A copy of the most recent executed agreement approved and signed by the board on December 23, 2013 for the time period beginning January 1, 2014 and ending December 31, 2018 is attached. CDOT has since sent us a new agreement (attached). The scope of work in the new agreement is essentially the same as the scope of work in the old agreement. The major change is that 47 pages of additional language, mostly standard boiler plate, has been added to the document. I forwarded the new agreement to Bruce Barker for review and I reviewed both as well. What options exist for the Board? 1. Approve the new agreement. 2. Do not approve the new agreement. Recommendation: Public Works Department recommends approval of the new agreement for Extraordinary Maintenance and Extraordinary Snow Removal. I did not see anything in the new agreement that conflicted with the old agreement or with any of our existing policies or procedures.

The State may exercise this option by providing a fully executed option to the Local Agency within thirty(30)days before the initial targeted start date of the phase,in a form substantially equivalent to Exhibit D. If the State exercises this option, the Agreement will be considered to include this option provision. B. Option to transfer funds from one phase to another phase. The State may require or permit the Local Agency to transfer funds from one phase(Design,Construction, Environmental, Utilities, ROW Incidentals or Miscellaneous) to another as a result of changes to state, federal, and local match.

"Extraordinary Snow Removal" (ESR) is snow removal over and above that ordinarily performed by the County for the class of roads involved. ESR allows for snow removal at facility driveway entrances and defense access roads leading up to the first security gage of the facility. Snow removal on County roads is normally the responsibility of local County agencies and under normal circumstances the USAF has the flexibility to reschedule its activities allowing these agencies to provide snow removal service according to their regular schedules and priorities. In some instances, the USAF may need a road open prior to the County's scheduled snow removal and in other instances the County may not normally plow roads where sites are located if other means of access is available to local inhabitants. The ESR program is essential to the National Defense Readiness by providing site access during equipment and personnel emergencies. The ESR program only applies for roads not in the State Highway system. During extreme weather, the USAF personnel will evaluate options available including rescheduling and using special vehicles prior to requesting ESR. B. "Extraordinary Maintenance" (EM) is repair work that is over and above the normal maintenance required to accommodate County traffic when determined to be necessary and is requested by the USAF, or FHWA on behalf of the USAF. EM will only be utilized on: a. Primary Transporter/Erector routes when the following priorities exists: i. Priority 1 a) Maintenance required to repair equipment essential for safe operation of the weapon system b) Maintenance after an incident or malfunction to prevent further damage to the weapon system, avoid injury to personnel, or render the weapon system safe c) To enable security forces to clear and re-secure/guard LFs displaying both outer and inner z one alarms that will not reset ii. Priority 2 a) Maintenance required to place LFs or MAFs on alert or return to alert b) Maintenance required to retain or return communication system off-alert or impaired sorties to alert or unimpaired status c) Maintenance required to retain or return sorties to EWO status. Reference: Space Command Regulations 1-23-10. b. Only when an alternate route to the Missile Site (MS) is unavailable. An authorized agent of the USAF, or the FHWA on behalf of the USAF, will notify the County to repair the identified DAR defects. As dictated by existing roadway conditions, County priorities, manpower, availability of resources, statutory limitations, and the priority of the Air Force emergency, the County will complete the EM work as rapidly as practicable or notify the USAF otherwise. Page I of 4 The repairs will be made to the extent needed to permit USAF vehicle access to the MS, as determined in Priority 1 or 2. EM repairs may include, but are not limited to, damaged surfaces, soft spots, culvert or bridge shoring, radius enhancements, etc. EM is not intended, nor will it be used for, major repair construction. C. "Force Account" means the direct performance of County highway construction work by the County by use of labor, equipment, materials, and supplies furnished by them and used under their direct control. Force Account can include work contracted by the County with private parties as agreed in the SOW. The County shall comply with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended by 49 CFR 21. D. "Annual Reimbursement for Setup Fixed Costs" - Setup Fixed Costs are costs the County incurs for equipment setup and mobilization and routine snow removal from County roads and missile site access roads. This is independent of activities reimbursed under the provisions set forth in paragraph "2D" below. 2. TERMS OF SCOPE A. When EM/ESR on a DAR is necessary, an authorized agent of the USAF will formally request the service usually during normal working hours. However, weekend, evening, and late night requests may sometimes be necessary. For such situations, the County and CDOT will provide a central dispatch numbers and / or points of contact for after-hours calls. Should an after-hours call be received, the County or CDOT may elect to perform the requested EM/ESR during non-duty hours. The overtime expense for non-duty hours incurred by the County or CDOT shall be acknowledged by the USAF as necessary to the performance of the immediate need for the success of the mission. The USAF will furnish a list of authorized agents annually to the County and CDOT. The USAF will notify the County and CDOT of any changes to the list of authorized agents. The County and CDOT will also be supplied with telephone numbers for the Air Force Base Administration and the representative FHWA. See attachment "A." B. The County and CDOT will respond to all ESR requests by scheduling snow removal operations within twenty-four hours, with the intent of performing the snow removal within 24 hours after notification. Recognition by the parties to this agreement, limitations due to weather conditions, County and state priorities, manpower, equipment availability, resources, and priority level of the Air Force Emergency, the County and CDOT will respond in a timely manner and clear the designated defense access roads (or notify the USAF otherwise.) As soon as possible after the DAR has been cleared, the County or CDOT will notify the USAF snow desk by telephone at 307-773-2049 or 307-773-3948. C. A request for EM services issued by the authorized agent of the USAF shall include a "scope of work" (SOW), a written description of the repair to be accomplished and a dollar limit "not to exceed". Both parties ack nowledging the level of effort necessary to fulfill the request prior to mobilization shall pen initials on the SOW. The parties can readily make amendments to the SOW upon agreement. The County and CDOT will record all necessary information and track services performed to accomplish the SOW Page 2 of 4 as a 'force account' effort. The term force account shall mean the direct performance of county highway construction work by the County or CDOT by use of labor, equipment, materials, and supplies furnished by them and used under their direct control. Force account can include work contracted by the County or CDOT with private parties as agreed in the SOW. The County and CDOT shall comply with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended by 49 CFR 21. D. In the event of an emergency requiring a missile movement and it becomes necessary to initiate the movement before the County or CDOT can respond to the Air Force's request for snow removal, by virtue of this agreement, the Air Force shall be authorized to provide its own equipment and manpower to plow defense access roads and provide sander escort as needed for the success of the mission. Air Force shall notify the County or CDOT in advance that they will be plowing a county road or state highway so that it is known that there is a convoy on the road in a storm. Closed roads are of particular concern and prior contact is mandatory to ascertain if road is passable. E. For ESR and EM done by the County or CDOT at the request of the USAF or FHWA on behalf of the USAF, the County or CDOT will be reimbursed for the force account bill and associated documentation. Documentation shall include justification of rates, all costs including, but not limited to, labor(including equipm ent operator), supervision, equipment, material and delivery, labor additives, overhead, depreciation, fuel, subcontracts, rentals, operation & maintenance, and insurance. For verification of completed work, the County shall submit a copy of the EM SOW, any amendments, force account bill, and supporting documentation to: (i) FHWA; and (ii) Mr. Russ Lincoln, USAF Missile Engineering Flight, 300 Missile Drive, Suite 800, Building 240, F.E. Warren Air Force Base, Wyoming, 82005. Within 20 working days, CDOT and FHWA will review and determine if the billing documentation is acceptable for further payment processing or CDOT will notify the County in writing of the deficiencies necessary to complete the bill and resubmit for acceptance. F. ANNUAL REIMBURSEMENT FOR SETUP FIXED COSTS. This agreement recognizes fixed costs incurred by the County for equipment setup and mobilization independent of activities reimbursed under the provisions set forth in paragraph "2D".

It is the policy of the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) that disadvantaged business enterprises shall have the maximum opportunity to participate in the performance of contracts financed in whole or in part with Federal funds under this agreement, pursuant to 49 CFR Part 26. Consequently, the 49 CFR Part IE DBE requirements the Colorado Department of Transportation DBE Program (or a Local Agency DBE Program approved in advance by the State) apply to this agreement. SECTION 2. DBE Obligation. The recipient or its the Local Agency agrees to ensure that disadvantaged business enterprises as determined by the Office of Certification at the Colorado Department of Regulatory Agencies have the maximum opportunity to participate in the performance of contracts and subcontracts financed in whole or in part with Federal funds provided under this agreement. In this regard, all participants or contractors shall take all necessary and reasonable steps in accordance with the CDOT DBE program (or a Local Agency DBE Program approved in advance by the State) to ensure that disadvantaged business enterprises have the maximum opportunity to compete for and perform contracts. Recipients and their contractors shall not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, or sex in the award and performance of CDOT assisted contracts. SECTION 3 DBE Program. The Local Agency (sub-recipient) shall be responsible for obtaining the Disadvantaged Business Enterprise Program of the Colorado Department of Transportation, 1988, as amended, and shall comply with the applicable provisions of the program. (If applicable). A copy of the DBE Program is available from and will be mailed to the Local Agency upon request: Business Programs Office Colorado Department of Transportation 4201 East Arkansas Avenue, Room 287 Denver, Colorado 80222-3400 Phone: (303) 757-9234 revised 1/22/98 Required by 49 CFR Part 26 Page 1 of 1 35. EXHIBIT H-LOCAL AGENCY PROCEDURES FOR CONSULTANT SERVICES THE LOCAL AGENCY SHALL USE THESE PROCEDURES TO IMPLEMENT FEDERAL-AID PROJECT AGREEMENTS WITH PROFESSIONAL CONSULTANT SERVICES Title 23 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 172 applies to a federally funded local agency project agreement administered by CDOT that involves professional consultant services. 23 CFR 172.1 states "The policies and procedures involve federally funded contracts for engineering and design related services for projects subject to the provisions of 23 U.S.C. 112(a) and are issued to ensure that a qualified consultant is obtained through an equitable selection process, that prescribed work is properly accomplished in a timely manner, and at fair and reasonable cost" and according to 23 CFR 172.5 "Price shall not be used as a factor in the analysis and selection phase." Therefore, local agencies must comply with these CFR requirements when obtaining professional consultant services under a federally funded consultant contract administered by CDOT. CDOT has formulated its procedures in Procedural Directive (P.D.) 400.1 and the related operations guidebook titled "Obtaining Professional Consultant Services". This directive and guidebook incorporate requirements from both Federal and State regulations, i.e., 23 CFR 172 and CRS §24-30-1401 et seq. Copies of the directive and the guidebook may be obtained upon request from CDOT's Agreements and Consultant Management Unit. [Local agencies should have their own written procedures on file for each method of procurement that addresses the items in 23 CFR 172]. Because the procedures and laws described in the Procedural Directive and the guidebook are quite lengthy, the subsequent steps serve as a short-hand guide to CDOT procedures that a local agency must follow in obtaining professional consultant services. This guidance follows the format of 23 CFR 172. The steps are: 1. The contracting local agency shall document the need for obtaining professional services. 2. Prior to solicitation for consultant services, the contracting local agency shall develop a detailed scope of work and a list of evaluation factors and their relative importance. The evaluation factors are those identified in C.R.S. 24-30-1403. Also, a detailed cost estimate should be prepared for use during negotiations. 3. The contracting agency must advertise for contracts in conformity with the requirements of C.R.S. 24-30-1405. The public notice period, when such notice is required, is a minimum of 15 days prior to the selection of the three most qualified firms and the advertising should be done in one or more daily newspapers of general circulation. 4. The request for consultant services should include the scope of work, the evaluation factors and their relative importance, the method of payment, and the goal of 10% for Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) participation as a minimum for the project. 5. The analysis and selection of the consultants shall be done in accordance with CRS §24-30- 1403. This section of the regulation identifies the criteria to be used in the evaluation of CDOT pre-qualified prime consultants and their team. It also shows which criteria are used to short- list and to make a final selection. The short-list is based on the following evaluation factors: a. Qualifications, b. Approach to the Work, c. Ability to furnish professional services. d. Anticipated design concepts, and e. Alternative methods of approach for furnishing the professional services. Page 1 of 2 Evaluation factors for final selection are the consultant's: a. Abilities of their personnel, b. Past performance, c. Willingness to meet the time and budget requirement, d. Location, e. Current and projected work load, f. Volume of previously awarded contracts, and g. Involvement of minority consultants. 6. Once a consultant is selected, the local agency enters into negotiations with the consultant to obtain a fair and reasonable price for the anticipated work. Pre-negotiation audits are prepared for contracts expected to be greater than $50,000. Federal reimbursements for costs are limited to those costs allowable under the cost principles of 48 CFR 31. Fixed fees (profit) are determined with consideration given to size, complexity, duration, and degree of risk involved in the work. Profit is in the range of six to 15 percent of the total direct and indirect costs. 7. A qualified local agency employee shall be responsible and in charge of the Work to ensure that the work being pursued is complete, accurate, and consistent with the terms, conditions, and specifications of the contract. At the end of Work, the local agency prepares a performance evaluation (a CDOT form is available) on the consultant. 8. Each of the steps listed above is to be documented in accordance with the provisions of 49 CFR 18.42, which provide for records to be kept at least three years from the date that the local agency submits its final expenditure report. Records of projects under litigation shall be kept at least three years after the case has been settled. CRS §§24-30-1401 through 24-30-1408, 23 CFR Part 172, and P.D. 400.1, provide additional details for complying with the preceeding eight (8) steps. Page 2 of 2 • 36.
