Option Letter #2, EIAF 8974-Pueblo Arkansas River Trail System Construction
AMENDMENT TO THE
INTERGOVERNMENTAL AGREEMENT OF
MARCH 12, 2020
This Amendment is entered into as of this 22nd day of November, 2021 ("Effective Date"),
by and between the Pueblo Conservancy District, a district established under the
Conservancy Law of Colorado, hereinafter referred to as the "District," and the City of
Pueblo, a Colorado Municipal Corporation, hereinafter referred to as the "City." Together
these entities may be referred to herein as the "Parties" or each individually as a "Party".
Whereas, an Intergovernmental Agreement was entered into on March 12, 2020 (the
"Agreement") between the District and the City, relating to the construction and funding
of certain improvements with respect to the Arkansas River Levee Trail Project; and,
Whereas, the Parties desire to amend the Agreement to reflect that the District shall be
contracting for the purchase of the Pedestrian Bridge Main Street and related changes
based thereon requested by and agreeable to the Parties.
Now therefore the Parties agree as follows:
1. The definition of "Joint Improvements" in Section 1.1 of the Agreement shall be
deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:
"Project Improvements" shall mean the Pedestrian Bridge Main Street (including
purchase, erection and site construction), Levee Trail connection at Clark Street, and
1,200 linear feet of 6-inch fiber reinforced concrete trail beginning at approximately
drop structure eight and continuing south to the Main Street pedestrian bridge.
2. Section 2.1 of the Agreement shall be deleted in its entirety and replaced with the
following:
2.1 The District shall timely construct the Project Improvements and Additional
Improvements in accordance with plans and specifications approved by City and
provided to the District in a timely manner to avoid construction delays. Subject to the
requirements set forth herein and the below Section 2.5, the City shall reimburse the
District for the costs and expenses incurred by District and necessary for construction
and completion of the Project Improvements and Additional Improvements; provided,
however, in no event shall City be obligated to pay more than $1,682,433.00 for
construction and completion of the Project Improvements. With respect to the
purchase of Pedestrian Bridge Main Street, the City will make the following payments
to the District ("Bridge Payment"): (a) $208,593.00 on the date the District places the
order for bridge manufacturing, (b) $347,656.00 on the date the construction drawings
are approved, (c) $139,062.00 on the date of shipping, d) $142,842.50 on the date
the bridge arrives in Pueblo and e) $175,217.50 on the date site work commences.
The remaining balance of payment for the bridge pursuant to the July 20, 2021 bid
from Bridge Brothers, shall be paid ten days from the date of receipt by City of an
invoice for same from Bridge Brothers. For all other Bridge Payment dates, the District
shall provide at least ten days notice to Beritt Odom, Principal Planner City Planning
and Community Development Department ("City Administrator") prior to any of said
dates occurring and any reasonably requested documentation, that the acts for which
the payment is to be made has or will occur. The City shall be responsible for all costs
associated with failure to pay the invoices received from Bridge Brothers within ten
days of receipt of the invoices.
An invoice from Bridge Brothers shall be all the documentation required by the City
for payment of the bridge; provided, however, the District shall provide any and all
documentation reasonably requested by City in a timely manner which is necessary
to process repayment for any Bridge Payment under the applicable grant in a timely
manner and no later than August 27, 2022. The District shall be responsible to City
for all expenses including unreimbursed grant funds associated with any such failure
to provide such information timely.
All other requests for reimbursement shall be submitted to and approved by the City's
Administrator and shall outline the items invoiced, work performed and the cost of
same ("Approved Request"). Thereafter, City shall pay the District for the amount of
the Approved Request within thirty (30)days of the date of receipt; provided, however,
no payment will be made for any Approved Request or Bridge Payment if invoices
and other documentation which is necessary to process repayment under the Grant
Agreement is not received on or before August 27, 2022. If necessary, City shall use
good faith efforts to request an extension of the grant expiration term under any
applicable grant. The City shall not unreasonably withhold approval of a request for
reimbursement. The District represents that it does not have the cash reserves to fund
the Project Improvements and any Additional Improvements without being paid for
same within 30 days of being billed for same. Any payment not made by the City
within said 30 days shall bear interest at the lawful rate of interest.
3. Section 2.5 of the Agreement shall be deleted in its entirety and replaced with the
following:
District shall engage a contractor to perform the Project Improvements and Additional
Improvements in compliance with the requirements of §37-3-110, C.R.S.; provided,
however, District shall engage Bridge Brothers, Inc., to purchase the Pedestrian
Bridge Main Street and perform all services set forth in said company's July 20, 2021
Bid re RFP 21-035 Design, Fabrication and Delivery of 233' Clear-Span Pedestrian

specifications set forth in the RFP and Bid are approved by City and District. Only
those amounts paid to a contractor pursuant to such contracts shall be reimbursed
under the provisions of the above Section 2.1.
4. The Agreement shall be amended by the addition of a new section 2.6 to read as
follows:
2.6 Sales and use tax which may accrue and be owed by the District, Bridge Brothers,
Inc., or any subcontractor of Bridge Brothers, Inc., or the District with respect to the
purchase of the Pedestrian Bridge Main Street and all construction material, as
defined in Section 14-4-21(6), P.M.C., used or consumed in the performance of the

or any subcontractor of Bridge Brothers, Inc., shall be provided by City's Sales Tax
Division in a timely manner so as not to delay any payment by the City to the District
an exemption certificate consistent with the foregoing scope and limitations. It is
expressly stipulated and acknowledged that this waiver only extends to the
enumerated items and does not extend to any other property including but not limited
to construction equipment.
5. This Amendment is subject to and conditioned upon passage of an Ordinance by City
Council of City approving this Amendment on or before November 22, 2021 and by
approval of the District on or before November 22, 2021.
