AN ORDINANCE APPROVING A MAINTENANCE CONTRACT BETWEEN THE CITY
OF PUEBLO, A MUNICIPAL CORPORATION, AND THE COLORADO DEPARTMENT
OF TRANSPORTATION FOR 4 STREET BRIDGE MAINTENANCE
ISSUE
Should the City enter into a contract with the Colorado Department of Transportation to
provide maintenance for limited items on the new 4 Street bridge currently under
construction.
Approval of Ordinance
BACKGROUND
Section §43 -2 -135 of the Colorado Revised Statutes (C.R.S) establishes jurisdiction,
control and the duty of both the City and State with respect to state highway traversing
through a City. The attached agreement establishes maintenance responsibilities for
items associated with the reconstruction of the 4 Street bridge that are not specifically
addressed in this section of the C.R.S. such as trash removal, snow removal,
landscaping.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
All maintenance activities, with the exception of the landscape maintenance, are
existing responsibilities of the City of Pueblo. With respect to the landscaping, the
native grass areas and irrigation will be maintained by the Parks Department. All other
maintenance activities, such as shrub and perennial care and drip irrigation, may be
contracted at an additional cost of approximately $8,400 annually.
