RE: Temporarv Easements for 60th St. Sewer proiect
Dear Mr. Couri:
This letter confirms our conversation of last Friday regarding the ability for Kenco to work within the
County ROWand temporary construction easements obtained by the City for the Highway 19 project.
Since Kenco accepted the recommendations of the City attorney and engineer regarding the time schedule,
and since the bid reflects the time schedule given to Kenco in order to repave 60th Street, Kenco is
requesting the following considerations.
In order to expedite a project which ultimately benefits all the residential land west of highway 19 due to
new trunk and lateral extensions as well as via moving of sewer lift stations, public benefit is proven to
acquire easements to construct a trunk sewer line. Kenco will agree to delay payment receipt for its share of
the ROW acquisition. Kenco accepts the appraisal offered settlement. Center Oaks partnership has
consented t() same scenario. Kenco will Loan the City the money to purchase the Roden and Barthell
permanent and temporary easements. When the Highway 19 project is awarded, Kenco will be reimbursed
the money. Should the Highway 19 project not be awarded and undertaken due to right of way problems,
Kenco will be granted the ability to add the easement acquisition costs to the trunk sewer project via the use
of a reasonable contingency cost. As such, this will readjust the overall area charges projected.
We believe that the ability to maintain an aggressive schedule for the 60th street trunk sewer are in the best
interests of the City. Since the Barthell's bus service provides transportation to the greater community, we
do not believe that delays to their operations are reasonable. At the back end of the construction season, the
ability to pave becomes the critical timing element, so any delays to the front end of the project become
exaggerated at thc.finalcompletion stage.
Please confirm in writing your ability to turn over use of the easements to Kenco. We will be able to
provide the funding within 2 days of notice that payment will occur. Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
Land Development Director
