will provide Public Works with a copy of the receipt. Once the payment is received by District Court, the easements belong to the City. If property owners contact the City for their payment, they should be directed to collect their award from the Clerk of the District Court of Johnson County.

The Law Department will also obtain a certified copy of the Appraisers Report and forward it to the Contract Specialist. Contract Specialist will file this copy with Johnson County Records and Tax Department. Once a file-stamped copy is received, the Contract Specialist will provide a copy to Law and to the technician who maintains the easements.
