RELOCATION AND REIMBURSEMENT AGREEMENT
IT IS AGREED this day of 2016, by and between the City of
Waukee, Iowa ("City") and MidAmerican Energy Company ("MidAmerican") as follows:
Recitals
A WHEREAS, as part of City's planned reconstruction of Alice's Road between University
Avenue and NE Horizon Drive, City desires that MidAmerican relocate structures and
related facilities of a MidAmerican owned and operated 161,000-volt electric line (known
collectively as "Electric Facilities"), which is presently located on private easements and
as generally shown on the attached Exhibit A, which Electric Facilities are an integral
part of MidAmerican's electric system providing electric service to Waukee, Iowa and
elsewhere;
B. WHEREAS, MidAmerican is willing to relocate the Electric Facilities as generally
shown on the attached Exhibit A in return for the compensation set forth in this
Agreement;
C. WHEREAS, City is willing to secure and coordinate acquisition of new easements with
MidAmerican for the relocated Electric Facilities;
D. WHEREAS, City is willing to reimburse MidAmerican for its costs to relocate the
Electric Facilities;
E. THEREFORE, the parties agree as follows:
Services. Following execution of this Agreement, the Services to be provided by
MidAmerican shall consist of relocation of the Electric Facilities as generally
shown on the attached Exhibit A and removal of the existing structures and related
facilities. MidAmerican shall commence the Services after execution of this
Agreement. Construction is expected to be completed by April 1, 2017; however,
weather, Electric Facilities easement acquisition, and unanticipated other work as
necessary at the site to achieve the objectives of this Agreement may affect the
schedule. City acknowledges that for MidAmerican to achieve this completion date,
City must execute this agreement and provide new easements by October 1, 2016. If
that date is missed, commensurate extension of the completion date may be
required.
Site Conditions. MidAmerican assumes that any information furnished by City is
accurate and complete and is relying on such information. If MidAmerican
encounters, at the site, toxic substances, hazardous substances or hazardous wastes
(as such terms are defined in any Federal, state or local statute, regulation or
ordinance), which require special handling and/or disposal, and are not a part of the
services contracted for, MidAmerican shall immediately suspend further work in
the area of the materials and notify City of the condition. City shall immediately
take whatever precautions are legally required to eliminate such hazardous
conditions and properly handle and dispose of such substances or wastes so that the
Services may safely proceed. If site conditions cause an increase in MidAmerican's
cost of, or the time required for, performance of any part of the Services under a
Scope of Work, an equitable adjustment shall be made to the compensation paid
MidAmerican and the schedule. If during the course of the Services, MidAmerican
observes the existence of asbestos or asbestos -containing materials, MidAmerican
will immediately suspend further work in the area of the materials and notify City
of the condition, and City will determine the further course of action.
Compensation. All compensation for this work shall be based on MidAmerican's
actual costs with no additional mark up. The estimated cost for these Services is
One Million One Hundred Forty Thousand and 00/100 Dollars U.S.
($1,140,000.00).
When the Services are complete, MidAmerican shall provide City with an invoice
detailing the actual cost of the Services, which invoice shall be the amount of total
compensation due MidAmerican. Payment shall be due and payable upon
presentment of such invoice.
4. Prerequisite work by City. City shall identify and have staked the new location and
boundary of City's right-of-way and identify and have staked the new location of
the Electric Facilities easement. This work shall be done by City on or about
October 1, 2016.
City shall also allow ingress and egress over City's property for MidAmerican to
perform these services.
City shall acquire new easements in the form of the attached Exhibit B.
Obsolete easements. MidAmerican shall release all easements that become
obsolete or unnecessary by the operation of this Agreement.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the City of Waukee, Iowa and MidAmerican Energy Company have
caused this Agreement to be executed by their duly authorized representatives to be effective on
the date and year first above written.

HERETO WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF
LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION
WITH THIS EASEMENT. EACH PARTY FURTHER WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO CONSOLIDATE
ANY ACTION IN WHICH A JURY TRIAL HAS BEEN WAIVED WITH ANY OTHER ACTION IN
WHICH A JURY TRIAL CANNOT BE OR HAS NOT BEEN WAIVED.
7. Grantor hereby relinquishes all rights of dower, homestead and distributive share in and
to the Easement Area and waives all rights of exemption as to any of the Easement Area.
