  • Abstract:
    Each year, the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) issues thousands of approvals that enable new ; utility installations to occupy the state right of way (ROW). The current utility installation review process ; relies on the physical delivery of an application package to a TxDOT district office that includes a notice of ; proposed installation and supporting documentation depicting the location and characteristics of the proposed ; installation. The review process typically includes several offices at the district and, as needed, ; communication exchanges with installation owner applicants for additional clarifications and/or ; documentation. In its current structure, the utility installation review process is paper and labor intensive. It ; is also not appropriate for supporting the long-term goal of helping to maintain a reliable inventory of utility ; installations on the state ROW. ; This report describes the development and implementation of a web-based system that automates the ; submission, review, approval, construction, and archival of utility installation requests at TxDOT. The ; system, called the Utility Installation Review (UIR) system, enables users to submit and process installation ; requests online, including supporting documentation such as design and construction drawings. The system ; also includes an online geographic information system (GIS)-based interface that enables users to locate and ; query proposed installation requests using an interactive map. The system includes tabular and GIS-based ; reporting options. This report also summarizes the results of an extensive testing phase at four TxDOT ; districts: San Antonio, Pharr, Bryan, and Fort Worth, which included the participation of a large number of ; utility companies and operators.
