however the contract includes provisions requiring the work to be done in two phases so that the
roadway is open to traffic from Memorial Day to Labor Day. Once the City and the contractor have
met and details have been provided, more information will be provided to residents and businesses
along the route and provided to the public via the website and other means.

                              SURFACE TRANSPORTATION PROGRAM



         WHEREAS, the parties hereto have reached an understanding with each other regarding
the performance of the PROJECT work and desire to set forth this understanding in the form of a
written contract.


         NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and of the mutual undertakings of
the parties and in conformity with applicable law, it is agreed:


         I.     The parties hereto shall undertake and complete the PROJECT in accordance with
the terms of this contract.


         2.     The term "PROJECT COST", as herein used, is hereby defined as the cost of the

incurred by the DEPARTMENT as a result of this contract, except construction engineering and
inspection.


         No charges will be made by the DEPARTMENT to the PROJECT for any inspection work

               Federal Surface Transportation Small MPO Funds in combination with Federal
               Surface Transportation Flex Funds shall be applied to the eligible items of the
               PARTA portion of the PROJECT COST up to the lesser of: (1) $989,600 or (2) an

               by the REQUESTING PARTY in the manner and at the times hereinafter set forth.

               PART B

               participation and shall be charged to and paid 100 percent by the REQUESTING
               PARTY in the manner and at the times hereinafter set forth.

notify the DEPARTMENT, both orally and in writing of such discovery. The DEPARTMENT
shall consult with the REQUESTING PARTY to determine if it is willing to pay for the cost of
remediation and, with the FHWA, to determine the eligibility, for reimbursement, of the
remediation costs.   The REQUESTING PARTY shall be charged for and shall pay all costs
associated with such remediation, including all delay costs of the contractor for the PROJECT, in
the event that remediation and delay costs are not deemed eligible by the FHWA.                If the
REQUESTING PARTY refuses to participate in the cost of remediation, the DEPARTMENT shall
terminate the PROJECT.        The parties agree that any costs or damages that the DEPARTMENT
incurs as a result of such termination shall be considered a PROJECT COST.

the cost of remediating any hazardous substances discovered after the execution of this contract
and if there is a reasonable likelihood of recovery, the REQUESTING PARTY, in cooperation
with the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy and the DEPARTMENT,

09/06/90 STPLS.FOR 11/14/25
shall make a diligent effort to recover such costs from all other possible entities. If recovery is
made, the DEPARTMENT shall be reimbursed from such recovery for the proportionate share of
the amount paid by the FHWA and/or the DEPARTMENT and the DEPARTMENT shall credit
such sums to the appropriate funding source.

     12.  The DEPARTMENT'S sole reason for entering into this contract is to enable the
REQUESTING PARTY to obtain and use funds provided by the Federal Highway Administration

control and shall not be construed as a warranty of their propriety or that the DEPARTMENT or
its agents is assuming any liability, control or jurisdiction.

relieve the REQUESTING PARTY and the local agencies, as applicable of their exclusive
jurisdiction of the highway and responsibility under MCL 691.1402 et seq., as amended.

DEPARTMENT or its agents is performing a governmental function, as that term is defined in
MCL 691.1401 et seq., as amended, which is incidental to the completion of the PROJECT.

constructed as built to specifications within the contract documents. It is understood that the
REQUESTING PARTY shall own the facilities and shall operate and maintain the facilities in
accordance with all applicable Federal and State laws and regulations, including, but not limited
to, Title Il of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), 42 USC 12131 et seq., and its associated
regulations and standards, and DEPARTMENT Road and Bridge Standard Plans and the Standard
Specifications for Construction.

to this contract, has not and does not assume jurisdiction of the highway, described as the
PROJECT for purposes of MCL 691.1402 et seq., as amended. Exclusive jurisdiction of such
highway for the purposes of MCL 691.1402 et seq., as amended, rests with the REQUESTING
PARTY and other local agencies having respective jurisdiction.

        14. | The REQUESTING PARTY shall approve all of the plans and specifications to be
used on the PROJECT and shall be deemed to have approved all changes to the plans and
specifications when put into effect. It is agreed that ultimate responsibility and control over the

out of its own acts and/or omissions during the performance of the contract, as provided by this
contract or by law. In addition, this is not intended to increase or decrease either party’s liability

of the performance of this contract.


        17.    The parties shall promptly provide comprehensive assistance and cooperation in
defending and resolving any claims brought against the DEPARTMENT by the contractor,
vendors or suppliers as a result of the DEPARTMENT'S award of the construction contract for the
PROJECT. Costs incurred by the DEPARTMENT in defending or resolving such claims shall be

             incurred as work on the PROJECT progresses and will be submitted, as required,
             until it is determined by the DEPARTMENT that there is sufficient available
             working capital to meet the remaining anticipated PROJECT COSTS,                    All
             progress payments will be made within thirty 30) days of receipt of billings. No
             monthly billing of a lesser amount than $1,000.00 will be made unless it is a final
             or end of fiscal year billing.     Should the DEPARTMENT determine that the
             available working capital exceeds the remaining anticipated PROJECT COSTS,
             the DEPARTMENT may reimburse the REQUESTING PARTY such excess.
             Upon completion of the PROJECT, payment of all PROJECT COSTS, receipt of
             all applicable monies from the FHWA, and completion of necessary audits, the
             REQUESTING PARTY will be reimbursed the balance of its deposit.

                                        SECTION IV


                             MAINTENANCE AND OPERATION



A.    Upon completion of construction of each part of the PROJECT, at no cost to the
      DEPARTMENT or the PROJECT, each of the parties hereto, within their respective
      jurisdictions, will make the following provisions for the maintenance and operation of the
      completed PROJECT:


      1,     All Projects:

             Properly maintain and operate each part of the project, making ample provisions
             each year for the performance of such maintenance work as may be required,
             except as qualified in paragraph 2b of this section.

      2.     Projects Financed in Part with Federal Monies:

             a,      Sign and mark each part of the PROJECT, in accordance with the current
                     Michigan Manual of Uniform Traffic control Devices, and will not install,
                     or permit to be installed, any signs, signals or markings not in
                     conformance with the standards approved by the FHWA, pursuant to 23
                     USC 109(d).


                     Remove, prior to completion of the PROJECT, all encroachments from the
                     roadway right-of-way within the limits of each part of the PROJECT.

                     With respect to new or existing utility installations within the right-of-way
                     of Federal Aid projects and pursuant to FAPG (23 CFR 6458):
                     Occupancy of non-limited access right-of-way may be allowed based on
                     consideration for traffic safety and necessary preservation of roadside
                     space and aesthetic quality. Longitudinal occupancy of non-limited access
                     right-of-way by private lines will require a finding of significant economic
                     hardship, the unavailability of practicable alternatives or other extenuating
                     circumstances.


                     Cause to be enacted, maintained and enforced, ordinances and regulations
                     for proper traffic operations in accordance with the plans of the
                     PROJECT.


                     Make no changes to ordinances or regulations enacted, or traffic controls
                     installed in conjunction with the PROJECT work without prior review by
                     the DEPARTMENT and approval of the FHWA, if required.




03-15-93                                       13
B,     On projects for the removal of roadside obstacles, the patties, upon completion of
       construction of each part of the PROJECT, at no cost to the PROJECT or the
       DEPARTMENT, will, within their respective jurisdictions, take such action as is
       necessary to assure that the roadway right-of-way, cleared as the PROJECT, will be
       maintained free of such obstacles.


C.     On projects for the construction of bikeways, the parties will enact no ordinances or
       regulations prohibiting the use of bicycles on the facility hereinbefore described as the
       PROJECT, and will amend any existing restrictive ordinances in this regard so as to
       allow use of this facility by bicycles. No motorized vehicles shall be permitted on such
       bikeways or walkways constructed as the PROJECT except those for maintenance
       purposes,



D.     Failure of the parties hereto to fulfill their respective responsibilities as outlined herein
       may disqualify that party from future Federal-aid participation in projects on roads or
       streets for which it has maintenance responsibility.    Federal Aid may be withheld until
       such time as deficiencies in regulations have been corrected, and the improvements
       constructed as the PROJECT are brought to a satisfactory condition of maintenance.
