SUBJECT: Florida Gas Transmission Encroachment Agreement - Amendment 1
Indian River County Fire Station 7 (IRC-1911)
__________________________________________________________________
BACKGROUND
Emergency Management Services currently has Fire Station 7 under construction and County staff is overseeing administration of the Contract. Florida Gas Transmission Company, LLC (FGT) is the holder of an easement in it which has constructed, currently operates and maintains natural gas pipelines and related subsurface appurtenances across the lands. To gain access to the fire station property and install utility lines, a paved road with curbing and a sidewalk, FGT entered into an Encroachment Agreement with the County to construct those improvements within the FGT easement area.
Recently, FGT has requested to amend the Encroachment Agreement to install a six-foot (6’) high black vinyl clad chain-link fence with two (2), six-foot (6’) wide swing gates. In addition, this amendment will add to the existing drawings with additional revised plan drawings attached hereto and made a part hereof as Exhibit C-1.
