MEETING
INFORMATION
MEETING DATE:
TOWN OF MARANA
February 2, 2007
AGENDA ITEM:
1.3
TO: MAYOR AND COUNCIL
FROM: Barbara Johnson, Director of Public Works
SUBJECT: Resolution No. 2007-23: Relating to Real Estate; approving and
authorizing the Director of Public Works to execute the Pipeline
Adjustment Agreement and grant a new easement with EI Paso
Natural Gas Company as needed for the Tangerine Farms Road,
Project No. 2004-36.
DISCUSSION
The Tangerine Farms Road (Moore Road to Interstate 10) Marana Project No. 2004-36, Road-
way and Drainage Improvements plans were accepted by the Town of Marana on July 21, 2006.
The Notice to Proceed for the construction of Tangerine Farms Road, Project No. 2004-36, was
issued to Hunter Contracting on January 16, 2007.
A portion of Tangerine Farms Road, Project No. 2004-36, crosses an El Paso Natural Gas (El
Paso) facility contained in a blanket easement. As a part of the project, the existing El Paso line
must be lowered to allow construction of the storm drain system for the roadway project. The
Pipeline Adjustment Agreement obligates the Town of Marana to pay the relocation costs in-
curred by El Paso as needed to complete construction of the Tangerine Farms Road.
During negotiations with El Paso for the lowering of their line, it was also determined that a
more defined easement is desired by all parties. Therefore, the Agreement does include the re-
lease of the blanket easement as it exists under the public rights-of-way in exchange for a clearly
defined area crossing the new roadway. The attached Agreement is in accordance with El Paso's
policies and procedures for construction activities over their facilities.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends adoption of Resolution No. 2007-23, approving and authorizing execution of
the Pipeline Adjustment Agreement with El Paso Natural Gas Company.

County, Arizona hereinafter referred to as "Pipeline".
WHEREAS, Marana has made a request that EI Paso lower a certain portion of Line 1007 where
the Pipeline exists under the Road to accommodate certain appurtenant drainage improvements which
are a part of the design of the Road.
WHERAS, EI Paso is also the holder of certain undefined easement rights across Section 35
where the Road will be located.
WHEREAS, Marana has submitted drawings specifying where the Road will be placed in Section
35 and Marana continues to recognize EI Paso's continuing easement rights.
WHEREAS, EI Paso agrees to lower its pipeline to accommodate the Road subject to Marana

NOW THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the mutual benefits to all parties, it is understood
and agreed as follows:

the Road for an estimated cost of $ 97,000.00, as shown on attached "Exhibit A"
(hereafter referred to as the "Project").
2. Marana agrees to pay in advance to EI Paso one hundred percent (100%) of the
estimated Project costs ("Estimated Payment"). The Estimated Payment consists of EI
Paso's good faith estimate of all actual costs EI Paso will incur in performing the Project,
including normal overhead costs.
3. Regardless of Marana's Estimated Payment, Marana shall reimburse EI Paso for all
actual costs incurred, including but not limited to third party out of pocket expenses,
incurred by EI Paso in the Project.
4. EI Paso, upon receipt of a fully executed original of this Agreement, and the Estimated

5. Prior to EI Paso's Project commencement, Marana agrees to provide EI Paso with a
current title report or conveyance document listing the subject property's record title
ownership.
6. Marana hereby agrees to allow EI Paso the use of a portion of their property as a
temporary construction easement defined as a strip of land 20 feet in width adjacent and
contiguous to the granted easement either in whole or in part on each side of the
easement during the Project construction period, to use for the purposes incidental to
construction, the right to use the strip of land ceasing and being terminated at the

for EI Paso to perform the Project.
7. Marana agrees to grant EI Paso a new Right of Way and Easement 60 feet in width more

West half of Section 35, Township 11 South Range 11 East.
8. Marana, its successors and assigns, agrees to absorb all actual costs for the restoration

landscaping; provided that EI Paso uses commercially reasonable efforts to minimize any
damage or destruction of property and provided further that EI Paso shall be solely liable
for any negligent or willful misconduct by EI Paso, its employees, agents or contractors.
9. EI Paso will present Marana the final invoice for actual costs, including normal overhead
costs, incurred for the Project, by June 30, 2007. Marana shall have a right to audit EI
Paso's accounting for a period of one year from the date of EI Paso's invoice. In the
event that actual costs exceed the Estimated Payment, Marana agrees to pay the
difference to EI Paso within 30 days from its invoice receipt. If Marana fails to make
payment for the difference within the said thirty (30) day period, interest shall accrue on
the unpaid portion of the billing(s) at the then-applicable Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission ("FERC") refund interest rate as specified in Section 154.501(d) of the FERC
regulations. In the event that EI Paso owes Marana a refund of amounts paid, EI Paso
agrees to make that refund to the Marana within thirty (30) days after providing the
accounting to Marana. If EI Paso fails to make payment for the refund within the said
thirty (30) day period, interest shall accrue on the refund at the then-applicable Federal
Energy Regulatory Commission ("FERC") refund interest rate as specified in
Section 154.501(d) of the FERC regulations.
10. EI Paso shall notify Marana of the Project's completion. Marana may then proceed to
commence its construction activities across or within the effected right-of-way and
easement. Marana's construction activities shall incorporate EI Paso's requirements, if
any, made upon its review of Marana's drawings, work plan or development plan.
11. In addition to all other rules and regulations, including, but not limited to, the State of
Arizona's Blue Stake requirements, Marana hereby agrees to notify EI Paso's Tucson
