INTRODUCTION
Dubuque
AID- America city

2012
This is in response to a request from Midwest Energy Solutions, representing MF
Enterprises, L.L.C. for the granting of an easement across East 16tn Street to
accommodate a Compressed Natural Gas conduit and piping system between the BP
Station and the proposed convenience store at the south side of East 16th Street.
DISCUSSION
The attached exhibit shows the East 16th Street right -of -way and the proposed crossing
to deliver Compressed Natural Gas (CNG), power and data lines. MF Enterprises,
L.L.C., DBA Kwik Stop /Rainbo Oil Company, has submitted site plans for the
improvements and associated work on the abutting properties for the source and
destination of the CNG.
The construction of the system includes a 12" diameter casing pipe with conduit for 3/"
diameter seamless coiled stainless steel tubes. The working pressure inside the
seamless coiled stainless steel tubes will be 3600 psi. Two smaller conduits for power
and data collection will also be installed. The depth of the proposed casing pipe is
approximately nine feet below the grade of the street with a minimum clearance of 12"
to the sanitary sewer and other existing utilities.
City Engineering has reviewed the drawings for clearances from existing and potential
improvements of city utilities at the proposed easement area.
The proposed piping system will include emergency stop buttons at each dispenser, c-
store and on the equipment.
Midwest Energy Solutions is responsible for paying for the reviews, easement submittal,
publication and recording fees, in the amount of $500.00. The mapping costs are also
the responsibility of Midwest Energy Solutions.
All documents have been reviewed and approved by the City Engineer, Fire
Department, Water Department, Building Services Department, and Planning & Zoning
Department.
RECOMMENDATION
I would recommend that the "Grant of Easement" for private utility for the proposed
Compressed Natural Gas piping system in the public right -of -way of East 16th Street be
forwarded to City Council to be set for public hearing.
ACTION REQUESTED

RE: REQUEST FOR GRANT OF RIGHT OF WAY AND PERMANENT EASEMENT
FOR PRIVATE UTILITY
Dear Mayor and Council Members:
This letter is written to inquire about the possibility of granting a right of way and
permanent easement for private utility in the name of MF Enterprises, DBA Kwik Stop/
Rainbo Oil Company at:
East 16th Street, southeast of the intersection of Kerper Boulevard in the City of
Dubuque, Dubuque County, Iowa.
Midwest Energy Solutions, Inc., General Contractor for Kwik Stop /Rainbo Oil Company,
request a 12' private utility easement across East 16th Street to between Lot 2 of
Wendy's Place and Lot 1 of Bee Branch Subdivision No.2. Please see Exhibit A from
Buesing & Associates Inc. describing the exact location for the 12' easement and cross
sectional detail for depth of the proposed utility lines in relation to existing utilities.
The right of way and permanent easement will be used to run six (6) parallel 3/4"
seamless stainless steel tubes rated to deliver Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) at 3600
psig. Those stainless steel tubes will be also be encased in HPDE conduit within the
maximum of a 24" diameter bored sheath. The easement will also contain two (2) HPDE-
encased low voltage electrical power lines to power emergency shutdown devices and
transmit pulser metering information from the CNG dispenser at the proposed
convenience store station on the South side of the easement to the priority control
equipment at the BP /Amoco station on the North side of the easement.
Midwest Energy Solutions have contacted Buesing & Associates Inc concerning
recommendations for depth placement of the proposed utility lines after locating the
existing utilities across the easement plat. Each party would prefer to locate the 24"
diameter bore below all existing utilities to allow the existing Sanitary Sewer line to be
more accessible within the easement. With the depth of the Sanitary Sewer line and the
distance between the water and gas lines, we propose to place the utlility lines at an
approximate depth of 9' below grade. Please call me at 913.206.1904 if you have
questions.
Thank you for your consideration of this request.
Sincerely,
Sean O'Neill
Director of Operations
