Authority exists in the law and funds have been budgeted, appropriated and otherwise made available and a sufficient unencumbered balance thereof remains available for payment of project and Local Agency costs in Fund Number 400, Appropriation Code 010, Organization Number 9991, Program 2000, Function 3301, Object 2312 1P, Project STE M086 -038, Phase C, Reporting Category 2140, Contract Encumbrance Number 14192, (Contract Encumbrance Amount: $187,500.00). 2. Required approval, clearance and coordination have been accomplished from and with appropriate agencies. 3. Pursuant to Title I, Subtitle A, Section 1108 of the Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century of 1998 (TEA -21) and to applicable provisions of Title 23 of the United States Code and implementing regulations at Title 23 of the Code of Federal Regulations, as may be amended, (collectively referred to hereinafter as "the federal provisions "), certain Federal funds have been and will in the future be, allocated for highway projects requested by Local Agencies and eligible under the Surface Transportation Program that has been proposed by the State and approved by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), hereinafter referred to as the program. Page 1 of 23 4. Pursuant to § 1007(a) of TEA -21, at 23 U.S.C. § 133(d)(2), certain Surface Transportation Project funds are made available only for eligible "Transportation Enhancement Activities ", as defined in § 23 U.S.C. § 101(a), and this contract provides for the performance by the Local Agency of a project for an eligible Transportation Enhancement Activity. 5. Pursuant to § 43 -1 -223, C.R.S. and to applicable portions of the federal provisions, the State is responsible for the general administration and supervision of performance of projects in the program, including the administration of federal funds for a program project performed by a local agency under a contract with the State. 6. The Local Agency has requested that a certain local highway project be funded as part of the program as a Transportation Enhancement Activity, and the Local Agency Represents that the project is an eligible Transportation Enhancement Activity as defined in 23 U.S.C. § 101(a), and by the date of execution of this contract the Local Agency (and/or the State) has completed and submitted a preliminary version of CDOT form #463 describing the general nature of that project work. The Local Agency understands that, before the project work is actually started, the description of the project work in that CDOT form #463 will likely be revised as a result of design changes made by CDOT, in conjunction and coordination with the Local Agency, in its internal review process. The Local Agency desires to agree to perform the project work as described in the Form #463, as it may be revised in that Process. 7. Federal-aid funds have been made available for project, Arkansas River Trail Reconstruction (STE M086 -038) for construction of Arkansas River Trail reconstruction, as more specifically described in Exhibit A (the Form #463 and/or a "Scope of Work "), in, Pueblo, Colorado, hereinafter referred to as "the project" or "the work ". 8. The matching ratio for this federal -aid project is 80% federal-aid funds to 20% Local Agency funds, it being understood that such ratio applies only to such costs as are eligible for federal participation, it being further understood that all non - participating costs shall be borne by the Local Agency at 100 %. 9. The Local Agency desires to comply with the federal provisions and other applicable requirements, including the State's general administration and supervision of the project through this contract, in order to obtain federal funds for the project. Page 2 of 23 ,> I 10. The Local Agency has estimated the total cost of the Work and is prepared to provide its match share of the cost, as evidenced by an appropriate ordinance or resolution duly passed and adopted by the authorized representatives of the Local Agency, which expressly authorizes the Local Agency to enter into this contract and to expend its match share of the Work. A copy of this ordinance or resolution is attached hereto and incorporated herein as Exhibit B. 11. This contract is executed under the authority of §§ 29 -1 -203, 43 -1 -110, 43 -1 -116, 43- 2- 101(4)(c) and 43 -2 -144, C.R.S., as amended, and the Local Agency ordinance /resolution. 12. The parties hereto desire to agree upon the division of responsibilities with regard to the project. 13. The Local Agency is adequately staffed and suitably equipped to undertake and satisfactorily complete some or all of the Work. 14. The State certifies that such work can be more advantageously performed by the Local Agency. NOW, THEREFORE, it is hereby agreed that: I. STANDARD FORM CONTRACT This is a standard form contract that is designed to efficiently contract for and administer 2 types of program projects: 1) program projects which include the same basic work elements (design; construction; construction administration by local agency; right -of -way; utilities; etc.); and, also, 2) program projects with specific differences in those basic work elements (e g, a specific project may include design but no construction, or it may include design and construction but the State will do the construction administration, etc.) The form contract accommodates both types of projects by using qualifying language to condition the application of particular contract requirements, based on whether specific work elements are included in the project. For instance, where the contract provides ... "If the Work includes engineering/design services, the Local Agency shall perform the following requirements ... ", the Local Agency need perform those requirements only if engineering/design services are expressly included in the project, as defined in the Scope of Work. (Conversely, notwithstanding Page 3 of 23 that language is in the contract, the Local Agency can ignore those "requirements" if engineering/design services are NOT expressly included in the Scope of Work.) The Local Agency shall interpret such qualifying language in that manner. By using such language, the form contract can apply to both the general and the specific types of projects, thus making it easier to administer and saving the State and the Local Agency time and expense. H. PROJECT DESCRIPTION "The project" or "the Work" under this contract shall consist of construction of Arkansas River Trail reconstruction, in Pueblo, Colorado, as more specifically described in Exhibit A, attached hereto and made a part hereof (the Form #463 and/or a "Scope of Work ") as it may be revised by the parties in the design review process before the project work is actually started. M. INCORPORATION BY REFERENCE All federal and state statutes, regulations, specifications, administration checklists, directives, procedures, documents, and publications that are specifically identified and/or referenced in this contract, together with all exhibits and attachments and addenda to this contract, are incorporated herein by this reference as terms and conditions of this contract as though fully set forth. IV. WORK RESPONSIBILTTY The Local Agency shall be responsible to perform (all design and/or right -of -way and/or utility and/or construction and/or construction administration tasks required to complete) the Work, and the Local Agency shall comply with all applicable terms and conditions of this contract in performing the Work, including those process and task responsibilities and standards as specifically indicated in the Pre - Construction and Construction Administration Checklists attached hereto and made a part hereof. The responsible party shall perform all such tasks in accordance with applicable requirements and standards, including those in this contract and in applicable law. V. PROJECT FUNDING PROVISIONS Page 4 of 23 The funding provisions for the project are attached hereto and incorporated herein as Exhibit C. VI.

F. If the Local Agency is to be billed for CDOT incurred direct costs, the billing procedure shall be as follows: Upon receipt of each bill from the State, the Local Agency will remit to the State the amount billed no later than 45 days after receipt of each bill.
