Construction Ordinance - Loras College
Geothermal System
INTRODUCTION
The following is in response to a January 29, 2001 request of Loras College to
utilize public right-of-way to install a water supply line for their geothermal system
for its new Academic Resource Center.
DISCUSSION
Loras College is in need to relocate a geothermal well from its original location at
the site of the Academic Resource Center facility to their parking lot abutting Alta
Vista and Vernon Street, thereby requiring the relocation of their existing water
supply line. This relocation consists of crossing Alta Vista with a 10" DIP water
supply line.
All proper documentation has been submitted, which includes the completed
construction ordinance, letter of request, drawings and certificate of insurance
naming the City as an additional insured. The plans have been reviewed and
approved by Engineering Division, DNR, City Water Department and Building
Safety.
RECOMMENDATION
The construction ordinance provides for a revocable permit and further requires
Loras College to assume all liability, defend the City, and hold the City harmless of
any claims that may result from the construction of the geothermal system within
the City right-of-way.
ACTION TO BE TAKEN
The City Council is requested to approve the recommendation and to adopt the
attached ordinance approving the construction of the geothermal system in the
public right-of-way.
