[QUOTE="Lisagrantb, post: 1830613, member: 39668"] Couple things to consider about leasing ROW for power lines 1 use a lawyer that specializes in rights of ways 2 do they have the power to expropriate 3 if there buying ROW they have already performed the cost analysis and determined that this is the best location based on environmental, land topography and lots of other stuff that affects project cost. 4 they are on a project schedule and that can work in your favor 5 to move just the 200 feet you mentioned is not something they are wanting to do especially on a 500kv line. Remember project schedule (time is money) re engineering that section, modifying bid specifications or a change order and the list goes on. They DO NOT want to deviate from the plan. The land acquisition guys know all the tricks and they already know what you are going to do if they’ve met with you a couple of times. I can’t express this enough, get a lawyer that specializes in ROW not just a real-estate attorney I know this because I have built 100’s of miles of distribution/transmission lines and gas pipelines Just an example of something you or your lawyer may not have even considered in the contact. What, where, how will they be granted access to the ROW for line maintenance. Are you limiting the ROW based on current design capacity and if not they can come in latter and build another line or increase the existing line capacity and they don’t have to ask for another ROW [/QUOTE]
