AGREEMENT 
 
THIS AGREEMENT (“Agreement”) is made between the City of Chandler (“City”) and the Salt 
River Project Agricultural Improvement and Power District (“SRP”) (City and SRP are 
individually “Party” or collectively “Parties”) with an Effective Date of June 24, 2021. 
 
RECITALS 
 
A. 
City is a duly formed municipal corporation of the State of Arizona. 
 
B. 
SRP is an agricultural improvement district, a political subdivision of the State of 
Arizona.  SRP provides electric service to a distribution service area in central Arizona, 
which includes areas within City. 
 
C. 
On March 23, 2021, Intel announced a $20 billion expansion to its Ocotillo campus in the 
Price Road Corridor.  Intel’s planned expansion includes two new fabrication facilities 
that are expected to create more than 3,000 high-tech, high-wage jobs, 3,000 construction 
jobs, and 15,000 local long-term jobs.  Intel’s announced expansion is reported to be the 
largest single capital investment in Arizona history. 
 
D. 
SRP will need to add facilities to its 230kV transmission system by the third quarter of 
2023 to serve the energy requirements of the Intel expansion.  City and SRP agree that 
the successful development of the Intel expansion and the required new transmission 
facilities will be beneficial to City residents as well as for current and future economic 
development in Chandler. 
 
E. 
SRP will seek a Certificate of Environmental Compatibility (“CEC”) to construct the 
needed high voltage transmission lines in South Chandler, near the Intel Ocotillo 
Campus.  Exhibit 1, attached hereto, and incorporated herein by this reference, shows the 
general location of the existing SRP Schrader and Henshaw substations.  SRP will seek a 
CEC to construct a double circuit 230kV line from the existing Henshaw substation to a 
new substation, currently referred to as RS28, which will be located generally east of the 
Old Price Road alignment on the Intel Ocotillo Campus near the intersection of Dobson 
Road and Chaparral Way, as generally depicted in Exhibit 2 (referenced herein as the 
“north/south portion”). SRP also plans to include in the CEC Application (hereinafter 
defined) a double circuit 230kV line from the existing Schrader substation to the new 
RS28 substation (referenced herein as the “east/west portion”) as generally depicted in 
Exhibit 3.

Page 2 
 
F. 
The transmission lines to be constructed from the Henshaw substation to the RS28 
substation and from the Schrader substation to the RS28 substation are collectively 
referred to as the “Project”. 
 
G. 
City and SRP wish to minimize the impact of the Project on Chandler residents and 
businesses and to minimize the potential negative impacts of the Project. 
 
H. 
City has proposed to SRP an alternative route for the east/west portion of the Project to 
avoid adding new overhead lines in established residential communities and has proposed 
terms and conditions through which City may reasonably contribute to reduce the cost 
and burden associated with undergrounding portions of the transmission lines.  
 
I. 
SRP will conduct a public process to determine possible routing options for the double 
circuit 230kV lines.  Through the process, SRP will develop alternative alignments for 
the overhead segments of the east/west portion of the Project in such a way as to 
minimize impacts on existing residential neighborhoods.   
 
J. 
SRP’s standard for 230 kV transmission lines such as those proposed in this Project is by 
overhead installation.  City as well as residents and businesses in Chandler are likely 
opposed to overhead installation for a portion of the Project. Accordingly, City has 
requested, and SRP is willing, to negotiate an agreement to reduce the impacts of the 
Project by undergrounding certain portions of the Project.   
 
K. 
Under some circumstances, SRP will underground facilities where other parties pay the 
difference in cost between the overhead installation and the underground installation of 
230 kV lines.  Under this policy and to minimize the potential negative impacts to City’s 
residents and businesses, City is willing to pay the reasonable difference between an 
underground installation and the cost of an overhead installation for the Project segment 
located from the Schrader to RS28 substations, as depicted in Exhibit 3.  City is willing to 
pay the difference through a combination of: (i) City’s grant of perpetual easements for 
the Project; (ii) relocation of existing City-owned utilities; and (iii) City Aesthetic 
Program funds. 
 
L. 
After examining various alternatives, City and SRP believe that the best route to 
minimize potential negative impacts to nearby residences and businesses for the Project 
segment between Schrader and RS28 substations, which incorporates an underground 
segment, is a route that generally follows the railroad tracks east of Arizona Avenue from 
the Schrader substation to Chandler Heights Boulevard, then west to Alma School Road, 
then north to Lake Drive, then southwest on Chaparral Way to Dobson Road before 
entering the Intel Campus, combining underground and overhead segments.  This 
alignment is generally depicted in Exhibit 3.

Page 3 
 
M. 
SRP and City recognize the significant uncertainty about future requirements for 
additional electric transmission in South Chandler as industrial growth continues. For the 
convenience of residents and to avoid additional disruption in residential areas, the 
Project segments located on Lake Drive and Chaparral Way will include construction of a 
second duct bank to accommodate future growth.  SRP and City will work cooperatively 
to address future transmission requirements in the area, including the potential 
completion of the second circuit and duct bank along the Schrader-RS28 alignment 
identified in Exhibit 3. The cost of future transmission infrastructure is not subject to nor 
part of this Agreement.    
 
N. 
SRP will configure the overhead segments of the Project for up to two circuits, at its cost, 
to enable future growth in the area.   
 
O. 
SRP will file an application with the Arizona Corporation Commission (the 
“Commission”) to seek a CEC for the double circuit 230kV lines and the RS28 substation 
(collectively the “CEC Application”).  SRP intends to file the CEC Application on or 
about September 27, 2021.   
 
AGREEMENT 
 
NOW THEREFORE, City and SRP agree that the preceding recitals are accurate and 
incorporated herein by this reference and further agree: 
 
1.0 
Permitting and Construction of the Project. 
 
1. As set forth in this Agreement, SRP will seek permits for and will construct, if 
permitted, the Project in the alignments depicted in Exhibits 2 and 3.  SRP will obtain 
all necessary permits and approvals for the Project including, but not limited to, a 
CEC through the Arizona Power Plant and Transmission Line Siting Committee (the 
“Committee”) and the Commission. 
 
2. Consistent with this Agreement, City will support SRP’s efforts to permit and 
construct the Project as depicted in Exhibits 2 and 3, and will actively oppose 
conditions inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement, including with respect to 
interactions with the community, and by intervening and actively supporting SRP’s 
efforts before the Committee and the Commission and other permitting authorities.  
 
3. SRP will construct the east/west portion of the Project in the alignment depicted in 
Exhibit 3 including undergrounding from approximately the railroad tracks east of 
Arizona Avenue, west on Chandler Heights Boulevard to Alma School Road, north 
on Alma School Road to Lake Drive, west on Lake Drive to Chaparral Way, west on

Page 4 
 
Chaparral Way to Dobson Road, and on Dobson Road to the Intel Campus contingent 
upon field verification by SRP of underground utilities as depicted on City plans 
presented to SRP.  In connection with the construction: 
 
a. SRP will work cooperatively with City to identify the exact easement for the 
overhead and underground portions of the 230 kV line prior to the completion of 
engineering design of the 230 kV lines. SRP will locate the underground portion 
of the Schrader-RS28 segment of the Project in the Chandler Heights, Alma 
School, Lake Drive, Chaparral Way and Dobson rights-of-way.  SRP will work 
cooperatively with City to identify pole locations on the railroad segments to 
minimize, as may be practicable, the proximity of the poles to existing residences 
subject to approval by the Committee and the Commission. 
 
b. SRP will obtain all easements at its expense that are not part of City right-of-way, 
except as otherwise provided in Section 2.0. 
 
c. To the extent reasonably feasible and unless alternative agreements are reached 
during construction, the portions of the Project not directly related to the 
construction of electric facilities will be designed and reviewed to meet City 
requirements for Capital Improvement Projects.  City agrees that City will review 
SRP’s civil plans for design and right-of-way permits within 14 business days 
after final and full submittal by SRP. SRP agrees to address City’s comments to 
ensure compliance with City’s regulations and standards.  The plans submitted by 
SRP will include detailed traffic plans, construction processes, and plans to ensure 
that emergency vehicles can access properties along the construction route 
including: 
 
i. 
Access to all adjacent land uses, including businesses and offices, along the 
corridor must be always maintained.  If the land use has two or more 
driveways, solely one driveway may be restricted or closed at a time; if a land 
use solely has one driveway, solely one-half of the driveway may be closed 
during business hours. 
 
ii. 
Any driveway closures will be limited to closure periods that do not exceed 72 
hours, Monday thru Sunday inclusive.  
 
iii. 
Any restricted access to a driveway due to construction activity within 200 
feet of the driveway must have a flagger provided by the contractor to assist 
traffic using the driveway during construction work hours.  Any work within 
300 feet of a signalized intersection must have a uniformed police officer 
present during construction work hours.

Page 5 
 
iv. 
Any open and unprotected trench area must be limited to the active work area 
by the contractor.  An active work area is defined as the area where the 
contractor is working or is scheduled to work during a given workday.  
 
v. 
Any open trench that is not in an active work area must be protected with 
either steel plates or temporary chain link fence segments over the trench.   
 
vi. 
Except during active construction, any open trench without steel plates within 
6 feet of traffic on a public street must have either concrete Jersey barriers or 
water filled Jersey barriers between the open trench and the traffic.  These 
Jersey barriers must be connected to the adjacent barriers as recommended by 
the barricade company.  
 
vii. 
SRP will coordinate its trenching and schedule the undergrounding of the 
230kV lines adjacent to the Chandler Traditional Academy on Lake Drive to 
minimize, to the extent reasonably possible, disruption to school operations. 
 
viii. 
SRP will construct the underground portion of the Project using open trench 
methods except in locations where it is technically infeasible.  SRP will bore 
under Arizona Avenue for the location of the two duct banks crossing Arizona 
Avenue. 
 
ix. 
SRP will, after a duct bank is completed and trench is backfilled with cement 
slurry, perform a T-top pavement replacement followed by an arterial slurry-
seal over the entire half-width of the affected roadway. Where trenching 
affects both directions of travel, SRP will slurry-seal each half-width of 
roadway a minimum of 200 feet beyond the extent of trenching.  City agrees 
to allow pavement cuts for the Project in pavement that was installed less than 
two years prior and will waive its right to collect pavement restoration fees for 
such cuts as permitted under Chandler City Code Sections 46-2.7(C) and (D). 
 
x. 
Except as provided in this subparagraph, City agrees to exempt SRP from 
seasonal lane closure restrictions to enable timely construction of the 
underground duct bank. Seasonal lane closure restrictions will continue to 
apply to active arterial street and roadway intersections. 
 
4. The underground portion of the Project described in paragraph 3 consists of a single 
duct bank containing eight (8) 8-inch, two (2) 3-inch, and two (2) 2-inch conduits 
encased in thermal concrete backfill. SRP will install a 2-cable-per-phase 230 kV 
conductor system with associated communication and sensing cables in the duct bank. 
On Lake Drive and Chaparral Way, SRP will construct a second duct bank of the

Page 6 
 
same configuration.  The cables for the second duct bank will not be installed at this 
time.  
 
5. As part of this Agreement and the Project, SRP must not place any pole, 
infrastructure, or other obstruction that in any way compromises, interferes with, or 
damages the visibility or aesthetics of the City of Chandler monument and 
landscaping located near Queen Creek Road and Old Price Road.  
 
2.0 
Financial Participation of Chandler   
 
1. Consideration for Project. As consideration for the Project and the undergrounding of 
230kV transmission lines for part of the Project, City will provide the following 
consideration as further described in this Agreement: (i) City’s grant of certain 
permanent easements for the Project; (ii) City’s relocation of existing City-owned 
utilities; and (iii) City’s payment by use of certain SRP Municipal Aesthetic Program 
Funds allocated to City. 
 
2. Easements. 
 
a. Permanent Easements.  After completion of the joint technical study and 
assessment as provided in subparagraph 2.2(d) and permitting of the Project, and 
on or before the date SRP issues its notice to proceed to its contractor for the 
construction of the Project, City will grant certain permanent easements to SRP 
for: (i)  the underground portion of the Project located in City right-of-way as 
depicted in Exhibit 3 (the “Underground Easement”); (ii) the overhead portion of 
the Project located in City right-of-way as depicted in Exhibit 4 (“Right-of-Way 
Overhead Easement”); and (iii) the overhead portion of the Project located near 
City-owned real property where City’s Water Reclamation Facilities (hereinafter 
defined) are located (“Water Reclamation Facilities Overhead Easement”) 
(Underground Easement, Right of Way Overhead Easement, and Water 
Reclamation Facilities Overhead Easement are collectively “Permanent 
Easements”).  City and SRP agree City’s grant of the Permanent Easements 
constitutes additional consideration for the Project and SRP’s undergrounding of a 
portion of the Project and agree that the fair market value of the Permanent 
Easements is Four Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($4,500,000). The 
documents granting the Permanent Easements will be essentially in the forms 
attached as Exhibit 5 (Underground Easement), Exhibit 6 (Right of Way 
Overhead Easement), and Exhibit 7 (Water Reclamation Facilities Overhead 
Easement) respectively.

Page 7 
 
b. Underground Easement.  The Underground Easement will be 35 feet wide from 
approximately the railroad tracks east of Arizona Avenue, west on Chandler 
Heights Boulevard to Alma School Road, north on Alma School Road to Lake 
Drive, west on Lake Drive to Chaparral Way, west on Chaparral Way to Dobson 
Road, and on Dobson Road to the Intel Campus.   
 
c. Right of Way Overhead Easement.  The Right of Way Overhead Easement will be 
80 feet wide and will be located in City right-of-way for most of the Project. The 
Right-of-Way Overhead Easement does not apply to the portions of the Project 
located underground or to an overhead easement described in subparagraph 
2.2(d)(i) below located near, on, or that abuts City’s Ocotillo Water Reclamation 
Facility and the Ocotillo Brine Reduction Facility (collectively “Water 
Reclamation Facilities”). 
 
d. Water Reclamation Facilities Overhead Easement. At, near, or abutting City’s 
Water Reclamation Facilities, the Water Reclamation Facilities Overhead 
Easement will follow one of two alternative alignments: (i) east of and generally 
parallel to Old Price Road across City-owned real property where City’s Water 
Reclamation Facilities are located (“East Alignment”); or (ii) at the western edge 
of Old Price Road (“West Alignment”). Both East and West Alignments may 
overlap the roadway. The Parties will work cooperatively to select the permanent 
easement alignment for the portion of the Project abutting the Water Reclamation 
Facilities after the Parties’ reasonable review and consideration of a joint 
technical study prepared by the Parties at SRP’s sole cost.  
 
i. If the Parties select the East Alignment for the Water Reclamation 
Facilities Overhead Easement as provided in this subparagraph, SRP will 
relocate at its sole cost all Water Reclamation Facilities infrastructure and 
utilities necessary to complete the Project. The Parties will also work 
cooperatively and agree to a form of overhead easement: (i) the main 
purpose of which is an “aerial” easement and which includes “islands” to 
permit  poles and other related infrastructure to be  physically located on 
the ground; (ii) that minimizes the size and extent of any easement to limit 
SRP’s intrusion into and conflicting use of City’s Water Reclamation 
Facilities; (iii) that permits City the full and beneficial use of the easement 
where City’s use does not unreasonably interfere or conflict with SRP’s 
transmission lines; and (iv) this overhead easement (80 feet wide in total) 
extends 50 feet west over Old Price Road right-of-way and a maximum of 
30 feet east over the City-owned parcel for the Water Reclamation 
Facilities. These easement limits are measured from the eastern right-of-
way boundary for Old Price Road. City will grant the Water Reclamation

Page 8 
 
Facilities Overhead Easement in a form substantially similar to Exhibit 7 
attached. 
 
ii. If the Parties select the West Alignment, City will grant SRP a Right-of-
Way Overhead Easement in Old Price Road and a 30-foot wide (as 
measured from the eastern right-of-way boundary for Old Price Road) 
temporary construction easement in the form attached as Exhibit 9 on the 
east side of Old Price Road for the duration of the Project.  City and SRP 
will work cooperatively to amend the form of easement attached to reflect 
the temporary need.       
 
3. Aesthetics Funds and Utility Relocations 
 
a. Upon execution of this Agreement, City will contribute through commitment of 
its SRP Municipal Aesthetics Program allocated funds, a total not-to-exceed 
amount of Nineteen Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($19,500,000) as 
follows: 
 
i. 
Seven Million Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($7,250,000) from 
currently available aesthetics funds.  
 
ii. 
A not-to-exceed amount of Twelve Million Two Hundred Fifty Thousand 
Dollars $12,250,00) in Aesthetics Advanced Funding from City’s future 
aesthetics allocations.   City’s future annual allocations will be applied as 
payment towards the advanced funding amount until the advanced funding 
balance is repaid in full.  Based on City’s average annual Aesthetics Program 
allocations, the Parties anticipate that City will be able to repay the Aesthetics 
Advanced Funding balance within six (6) years of the Effective Date. 
 
b. City's Nineteen Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($19,500,000) of 
Aesthetics Funds will be applied as follows: 
 
i. 
City will fund the cost difference between overhead and underground 
construction of the transmission lines (without consideration of the cost for 
moving utilities as discussed in subparagraph 2(b)(ii) below) through City’s 
SRP Municipal Aesthetics Program allocated funds.  SRP and City agree that 
such cost difference (net of the fair market value of the permanent easements) 
is Twelve Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($12,500,000).   
 
ii. 
For the portion of the Project to be undergrounded on Chandler Heights, Alma 
School, Lake Drive, Chaparral Way and Dobson roads within the dedicated

Page 9 
 
easement area, as depicted in Exhibit 3, City will, at City’s expense, relocate 
or abandon existing City-owned underground utilities as may be necessary to 
provide to SRP an easement of approximately 35 feet in width, which is clear 
of City-owned underground utilities and obstructions. Where no feasible 
alternative exists, utility lines will be permitted to cross over SRP’s 230kV 
lines in City right-of-way. City may apply City’s committed Aesthetics 
Program Funds allocation in an amount not-to-exceed Seven Million Dollars 
($7,000,000) to reimburse City for City’s underground utility relocation costs 
associated with the Project. City and SRP mutually agree to locate 
underground utilities in City right-of-way to minimize the need to relocate 
private facilities and obstructions. City will not be responsible to relocate 
utilities not owned by City. All City-owned underground utilities and 
obstructions will be cleared or abandoned in place no later than twelve (12) 
months following final approval of the Project CEC. City is responsible for 
City’s underground utility relocation costs greater than Seven Million Dollars 
($7,000,000.00).  
 
c. Reimbursement for underground utility relocations cost applies solely to like-for-
like relocations and excludes any form of betterment to City’s utilities.  
 
d. SRP will issue a purchase order to City in the amount of Seven Million Dollars 
($7,000,000) for future payment of City underground utility relocation costs. 
Upon accumulation of City’s underground utility relocation costs up to the 
amount described in subparagraph 2(b)(ii) above, City will submit a single 
invoice to SRP for reimbursement.  The invoice will include sufficient auditable 
documentation of City’s costs to demonstrate the costs incurred are those 
necessary to relocate City's underground utilities in support of this Project. 
Documentation will include contractor and vendor invoices and payment(s) made 
by City to such contractors and vendors. Vendor and contractor invoices will 
reference scope documents sufficient to demonstrate the costs are associated with 
City underground utility relocation costs. City proof of payment is required for 
consideration of reimbursement from City’s Aesthetics Funds.   
 
e. To make the Seven Million Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($7,250,000) in 
Aesthetic Funds available for the Project, City agrees City will not seek Aesthetic 
Funds for current (as of July 1, 2021) or future projects that are eligible for 
Aesthetic Funds until the Advanced Funding balance is repaid in full.  
 
f. SRP will not require City to utilize City’s Aesthetics Funds to repay the Seven 
Hundred Two Thousand One Hundred Sixty Dollars and Seventy-Eight Cents 
($702,160.78) in previously incurred SRP design costs associated with the

Page 10 
 
remaining canceled 12kV distribution projects that resulted from the Price Road 
Corridor agreement as listed in Exhibit 8.  
 
3.0 
Henshaw to RS28 230kV Lines  
 
SRP agrees that the double circuit 230kv line from the Henshaw substation to the Intel 
property will be located on the Old Price Road alignment, subject to approval by the 
Commission, if there are no obstructions that prevent standard overhead construction 
techniques from being utilized at the time the line is to be built and the right of way is 
available at a cost comparable to other installation alternatives.  City agrees to support the 
Old Price Road route with all community stakeholders and landowners along the route. 
 
4.0 
Agreement Term 
 
This Agreement begins on the Effective Date and will have a term that ends on 
completion of Project construction and payment by Chandler as set forth in this 
Agreement. 
 
5.0 
Additional Provisions 
 
1. With this Project, SRP is making a one-time exception to its Municipal Aesthetics 
Fund policies to fund 230kV undergrounding costs and utility relocation costs 
incurred by City. SRP makes this exception recognizing underground 230kV 
installations have limited flexibility to avoid existing utilities. SRP and City recognize 
the unique technical constraints applicable to this Project. The waiver of policies by 
either party under this Agreement and Project solely applies to this Agreement and 
Project and does not constitute a waiver of or change to either party's ongoing 
policies.   
 
2. This Agreement and the exception to SRP’s Municipal Aesthetics Fund policies are 
subject to approval by its Board of Directors. This Agreement is subject to the 
approval the Chandler City Council and conditioned on the approval of the Project 
CEC by the Commission.

will be deemed severed from this Agreement and this Agreement will otherwise 
remain in full force and effect.  Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, however, 
this Agreement will retroactively be deemed reformed to the extent reasonably 
possible in such a manner so that the reformed Agreement provides essentially the 
same rights and benefits (economic and otherwise) to City and SRP as if such 
severance and reformation were not required.  City and SRP further agree, in such 
circumstances, to do all acts and to execute all amendments, instruments, and 
consents necessary to accomplish and to give effect to the purposes of this 
Agreement, as reformed.  If the Agreement cannot be retroactively reformed in such a 
way that it provides essentially the same rights and benefits to City and SRP then 
either City or SRP may terminate the Agreement without further rights or liabilities to 
the other than those that expressly survive termination. 
 
5. In the event it becomes necessary for either City or SRP to employ legal counsel or to 
bring an action at law or other proceedings for the other party’s material breach of the 
terms, covenants, or conditions of this Agreement, the non-prevailing party will pay 
the prevailing party's reasonable expenses, including, but not limited to, expert

Page 12 
 
witness fees, court costs, litigation and appeal expenses, and reasonable attorney fees 
incurred because of the material breach. 
 
6. This Agreement and all exhibits thereto constitute the entire agreement between City 
and SRP regarding its subject matter.  All prior and contemporaneous agreements, 
representations, and understandings of City and SRP, oral or written, are hereby 
superseded and merged herein.  In the event of a conflict between the text of this 
Agreement and the attached or incorporated Exhibits, the text of this Agreement will

City of Chandler,  
an Arizona municipal corporation,  
 
 
hereinafter called “Grantor”, for and in consideration of the sum of One Dollar, and other valuable 
consideration, receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, does hereby grant and convey to SALT RIVER 
PROJECT AGRICULTURAL IMPROVEMENT AND POWER DISTRICT, an agricultural 
improvement district organized and existing under the laws of the State of Arizona, and its successors 
and assigns, hereinafter called “Grantee”, for use by Grantee and Grantee’s agents, employees, 
contractors, co-owners, participants, and permittees, an easement in, upon, over, under, across, through 
and along the lands hereinafter described (such lands hereinafter described being sometimes referred to 
herein as the “Easement Parcel” defined below), to construct, install, reconstruct, replace, remove, repair, 
operate and maintain underground conduits, conductors, pipes, cables, wires, fiber optic, concrete 
encasement, vaults, pads, switching equipment, enclosures, manholes and transformers and all other 
appliances, appurtenances and fixtures for the transmission and distribution of electricity, 
communication signals and data, and for all other purposes connected therewith (collectively 
“Facilities”) at such locations and elevations, in, upon, over, under, across and along the Easement 
Parcel, as Grantee may now or hereafter deem convenient or necessary from time to time, together with 
the right of ingress and egress to, from, across and along the Easement Parcel.   
 
 
The lands in, upon, over, under, across, through and along which this easement is granted are 
situated in the County of Maricopa, State of Arizona, and are more particularly described as: 
 
 
Easement Parcel: 
 
See Exhibit A attached hereto and made a part hereof. 
 
CAUTION:  Facilities placed within the Easement Parcel may contain high voltage electrical 
equipment.  Notice is hereby given that the location of underground electrical conductors or facilities 
must be verified as required by Arizona Revised Statutes, Section 40-360.21, et. seq., Arizona Blue 
Stake Law, prior to any excavation.

Grantor and Grantee agree that this Underground Power Easement shall be governed by the 
following terms and conditions: 
 
1. 
Grantor shall maintain a Grantee approval area that consists of the portion of the subsurface 
of the Easement Parcel beginning at the bottom limit of the aggregate base course (ABC) for the road 
pavement, not to exceed twenty inches (20") below ground level, and ending at two feet (2') below the 
lowest point of the Facilities (the “Grantee Approval Area”).  Grantor shall not, whether directly or 
indirectly through the granting of permission, install improvements or perform any other construction 
activities within the Grantee Approval Area without Grantee’s prior written consent, which will not be 
unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.  Without limiting Grantee’s consent rights hereunder, it 
shall be deemed reasonable for Grantee to withhold such consent if the proposed improvements or 
construction activities (A) are within the two-foot area located above or below of the Facilities, (B) are not 
installed perpendicular to the Facilities, or (C) are installed within sixty feet of the splice vaults.  Grantor 
shall provide, or require applicant to provide, Grantee with the following minimum information to allow 
Grantee to review any proposed utility crossings within the Grantee Approval Area: (T) type of utility, (U) 
size and planned minimum depth of the proposed utility, (V) pipe and conduit material, (W) whether the 
proposed utility is a heat generating facility, (X) pressure of the proposed utility, (Y) the construction 
methodology, and (Z) location of crossing.   Notwithstanding the foregoing, Grantor may perform, or 
authorize other public utilities to perform soft digging within the Grantee Approval Area for the purpose of 
locating the Facilities, provided that a representative of Grantee is on-site for such soft digging.   
 
2. 
Consistent with Grantee’s approval rights set forth in the previous paragraph, Grantee 
hereby approves the existing utilities listed on Exhibit B (attached hereto and made a part hereof), as 
described and depicted in those certain City of Chandler XXXXX Road Utility Relocation Plans, City 
Project No. XX-XXXXXX, Wilson Engineers Project No. XXXXXX, dated XXXXX 20XX (“Relocation 
Plans”).   
 
 
3. 
Grantor acknowledges that Grantee intends to install the same type of Facilities approved 
through City of Chandler Encroachment Permit No. XXXXXX, issued on XXXXX  X, 20xx, SRP Job No. 
XXXX (              ) within the Easement Area (the “Installation Work”).  Based on Grantor’s knowledge of 
the Installation Work and the location of the Easement Parcel, Grantor has determined that the Installation 
Work will have minimal impact on the adjacent drainage area.  Grantor, therefore, agrees that no drainage 
report or mitigation work will be required for Grantor’s approval of and issuance of any permits for the 
Installation Work.   
  
 
4. 
Except as expressly set forth herein, Grantor shall not construct, install or place, or permit 
to be constructed, installed or placed any building or other structure, plant any additional trees, drill any 
well, store materials of any kind, or alter ground level by cut or fill, to a depth not to exceed eight inches 
above or below existing grade, within the area of the Easement Parcel.  Any landscape restoration associated 
with the Installation Work shall not include any trees or any other improvements which violate the 
provisions of this paragraph.      
 
 
5. 
Subject to the provisions set forth herein, Grantor reserves the right to use and occupy the 
Easement Parcel for any purpose consistent with the rights and privileges herein granted and which will not 
interfere with or endanger any of the Facilities or the use thereof.  Grantor and Grantee acknowledge that 
the Facilities shall be installed within Grantor’s existing right-of-way and, in some instances, at the option 
and discretion of Grantee, may cross over other existing utilities, including but not limited to existing utilities 
of Grantor located within the Grantee Approval Area, as described and depicted in the Relocation Plans, or 
as otherwise approved by Grantee in accordance with the requirements of paragraph 1 of this instrument

(“Authorized Utilities”).  Notwithstanding Grantee’s rights within the Grantee Approval Area, Grantor may 
perform, or may authorize a public utility to perform, construction and maintenance activities on the 
Authorized Utilities within the Grantee Approval Area, provided that all such construction or maintenance 
activities comply with all the requirements set forth in this paragraph.  The following requirements shall 
apply to construction and maintenance activities within the Grantee Approval Area:  (a) no construction or 
maintenance activities shall be performed within (i) the five-foot area horizontally adjacent to, (ii) the two-
foot area above, (iii) the two-foot area below, or (iv) the area between the concrete encasements in which 
the duct banks are located, (b) any thermal backfill disturbed by construction or maintenance activities shall 
be replaced with Grantee approved thermal rated backfill, and (c) Grantor shall provide prior notification 
to, and coordination with Grantee before undertaking or authorizing, as applicable, any construction or 
maintenance activities within the Grantee Approval Area.  Prior to authorizing any third party to conduct 
work within the Grantee Approval Area, Grantor shall obtain such party’s agreement to comply with the 
above requirements.  Grantor further agrees that Grantor shall not (y) install, or authorize the installation of, 
any utilities within the Easement Area parallel to the Facilities, or (z) perform or authorize construction or 
maintenance activities within the Easement Area that adversely impact the Facilities or Grantee’s access 
thereto.    
 
 
6. 
Grantee shall have the right (but not the obligation) to trim, cut and clear away trees, brush 
or other vegetation on the Easement Parcel whenever in its judgment the same shall be necessary for the 
convenient and safe exercise of the rights herein granted.  
 
 
7. 
Any and all Grantee construction activities within the XXXXX Road or XXXXX Road 
rights-of-way will comply with City of Chandler ordinances, rules and regulations pertaining to the conduct 
of construction activities within City right-of-way, to the extent applicable.  After the construction and 
installation of the Facilities within the Easement Parcel, the City of Chandler will issue a blanket annual 
City Authorization for all Grantee maintenance activities within the Easement Parcel.  If there is a conflict 
between this Underground Power Easement (including, without limitation, the right to access the Facilities) 
and any permit or other City Authorization issued after construction with respect to the Facilities or the 
Easement Parcel, the terms and provisions of this Underground Power Easement will control, provided, 
however, that Grantee shall not allow other parties to use the Easement Parcel for the installation of 
additional Facilities for such other parties’ use, whether jointly or separately from Grantee, unless such other 
parties comply with applicable City ordinances and permit and/or licensing requirements.  “City 
Authorization” means any instrument, whether denominated as a permit, a license, or otherwise, by which 
the City authorizes a person or entity to use the City right-of-way.   
 
 
8. 
Grantee will be responsible (at Grantee’s sole cost and expense) for maintaining and 
repairing the Facilities in a good, safe, clean, and commercially reasonable condition and in accordance with 
all applicable laws.  Grantee agrees not to unreasonably disturb Grantor’s use of the Easement Parcel during 
any such maintenance or repairs.  In connection with any work performed by or on behalf of Grantee under 
this Easement, Grantee agrees (at Grantee’s sole cost and expense) (i) to repair or replace any damaged 
Grantor improvements located within the Easement Parcel, including, without limitation, pavement, 
sidewalks, and landscaping (softscape and hardscape) in a commercially reasonable manner, and (ii) to 
perform all such work free and clear of any mechanics’ or materialmen’s liens.  
 
 
9. 
The easement and other rights granted to Grantee hereunder, shall be perpetual, and shall 
not terminate until, and unless abandoned through the recordation of a document executed and 
acknowledged by Grantee specifically terminating this instrument.  Upon such recordation, all Grantee's 
rights hereunder shall cease, except the right to remove any and all property placed upon the Easement 
Parcel within a reasonable time subsequent to such termination.  To induce Grantee to accept this instrument 
and the easement granted herein for the installation of the Facilities, Grantor warrants that this instrument 
creates a permanent easement for the construction, installation, reconstruction, replacement, removal, repair,

operation, and maintenance of the Facilities.  If Grantor requires Grantee to relocate or modify the Facilities, 
Grantor will (i) pay and/or reimburse Grantee any and all costs incurred for such relocation or modification 
and (ii) provide a reasonable new location for the Facilities, and easement rights therefor, that meets the 
standards set forth in this instrument.  Notwithstanding anything in this instrument, or laws, statutes, 
ordinances, rules, or regulations to the contrary, the City of Chandler, or any successor in interest, including 
without limitation any subsequent “Grantor” under this instrument, shall allow Grantee to abandon the 
Facilities in place within the Easement Parcel, and not require their removal.  Grantor acknowledges that 
the Facilities are being located within public right-of-way at the request of Grantor, and that Grantee 
materially relied on the provisions of this paragraph in agreeing to Grantor’s request. Grantee acknowledges 
that Grantor relocated its facilities to pass underneath Grantee’s Facilities at the request and direction of 
Grantee.   
 
 
10. 
The benefits and burdens, and the covenants and agreements herein set forth shall run with 
and burden the land and shall extend and inure in favor and to the benefit of, and shall be binding on Grantor 
and Grantee and their successors and assigns.  Grantee shall have the right to assign the Easement, in whole 
or in part, to one or more assignees and, upon the assignment, any such assignee hereby assumes the rights 
and obligations of the Grantee hereunder with respect to the portion of the Easement assigned.  
 
 
11. 
The provisions of this Underground Power Easement are not intended to and do not 
constitute a grant, dedication, or conveyance for public use of the Easement Parcel.  The rights herein created 
are private and for the benefit only of Grantor and Grantee and their successors and assigns. 
 
 
12. 
The rights and remedies hereunder are cumulative, and the exercise of any one or more of  
such rights or remedies shall not preclude the exercise, at the same or different times, of any other right or  
remedy available. 
 
 
13. 
 When this Easement will be used by Grantee in place of an existing overhead easement 
located in Grantor’s right-of-way and which is used for the transmission and distribution of electricity 
(“Existing Overhead Easement”), Grantee will convey to Grantor simultaneously with the grant of this 
Easement Grantee’s interests and rights in the Existing Overhead Easement as additional consideration for 
this Easement.  In addition, except for any Facilities Grantor may permit to be abandoned in place, Grantee 
agrees to remove any Facilities in the Existing Overhead Easement at Grantee’s sole cost.

2. 
Use Approval Procedures. Grantor may, with the prior written consent, which may be granted 
or denied through the exercise of Grantee’s reasonable discretion, use (or permit third party use of)

Facilities, or endanger any of the Facilities or the use thereof.   
 
4.

level, or allow the installation of utilities or private or public roadways within the Easement Parcel, 
or its associated airspace; and (ii) no plants may be installed within the Easement Parcel unless such 
plants are on Grantee’s list of plants approved for use within easements. Notwithstanding the 
provisions of this paragraph 4, Grantor may obtain prior written approval from Grantee, in accordance 
with the requirements of paragraph 2, to grade within the limits of the Easement Parcel. 
 
5. 
Fences. Grantee, at its expense, may construct, modify, and maintain access openings and 
gates at such locations and of such dimensions as determined by Grantee in consultation with 
Grantor,, in all existing fences and walls across or within the Easement Parcel.  If Grantor constructs 
fences or walls across the Easement Parcel, Grantor shall, at its expense, provide Grantee with 
openings at locations and of such dimensions as determined by Grantee in consultation with Grantor.  
Grantor, at its expense, may install gates across such openings and, if such gates are locked, shall 
install a multiple locking device, accessible by both Grantor and Grantee.  Nothing set forth in this

6. 
Vegetation.  Grantee shall have the right (but not the obligation) to trim, cut and clear away 
trees, brush or other vegetation on, or which encroaches into, the Easement Parcel, whenever in its 
judgment the same shall be necessary for Grantee’s use, operation or maintenance of, or access to the 
Facilities, or for safety or system reliability reasons.    
 
7.  
Relocation of Grantee’s Facilities. If Grantor requires Grantee to relocate or modify the 
Facilities, Grantor will (i) pay and/or reimburse Grantee any and all costs incurred for such relocation 
or modification and (ii) provide a reasonable new location for the Facilities, and easement rights 
therefor, that meets the standards set forth in this instrument 
 
8. 
  Perpetual Nature of Easement.  This Easement and Grantee’s rights hereunder, shall be 
perpetual, and shall not terminate until and unless abandoned through the recordation of a document 
formally abandoning the Easement, which references this instrument and is executed and 
acknowledge by Grantee.  Upon such recordation, all Grantee's rights hereunder shall cease, except 
the right to remove any and all property placed upon the Easement Parcel within a reasonable time 
subsequent to such abandonment.    
 
9. 
Successors and Assigns.  The benefits and burdens, and the covenants and agreements herein 
set forth shall run with and burden the land and shall extend and inure in favor and to the benefit of, 
and shall be binding on Grantor and Grantee and their successors and assigns.  Grantee shall have the 
right to assign the Easement, in whole or in part, to one or more assignees and, upon the assignment,

4 
 
any such assignee hereby assumes the rights and obligations of the Grantee hereunder with respect to 
the portion of the Easement assigned.     
 
10. 
Rights and Remedies Cumulative.  The rights and remedies hereunder are cumulative, and 
the exercise of any one or more of such rights or remedies shall not preclude the exercise, at the same 
or different times, of any other right or remedy available. 
 
11. 
Additional Consideration for Easement. When this Easement will be used by Grantee in place 
of an existing overhead easement located in Grantor’s right-of-way and which is used for the 
transmission and distribution of electricity (“Existing Overhead Easement”), Grantee will convey to 
Grantor simultaneously with the grant of this Easement Grantee’s interests and rights in the Existing

1. 
Additional Consideration for Easement. When this Easement will be used by Grantee in place 
of an existing overhead easement located in Grantor’s right-of-way and which is used for the 
transmission and distribution of electricity (“Existing Overhead Easement”), Grantee will convey to 
Grantor simultaneously with the grant of this Easement Grantee’s interests and rights in the Existing 
Overhead Easement as additional consideration for this Easement.  In addition, except for any

5.

formally abandoning the Easement, which references this instrument and is executed and 
acknowledged by Grantee.  Upon such recordation, all Grantee's rights hereunder shall cease, except

set forth shall run with and burden the land and shall extend and inure in favor and to the benefit of, 
and shall be binding on Grantor and Grantee and their successors and assigns.  Grantee shall have the 
right to assign the Easement, in whole or in part, to one or more assignees and, upon the assignment, 
any such assignee hereby assumes the rights and obligations of the Grantee hereunder with respect to 
the portion of the Easement assigned.     
 
9. 
Rights and Remedies Cumulative.  The rights and remedies hereunder are cumulative, and 
the exercise of any one or more of such rights or remedies shall not preclude the exercise, at the same 
or different times, of any other right or remedy available.

restricts or otherwise modifies Grantee’s approval rights under paragraph 3, and Grantor shall obtain 
prior written approval for any proposed fences and walls within the Easement Parcel.   
 
14.

infrastructure to both parties. Accordingly, both Grantor and Grantee shall have the right (but not the 
obligation), because of a public emergency, to dig-up or otherwise damage Facilities without prior 
notice to the other party, if the action is deemed reasonably necessary by Grantee, or Grantor’s City 
Manager, Fire Chief, Police Chief, City Street Transportation Director, Public Works Director, or 
Water Services Director.  A public emergency may be any condition which, in the opinion of Grantee 
or any of the officials named, poses an immediate threat to the lives or property of the residents of the 
City of Chandler or others caused by any natural or man-made disaster including, but not limited to, 
storms, floods, fire, accidents, explosions, major water main breaks, or hazardous material spills.
