COUNCIL COMMUNICATION
Date: Agenda Item: Subject:
May 16, 2016 9bi Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) between the
City of Englewood and the Colorado Department of
Transportation (COOT) for the maintenance of
traffic control devices on state highways within
Englewood city limits-2nd Reading
Initiated By: Staff Source:
Department of Public Works Ladd Vestry, Traffic Engineer
COUNCIL GOAL AND PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION
Over the past 40 years, City Council approved numerous bills for an ordinance to enter into
contracts with the Colorado Department of Transportation (COOT) for reimbursement of costs
associated with the operation and maintenance of traffic control devices on state highways
within Englewood city limits (per Senate Bill No. 8 of 197 4). Staff discussed this matter with City
Council at the April 25, 2016, Study Session.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Staff requests that City Council adopt a bill for an ordinance, on second reading, to enter into a
contract with COOT for operation and maintenance services of traffic control devices provided
by the City on state highways within city limits. The agreement will allow COOT to reimburse the
City for costs of these maintenance services in the amount of $61,200.00 per State fiscal year.
BACKGROUND, ANALYSIS, AND ALTERNATIVES IDENTIFIED
Section 43-2-102 and 103, C.R.S., require the state to maintain state highways, and Section 43-
2-135(1)(i), C.R.S., requires the state to install, operate, maintain, and control, at state expense,
all traffic control devices on the state highway system within cities. The City of Englewood and
COOT desire to enter into this contract for the City to provide maintenance services that are the
responsibility of the State, and for the State to pay the City a negotiated fixed rate for such
services. The rate of reimbursement has been renegotiated by staff at the current fair market
rates, agreed upon by COOT, and shall be for a term of five (5) years. Specific locations located
within the City of Englewood for which the City will provide the maintenance services, including
S. H. 285 and S. H. 88 (Belleview), are described in the contract Exhibit A.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The total amount of the new contract comes to $61,200.00 per year. COOT payments to the
City shall be on a "lump sum" monthly basis of $5,100.00. There are no financial obligations for
the City other than providing funds up front for maintenance and operation services, which are
later reimbursed by COOT. (Over the past several years, the City spent on an average of
$58,000 per year for maintaining the COOT signals per this IGA.) Adequate funds are
available in the Traffic Engineering Division budget to satisfactorily perform necessary operation
and maintenance services as outlined in the Contracts' Scope of Work (Exhibit A).
