Page 3 of 7 Pages
a) Termination Due to Loss of Funding The parties hereto expressly recognize that the Contractor
is to be paid, reimbursed, or otherwise compensated with funds provided to the State for the purpose of
contracting for the services provided for herein, and therefore, the Contractor expressly understands and agrees
that all its rights, demands and claims to compensation arising under this Contract are contingent upon receipt
of such funds by the State. In the event that such funds or any part thereof are not received by the State, the
State may immediately terminate or amend this Contract.
b) Termination for Cause If, through any cause, the Contractor shall fail to fulfill in a timely and
proper manner its obligations under this Contract, or if the Contractor shall violate any of the covenants,
agreements, or stipulations of this Contract, the State shall thereupon have the right to terminate this Contract
for cause by giving written notice to the Contractor of such termination and specifying the effective date thereof,
at least twenty (20) days before the effective date of such termination. In that event, all finished or unfinished
documents, data, studies, surveys, drawings, maps, models, photographs, and reports or other material prepared
by the Contractor under this Contract shall, at the option of the State, become its property, and the Contractor
shall be entitled to receive just and equitable compensation for any satisfactory work completed on such
documents and other materials.
Notwithstanding the above, the Contractor shall not be relieved of liability to the State for any
damages sustained by the State by virtue of any breach of the Contract by the Contractor, and the State may
withhold any payments to the Contractor for the purpose of setoff until such time as the exact amount of damages
due the State from the Contractor is determined.
c) Termination for Convenience The State may terminate this Contract at any time the State
determines that the purposes of the distribution of State monies under the Contract would no longer be served
by completion of the Project. The State shall effect such termination by giving written notice of termination to the
Contractor and specifying the effective date thereof, at least twenty (20) days before the effective date of such
termination. In the event of termination for convenience, all finished or unfinished documents and other materials
as described in subparagraph 13.b) above shall, at the option of the State, become its property. If the Contract
is terminated by the State as provided herein, the Contractor will be paid an amount which bears the same ratio
to the total compensation as the services actually performed bear to the total services of the Contractor covered
by this Contract, less payments of compensation previously made: Provided, however, that if less than sixty
percent (60 %) of the services covered by this Contract have been performed upon the effective date of such
termination, the Contractor shall be reimbursed (in addition to the above payment) for that portion of the actual
out -of- pocket expenses (not otherwise reimbursed under this Contract) incurred by the Contractor during the
Contract period which are directly attributable to the uncompleted portion of the services covered by this Contract.
14. Integration This Contract, as written, with attachments and references, is intended as the complete
integration of all understanding between the parties at this time and no prior or contemporaneous addition,
deletion or amendment hereto shall have any force or effect whatsoever, unless embodied in a written
authorization or contract amendment incorporating such changes, executed and approved pursuant to applicable
law.

of the parties may be accomplished within the intent of the Contract, the terms of this Contract are severable, and
should any term or provision hereof be declared invalid or become inoperative for any reason, such invalidity or
failure shall not affect the validity of any other term or provision hereof. The waiver of any breach of a term hereof
shall not be construed as waiver of any other term nor as waiver of a subsequent breach of the same term.
16. Binding on Successors Except as herein otherwise provided, this agreement shall inure to the
benefit of and be binding upon the parties, or any subcontractors hereto, and their respective successors and
assigns.
17. Assignment Neither party, nor any subcontractors hereto, may assign its rights or duties under this
Contract without the prior written consent of the other party. No subcontract or transfer of Contract shall in any
case release the Contractor of liability under this Contract.
18. Survival of Certain Contract Terms Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the parties
understand and agree that all terms and conditions of this Contract and the exhibits and attachments hereto which
may require continued performance or compliance beyond the termination date of the Contract shall survive such
termination date and shall be enforceable by the State as provided herein in the event of such failure to perform
or comply by the Contractor or its subcontractors.

19. Successor in Interest In the event the Contractor is an entity formed under intergovernmental
agreement and the project is for the acquisition, construction or reconstruction of real or personal property to be
used as a public facility or to provide a public service, the Contractor warrants that it has established protections
that ensure that, in the event the Contractor entity ceases to exist, ownership of the property acquired or improved

SCOPE OF SERVICES
PR_ OJECT DESCRIPTION, OBJECTIVES, & REQUIREMENTS
The Project consists of the acquisition through a five year lease from the Bessemer Historical Society,
a non - profit Colorado corporation, of 43,206 square feet of space in the Annex Building, at 1612 East
Abriendo. The building and its facilities will be used for the storage, maintenance, and preservation of
the historic archives of the Colorado Fuel and Iron Corporation (CF &I). During the five year lease
period an archival museum facility will be developed for the permanent conservation and public display
of this unique cultural resource.
Specific eligible Project expenses include all items listed above.
Energy /Mineral Impact Assistance funds in the amount of $ 300,000 are provided under this Contract
to finance Project costs. The Contractor is responsible for all Project cost in excess of $ 300,000.
During a period of five (5) years following the date of closeout of the Project by the State, if the
Contractor decides that it is appropriate to change the use of the property to a use which the State
determines does not qualify, the Contractor must reimburse to the State the value of the lease from that
point forward. At the end of the five (5) year period following the Project closeout date and thereafter,
no State restrictions on use of the property shall be in effect.
Copies of any and all contracts entered into by the Contractor in order to accomplish this Project shall
be submitted to the Department of Local Affairs, Field Services Section, upon execution, and any and
all contracts entered into by the Contractor or any of its subcontractors shall comply with all applicable
Federal and Colorado State laws and shall be governed by the laws of the State of Colorado
notwithstanding provisions therein to the contrary.
2. ENERGY AND MINERAL IMPACT
CF & I has produced rail, pipe and mining hardware from coal, coke and minerals extracted from
Colorado mines for the last 100 years. Over 100 years of impacts to this vast energy and mineral
dependent industry have been focused on the Bessemer neighborhood. The neighborhood has never
fully recovered from the mill down - sizing in the mid- 1980s, and with Rocky Mountain Steel recently
vacating the headquarters, the neighborhood has suffered an additional blow.
3, TIME OF PERFORMANCE
The Project shall commence upon the full and proper execution of this Contract and shall be completed
on or before July 31, 2003, However, in accordance with Paragraph 8 contained within the main body
of this Contract, the Project time of performance may be extended by Change Letter, subject to mutual
agreement of the State and Contractor. To initiate this process, a written request shall be submitted
to the State by the Contractor at least thirty (30) days prior to January 31, 2003, and shall include a full
justification for the time extension.
This Contract shall remain in full force and effect after completion of the Project and shall expire only
upon full performance by both parties of their obligations hereunder.

ISSUE
Shall the City Council enter into a Contract with the Department of Local .Affairs for
$300,000, which will be used by the City to lease for five years 43,206 sq. ft. from the
Bessemer Historical Society for the storage, maintenance, and preservation of the historic
archives of the Colorado Fuel and Iron Corporation (CF &I).
RECOMMENDATION
Enter into the Contract.
BACKGROUND
The Bessemer Historical Society (BHS) is entering into a Contract with Rocky Mountain
Steel to purchase the former CF &I Headquarters property bounded by Abriendo Avenue
on the west, I -25 on the east, Jones Avenue on the south and Bay State Avenue on the
north. The acquisition will be accomplished through a series of smaller acquisitions with
the first being the Historic Headquarters Building and the Dispensary, the second will be
the annex structure, and the third the sales office (steel building). The five -year lease
with BHS will allow BHS to acquire the annex portion of the complex and accomplish
two objectives. The first is the moving of all the archives currently stored in the Historic
Headquarters Building and the Medical Dispensary into the annex and begin the
maintenance and preservation of the archives. With the archives removed from the two
historic structures, BHS can begin the stabilization and rehabilitation of the headquarters
and dispensary buildings. This action only accepts the money from the Department of
Local Affairs. With the acceptance of this Contract, the staff will begin the negotiation of
a five -year lease agreement with BHS, which will be placed on the Council's January

historic structures, BHS can begin the stabilization and rehabilitation of the headquarters
