SAID PROJECT AND AUTHORIZING THE MAYOR TO EXECUTE SAME
SUMMARY:
This Ordinance establishes the Great Outdoors Colorado (GOCO) Bessemer Academy Play Yard
Initiative Project, PL1904 and budgets and appropriates funds by approving a grant from the
GOCO Trust Fund in the amount of $110,000 and approves an Intergovernmental Agreement
between the City of Pueblo, a Colorado Municipal Corporation, and Pueblo School District No.
60, wherein, to the extent possible, the District assumes all other City liabilities, and binds itself
to the City for and will undertake, assume and perform all the City’s obligations contained in the
Grant Agreement.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:
Resolution 14130 authorized the City of Pueblo to submit a grant application for the 2019 School
Yard Initiative for the Bessemer Academy Play Yard Initiative Project to the State Board of Great
Outdoors Colorado.
BACKGROUND:
GOCO requires schools to partner with an eligible local government to act as the sponsor for
School Yard Initiative Grants and serve as the fiscal agent if the grant is awarded. Because of
this, the City of Pueblo partnered with Pueblo City Schools, District No. 60, Bessemer Academy,
in applying for a $110,000 grant through the GOCO Trust Fund. Bessemer Academy will
introduce a thoughtfully designed inclusive play structure on the southern portion of the grass
field. The play structure will include double-wide ramps, play huts, inclusive slide, crawl tube, and
climbing components. Students from Bessemer Academy designed the play equipment so that
children of all physical abilities will have the ability to utilize the equipment.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Matching funds in the amount of $46,674 are required throughout the various phases of the
Project for receipt of the grant money. The matching funds have not been received by the City
but are to be raised and administered pursuant to the terms and the timeline approved in the grant
application. The IGA was entered into with the District 60 in part to relieve the City to the extent
possible from any liability with respect to any claim under the Grant Agreement including claims
for the matching funds.
GOCO School Yard Initiative Funds $ 110,000.00
Bessemer Academy Fundraising Funds $ 12,000.00
Bessemer Academy In-Kind $ 34,674.00
TOTAL $ 156,674.00
BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION:
None.
STAKEHOLDER PROCESS:
Bessemer Academy worked with parents, students, and the community to plan the playground
and raise matching funds.
ALTERNATIVES:
The Project will not go forward if the Ordinance is not approved.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
Approve the Ordinance.

RECITALS
A. The State Board of the Great Outdoors Colorado Trust Fund ("GOCO" or"Board") is a
political subdivision of the State of Colorado, created by Article XXVII of the Colorado
Constitution, adopted at the November 1992 General Election, which article appropriates a
portion of the net proceeds of the Colorado Lottery to GOCO and directs GOCO to invest those
proceeds in the state's parks, wildlife, open space, and recreational resources.
B. In 1994, GOCO created a statewide grant program pursuant to which eligible entities
could apply for grants for local government parks and outdoor recreation projects. Grantee listed
above ("Grantee") submitted a detailed project application ("Project Application") that
contemplates the execution of the project entitled above and described in GOCO's project
summary ("Project Summary"), attached and incorporated as Exhibit A ("Project"). GOCO
approved Grantee's Project Application, which is incorporated into this Agreement by reference,
on March 6, 2019, subject to the execution of a detailed grant agreement. GOCO and Grantee
each have on file a copy of the Project Application.
C. The parties intend this agreement to be the detailed grant agreement required by GOCO
("Agreement").
AGREEMENT
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the parties' mutual covenants contained in this
Agreement and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are
acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:
SECTION 1 —PROJECT
1. Incorporation of Recitals. The Recitals set forth above are incorporated into this
Agreement.
2. Representations and Warranties of Grantee. Grantee is a Municipality, duly organized in
accordance with the laws of Colorado and has full and lawful authority to enter into, and comply
with the terms of, this Agreement. Grantee's governing body has authorized entering into this
Agreement as evidenced by the resolution attached and incorporated as Exhibit B.
3. Grant and Project. GOCO awards to Grantee a grant in the amount not to exceed
$1 10,000.00 ("Grant"), subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement. The
Grant shall be used by Grantee solely to complete the Project in substantial conformity with the
final plans, specifications, designs, and uses approved by GOCO. In the event of a conflict
between the Project Application and the Project Summary, the parties shall resolve the conflict
by mutual agreement.

Updated 1/2019
DocuSign Envelope ID: 7B8AFAAF-DBB6-43C2-B70E-BO0AB5673610
4. Project Scope. Grantee shall not materially modify the Project without the prior written
approval of the Executive Director of GOCO ("Executive Director") or the Executive Director's
designee, such approval to be in GOCO's sole discretion. Any material modification to the
Project undertaken without GOCO's prior written consent may be deemed a breach of this
Agreement, entitling GOCO to all remedies available under this Agreement. If Grantee
determines with reasonable probability that the Project will not or cannot be completed as
approved by the Board, Grantee will promptly so advise the Board and cooperate in good faith to
seek a resolution before any further funds are advanced.
5. Grantee Efforts. Grantee agrees to use its best efforts to complete the Project in a timely
fashion, in a good and workmanlike manner, and consistent with this Agreement and GOCO's
approvals related to the Project.
6. Approved Budget. Grantee has completed a detailed budget that reflects all anticipated
sources and uses of funds for the Project, including a detailed accounting of Grantee's
anticipated direct costs associated with the Project, a copy of which is attached and incorporated
as Exhibit C ("Budget"). Eligible costs are described in Paragraph 10 of this Agreement. The
Project Application contains a budget that may not match the approved version attached as_
Exhibit C and which, therefore, shall not be relied upon by GOCO or Grantee. Where
discrepancies exist, the approved Budget in Exhibit C shall control until such time as GOCO
approves the final version.
7. Property Ownership. All properties on which GOCO-funded projects are located must be
owned by or under the control of the grant recipient for the useful life of the project. Grantee
warrants that it has good and sufficient title to the property or properties on which the Project is
to be located (the "Property"). GOCO may require Grantee to provide evidence of its ownership
of the Property and encumbrances against the Property satisfactory to GOCO in GOCO's
discretion prior to funding..
8. Waiver. Prior to the disbursement of funds, the Executive Director in his or her discretion
may waive certain conditions set forth in this Agreement. Anything else to the contrary
notwithstanding, the exercise by GOCO staff("Staff'), the Executive Director, or GOCO of any
right or discretion reserved to them under this Agreement shall not be deemed a waiver.
Furthermore, no waiver by them under this Agreement shall constitute a waiver of any other
requirements, actions, or conditions, nor shall any waiver granted be deemed a continuing
waiver. No waiver by the Staff, the Executive Director, or GOCO shall be effective unless in
writing executed by them. Additionally, any failure by the Staff, the Executive Director, or
GOCO to take any actions as set forth in this Agreement shall have no legal effect on the
contractual duties of Grantee. Further, no waiver with respect to this Project, Grant, or
Agreement shall constitute a waiver in any other GOCO-funded project.
9. Project Operation and Maintenance.
A. Subject to annual appropriations, Grantee shall operate, manage, and maintain the
Project in a reasonable state of repair for the purposes specified and for the useful life of the
Project stated in the Project Application, in accordance with product warranties and/or the
generally accepted standards in the parks/recreation community. Grantee has estimated a useful
Page 3 of 15
Updated 1/2019
DocuSign Envelope ID: 7B8AFAAF-DBB6-43C2-670E-B00AB5673610
life of 25 years in the Project Application. Grantee also shall provide and maintain access to the
Project and to the Property, regardless of the Property's ownership. Failure to comply with this
paragraph may be deemed a breach by Grantee under Paragraph 20 below.
B. GOCO shall not be liable for any cost of maintenance, management, or operation
of the Project.
C. Within 60 days of a reasonable request by the Board, Grantee will provide the
Board with adequate records reflecting the operating and maintenance costs of the Project and
provide the Board with such other information concerning the use of the Project by the public
and the impact of the Project.
D. Grantee's staff shall request during the Grantee's annual budget process an
appropriation sufficient to meet the financial obligations of Grantee under this Agreement.
Grantee will use its best efforts to fully consider such appropriation. The parties understand that
the Board is relying upon fair and full consideration of annual appropriation in its decision to
extend its resources and the Grant and to enter into this Agreement. In the event that Grantee
fails to appropriate sufficient funds to meet the obligations of this Agreement, Grantee shall
provide notice to the Board of the specific reason(s) for any decision not to appropriate funding.
Grantee's staff shall notify the Board of any recommendation not to fund or to partially fund the
annual appropriation necessary to fulfill Grantee's obligations under this Agreement.
10. Public Access. Grantee agrees, for itself and its successors in interest, to allow reasonable
public access to the Project for the term specified in Paragraph 8.A. Grantee may temporarily
close such public access for construction, maintenance, emergency situations, or other reasonable
purposes.
11. Insurance. Grantee shall maintain general liability insurance or self-insure for the entire
period of the Project for protection in the event of injury and/or damage. The insurance limits
shall not be less than $1,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 aggregate. If the Grantee
contracts with another organization to complete the Project, it is the responsibility of the Grantee
to ensure its contractor carries insurance that fulfills this requirement.
12. Future Funding. This Agreement and the Grant only apply to the Project specifically
described in this Agreement. GOCO makes no representations regarding future funding for
future phases of the Project, whether or not described in the Project Application, Project
Summary, or otherwise.

Page 4 of 15
Updated 1/2019
DocuSign Envelope ID: 7B8AFAAF-DBB6-43C2-670E-B00AB5673610
matching funds may not be used to pay for maintenance costs, administrative costs (such as

www.goco.org or by contacting GOCO). GOCO may, in its discretion, request additional
documentation to support making a Progress Payment. A Progress Payment shall not exceed
50%of the Grant or the maximum percentage of funds GOCO can expend for the project to date
based on the program's matching requirements, whichever is less. A Progress Payment shall be

public project performance bonds as a precondition to any disbursement under this Agreement.
E. Modifications. Payment of the Grant is subject to the Project being completed
with no material modifications made, except as otherwise agreed to in advance by GOCO in
accordance with this Agreement. The Grant will not be increased, but GOCO may reduce the

may include, but are not necessarily limited to, a reduction in the total cost of the Project, a
reduction in the size or number of recreational development components to be constructed,
changes to the nature of the recreational development components to be constructed, or any other
variance from the Project as presented in the Project Application. It is the sole responsibility of
Grantee to inform GOCO of any such modifications to the Project. GOCO strongly encourages

reflected in the Project Summary, without prior written approval of the Executive Director;

any extensions granted, or delays in the implementation of the Project have occurred that make

Log#: 19451
Funding Summary: Applicant Funding
Partner(s) Funding $34,675
GOCO Grant Amount $110,000
Total Project Cost $156,674
Project Description.:
Bessemer Academy in partnership with the City of Pueblo are requesting GOCO funds to build a new
all-inclusive playground. Improvements include upgrades to their existing garden, adding interactive
play panels, accessible surfacing, ramps and decks, slides and climbing wall.
$teff and Peer Reviewer Comments:
This will be the first K-5 playground at Bessemer Academy. The school only has a preschool
playground and older students use a district park across the street. Staff and reviewers were compelled
by the need of a new playground located on school grounds.
This project will increase access to outdoor recreation for students of all abilities and residents of the
surrounding neighborhood who are currently not well served by local facilities
The applicant made an impressive effort to identify partners, such as local occupational therapists and
physical therapists, who will help activate the school yard.
