EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The State of Colorado currently reimburses the City of Fort Collins for the operation and
maintenance of 46 traffic signals and 11.6 miles of signs and markings. The contract amount has
been increased this year from $142,104 to $193,440 annually. During the five year period, traffic
signals and lane miles can be added to the contract by submitting a Bilateral Change Order.
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. This is a standard
contract and payment schedule that CDOT has with all municipalities in Colorado.
