CR 2000-112 Approve Easement Agreement, Canadian Pacific Railway, Thermotech Storm Sewer Project• June 29, 2000
•
•
Proposed Action.
Staff recommends adoption of the following motion: Move that Council approve a Canadian Pacific
Railway easement in consideration of $26,800.00 and associated costs of $10,000.00 as it regards the
Thermotech Storm Sewer Project, Project 99 -09.
Overview.
The City is about to undertake a storm sewer project adjacent to the Thermotech building in south
Hopkins. The new pipe will provide an outlet to storage ponds west of Thermotech and north of the C
and P Railway corridor (formerly Soo Line) with outfall into Nine Mile Creek. The project is located
almost entirely on C and P property and a utility easement is therefore required. C and P has drafted an
easement granting rights to the City in consideration of payment of $26,800.
Primary Issues to Consider.
• Terms of the easement
C and P Railway grants the City a ten -foot utility easement for the installation of a 36 -inch
storm sewer pipe. The City is given the right to enter onto C and P right -of -way to maintain the
pipe. The easement contains standard indemnification language concerning the City's
obligation to C and P.
• Location
See attached aerial photo map.
• Cost
C and P Railway requires payment of $26,800.00 as consideration. The agreement requires
covering C and P's costs for a flagman during construction. The consultant estimates this cost
at $10,000.00. This is an additional cost of $36,800 to the contract. This places construction
costs at approximately $135,000, still well below the budgeted $240,000.
