Council approves three easements to Dominion Energy for electrical right-of-way agreements
Summary
The council accepted bids from Dominion Energy Virginia and adopted three ordinances granting easements for electrical improvements at three named properties after the required bidding process.
The Richmond City Council on Oct. 14 accepted bids from Dominion Energy Virginia and adopted three ordinances authorizing right-of-way easements for electrical-generation, distribution and transmission improvements at three city properties.
City staff opened and summarized the bidding process for the items (Ordinances 2025-184, 2025-185 and 2025-186). The clerk reported a single compliant bid for each item from Dominion Energy Virginia; the bids were accompanied by performance bonds meeting the statutory requirement. An administration representative recommended acceptance of the bids.
No members of the public addressed the ordinances during the public-hearing period. Council moved, seconded and voted to accept the Dominican Energy bids and adopt each ordinance separately. Each ordinance passed on recorded roll call.
The ordinances grant easements for the construction, maintenance and operation of improvements and appurtenances for power generation, distribution and transmission in accordance with right-of-way agreements covering the Thomas B. Smith Community Center, Luxfield Community Center and St. Marys Hospital (specific parcel details appear in the ordinances). The clerk and staff noted the bids were the only offers received during the advertised process and that Dominion Energy is prepared to perform under the agreements.
Council members voting in favor recorded their votes as part of the formal roll call; the clerk incorporated the adopted ordinances into the citys legislative record.
