[bouldercouncilhotline] Hotline: Boulder Junction Easements (Agenda Item 3.H)

[cmosupport at bouldercolorado.gov]

Sender: Ferro, Charles

Council Member Plass:
Thanks for your question at the Council Agenda Committee meeting this morning regarding the Boulder Junction easements.

New easements will be dedicated as part of the attached Construction & Maintenance Agreement (C&M) between the City and the Burlington Northern and Santa Fe railroad
 (BNSF) (referenced on pg. 184 of your packet). BNSF is currently processing the dedication of 3 easement agreements, one of which is for the replacement easement B (as required by the C&M). 

The City has provided payment for the easement acquisition and BNSF has acknowledged that they have all the necessary materials to complete their process. Staff inquired
 two weeks ago regarding BNSF�s expected timing for the easement dedications. Per the attached email, it is estimated that it will take approximately 30 days, well in advance of the effective date for the proposed vacations (early May).

 
Please feel free to contact Chandler Van Schaack at 303-441-3137 or via email at
vanschaackC at bouldercolorado.gov with any additional questions.
 
Sincerely,
Charles

Alex,
 
I submitted the file to my management team late last week.  That being said, the easements should be signed in approximately 30 days (the file is reviews 3 times before it is presented to BNSF).  Once executed,
 the Title and Escrow team will contact you and send the originals.
 
In the meantime, please call or e-mail me with any questions.  I appreciate your efforts as well!

Matt,
 
I am ccing a staff member in our Planning and one in our Transportation Dept related to items in support of the vacation process that they are working on.  Also attached a color scan of the final C&M to compliment
 the B/W scan I sent you last week.  
 
What is the expected timeline for the three easement agreements and three memorandums of easements execution?  As you are aware, we have already provided the check for the new easements acquisitions, so would
 assume that once executed, you would send us our originals at that time?  Please confirm.
 
We are progressing on the related vacations, with target effective date in early May, due to required multiple City Council readings/approvals of the vacation ordinance and supporting process.  As you are aware,
 this expected City process timeline was the reason for extending the deadline on page 89 of the attached C&M to 90 days (from 30 days initially) regarding the requirements in the agreement related to the vacations listed in the 4th paragraph under
 Recitals (pg 1 of pdf), and Article III (17) (pg 8 of pdf).  We want to make sure that we synchronize the easement vacations as soon as possible following receipt of the new easement dedications, and be able to explain in our Council memo the sequencing of
 this.  
 
Please let us know any feedback or thoughts on how this would typically be timed from your perspective?
 
Thanks again for all you support on these ROW items Matt.  Your and Walt�s efforts on these matters have been greatly appreciated!
 
Thanks,
Alex

Matt,
 
Per discussion with Andy this morning, please find attached fully executed copy of the C&M Agreement for this project.  I scanned in black and white, due to file size if in color.  I believe the execution of the various three easement agreements
 and memorandum of easements can now be processed by your office.  The check for the amount of the easements was transmitted previously.  I believe we have addressed any outstanding matters on the ROW acquisition component of this.  Please let me know if there
 is anything further you need on this, or if you have any questions.
 
Andy, Walt, Erin, All- thank you for your efforts in gaining completion of this important item!  It is much appreciated as we work to complete new public improvements in this redeveloping part of Boulder.
 
Thanks,
Alex
