Title
Ordinance Accepting the Bid Submitted by Virginia Electric and Power Company, a Virginia Public Service Corporation, Doing Business in Virginia as Dominion Energy Virginia, for a Non-Exclusive Easement Agreement to Use and Occupy City-owned Property Located within the City for the Purposes of Transmitting and Distributing Electric Power to Provide Electric Services to Property Operated by Langley Air Force Base


Purpose
PURPOSE/BACKGROUND:
Langley Air Force Base (“Langley”) contacted the City of Hampton (the “City”) to inquire if the City would allow electric services to be run across City-owned property to serve its property. The City properties that will be affected are 2935 N. Armistead Avenue (LRSN: 6001304); 2927 N. Armistead Avenue (LRSN: 6000802); 2921 N. Armistead Avenue (LRSN: 6000803); 2917 N. Armistead Avenue (LRSN: 6000804); and 2909 N. Armistead Avenue (LRSN: 6000805). The Constitution of Virginia and the Virginia Code give the City the authority to grant easements over City-owned property, but if the easement is for a period greater than five years, then the City must go through the bid process set forth in the Virginia Code. Per Langley’s request, the City agreed to offer a non-exclusive easement for the purpose of transmitting and distributing electric power across City-owned property to qualified provider(s) to provide electric services to the Langley’s property. To comply with the Virginia Code, the City publicly invited bids for the non-exclusive easement, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the City’s proposed Ordinance and the Agreement attached as “EXHIBIT 1” thereto. The Public Notice for the invitation for bids for the easement was run in the newspaper as required by Virginia Code. At the February 11, 2026 City Council Meeting, one bid from Virginia Electric and Power Company, a Virginia public service corporation, doing business in Virginia as Dominion Energy Virginia (“Dominion”) was received and opened.
