Box 1427, Pueblo, CO 81002 - 14227, FEIN: 846000615, hereinafter referred to as the Local Agency, or the contractor. FACTUAL RECITALS. 1. 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 Phase C Reporting Category 2250, Contract Encumbrance Number 12593, (Contract Encumbrance Amount: $474,000.00). 2. Required approval, clearance and coordination has been accomplished from and with appropriate agencies. 3. Pursuant to Title I, Subtitle A, Section 1108 of the Transportation Equity Act for the 21 st Century of 1998 (T -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. 4. 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. 4.5 The Local Agency has requested that a certain local highway project be funded as part of the program, 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 I 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. 5. Federal -aid funds have been made available for project, STM M086 -026 for replacement of Stop/Yield signs and street name signs at approximately 1,000 intersections in the City of Pueblo Colorado as more specifically described in Exhibit A (the Form #463 and/or a "Scope of Work "), hereinafter referred to as "the project" or "the work ". Since none of the intersections involve a State Highway, the State is not obligated to provide funding for the work under Section 43 -2 -135 (1) (i) C.R.S. 6. The matching ratio for this federal -aid project is 82.79% federal -aid funds to 17.21% 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 %. 7. 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. 8. 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. 9. This contract is executed under the authority of Sections 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. 10. The parties hereto desire to agree upon the division of responsibilities with regard to the project. 11. The Local Agency is adequately staffed and suitably equipped to undertake and satisfactorily complete some or all of the Work. 12. 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; 2 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 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 1. "The project" or "the Work" under this contract shall consist of the Local Agency replacing Stop/Yield signs and street name signs at approximately 1,000 intersections, hereinafter referred to as "the project" or "the Work" in the City of 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. Since none of the intersections involve a State Highway, the State is not obligated to provide funding for the work under Section 43 -2 -135 (1) (i) C.R.S. III. 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 RESPONSIBILITY 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 3 contract in performing the Work, including those process and task responsibilities addressed 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 A. The Local Agency has estimated the total cost the Work to be $474,000.00 which is to be funded as follows: a. Federal participating funds: (82.79% of $474,000.00) $392,425.00 b. Local Agency participating share: (17.21 % of $474,000.00) $ 81,575.00 Total Funds: H. 111 11 B. The matching ratio for the federal participating funds for this project is 82.79% federal -aid funds (CFDA #20 2050) to 17.21% Local Agency funds, it being understood that such ratio applies only to the $474,000.00 that is eligible for federal participation, it being further understood that all non - participating costs are borne by the Local Agency at 100 %. If the total actual cost of performance of the Work exceeds $474,000.00, and additional federal funds are made available for the project, the Local Agency shall pay 17.21% of all such costs eligible for federal participation and 100% of all nonparticipating costs; if additional federal funds are not made available, the local agency shall pay all such excess costs. If the total actual cost of performance of the Work is less than $474,000.00, then the amounts of Local Agency and federal -aid funds will be decreased in accordance with the funding ratio described herein. The performance of the Work shall be at no cost to the State. C. The maximum amount payable to the Local Agency under this contract shall be $392,425.00, unless such amount is increased by an appropriate written modification to this contract executed before any increased cost is incurred. It is understood and agreed by the parties hereto that the total cost of the Work stated hereinbefore is the best estimate available, based on the design data as approved at the time of execution of this contract, and that such cost is subject to revisions (in accord with the procedure in the previous sentence) agreeable to the parties prior to bid and award. 4 D. The parties hereto agree that this contract is contingent upon all funds designated for the project herein being made available from federal and/or state and/or Local Agency sources, as applicable. Should these sources, either federal or Local Agency, fail to provide necessary funds as agreed upon herein, the contract may be terminated by either party, provided that any party terminating its interest and obligations herein shall not be relieved of any obligations which existed prior to the effective date of such termination or which may occur as a result of such termination.

In the event that federal-aid project funds remain available for payment, the Local Agency understands and agrees the costs of any such services and assistance shall be paid to the State from project funds at the applicable rate. However, in the event that such funding is not made available or is withdrawn for this contract, or if the Local Agency terminates this contract prior to project approval or completion for any reason, then all actual incurred costs of such services and assistance provided by the State shall be the sole expense of the Local Agency. C. If the Local Agency is to be billed for CDOT incurred direct costs, the billing procedure shall be as follows: 1. 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.
