MEETING OF APRIL 21, 2015
TO: Mayor and City Council
CITY COUNCIL AGENDA MEMO
THRU: Don Marr, Chief of Staff
Jeremy Pate, Development Services Director
FROM: Chris Brown, City Engineer
DATE: April 3, 2015
SUBJECT: Approval of a Memorandum of Agreement with the University of Arkansas
for placement of a University owned gas service line within City of Fayetteville right of
way.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of a Memorandum of Agreement with the University of Arkansas for
placement of a natural gas service line to be owned, operated, and maintained by the University
of Arkansas in City right of way. This MOA was also reviewed by the Transportation Committee
on March 31St, and the Committee voted to 3-0 recommend approval.
BACKGROUND:
The University of Arkansas is planning a project to install, maintain and operate approximately
5,300 linear feet of 6 -inch high pressure natural gas service line, beginning in the 1500 block of
Nettleship Street and terminating at the University Central Heating Plant located at 870 West
William. Approximately 2,400 linear feet of this natural gas service line is required to be laid
within or cross public right of way along the route.
DISCUSSION:
The City's rights of way, while primarily used for streets and sidewalks, are also used by utility
companies for their facilities. Utility company use of City right of way is governed by franchise
agreements between the City and each utility; these agreements stipulate how the right of way
may be used, and include provisions for relocation of utilities when they interfere with the use of
the right of way by the City.
Similarly, the proposed MOA specifies construction and maintenance requirements for the gas
line to be installed and maintained by the UA, and details relocation responsibilities if the need
arises in the future.
BUDGET/STAFF IMPACT:
None.
