Once the agreement has been signed, please return one signed original back to me so I can provide it to DCP. DCP has an 8 inch gas line that lies under CR 40 on the east side of CR 49. The gas line needs to be relocated as part of the CR 49 project. DCP has contacted the adjacent landowners for easements and those landowners have decided not to sell an easement to DCP. In order to move, DCP has requested to remain in Weld County's Right of Way (ROW). DCP will relocate the gas line from under CR 40 to the north edge of the CR 40 ROW. In a December 12, 2016 work session, staff recommended that DCP be allowed to stay in the ROW for only one reason. Because the adjacent landowners are unwilling to work with DCP, allowing DCP to relocate within the ROW reduces the impacts to the construction schedule. The BOCC provided staff with direction to proceed with a non-exclusive license agreement (NELA) for DCP. 2017-0170 Page I of I M:\ -Active Projects\ Strategic Corridor\WC'R 49 ('orridor\Utilities\DCPINELA CO CR 40 Memo to C FR I-4-17.docx NONEXCLUSIVE LICENSE AGREEMENT FOR THE CONSTRUCTION, MAINTENANCE, AND/OR USE OF OIL AND GAS PIPELINE WITHIN WELD COUNTY ROAD 40 RIGHT OF WAY THIS NONEXCLUSIVE LICENSE AGREEMENT made and entered into this I/ day of January, 2017, by and between WELD COUNTY, COLORADO, through the Board of County Commissioners of Weld County, Colorado, whose address is 1150 O Street, Greeley, Colorado 80631, as First Party, and DCP MIDSTREAM, LP, as Second Party whose address is 370 17th St, Suite 2500, Denver, CO 80202, Attention Legal Department.
