Agenda Item Brief: The North Truckee Drain Relocation Phase 2 Project will require various electrical utility relocations to accommodate the new drainage infrastructure. NV Energy (NVE) has identified electrical service facilities requiring relocation. As the facilities being relocated are within Public Utility Easements (PUE), the relocation costs are the responsibility of the City of Sparks. A Facilities Relocation Agreement has been prepared for payment of these costs by the City to NVE, and is presented for consideration. Staff recommends approval.
Background: The North Truckee Drain Relocation Phase 2 Project impacts various utility facilities. During the course of design, Truckee Meadows Water Authority (TMWA), Nevada Energy (NVE), Charter, AT&T, Verizon, and other known utility companies were notified and coordination ensued to ensure relocation needs were determined and properly included. The majority of utility relocations were included in the Phase 1 project; electrical facilities impacted with the Phase 2 project were not included due to impacts to private property. Cost to relocate facilities located with Easements is not eligible for reimbursement, and as such the City must pay to relocate those facilities located as such. Negotiations with NVE have resulted in a Facility Relocation Agreement for electrical facilities impacted by Phase 2. Scope of work included in this Adjustment Agreement includes removal and relocation of an existing pole, removal of above and below ground conductors, and installation of new underground conductors and a vault structure. All facilities are located within Public Utility Easements outside of Right-of-Way; as such the cost to perform the work is the responsibility of the City of Sparks. Total estimated cost to the City is $92,021. Staff recommends approval.
Analysis: Approval of the presented Agreement for the Adjustment of Utility Facilities will allow NVE to recuperate costs incurred in relocating infrastructure owned by NVE and located outside of City Right-of-Way.
Alternatives: 1. City Council could approve the Agreement for Adjustment of Utility Facilities as outlined by Staff. 2. City Council could reject the Agreement for Adjustment of Utility Facilities and provide direction to the City Manager.
Recommended Motion: I move to approve an Agreement for the Adjustment of Utility Facilities for Phase 2 of the North Truckee Drain Relocation Project with NV Energy in the amount of $92,021.
