SUBJECT: Transportation Alternatives Project Funding and Maintenance Agreement
UPN 9451 — Hwy 93-Kal Bike/Pedestrian Path
MEETING DATE: January 16, 2018
BACKGROUND: The Montana Department of Transportation has approved our MAP-21
TA project application and awarded grant funding for the Hwy 93 bike/pedestrian path, located
along the west side of US 93 adjacent to the Kalispell Youth Athletic Complex. The project
consists of a shared use path section approximately 892 feet in length completely within the
MDT right-of-way. Under MAP-21 TA, trail projects completely on -system (in the MDT right-
of-way) do not require a local match.
The project amount of $251,152 for preliminary engineering, construction engineering, and
construction of the trail will be paid for with Federal and State funds. The breakdown is
$217,447 in TA funds, and $33,705 in State funds. The State will design, advertise for bid, and
award the contract to construct an ADA compliant bike/pedestrian path in Kalispell adjacent to
the KYAC. Upon completion of the project the City agrees to service, maintain, repair and
operate the path at its own expense.
RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended the City Council accept the grant and approve the
project agreement with the Montana MDT.
FISCAL EFFECTS: There are no fiscal effects.
ALTERNATIVES: As suggested by council.
ATTACHMENTS: Agreement with the Montana Dept. of Transportation

MONTANA TRANSPORTATION ALTERNATIVES PROGRAM
PROJECT FUNDING AND MAINTENANCE AGREEMENT
THIS AGREEMENT is made and entered into by and between the State of Montana, acting by and
through its Department of Transportation, P.O. Box 201001, Helena MT 59620-1001, hereinafter called
"MDT" or the "State", and the City of Kalispell, hereinafter called the "City" together referred to as
"the Parties".
WHEREAS, the City was successful in obtaining Montana Transportation Alternative (TA) funds to
develop and construct a shared -use path in Kalispell through TA project, UPN 9451000, titled BIKE/PED
PATH II HWY 93-KAL (hereinafter the "Project"); and,
WHEREAS, the estimated cost of the Project's development as noted in Table 1 of this agreement will
be financed by the State using TA funds and matching funds provided by the State; and,
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the covenants herein contained, the parties agree that:
1. The State will design, advertise for bid and let and award the Project to construct a shared -use path
approximately 892 feet in length. The Project shall be located in Kalispell along the west side of US 93
(N-5) adjacent to the Kalispell Youth Complex.

4. Section 17-1-106. MCA requires any state agency, including MDT that receives non -general funds to
identify and recover its indirect costs. These costs are in addition to direct Project costs. MDT's indirect
cost rate is determined annually as a percentage of the Project's direct costs to cover the Project's share
BIKE/PI D PATH II HWY 93 KAL
U P N 9451
of MDT's indirect costs as defined by 2 CFR Part 200, Appendix VII. MDT's current indirect cost rate is
10.96% for fiscal year 2018 (July 1, 2017 to June 30, 2018).
5. The Parties understand that it is possible that the estimated cost of the Project may be exceeded
once the Project has begun. For the PE and CE phases, the State agrees to cover cost overruns using TA
and State matching funds. For the CN phase, the State agrees to award the Project using TA funds
provided the lowest responsive bid does not exceed the allowable overrun percentage listed in Table 2.
The State will contact the City if the lowest responsive bid exceeds the allowable overrun percentage
listed in Table 2 to determine a funding solution agreeable to both Parties.
If both Parties don't agree to fund the overrun, the State will recommend the Commission not award
the Project. The State will work with the City to identify scope changes to bring the Project into a
fundable level and re -advertise for letting. If scope changes cannot be agreed to by both Parties, then
the Project may either be re -advertised and both Parties agree to fully fund it in accordance with this
agreement or the Project may be withdrawn and the City agrees to reimburse the State for all TA funds
expended to date.
The State's Project Manager will inform the City's point of contact beforehand, and as early as possible,
of anything that appears will result in a cost increase, and will discuss the need for any possible
additional costs, alternative designs, or a reduction in the Project's scope with the City and will
consider the City's comments and concerns for that additional cost or alteration in scope or design.
None of this will prevent, delay, or excuse the City from paying for any additional costs deemed
necessary by State.
6. If payment is not made within that thirty (30) day period, interest on the unpaid amount will accrue
at the rate of 10% per year, and continue to accrue until paid in full. If the City is billed for additional
funds, MDT will not participate in any future funding agreement with the City until full payment,
including interest, is received from the City.
7. Upon completion of the Project by the State and its contractor, the City, at its sole expense, agrees
that it will service, maintain, repair and pay the cost of operating the Project described in this
agreement. The City agrees that it is responsible to service, maintain, repair and operate the Project to
ensure that it does not negatively impact the operation of the path or the safety of the traveling public.
In the event that all or part of the Project becomes unsafe for use, the City agrees to restrict access to
the affected area until the condition has been repaired.
If the City fails to service, maintain, repair and pay the cost of operating this Project as described in this
agreement, the State, in its sole discretion, may service, maintain, repair and operate the Project and
bill the City for such service, maintenance and operation, and the City agrees to pay the State its costs.
Service, maintenance, repair and operation costs are subject to indirect cost recovery as per Section
17-1-106. MCA.
