Item #
Date: March 7, 1989
SUBJECT:. Approval of easement and agreement for relocation with U.S.
West.
BACKGROUND:
U.S. West has a major switchgear installation at the southeast corner of
6th and Clark. This equipment is located on a 6'x6' easement obtained
from the Ames School District some years ago. The site work related to
the City Hall project necessitates the relocation of the switch.
Because of the easement rights held by U.S. West, the cost of the reloca-
tion must be paid by the City. We must also provide a new 61x6' easement
if relocation is completed.
The cost of the relocation is $9,050. This fee can be allocated from the
$250,000 construction contingency for the City Hall project.
ALTERNATIVES
1. Approve the relocation agreement and the new 6'x6' easement.
2. Reject the agreement which will necessitate redesign of the parking
lot with the loss of 4 parking spaces.
MANAGER'S RECOMMENDED ACTION:
It is recommended by the City Manager that the City Council accept the
agreement for relocation of the U.S. West switch at a cost of $9,050.00 and
approve the new 6'x6' easement.
