Title
ORDINANCE GRANTING A THIRTY (30) YEAR EASEMENT TO SAN DIEGO GAS & ELECTRIC COMPANY FOR A SUBSURFACE GAS LINE ON 19TH STREET AND TIDELANDS AVENUE IN NATIONAL CITY, CALIFORNIA
Body
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The Naval Base of San Diego (Naval Base) is located on 32nd Street and East Harbor Drive in National City, California. It is the second largest surface ship base of the United States Navy. The United States Naval Fleet (Naval Fleet) is projecting strong growth over the next five years with more than half of the new vessels homeporting in San Diego. Therefore, the need to upgrade the Naval Base's existing facilities, including the utilities, is pertinent in order to accommodate the growing Naval Fleet.
In December 1995, the San Diego Unified Port District (District) granted an easement11 to San Diego Gas & Electric Company (SDG&E) for a subsurface gas line (Existing Easement) located on 19th Street and Tidelands Avenue in National City (Attachment A - Location Map). The existing subsurface gas line provides service to the south end of the Naval Base. Due to the projected growth of the Naval Fleet, it has been determined that the existing subsurface gas line will not have the required capacity to adequately service the growing needs of the Naval Fleet. Staff has negotiated a new 30-year easement with SDG&E commencing March 15, 2019 and terminating March 14, 2049, that includes a one-time rent payment to the District of $51,383.
