Odlo City Manager RECOMMENDATION: DATE FILE SUBJECT REFERENCES ENCLOSURES Commission Agenda It is recommended that the attached ordinance granting to Peoples Gas System, Inc., its successors and assigns a gas franchise; imposing provisions and conditions relating thereto; containing a repealer provision, severability clause, and an effective date, be approved. BACKGROUND -- Ordinance 6917 of September, 1961 granted to Florida Gas Utilities Companies a gas franchise for thirty years, which was later assigned to Peoples Gas System by Ordinance 8954 of June 1979. It is recommended that a new gas franchise agreement be granted to Peoples Gas System, Inc., for an original period of 15 years with three renewal options for 5-year periods, at the option of both parties. The new franchise fee of 6%, compared with 3% for the old agreement, is expected to produce approximately $700,000 in annual revenues to the City. In addition, the City would have the right to increase the franchise fee if Peoples Gas were to agree to pay more than a 6% franchise fee to any local government with a population in excess of 50,000. Other benefits to the City provided by this new agreement are: . New agreement is non-exclusive. New main pipe lines will be laid at least 4 feet, and lateral pipe lines not less than 3 feet, below street grade. Previous requirements were 2 feet and 18 inches for main and lateral pipes, respectively. Commercial insurance requirements have been increased from $1,000,000 to $5,000,000. Performance bond has been increased from $100,000 to $500,000. 10335 a -( i 'tiE vL(ri ;j w , ° 1 ,-S t MIAMI REVIEW' i Published Daily except Saturday, Sunday and Legal Holidays Miami, Dade County, Florida.
