BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
REVIEW/WORK SESSION REQUEST
RE: Xcel Energy Utility Agreement for WCR 23/SH 392 Intersection Improvements
DEPARTMENT: PUBLIC WORKS DATE: 5/23/13
PERSON REQUESTING: Wayne Howard. P.E. County Engineer
Brief description of the problem/issue:
The proposed road widening/improvements at WCR 23 and SH 392 will impact some existing Xcel Energy
facilities currently located in an existing private easement. The roadway construction will require relocating an
existing 4" valve set and approximately 700' of 4" steel gas transmission line. Xcel Energy has agreed to
perform this work at the project expense. This Utility Agreement entails reimbursement of the estimated costs
in the amount of $184,000.00.
These utility relocation costs are large because the work requires installing temporary bypass valves and
facilities so Xcel Energy can maintain the flow of gas during construction. Given these conditions, PW believes
the costs are reasonable and eligible for reimbursement utilizing the approved grant funds being administered
by CDOT. Weld County funds will be used to pay for approximately 20% of these utility relocation costs.
Xcel Energy typically requires CDOT to pay 80% of the estimated costs up front, and they may require this
from Weld County also.
What options exist for the Board:
The Board can choose to sign or not to sign the attached Utility Agreement. The project cannot be completed
without relocating the Xcel Energy facilities as described on the drawings attached to the Utility Agreement. If
the Utility Agreement is approved, Xcel Energy will perform the relocation work shortly afterwards.
Recommendation to the Board:
Public Works recommends signing the Utility Agreement with Xcel Energy.

to track the passing pig) , i.e. road crossings, water crossings, PI's, valve sets,
etc.(where easily accessible) to set your above ground marker (AGM) (equipment
detected by passing pig and noted on data log); Survey (establish Lat/Long) each
AGM location, so these points become a matter of record and maintained in PDMS.
Vendor Questionnaire: This is to be completed by Xcel/Contract engineering,
providing the pigging vendor with key information about the pipeline to be inspected.
Pigging Parameters: Identify operating pressures and flowrate parameters in order
to achieve a - 5-6 mph pig speed.

Attachments: Public Service Agreement 6-28-13.pdf
I apologize (to Cheryl). I just checked my files and I have a signed version of this agreement. It was signed by Rick Grady
on 6/28/13. I think the confusion is the signed version is an "amended agreement" which took the place of the original
agreement.
Attached is a scanned version of the "amended agreement". We don't need a signed version of the original one.
