Title
Approving a work authorization with Seven Arrows Land Staff, LLC in the amount of $232,700 for right-of-way and appraisal services associated with the Lower New Sweden Interceptor Project, and authorizing the City Manager to execute the same.
Summary
The proposed agenda item requests approval of a Work Authorization with Seven Arrows Land Staff, LLC (7 Arrows) staff to provide right-of-way and appraisal services for the Lower New Sweden Interceptor Project.
On November 12, 2025, City Council approved a professional services agreement with Miller Gray LLC, to provide preliminary engineering services. This project was identified in the Wastewater Master Plan Project No. WW3504, approximately 12,000LF pf 36-Inch gravity wastewater interceptor located along an unnamed tributary to Cottonwood Creek within the City’s Cottonwood West Sewershed. It goes from New Sweden Church Rd, east of FM 973, to a point approximately 2,000 feet southeast of the intersection of Cele Rd & Cameron Rd. The consultants are currently progressing toward completion of the preliminary engineering report of 30% design scheduled for August 2026. The alignment identified fourteen (14) parcels of land within the project limits. At this time, it is critical to begin the property acquisition coordination with the effected property owners and the project team to maintain the project schedule.
The proposed work authorization includes a comprehensive list of services related to the necessary property acquisition on eleven parcels of land for the project. The scope of work includes:
1. Obtain right-of-entries
2. Maintain administrative documents and assist with recordation of easements
3. Property record research
4. Appraisal reports
5. Owner negotiations
6. Project management
If litigation work must be completed additional services will be negotiated.
Seven Arrows Land Staff, LLC remains a valuable partner to the city, collaborating closely on the City’s right-of-way acquisition projects.
