PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION: Ordinance 10787 dated September 9, 2024, established Project DT2401, which approved an IGA between the City and FHWA, budgeted and appropriated funds in the amount of $16,834,725.00 for the West Side Connector Project. Resolution 15880 approved on January 27, 2025, awarded a contract to Pinyon Environmental, Inc. for Project No. 24-136 Provide NEPA for West Side Improvements. Resolution 15901, dated February 10, 2025, awarded an Agreement for Professional Engineering Services to Bolton & Menk Inc to render design services for the West Side Improvements. Ordinance 11064, approved on October 27, 2025, approved the 1st Amendment to the IGA between the City and FHWA, regarding the Raise Grant program for the West Side Connector Project. Resolution 16913, dated December 8, 2025, awarded an agreement for professional Docusign Envelope ID: 19CB489A-B751-896E-836A-601985A84E8D services in the amount of $3,396,234.31 to Bolton & Menk, Inc for Project No. 25-002 Planning Consultant for 24th Street Bridge and Downtown Corridor. Resolution 16266, dated March 9, 2026, established a new Project Account HU2603, transferred funds in the amount of $37,621.43 from HUAN01 to HU2603, approved Amendment 2 to the agreement for professional services between the City and Pinyon Environmental, Inc. BACKGROUND: The City was awarded a RAISE Grant which funds several project components that will improve transportation connectivity between the west side of the City and downtown. In the first component, Sun Mountain Boulevard (formerly Spaulding Ave) will be extended from 24th Street to 31st Street. The second component will rehabilitate seventy (70) west side bus stops to comply with ADA standards. The third component consists of planning and design for a 24th Street bridge and traffic corridor to connect the west side area to downtown. This Ordinance approves the 2nd Amendment to the Intergovernmental Agreement, originally effective on September 11, 2024, between the City and FHWA. This Amendment modifies the scope of the project, by changing the intersections on Sun Mountain Boulevard to stop -sign controlled intersections instead of roundabouts and to change the number of bus stops to approximately 70. After a full warrant study was completed by Bolton & Menk, it was determined that roundabouts were not warranted on Sun Mountain Boulevard. In addition, the Amendment obligates funding in the amount of $11,834,725.00 for Option Phase 1: Construction of West Side Bus Stop Rehabilitation and Sun Mountain Boulevard Extension. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS: This amendment obligates the rest of the funding awarded by the Raise West Dide Connector Grant, in the amount of $11,834,725.00 BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: None. STAKEHOLDER PROCESS: None. ALTERNATIVES: Currently, there are no alternatives to completing the project without the construction funds. RECOMMENDATION: Approve the Ordinance. ATTACHMENTS: 1.

During early investigations into the list of stops it was determined that 12 of them had recently been improved and therefore did not need additional improvements. City Transit provided a list of 10 stops to be added. As design progressed one of the stops was removed by City Transit. The resultant number of stops is 67, of which 10 are new stops and 57 are existing stops being improved. In the original application, the Sun Mountain Boulevard intersections at 31 st Street and future 27th Street were identified as roundabouts based on conceptual development configurations in adjacent parcels and assumptions about roadway cross-section needs. Note that the roundabout proposed at the future 27th Street was removed due to changes in future development plans, no longer requiring the intersection. The current design provides developer flexibility and does not preclude an intersection or connection when development applications are planned. It is anticipated that at that time, an analysis for intersection configuration types and operational analysis would be performed. During the design phase, the City's consultant performed a comprehensive screening of alternatives, including traditional roundabouts, mini -roundabouts, minor -street stop control, and all -way stop control (AWSC). While traffic modeling indicated that all alternatives would operate at an acceptable Level of Service (LOS D or better), the full roundabout option was eliminated due to significant right-of- way (ROW) and utility impacts. These impacts would have resulted in substantial cost increases and schedule delays, ultimately risking the federal funding obligation deadline. From a safety improvement perspective, it is acknowledged that the removal of the roundabout intersections along the northern segment of the project eliminates certain inherent safety benefits associated with roundabout control. The stop -controlled configuration at 31 st Street was shown to have LOS performance at LOS D or better which indicates adequate gap availability. With traffic exposure as a consideration, the likelihood of angled, and left -turn crashes are reduced with the lower conflict frequency. The updated design incorporates several elements that enhance safety performance along the proposed segment relative to the original conceptual design. At the time of the grant application, the required cross-section envisioned by the applicant was based on City of Pueblo's Roadway Classification Design Standards and Policies which indicates a 3+ lane configuration for collector roadways. During project development, the roadway cross-section was analyzed by applying context sensitive design practices which reduced the cross-section along the northern segment. This cross-section associated with the collector functional classification status of Sun Mountain Boulevard is not currently included in the City of Pueblo's Roadway Classification Design Standards and Policies and was developed in conjunction with the City's vision of the facility once the previous development plans were changed. This revised cross-section is a unique application compared to City standards to introduce additional safety benefits by 12 of 21 Docusign Envelope ID: 4A7FF308-6678-8DD5-8185-12256C5DF6B1 693JJ32440495 Amendment 2 Page 13 of 21 decreasing pedestrian crossing distances and contributing traffic -calming effects. This is expected to result in lowered and consistent operating speeds and improved driver attentiveness. In addition, the project enhances multimodal safety and accessibility. A shared -use path is provided along the east side of the northern segment, offset up to 24 feet from the roadway. This separation increases user comfort and safety by reducing exposure to vehicular traffic, when compared to multimodal facilities immediately adjacent to vehicular travel lanes. The shared -use path also fills a critical network gap, as there are currently no continuous north -south multimodal facilities in the immediate vicinity of Sun Mountain Boulevard. Collectively, these modifications improve pedestrian and bicyclist safety and reduce vehicle speeds through geometric design that aligns with the safety intent of the originally proposed roundabout treatments, while remaining feasible within the project constraints and consistent with the realities of how the project has unfolded versus assumptions made during the grant application. The minor -street stop -controlled T-intersection at 31st Street is the preferred alternative and appropriate for the conditions because it meets operational and safety goals while minimizing cost and ROW footprints. This intersection control would minimize delays along the major street (Sun Mountain Boulevard) therefore benefiting emissions with less intersection approaches required to completely stop. With the geometric improvements along the segment implemented south of the 31 st Street intersection, system -wide improvements can be achieved. The City of Pueblo can introduce pedestrian crossing awareness countermeasures through proven low-cost technology such as an RRFB at the 31 st Street intersection to increase crosswalk yielding compliance. In the application, the City thought that ROW acquisition would be needed for bus stops. Final design determined that all bus stop -related scope of work can be completed within the existing ROW. As ROW acquisitionis no longer required, the ROW phase is proposed to be removed from this project. Schedule: In Amendment No. 1, one date was listed incorrectly. The Actual NEPA Completion (West Side Bus Stops of Base Phase) should be 1/30/2026 instead of 1/29/2026. The updated Actual NEPA Completion Date for Sun Mountain Boulevard is 4/15/2026. The Planned Construction Substantial Completion and Open to Traffic Dates are not changed from the first Amendment. The baseline performance measurement date has moved from January 31, 2026, to August 31, 2026. This is to align it with the current planned construction start three to four months after this amendment execution. Budget: There are no changes in project budget from the first amendment. Due to the changes described in the Scope section above, there is no need to have additional ROW for the 13 of 21 Docusign Envelope ID: 4A7FF308-6678-8DD5-8185-12256C5DF6B1 693JJ32440495 Amendment 2 Page 14 of 21 construction of bus stops and Sun Mountain Blvd, and these ROW funds are moved to the construction phase. In addition, with NEPA completed for both trail components, the current plan is to authorize and obligate both projects together, instead of the previously planned separate obligations. Other: This amendment obligates funding in the amount of $11,834,725 for Option Phase 1: West Side Bus Stop Rehabilitations and Sun Mountain Boulevard Extension as provided in the Obligation Condition Table in Schedule D. 14 of 21 Docusign Envelope ID: 4A7FF308-6678-8DD5-8185-12256C5DF6B1 693JJ32440495 Amendment 2 Page 15 of 21 CHANGES FROM ORIGINAL GRANT AGREEMENT Scope: No Changes Schedule: Changes in milestone dates from the agreement are based on the current project schedule. Changes to the schedule are due to numerous reasons, including: • The environmental scoping meeting held on June 24, 2024, indicated that the class of NEPA action for Sun Mountain Boulevard would be a "Simple Categorical Exclusion". However, since that time the class of action has been redefined to be an "Environmental Assessment." Additional time is required to accommodate the higher level of action, which includes more reviews, public notice, public comment, development of a decision document, etc. • Survey and final siting for the West Side Bus Stops has taken longer than expected. Further, with respect to the Section 106 process, it is expected that a higher level of review for historic resources will be required due to the number of locations and historic properties/districts. • Coordination with the developer that is associated with lands adjacent to the Sun Mountain Boulevard project area has been time consuming. The project requires traffic data to conduct noise analysis for this project; the project team has had difficulty securing and validating the traffic data that would be provided by others. • The initial IGA process with FHWA, as well as the release of the initial RFP, took longer than originally anticipated. As this was the City's first time serving as a direct recipient grantee, our internal review process required additional time. The design of 24th Street bridge over the RR tracks and the connection to downtown Pueblo is expected to take much longer time because of the coordination with railroad and the coordination with the ongoing downtown Pueblo master study. We expect the final design and the ROW acquisition will be complected by June 30, 2028. • We request to have six more months to complete the construction of the bus shelters and Sun Mountain because of multiple advertising packages and the construction of water quality pond.
