DEFENSE ACCESS ROADS SERVING MINUTEMAN
MISSILE SITES IN COLORADO
AGREEMENT FOR EXTRAORDINARY MAINTENANCE
AND SNOW REMOVAL ON DEFENSE ACCESS ROADS
SERVING THE WARREN AIR FORCE BASE
MINUTE-MAN MISSILE SITES IN COLORADO
LOCATIONS IN WELD COUNTY
This agreement is made and entered into by and between Weld County,
State of Colorado, hereinafter referred to as Weld County, and the United
States Department of Transportation, Federal Highway Administration,
hereinafter referred to as FHWA. Previous agreements are hereby superseded.
RECITALS
WHEREAS, pursuant to the provisions of Section 210 of Title 23, United
States Code, and authority delegated by the Secretary of Transportation ,
FHWA is authorized to provide for the maintenance of Defense Access
Roads .
WHEREAS, the Commander, Military Traffic Management Command, (MTMC)
acting pursuant to authority delegated by the Secretary of Defense, has
certified that it is important to the National Defense to provide for
extraordinary maintenance and snow removal under the conditions herein
set forth on the defense access roads hereinafter described, and has
requested that FHWA take appropriate action to provide for such extraordinary
snow removal and maintenance out of funds transferred to FHWA by the
Department of the Air Force;
WHEREAS, Weld County is willing to cooperate in the interest of National
Defense by performing the extraordinary maintenance and snow removal
work herein specified under conditions that will result in neither a
profit nor a loss to that County;
NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereby agree as follows:
1. As used herein, unless the context indicates otherwise;
a. The term "Defense Access Roads" means those public highways
shown on the attached map that are located in Weld County.
These designated roads, as shown on the attached map, are
described as follows:
Access road numbers 1 through 10, 12 through 23, and 27 and
28, located between R56W to R6OW and T7N to T12N at the
Nebraska State line.
2
b. The terms and conditions describing this work are as follows:
1. Extraordinary maintenance is that work performed by Weld
County when notified by an appropriate Air Force official ,
as listed in the appendix to this agreement, of conditions
that require attention in order that access to the sites
shall remain unimpeded. Weld County will be expected to
complete the requested work within a matter of three (3)
days from the time of notification by the Air Force. It
is anticipated that Weld County' s normal maintenance of
these public roads, including an annual blading, keeping
culverts open, and so on, should provide adequate access
for the Air Force needs except in unusual circumstances
such as flooding or excessive frost actions.
2. Extraordinary snow removal means that Weld County, upon
notification of appropriate agents of the Air Force,
shall react within two (2) hours to commence the placing
of snow removal equipment in a condition to remove snow
from these hereinbefore designated access roads, and
shall then endeavor to the best of its ability to remove
snow and snowdrifts as rapidly as possible from those
access roads to control centers and launch sites designated
by the Air Force. Within a period of twenty-four (24)
hours from the time of the notification, denial of access
to launch control centers and to inoperative launching
sites will become operationally unacceptable to the National
Defense. The clearing of snow and snowdrifts from access
roads to other launch facilities will then be undertaken
on the priority given by Air Force agents at the time the
County was notified. It is agreed that after any snowstorm,
Weld County will undertake normal snowplowing operations
on these access roads if no notification is given by the
Air Force that an extraordinary snow removal is required.
3. Provide Sand Truck Escorts for transporter-erector and
payload transport vehicle movements, when authorized by
an authorized agent representing the F.E. Warren Air
Force Base, for winter movements when it has been established
that icy conditions prevail or have been predicted to
prevail at the time of the scheduled movement. Use of
sand truck escorts will be limited to only those extra-
ordinary movements authorized by F.E. Warren Air Force
Base.
3
4. Weld County agrees to perform the extraordinary maintenance
and snow removal as herein described on the defense access
roads designated in this agreement, when notified by an
authorized agent representing Warren Air Force Base,
Cheyenne, Wyoming, as listed in the appendix to this
agreement. Authorized personnel to be contacted in Weld
County for the extraordinary work, are also listed in the
appendix to this agreement. These listings may be revised
at any time by either the Air Force or the County, if
written notice is sent to the other party .
5. Weld County will be reimbursed by FHWA with funds provided
by the United States Air Force for actual costs of operators,
labor, equipment, and materials incurred in the performance
of extraordinary maintenance and snow removal on the
defense access roads designated in this agreement, when
performed in accordance with the terms stated herein.
"Actual Costs" means the costs incurred by the county
for:
a. The costs of operators and labor, to include wages
for both straight time and overtime, and for fringe
benefits normally paid, such as contributions to the
retirement system, insurance programs and annual and
sick leave benefits;
b. The invoice costs of any materials incorporated into
the maintenance, snow removal and sanding tasks;
c. An hourly rental cost for equipment used in the work
based on the rates established in the latest edition
of the "Construciton Equipment Rental Rate Schedule"
published by the State Department of Highways, Division
of Highways, State of Colorado.
Rental of Public-owned equipment is not to include
taxes, licensing and interest percentages included
in the single shift rates in this schedule. Second
shift rental rate eliminates these items and shall
be used for publicly-owned equipment.
6. Weld County shall submit an annual certified statement of
the actual costs incurred in performing extraordiary
maintenance and snow removal operations on these defense
access roads. Documentation of actual costs shall be
recorded and maintained by Weld County and are to be
retained and made available for inspection and audit by
FHWA for a period of three years after our payment of
your final billing for each fiscal year. Documentation
of equipment used should include its rated size in the
same units as given in the Construction Equipment Rental
Rate Manual . No additional reimbursement will be made
for attachments to the prime piece of equipment.
4
7. - This agreement shall be subject to renegotiation or termination
annually at the end of the fiscal year (September 30),
upon the request of any of the parties hereto. The agreement
shall immediately terminate upon notification to all
parties concerned that Federal funds are no longer available.
This agreement shall expire on September 30, 1986, without
the request of either party. An extension of the maintenance
activities beyond that time will require a new executed
agreement.
8. It is further agreed, that with respect to any Federal
activities and Federal property within the affected area,
nothing contained herein shall be construed as holding
Weld County liable for any personal damage or personal
liability injury to any person or thing while removing
snow or snowdrifts from the hereinbefore described defense
access roads.
9. FHWA expressly agrees to indemnify and save Weld County
harmless from and against any and all claims, loss, damage,
injury and liability resulting from, arising out of or in
any way connected with the work to be performed under
this agreement, including any negligence or alleged neg-
ligence on the part of any FHWA agents or employees .
Furthermore, in the event that the Government is required
to pay for any such claims, losses, damage, injury or
liability, such payments shall not entail expenditures
which exceed appropriations available at the time of the
incident(s) giving rise to such claim, loss, damage,
injury or liability; and nothing in this agreement shall
be considered as implying that Congress will , at a later
date, appropriate funds suffucient to meet any deficiencies
occurring as a result of liability exceeding appropriations.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this agreement
effective as of October 1, 1981.

Attached please find materials for submission to the Board of
County Commissioners for their approval of a Revised Agreement
between Weld County and the Federal Highway Administration for
extraordinary maintenance and snow removal on defense access
roads serving Minuteman Missile Sites in Weld County. This
agreement, to take effect as of October 1, 1981, is substantially
the same as the previous agreement of November 26 , 1979 ; the
changes that were made are summarized in Wayne Smyth's, Director
of Engineering, memorandum of October 14 , 1981, which is included
in the packet.
I have reviewed the proposed agreement and can find no reason
why this Board should not accept Wayne Smyth 's recommendation
that the proposed agreement be accepted by this Board by Resolution.
It should be noted that the contract does provide for signatures
for all of the members of the Board, not just the Chairman. It
is the Highway Administration's request that two of the three
enclosed copies of the agreement be executed and returned to the
Region Eight Federal Highway Administration Office.

Gentlemen:
Subject: Colorado OM-AD 300(20)
Minuteman Missile Base Roads
Our letter dated September 17, 1980, informed you of the requirements for
the preconstruction conference which was scheduled for September 30, 1980.
As you recall, we were unable to conduct an effective conference on that
date because Weld County's reconstruction of the routes included in our
contract was underway and the progress and probable dates of completion
could not be established. The county's actions thus prevented us from
issuing a notice to proceed and we concluded it would be best to
reschedule the conference for a later date.
When it became apparent that what remained of the 1980'construction
season was lost to us because of the county's inability to complete
work on any of the routes, the decision was made to postpone everything
until Spring 1981. However, when the winter weather stayed unseasonably
warm and it appeared you would be able to produce material and stockpile
it for use in the spring, we held an abbreviated conference in your
office on December 5, 1980, and subsequently issued a notice to proceed
with material production.
We have now been advised by Weld County that they have concluded the
routes are in a condition suitable for gravel placement. On the basis
of their determination, we are scheduling a preconstruction conference
intended to conclude the December 5 conference. This meeting will be
held at 10 a.m. in the Fort Morgan Public Library, 414 Main Street,
Fort Morgan, Colorado, on Wednesday, April 29, 1981.
By copy of this letter, the following are also invited to participate
in the conference:

3 barbed wires on posts at a maximum spacing of 16 feet and shall be seeded
and fertilized at rates specified in the Use Permit. The Contractor shall be
responsible for protecting and caring for seeded area(s) until final acceptance
of the work. All other conditions shall be met as stated in the Use Permit.

amended as follows:
The third paragraph is amended to read as follows:
Unless otherwise designated, when a reference is made in the contract to

Mr. Norman Carlson,
Chairman
Weld County Commissioners
Weld County Centennial Center
P.O. Box 758
Greeley, Colorado 80631
Dear Mr. Carlson:
I have prepared this letter to furnish you with information regarding
regraveling of Air Force Transporter-Erector Roads in Weld County.
Recently, we received FY-80 funds from the Air Force to regravel roads
in Weld County. These funds were based on a review in December 1977
and a joint agency road review and funding request on June 27, 1978
to regravel 20+ miles of roads in Weld County. Funds were received
in 1978 and a construction project was prepared. When the contractor
bids were received they were determined to be excessive, all bids
were rejected, and the funds were transferred to other projects. Dur-
ing FY-1979 no funds were made available for work in Colorado.
We have transferred the FY-80 funds ($590,000) to our Office of Fed-
eral Highway Projects to prepare plans and specifications, contract
documents and to advertise for construction bids. The contact person
in that office is Mr. Walt Langlitz, phone 234-4798. When the plans
and specifications are available they will be furnished to Weld County
for review and comment. It is anticipated that a contractor can be
hired and ready to begin work in August.
The Weld County roads that are scheduled for regraveling are as shown
on the enclosed map. If the county has regraveled any sections of
these roads since the June 1978 joint-agency review, then they will
not be eligible for regravel under the current planned contract. For
the roads that are to be regraveled, the county is requested to blade
and shape them prior to commencement of the regravel project.
The Air Force has implemented a planning program based on a 5-year
cycle to project future extraordinary maintenance funding needs.
l
2
Consequently, we have been requested to review and evaluate all trans-
porter-erector roads this year and then prepare a baseline and 5-year
needs document. Personnel from this office will be in contact with
your county engineer in the near future to arrange for this review
and evaluation.
If additional information is needed regarding the transporter-erector
roads in Weld County, please contact Maurice L. Mitchell of my office
at 234-4438.
Sincerely yours,
dd e
A. J. Siccardi
Division Administrator
