Recitals 1. LOCAL AGENCY is planning the construction or improvement of State Route as shown above for the listed LOCAL AGENCY project, and in connection therewith, it is necessary to remove, relocate or construct certain UTILITY facilities. 2. LOCAL AGENCY will be responsible for the cost of the preliminary engineering for the UTILITY's facilities that are located on private property owned and operated by the BNSF Railway pursuant to a series of agreements with BNSF, or other property described in Exhibit C documenting ownership of and/or interest in real property, such as an easement, fee title, or court finding of prescriptive right, described in Exhibit C, which is impacted by LOCAL AGENCY's project, but LOCAL AGENCY will not be responsible for preliminary engineering costs associated with UTILITY facility betterment costs that UTILITY independently elects to undertake as a result of any BNSF project. 3. It is deemed to be in the best public interest for the UTILITY to develop the preliminary engineering, including the preparation of plans, specifications and cost estimate for the removal, relocation or construction of the UTILITY's facilities as part of LOCAL AGENCY's project. However, before commencing the above, the Parties agree that it is first necessary (a) identify the areas where the LOCAL AGENCY project conflicts with the existing facilities of the UTILITY, and (b) begin to identify mitigation measures the LOCAL AGENCY and/or UTILITY can implement to avoid the expense of removing, replacing, or relocating any existing facilities of the UTILITY, (collectively, the "Initial Phase"). This Agreement is only for the completion of the Initial Phase, which solely includes the tasks identified in Exhibit A, hereafter referred to herein as the "Work." 4. LOCAL AGENCY and the UTILITY intend to enter into (a) a second agreement to cover the actual cost for preparation of plans, specifications and cost estimate for removal, relocation or construction of the UTLITY's facilities necessitated by the LOCAL AGENCY's project, and then ultimately (b) a UTILITY Construction Agreement to cover the actual construction, relocation, and/or removal of the UTILITY's facilities. Now, Therefore, in consideration of the terms, conditions, covenants, and performances contained herein, as well as the attached Exhibits which are incorporated and made a part hereof, It Is Mutually Agreed As Follows: 1. Plans, Specifications, and Cost Estimates 1.1 Program Guide: Utility Relocation and Accommodation on Federal Aid Highway Projects shall determine and establish the definitions and applicable standards and payments under this Agreement. By this reference this document is adopted and made a part of this Agreement as if fully contained herein. Page 1 of 5 Betterment: A betterment is any improvement to the UTILITY's facilities not required by code, regulation, standard industry practice, or any other applicable regulation. If any of the Work constitutes a betterment as defined in the Program Guide: Utility Relocation and Accommodation on Federal Aid Highway Projects, the UTILITY is solely responsible for the preliminary engineering costs of such improvement. 1.2 The UTILITY agrees to perform the Work, for the purpose of identifying the extent to which and specific locations where the LOCAL AGENCY's project conflicts with facilities of the UTILITY, and preliminarily identifying mitigation measures that can be implemented to avoid and/or limit the need for removal, relocation, and construction of UTILITY facilities. 1.3 The UTILITY agrees to provide LOCAL AGENCY a copy of all documents identifying the conflicts and potential mitigation, including but not limited to all reports, memorandums, drawings, plans, and specifications. LOCAL AGENCY will review the same to ensure that it complies with LOCAL AGENCY, state, and federal requirements and standards prior to incorporating it into LOCAL AGENCY project plans 1.4 In performing the Work, the UTILITY shall comply with the terms identified in Exhibit B attached hereto. 1.5 If the UTILITY is not adequately staffed or equipped to perform all of the Work required herein, the UTILITY may have all or part of the Work performed by consultant(s) under a contract let by the UTILITY or have the Work performed under an ongoing contract with a UTILITY consultant. UTILITY consultant(s) shall be in good standing with LOCAL AGENCY, and the UTILITY shall provide to LOCAL AGENCY for LOCAL AGENCY review a cost estimate for the Work to be performed by the UTILITY's consultant(s). 1.6 The UTILITY agrees to schedule and perform the Work in such manner as not to delay or interfere with LOCAL AGENCY's contractor in the performance of LOCAL AGENCY's project. The UTILITY shall be responsible for any costs resulting from delay of, or interference with, LOCAL AGENCY's project contractor, to the extent the delay or interference is attributable to the UTILITY or the UTILITY's contractor. 2. Payment 2.1 The LOCAL AGENCY and UTILITY shall equally share in the cost to complete the Work identified in Exhibit A; the LOCAL AGENCY'S estimated share is the "Estimated Agreement Amount" specified at the top of this Agreement. The Parties agree that LOCAL AGENCY is not responsible for costs required as a result of any project originated by BNSF. Exhibit A contains an itemized total cost estimate of the Work. 2.2 The LOCAL AGENCY, in consideration of the faithful performance of the Work to be done by the UTILITY, agrees to reimburse the UTILITY for one-half of the actual direct and related indirect cost of the Work identified in Exhibit A. The UTILITY agrees to invoice LOCAL AGENCY and provide supporting documentation for all charges for the Work, and LOCAL AGENCY agrees to pay the UTILITY its 50% share of those costs within thirty (30) days of receipt of an accepted invoice. Payments shall not be more frequent than one per month. A partial payment will not constitute agreement as to the appropriateness of any item and that, at the time of final invoice, the Parties will resolve any discrepancies. 2.3 The UTILITY shall submit a final billing to the LOCAL AGENCY within six months following completion of the Work. The final billing shall itemize all costs incurred (inclusive of the UTILITY'S 50% share of said costs), the payments previously submitted by the LOCAL AGENCY to the UTILITY, and the remaining balance owed by the LOCAL AGENCY towards its 50% share of the total costs. 3.
