SUBJECT
Resolution 2017-111 Authorizing the Execution of an Intergovernmental Agreement Between the City and the
Colorado Department of Transportation for the Maintenance of Traffic Signals, Signs, and Markings Within the
Fort Collins Growth Management Area.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The purpose of this item is to approve an intergovernmental agreement between the City and Colorado
Department of Transportation (CDOT) for the City to maintain traffic control devices (signals, signs, and
markings) on state highways within the City’s Growth Management Area. Historically, these IGAs have been
for 5-year terms; however, the current IGA expired in June 2017 and City has still been performing the
maintenance services. CDOT is working on an updated long-term IGA, but it will not be ready until next year.
This IGA, set to expire in June 2018, covers the interim period and allows City to be reimbursed for maintaining
traffic control devices during CDOT’s 2018 fiscal year in the amount of $235,920. This IGA reflects updated
costs from the previous agreement.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends adoption of the Resolution.
BACKGROUND / DISCUSSION
The City has a long-standing agreement with CDOT for the City to maintain CDOT traffic control devices within
the City's Growth Management Area. The agreement is beneficial to both the City and CDOT. Since the City’s
citizens are the primary users of the transportation system in Fort Collins, having local control of the signals
and other devices allows staff to best serve local needs such as providing prompt service due to proximity and
managing the signals in a more detailed way than CDOT would. At the same time, CDOT is supportive of
having fewer maintenance responsibilities. City staff reviewed the costs of maintenance of traffic control
devices since the 2012 contract and requested an increase in payment for signing/marked based on that
review. Updated payment amounts are reflected in this contract.
CITY FINANCIAL IMPACTS
This contract requires CDOT to reimburse the City of Fort Collins Traffic Operations Department for
maintenance of traffic signals, signage, and pavement markings on State Highways at the rate of:
11.6 miles of signs and markings at $350 per mile per month = $ 48,720/year
48 signals at $325 per signal per month = $ 187,200 /year.
Total Maximum Annual Reimbursement: $ 235,920

Section 7. Termination Provisions
This Agreement may be terminated as follows:

upon written notice thereof sent by registered, prepaid mail and received by the non-terminating party, not later
than thirty (30) calendar days before the end of that fiscal year. In that event, the State shall be responsible to pay
the Local Agency only for that portion of the highway Maintenance Services actually and satisfactorily performed
up to the effective date of that termination, and the Local Agency shall be responsible to provide such services up
to that date, and the parties shall have no other obligations or liabilities resulting from that termination.
Notwithstanding subparagraph A above, this Agreement may also be terminated as follows:
B. Termination for Convenience. The State may terminate this Agreement at any time the State determines that the
purposes of the distribution of moneys under the Agreement 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.
C. Termination for Cause. If, through any cause, the Local Agency shall fail to fulfill, in a timely and proper manner,
its obligations under this Agreement, or if the Local Agency shall violate any of the covenants, agreements, or
stipulations of this Agreement, the State shall thereupon have the right to terminate this Agreement for cause by
giving 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 Agreement 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 Agreement.
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 Agreement 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 Agreement had been terminated for
convenience, as described herein.
D. 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 Agreement are contingent

the State, the State may immediately terminate or amend this Agreement.
