County Engineer Brief description of the problem/issue: The proposed road widening/improvements at CR 23 and SH' 3 will impact an existing DCP gas pipeline that is currently located just outside of the existing ROW in a private easement. This impact will require DCP to relocate the pipeline about 50' north outside of the new ROW. DCP has agreed to perform this work at the projects expense which will include a new easement at the new location. This Utility Agreement entails reimbursement of the estimated costs in the amount of $72,324.20, plus the private easement costs. The County plans to use grant -matching funds (County, Windsor, or Severance) to acquire the right-of-way and easements for this project. The utility relocation costs associated with the project are eligible for reimbursement utilizing the approved grant funds from CDOT. What options exist for the Board: The Board can choose to sign or not to sign the attached Utility Agreement. The project cannot proceed without relocating the DCP gas line as it is in conflict with the road improvements. If the Utility Agreement is approved, DCP will perform the relocation work will proceed shortly after the private easement has been acquired. Recommendation to the Board: Public Works recommends signing the Utility Agreement with DCP Midstream. They are willing to begin the work as soon as we have cleared the ROW process and avoid project scheduling conflicts. William F. Garcia, Chair Douglas Rademacher Sean P.
