Cobre Valley Regional Medical Center Salt River Project (SRP) Line Relocation Easement Request

Background Information

Cobre Valley Regional Medical Center (CVRMC) has plans for expansion to include wound care and cardiology, while also modernizing the existing 1967 medical facility to meet the new industry standards including private rooms.

Evaluation

As part of the expansion process, CVRMC is proposing to relocate the Salt River Project (SRP) electrical line to the edge of the hospital's property using option #3 on the attached drawing (green line), which is attachment number 4 to this agenda item.

Conclusion

In order to move forward with this relocation, CVRMC requires that Gila County grant SRP a 50' prior rights easement to maintain their line. This line relocation is on the critical path and SRP will not begin design for the line relocation until CVRMC provides them with a letter stating the County's intent to grant the easement.

Recommendation

Gila County Public Works recommends that the Gila County Board of Supervisors approve Public Works to move forward with a grant of easement to SRP with the following conditions: 1) Issuance of a floodplain permit by Gila County in accordance with the Gila County Floodplain Management Ordinance; 2) review and approval of the design of any structures or supports in the floodway; and 3) assurances that any structure or activity does not alter the current floodway boundaries.

The Consent to Use of Easement Agreement will be presented to the Board of Supervisors (BOS) for the Chairman's signature as a Consent Agenda item at a future BOS meeting.

Suggested Motion

Information/Discussion/Action authorizing Public Works to prepare a Consent to Use of Easement Agreement between Gila County and Salt River Project (SRP) in order to grant Salt River Project 25 feet of the easement desired for the power line relocation sought by Cobre Valley Regional Medical Center for their facility expansion with the following conditions: 1) Issuance of a floodplain permit by Gila County in accordance with the Gila County Floodplain Management Ordinance; 2) review and approval of the design of any structures or supports in the floodway; and 3) assurances that any structure or activity does not alter the current floodway boundaries.
