LOG NAME: 60WWDIVERSION-GAS RELOCATIONS
SUBJECT
Authorize Execution of a Reimbursement Agreement with Barnett Gathering LLC, in the Amount of $85,000.00 for a Gas Pipeline Abandonment to
Accommodate the Wastewater Diversion from East of Eagle Mountain Lake Drainage Basin to Big Fossil Creek Drainage Basin Project and
Adopt Appropriation Ordinance (COUNCIL DISTRICT 7)
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Adopt the attached appropriation ordinance increasing appropriations in the Water and Sewer Capital Projects Fund in the amount of
$85,000.00 from available funds; and
2. Authorize the execution of a Reimbursement Agreement with Barnett Gathering LLC, in the amount of $85,000.00 for two gas
pipeline abandonments to accommodate the Wastewater Diversion from East of Eagle Mountain Lake Drainage Basin to Big Fossil Project
(City Project No. C01309).
DISCUSSION:
The City's Wastewater Diversion from East of Eagle Mountain Lake Drainage Basin to Big Fossil Creek Drainage Basin Project conflicts with the
existing gas pipeline. In order for the City to construct its project, the gas pipeline must be lowered or abandoned. The City is responsible for these
costs. Barnett Gathering LLC, has agreed to abandon the conflicting gas pipelines and the Reimbursement Agreement is necessary to allow
reimbursement of the total cost of $85,000.00. Construction for relocation of the gas pipelines is anticipated to commence in October 2019.
