The negotiator from the pipeline company informed me today that they are a utility and are capable of putting the line in without our consent and paying the going rate. Any input on this threat, although he went out of his way to tell me it wasn't a threat.

the company is only able to do this if the original servitude included the right to lay another/multiple line(s). If the company does have multiple line rights then they can place the new line in the same right of way as the existing pipe.
Also, in LA multiple line rights expire after 10 years from the date of signing the original servitude.
The right of way hand was correct in telling you that this wasn't a threat. If the multiple line language exists in the original servitude that is less than 10 years old they have the legal right to construct the new line.
