Letter from Kinder Morgan
SUMMARY & RECOMMENDATION
The upcoming construction of Canada Road and Utilities will require pipeline adjustments to
accommodate proposed storm sewer and utility installations. Kinder Morgan and the City have
previously agreed that the City of La Porte would be responsible for 65.58% of the cost (see attached
letter dated July 29,2002). The total cost to adjust the two pipelines was estimated at $692,302, or
$454,012 as La Porte's share. The Agreement was never executed due to funding questions and the lack
of right of way.
The City has recently acquired all rights of way in the southern portion of the Project, and has identified
funding sources, including participation by Harris County. Kinder Morgan was requested to update the
cost estimate and provide a new agreement (attached). The new estimate totals $787,315, with La Porte's
share at $516,321.
Once the adjustment is complete, the actual cost will be determined, and the City will be required to pay
65.58% of the cost. Although Harris County has agreed, in principal, to participate in the Project, there is
no agreement at this time.
Action Required bv Council: Approve ordinance authorizing the City Manager to execute a Pipeline
Adjustment Agreement with Kinder Morgan Tejas Pipeline, L.P. for $516,321.
