Staying aligned with International’s mission, Region 2 is also working to “empower professionals by elevating

Chapter 36– Kim Heibert, Coordinator
1. Presentation Title: Utility Coordination & Customer Satisfaction
Abstract: What does Utility Coordination have to do with Customer Focus? Have we lost sight of the end use customer?
Does it always have to be about budget or can we focus on our customers for a change? "Utility Coordination and
Customer Satisfaction" is a module that focuses on the processes involving utility coordination and how it affects our end
use customer. Customer satisfaction and focus could be our key to success if we just look outside our box! This module
interacts with attendees at the Region 2 IRWA conference and may open eyes as to how often the middleman gets caught
in the "middle" or placed in uncomfortable spots of negotiation. In the end, our customers are our most important asset.
2. Presentation Title: What is the difference in SUE, Utility Coordination, and Utility Engineering?
Abstract: Ever wonder what that Subsurface Utility Engineering (SUE) was? What is the difference between SUE,
Utility Coordination, and Utility Engineering, and how does ROW enter the picture? When do you need a SUE provider, a
Utility Coordinator, or a Utility Engineer? This session will discuss the roles and responsibilities of the many participants
involved in the the placement and relocation of utility facilities on transportation projects and when their services are
required. Don't let utilities ruin your project!

…Today, obviously, the consumers are not very tied with their utilities because they have very little interaction.
But in order to influence me as a consumer, to make large financial decisions like putting solar on my roof, or
me buying an electric vehicle or smaller ones buying a thermostat... in all of these scenarios a utility has to have
more engagement or trust building with me. Besides the partnership and product placement, I think this is the
most important part that utilities have to accomplish. by Abhay Gupta, CEO and Founder, Bidgely

Presentation Title 1: Relocation: Understand the Interpretation
Abstract 1: In this session, we will provide an overview of case study relocation projects and situations and how the
Uniform Act is applied. Best practices, and policies will be discussed by relocation professionals and be available to
provide insight as to how FHWA and TxDOT handle complicated relocation challenges.
Presentation Title 2: US 181: Harbor Bridge and the Hillcrest Neighborhood Relocation Program
Abstract 2: The US 181 Harbor Bridge project will replace the existing bridge over the Corpus Christi Ship Channel. In
March 2015, a Title VI complaint was filed with the FHWA alleging that appropriate consultation with the community for
alternative analysis and mitigation was not completed and the Hillcrest neighborhood had suffered discrimination for
decades due to its location by the Port, the Harbor Bridge and the refineries. FHWA and TxDOT entered into a Voluntary
Resolution Agreement to voluntarily relocate property owners and tenants at their request from the Hillcrest neighborhood
over a three year period to comparable homes in the Corpus Christi area. The offer for voluntary relocation as a Title VI
mitigation is the first of its kind in the country and will be closely watched by other Departments of Transportation and
civil rights advocates. This presentation will explain the acquisition and relocation program and the unique way the
Uniform Act is being utilized for mitigation purposes.

Chapter43 – Greg Spicer, Coordinator
Presentation Title: Right of Way FEED/Feasibility Studies for Pipeline Projects
Abstract: Right of Way Service Providers and operating company ROW personnel are becoming more involved in the
pre-planning for major pipeline projects. This phenomenon is understandable due to the need by operating companies to
manage budget in times of financial uncertainty in the oil and gas industry. Some of the ROW issues which are typically
evaluated during the FEED (Front End Engineering Design) or feasibility studies are route selection, detailed project
timelines (Gantt charts, etc.), cost for acquisition of land rights, cost of right of way services, adversarial potential,
identification of owners along the proposed route, availability of eminent domain and the risk factors associated with each
of these. This presentation will discuss best practices for developing these various aspects of FEED and feasibility studies
