The Building 6 project brings the total acreage under this definition to only 45.85 acres. We believe we have no obligation for payment of this fee. 2) Primary Service $ 9,842.00 The March 1, 1977 agreement indicates HP is responsible for the portion of this charge that represents the difference between underground and overhead service. If this quote represents the actual cost of providing service from Harmony Road to our substation, we are willing to pay this amount. P 0 0 Hewlett-Packard recognizes the City will be expending money in the process of providing additional capacity to the Hewlett-Packard site. We believe the agreement of March 1, 1977 covers this situation and do not wish to modify or void the terms of that agreement. We do wish to continue our excellent working relationship with the City utility departments and wish to continue with the Building 6 project on schedule. To that end, HP will voluntarily pay the City of Fort Collins $33,107.64 (the contested kva + the accepted primary service charge) to help defray some of the costs relative to this project. This voluntary payment is made with the explicit understanding that in so doing, HP does not waive or in any way prejudice any of its rights under the March 1, 1977 agreement. Please submit an invoice in the above sum to my attention. Per our recent conversations, HP plans to submit the site to the City's PUD process when the Building 6 project is under way. We will negotiate the necessary agreements for the PUD in the same spirit as the agreements currently in force and based on the principals outlined in the existing agreements. We do not, for example, expect to pay additional fees for electrical service for future building projects which do not require additional service from the City. Thank you for your assistance in this matter. We look forward to working with you and the Utility Departments in the months ahead. Sincerely, bob Shuffler Site Planning Manager
