M.\Fr,ncie\AGENDA memos\AgendaMIkeBedell-1.docx 2014-0542 BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS REVIEW/WORK SESSION REQUEST RE: WCR 49 Extension—DCP Midstream Utility Relocation Agreement DEPARTMENT: PUBLIC WORKS DATE: 2/18/2014 PERSON(S)REQUESTING: Wayne Howard(County Engineer).Michael Bedell(Senior Engineer) Brief description of the problem/issue: The proposed new roadway going north from the WCR 49/SH 34 intersection will impact an existing 6" DCP gas pipeline and associated smaller feeder pipelines that are currently located within a private utility easement. The existing 6"gas pipeline and associated easement was constructed by DCP in 1984. DCP,Atkins(roadway designer), and Public Works staff believe this old gas pipeline should be relocated prior to the new concrete roadway being constructed because of its age and condition. Moving the proposed new roadway alignment would be far more costly than moving the pipeline. DCP has agreed to perform this work and relocate their pipeline into a new easement area approximately 150 feet east of the present location. This Utility Agreement(see attached)entails reimbursement of the estimated costs in the amount of$442,504.49. The DOLA Grant Phase IA can be used for eligible portions of this utility relocation cost. Estimated utility relocation expenses are included in the overall project budget(see attached). What options exist for the Board: The Board can choose to approve or not approve the attached Utility Agreement. If approved, DCP plans to start this relocation work in March,2014. If not approved,the WCR 49 Extension construction may be delayed or need to be redesigned. Recommendation to the Board: Public Works recommendsapproval of the Utility Agreement. This DCPgas pipeline relocation is the largest g p p g and most expensive utility relocation associated with the project and is critical towards keeping the project moving forward. The pipeline relocation needs to be completed by mid-April to avoid conflicts with farming operations in the area.
