Title

Salt River Project Facility Relocation Agreement - Camelback Road: Medlock Drive to 41st Street - Salt River Project Aesthetics (Ordinance S-47889)

 

Description

Request to authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to enter into a Facility Relocation Agreement with Salt River Project for electrical facilities along Camelback Road from Medlock Drive to 41st Street. 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.

 

Report

Summary

Salt River Project (SRP) currently has overhead electrical facilities on Camelback Road from Medlock Drive to 41st Street, which will be relocated underground in accordance with an approved SRP Aesthetics Road Project. SRP Municipal Aesthetics Program funding is being used to convert the overhead electrical facilities to underground.

 

A Facility Relocation Agreement (FRA) will be executed to include addressing potential future relocation costs if future relocation of underground electrical facilities is caused by a City project. Because the project uses SRP Municipal Aesthetics Program funds to underground the existing electrical facilities, the FRA states 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.

 

Financial Impact

There is no financial impact to the City of Phoenix.
