Title
Salt River Project Electrical Facilities Relocation Agreement for Grand Canalscape - ST87600114 (Ordinance S-44825)
Description
Request to authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to execute a Facility Relocation Agreement with Salt River Project (SRP) to facilitate City of Phoenix Project - Grand Canalscape Phase 2, Segment 2, Grand Canal 16th to 36th Street (ST87600114). There is no cost to the City to execute this agreement.
Report
Summary
SRP currently has electrical facilities along the Grand Canal that are in conflict with the proposed multi-use path of the Grand Canalscape Project. The SRP electrical facilities will be relocated to 26th Street north of the Grand Canal.
A Facilities Relocation Agreement (FRA) will be executed to include addressing potential future relocation costs, if future relocation of the electrical facilities is caused by a City project. Because the project uses SRP Aesthetics Funds to underground the electrical facilities, the FRA states that the City will pay 100 percent of any potential future relocation costs. The FRA will contain additional terms and conditions deemed necessary and appropriate to facilitate future electrical relocations.
Further request the City Council to grant an exception pursuant to Phoenix City Code section 42-20 to authorize indemnification and assumption of liability provisions that otherwise would be prohibited by Phoenix City Code section 42-18.
Public Outreach
