The license area consists of public rights -of -way (ROW) and any other real property that Firestone owns, including parkland, open space, or trails. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends Alternative No. 1, approve the resolution approving the MLA with Firestone allowing the TWP to be constructed within the defined license area. BUDGET/STAFF IMPLICATIONS: The total consideration for the MLA is $50,000, as negotiated between the City and Firestone. ALTERNATIVES: 1. Approve the resolution approving the MLA with Firestone. 2. Do not approve the resolution approving the MLA with Firestone or construct the TWP pipeline within the defined license area. This would require substantial realignment of the pipeline and significantly increase the redesign, ROW acquisition, and construction costs. BACKGROUND (ANALYSIS/NEXT STEPS/HISTORY): (includes previous City Council action) As part of ongoing negotiations with Firestone over the past two years for the installation, construction, operation, and maintenance of the TWP pipeline, three agreements were established: 1. The MLA is responsible for the installation, construction, operation, and maintenance of the TWP pipeline and appurtenances through specific properties and Firestone ROW. 2. An Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) for installing, constructing, operating, and maintaining an emergency raw water interconnection between the TWP pipeline and Firestone's water system. DocuSign Envelope ID: F7F25A15-75A8-4CB7-BA58-CD4A7EACB4FD COMMUNICATION PAGE 2 3. An IGA for the lease of a minimum of five cubic feet per second of excess TWP pipeline capacity, subject to the City's capacity needs, for up to 10 years after the pipeline is put into operation, which shall be automatically renewable for succeeding terms of five years each. The City's outreach efforts identified a preferred TWP corridor, and City staff met with Firestone staff to discuss potential pipeline alignments and locations. Firestone staff preferred that the City locate the TWP pipeline along the Weld County Road (WCR) 17 north/south alignment and that the City construct the pipeline outside the county ROW as best possible. The impact to Firestone of the proposed pipeline alignment is shown on Page 3 of this communication and includes one trail crossing and four roadway crossings along the WCR 17 alignment as follows: Zinnia Avenue/WCR 26 Firestone Boulevard/WCR 24 Pinecone Avenue/WCR 20 Grant Avenue/WCR 18 Upon the MLA's full approval, the City will continue coordinating with Firestone to acquire full approval of the proposed crossings through the ROW permit application process. Construction on this segment of the TWP pipeline is anticipated to commence in mid-2024 and be completed in mid-2026.
