Case 6–1
Moren Corporation (A)
Moren Corporation was building three additional generation
stations to serve its rapidly expanding energy market. To
link these stations with a total area grid, a new method of car-
rying the power lines using ornamental tubular poles instead
of towers had been adopted. Moren had had no previous op-
erating experience with poles and decided to subcontract the
design engineering, fabrication, and erection of the new line.
For the first phase of engineering design, Mr. Carter,
the vice president of supply, faced the responsibility of de-
ciding with which supplier the business was to be placed
after his staff had developed the information needed. He
was aware that Moren had only three years in which to
complete the entire project, and yet he had to ensure high-
quality work.

Fairgrounds Roadway Widening Public Hearing (March 17, 2015)City of Midland
The purpose of this hearing was to present the planned improvements to Fairgrounds Road from State Loop (SL) 250 to Pecan Avenue in the City of Midland, Midland County, Texas, and to receive public comment. Displays will be available for viewing at 6:00 p.m. with the formal hearing commencing at 7:00 p.m.
The existing facility consists of one 12-foot travel lane in each direction with no shoulders. The existing right-of-way (ROW) width varies from approximately 62 feet south of Wadley Avenue to 77 feet historically used for the roadway north of Wadley Avenue.
The proposed project would widen Fairgrounds Road from two lanes to five lanes. South of Wadley Avenue, Fairgrounds Road would consist of one 11-foot lane and one 14-foot shared use lane in each direction and an 11-foot continuous center left-turn lane. There would be five-foot wide sidewalks on each side of the roadway. North of Wadley Avenue, Fairgrounds Road would consist of two 12-foot lanes in each direction with a 12-foot continuous center left-turn lane. An eight-foot bike/pedestrian trail would be constructed on the west side of the roadway. The length of the proposed project is approximately 1.5 miles. The proposed typical ROW width would vary from approximately 80 feet south of Wadley Avenue to approximately 129.5 feet north of Wadley Avenue. The proposed improvements would require approximately 11.4 acres of additional ROW, of which, 10.9 acres are already owned by the City of Midland. The proposed project would not result in any residential relocations or commercial displacements. Information about the tentative schedule for ROW acquisition and construction may be obtained from the City of Midland.
As part of this project, the City of Midland is considering a Section 4(f) de minimis impact determination for impacts to F.T. Hogan Park (Hogan Park). An approximate 10.9 acre strip of land generally located east of Hogan Park Golf Course from Wadley Avenue to Loop 250 would be required for permanent incorporation into the proposed transportation facility. A Section 4(f) de minimis finding means that the proposed project would not adversely affect the activities, features, or attributes that qualify Hogan Park for protection under Section 4(f). The City of Midland and TxDOT will consider comments received during this Public Hearing before making a final Section 4(f) de minimis determination.
