SUBJECT
Items Relating to the Horsetooth Road and College Avenue Intersection.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
A. Resolution 2017-027 Authorizing the Execution of an Intergovernmental Agreement Between the City and
the Colorado Department of Transportation for the Horsetooth Road and College Avenue Intersection
Improvements Project.
B. First Reading of Ordinance No. 040, 2017, Appropriating Unanticipated Grant Revenue From the North
Front Range Metropolitan Planning Organization and the Colorado Department of Transportation in the
Capital Projects Fund for the Horsetooth Road and College Avenue Intersection Improvements Project.
The purpose of this item is to authorize the Mayor to sign an intergovernmental agreement to receive grant
funds (IGA), and to appropriate funds for the design, right-of-way acquisition, and construction of the
Horsetooth Road and College Avenue Intersection Improvements Project. The City was approved for two
federally funded grants, one through the North Front Range Metropolitan Planning Organization (“NFRMPO”),
category Surface Transportation Program (STP-Metro), for operational and safety improvements; and the
second a Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) grant awarded through the Colorado Department of
Transportation (CDOT). The grant applications were based on the addition of northbound and southbound dual
left turn lanes. Single left turn lanes currently exist for northbound and southbound traffic. Additionally, the
project may include right turn pockets, multi-modal improvements, median and landscaping improvements, and
pavement improvements.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends adoption of the Resolution and Ordinance on First Reading.
BACKGROUND / DISCUSSION
The City Engineering Department completed an Arterial Intersection Prioritization Study in 2011, which listed
the Horsetooth Road and College Avenue intersection as one of the locations for needed safety and
operational improvements. Existing problems identified at this intersection include a high number of left turn
crashes for northbound and southbound traffic and heavy congestion during peak traffic periods. The project
will include multi-modal facility improvements in order to create a safer and more efficient intersection for all
types of users. According to the Arterial Intersection Prioritization Study, benefits will include delay reduction of
18.1 vehicle hours of travel per day and an estimated accident reduction of 25% (9.3 fewer accidents per
year).
The adopted Midtown in Motion Plan identifies conceptual traffic and multi-modal improvements at this
intersection. City staff will seek opportunities to incorporate identified improvements while balancing contextual
sensitivity and budget constraints. A Project location map is included as Attachment 1.
Agenda Item 9
Item # 9 Page 2
Project Goals:
Improve safety for vehicle, bicycle, pedestrian and other multi-modal travel
Reduce congestion for vehicle travel
Upgrade the intersection to current Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) standards
CITY FINANCIAL IMPACTS
The Ordinance authorizes the appropriation of unanticipated federal grant revenue from the STP-Metro Grant
and from the Highway Safety Improvement Program in the Capital Projects Fund for the Horsetooth Road and
College Avenue Intersection Improvements Project for design, right-of-way acquisition and construction of the
Horsetooth Road and College Avenue Intersection Improvements Project.
The grants become available in three different Colorado Department of Transportation fiscal years. The City
applied for the STP-Metro grant through the NFRMPO as part of the 2016-2019 Call for Projects. The STP-
Metro grant was awarded through a competitive process. The City applied for the Highway Safety
Improvement Program grant through the Colorado Department of Transportation, and was awarded the funds
through a competitive process.
The following table lists the funding sources and amounts associated with the grants and BFO funding:
Funding Summary
Funding Source Funding Amount
STP-Metro Grant $2,368,000
HSIP Grant $1,000,000
2017-2018 City Budget (BFO) Process $1,000,000
Total $4,368,000
Local matching funds for the grants in the amount of $603,361 will be applied from money previously
appropriated in the 2017-2018 City Budget. The grants are not eligible for Art in Public Places (APP) per
applicable regulations. However, APP for the local matching funds has already been appropriated.
Depending on final scope of improvements, current funding sources may not be sufficient for construction.
Staff is currently seeking additional funding opportunities, including grants and the CCIP ¼ cent sales tax
funding dedicated to arterial intersection improvements.
BOARD / COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION
The project will be presented to the Transportation Board for comment after the preliminary design phase is
completed.
PUBLIC OUTREACH
City staff will develop a project website through the Engineering homepage as the first resource for public
outreach. A detailed communication plan will be developed and implemented starting in the preliminary design
phase and continuing through construction. The communication plan will highlight milestone dates, affected
interests and specific outreach methods.
The project team will host one or more public open houses and keep the project website updated with current
information.

expense during their useful life, in a manner satisfactory to the State and FHWA. The Local Agency will make proper
provisions for such maintenance obligations each year. Such maintenance and operations shall be conducted in
accordance with all applicable statutes, ordinances and regulations which define the Local Agency’s obligations to
maintain such improvements. The State and FHWA will make periodic inspections of the project to verify that such
improvements are being adequately maintained.
Section 12. Record Keeping
The Local Agency shall maintain a complete file of all records, documents, communications, and other written
materials, which pertain to the costs incurred under this contract. The Local Agency shall maintain such records for
a period of three (3) years after the date of termination of this contract or final payment hereunder, whichever is later,
or for such further period as may be necessary to resolve any matters which may be pending. The Local Agency shall
make such materials available for inspection at all reasonable times and shall permit duly authorized agents and
employees of the State and FHWA to inspect the project and to inspect, review and audit the project records.
Section 13. Termination Provisions
This contract may be terminated as follows:
A. Termination for Convenience. The State may terminate this contract at any time the State determines that the
purposes of the distribution of moneys under the contract would no longer be served by completion of the project.
The State shall effect such termination by giving written notice of termination to the Local Agency and specifying
the effective date thereof, at least twenty (20) days before the effective date of such termination.
B. Termination for Cause. If, through any cause, the Local Agency shall fail to fulfill, in a timely and proper manner,
its obligations under this contract, or if the Local Agency shall violate any of the covenants, agreements, or
stipulations of this contract, the State shall thereupon have the right to terminate this contract for cause by giving

Page 7 of 13
written notice to the Local Agency of its intent to terminate and at least ten (10) days opportunity to cure the
default or show cause why termination is otherwise not appropriate. In the event of termination, all finished or
unfinished documents, data, studies, surveys, drawings, maps, models, photographs and reports or other material
prepared by the Local Agency under this contract shall, at the option of the State, become its property, and the
Local Agency shall be entitled to receive just and equitable compensation for any services and supplies delivered
and accepted. The Local Agency shall be obligated to return any payments advanced under the provisions of this
contract.
Notwithstanding the above, the Local Agency shall not be relieved of liability to the State for any damages
sustained by the State by virtue of any breach of the contract by the Local Agency, and the State may withhold
payment to the Local Agency for the purposes of mitigating its damages until such time as the exact amount of
damages due to the State from the Local Agency is determined.
If after such termination it is determined, for any reason, that the Local Agency was not in default or that the
Local Agency’s action/inaction was excusable, such termination shall be treated as a termination for convenience,
and the rights and obligations of the parties shall be the same as if the contract had been terminated for
convenience, as described herein.
C. Termination Due to Loss of Funding. The parties hereto expressly recognize that the Local Agency is to be paid,
reimbursed, or otherwise compensated with federal and/or State funds which are available to the State for the
purposes of contracting for the Project provided for herein, and therefore, the Local Agency expressly understands
and agrees that all its rights, demands and claims to compensation arising under this contract are contingent upon
availability of such funds to the State. In the event that such funds or any part thereof are not available to the
State, the State may immediately terminate or amend this contract.
Section 14. Legal Authority
The Local Agency warrants that it possesses the legal authority to enter into this contract and that it has taken all
actions required by its procedures, by-laws, and/or applicable law to exercise that authority, and to lawfully authorize
its undersigned signatory to execute this contract and to bind the Local Agency to its terms. The person(s) executing
this contract on behalf of the Local Agency warrants that such person(s) has full authorization to execute this contract.
