markings. On August 1, 2005, the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) will transfer
administrative control, maintenance and ownership of Harmony Road (State Highway 68)
between College Avenue and I-25 to the City of Fort Collins. Therefore, reducing the number of
traffic signals maintained to 45 traffic signals, 77 crosswalks and 7.4 miles of signs and
pavement markings. (A listing of locations is attached as Attachment 1). The contract amount
has been decreased from $160,104 to $142,104 annually. During the five year contract period,
traffic signals, crosswalks and stop bars can be added to the contract by submitting a Bilateral

For the efficiency of travel flow and the safety and convenience of the public, the City of Fort
Collins maintains and operates CDOT's traffic signals within the Urban Growth Area. The
traffic signals are connected to the City's Advanced Traffic Management System. A review of
the costs has shown that the reimbursement rate from CDOT is consistent with our costs.
