Title
RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING INTERGOVERNMENTAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF COMMERCE CITY AND THE E-470 PUBLIC HIGHWAY AUTHORITY REGARDING THE FUNDING OF TRAFFIC SIGNALS AT 120TH AVENUE/E-470
Body
Summary and Background Information:
The E-470 Highway Authority approached the Commerce City Public Works Department requesting the City consider entering into an IGA for the installation of traffic signals at the intersection of E-470 and East 120th Avenue. Public Works (in consultation with the City Attorney) worked with the E-470 Authority to develop the draft IGA. The basic framework of the agreement stipulates that E-470 would pay for the design and construction of the traffic signals; after which, the traffic signals would be conveyed to the City to maintain and operate as part of its traffic management system. A preliminary design was done by E-470 to put together a scope of work and estimated costs. Final design and construction would become part of the City’s 104th Avenue Traffic Signal Project/Contract.
Staff Responsible (Department Head): Joe Wilson, Director of Public Works
Staff Member Presenting: Brent Soderlin, City Engineer
Financial Impact: The IGA established puts all financial responsibility for design and construction on the E-470 Authority. The E-470 Authority has agreed to reimburse the City of Commerce City for all design and construction costs. The City will take over future operation and maintenance of the traffic signal.
Funding Source: N/A
Staff Recommendation: Public Works recommends that this Intergovernmental Agreement be approved by City Council.
Suggested Motion: I move to approve resolution # 2019-89.
