SUBJECT
Resolution 2019-001 Authorizing the Execution of an Intergovernmental Agreement Between the City and the
Colorado Department of Transportation for the Maintenance of Traffic Signals, Signs and Roadway Markings
in the Fort Collins Growth Management Area.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The purpose of this item is to approve an intergovernmental agreement (IGA) between the City and the
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 with reimbursement from CDOT.
This is the continuation of a long-standing agreement that benefits both parties as City control allows the City
to best serve residents and CDOT has fewer maintenance responsibilities. The IGA is for a five-year period
and covers fiscal years 2019-2023. This IGA reflects updated costs from the previous long-term agreement.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends adoption of the Resolution.
BACKGROUND / DISCUSSION
CDOT has jurisdiction over state highways within the City of Fort Collins. This includes US 287 (College
Avenue), SH 14 (Mulberry and Jefferson), and SH 392 (Carpenter Road) (collectively, “State Highways”). The
City has had a long-standing agreement with CDOT to maintain CDOT traffic control devices of the state
highways within the City's Growth Management Area. This is beneficial for both the City and CDOT. Since
City residents are the primary users of the state highway system in Fort Collins and the Growth Management
Area, 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.
CDOT provides reimbursement to the City for the work. City staff reviewed the costs of maintenance of traffic
control devices since the previous long-term contract (in 2012) and requested an increase in payment for
signing/markings based on that review. The additional payment (an 8.4% increase) is reflected in this IGA.
CITY FINANCIAL IMPACTS
This IGA requires CDOT to reimburse the City of Fort Collins Traffic Operations Department for maintenance
of traffic signals, signage, and pavement markings on the state highways at the rate of:
Agenda Item 5
Item # 5 Page 2
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
The contract is a five-year contract with a maximum 5-year IGA amount of $1,179,600.

Project Manager.
Section 6. Record Keeping
The Local Agency shall maintain a complete file of all records, documents, communications, and other written
materials that 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, if applicable, FHWA to inspect the project and to inspect, review and audit the project
records.
Section 7. Termination Provisions
This contract may be terminated as follows:
A. This contract may be terminated by either party, but only at the end of the State fiscal year (June 30), and only
upon written notice thereof sent by registered, prepaid mail and received by the non-terminating party, not later
than 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 contract may also be terminated as follows:
B. 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.
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 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
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.
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 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 8. 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.

amended/modified accordingly in writing. Provided, however, that the rates will be modified in accordance with
applicable cost accounting principles and standards (including sections 24-107-101, et seq., C.R.S. and
implementing regulations), and be based on an increase/decrease in the "allowable costs" of performing the Work.

will go into effect on the first day of the first month following the amendment execution date.

maximum amount payable under this contract based upon the unit prices (rates) originally established in the
contract and the schedule of services required, as set by the terms of this contract. The State may exercise the
option by providing a fully executed option to the Local Agency, in a form substantially equivalent to Exhibit
C, immediately upon signature of the State Controller or an authorized delegate. The Option Letter shall not
be deemed valid until signed by the State Controller or an authorized delegate. Any such rate change will go

Except as otherwise provided in this contract, any dispute concerning a question of fact arising under this contract,
which is not disposed of by agreement, will be decided by the Chief Engineer of the Department of Transportation.
The decision of the Chief Engineer will be final and conclusive unless, within 30 calendar days after the date of receipt
of a copy of such written decision, the Local Agency mails or otherwise furnishes to the State a written appeal
addressed to the Executive Director of the Department of Transportation. In connection with any appeal proceeding
under this clause, the Local Agency shall be afforded an opportunity to be heard and to offer evidence in support of
its appeal. Pending final decision of a dispute hereunder, the Local Agency shall proceed diligently with the
performance of the contract in accordance with the Chief Engineer’s decision. The decision of the Executive Director
or his duly authorized representative for the determination of such appeals will be final and conclusive and serve as
final agency action. This dispute clause does not preclude consideration of questions of law in connection with
decisions provided for herein. Nothing in this contract, however, shall be construed as making final the decision of
any administrative official, representative, or board on a question of law.
Section 19. Does not supersede other agreements
This contract is not intended to supersede or affect in any way any other agreement (if any) that is currently in effect

jurisdiction of the Local Agency. Also, the Local Agency shall also continue to perform, at its own expense, all such
activities/duties (if any) on such State Highway rights-of-ways that the Local Agency is required by applicable law to
perform.
Section 20. SubLocal Agencys
The Local Agency may subcontract for any part of the performance required under this contract, subject to the Local
Agency first obtaining approval from the State for any particular subLocal Agency. The State understands that the
Local Agency may intend to perform some or all of the services required under this contract through a subLocal
Agency. The Local Agency agrees not to assign rights or delegate duties under this contract [or subcontract any part
of the performance required under the contract] without the express, written consent of the State, which shall not be
unreasonably withheld. Except as herein otherwise provided, this agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding
only upon the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.
Section 21. Statewide Contract Management System
If the maximum amount payable to Local Agency under this contract is $100,000 or greater, either on the Effective
Date or at any time thereafter, this § 21. Statewide Contract Management System applies.
Local Agency agrees to be governed, and to abide, by the provisions of CRS §24-102-205, §24-102-206, §24-103-
601, §24-103.5-101 and §24-105-102 concerning the monitoring of Local Agency performance on state contracts
and inclusion of contract performance information in a Statewide contract management system.
Local Agency’s performance shall be subject to evaluation and review in accordance with the terms and conditions of
this contract, State law, including CRS §24-103.5-101, and State fiscal rules, policies and guidance. Evaluation and
review of the Local Agency’s performance shall be part of the normal contract administration process and Local
Agency’s performance will be systematically recorded in the statewide contract management system. Areas of
evaluation and review shall include, but shall not be limited to, quality, cost and timeliness. Collection of information
relevant to the performance of Local Agency’s obligations under this contract shall be determined by the specific
requirements of such obligations and shall include factors tailored to match the requirements of Local Agency’s
obligations. Such performance information shall be entered into the Statewide contract management system at
intervals established herein and a final evaluation, review and rating shall be rendered within 30 days of the end of the
contract term. Local Agency shall be notified following each performance evaluation and review, and shall address or
correct any identified problem in a timely manner and maintain work progress.
Should the final performance evaluation and review determine that Local Agency demonstrated a gross failure to meet
the performance measures established hereunder, the Executive Director of the Colorado Department of Personnel
and Administration (Executive Director), upon request by the Department of Transportation, and showing of good
cause, may debar Local Agency and prohibit Local Agency from bidding on future contracts. Local Agency may
contest the final evaluation, review and rating by: (a) filing rebuttal statements, which may result in either removal or
correction of the evaluation (CRS §24-105-102(6)), or (b) under CRS §24-105-102(6), exercising the debarment
protest and appeal rights provided in CRS §§24-109-106, 107, 201 or 202, which may result in the reversal of the
debarment and reinstatement of Local Agency, by the Executive Director, upon showing of good cause.
Section 22. Special Provisions

waiver, express or implied, of any of the immunities, rights, benefits, protections, or other provisions, of the
Colorado Governmental Immunity Act, CRS §24-10-101 et seq., or the Federal Tort Claims Act, 28 U.S.C.
§§1346(b) and 2671 et seq., as applicable now or hereafter amended.
