ISSUE
Proposed program to address the issue of potential environmental contamination in downtown Tigard.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION/ACTION REQUEST
The Board of the CCDA is requested to provide feedback on the proposed coordinated program to address the issue of
potential environmental contamination in downtown Tigard.
KEY FACTS AND INFORMATION SUMMARY
A number of sites of interest in Downtown Tigard are either confirmed or suspected of environmental contamination.
Some sites have had Phase I and Phase II Environmental Site Assessments commissioned.The Oregon Department of
Environmental Quality(DEQ)Environmental Clean-Up database lists a number of sites in Downtown Tigard.Historic
and present-day land uses in downtown make it likely that additional cases of environmental contamination will be
discovered.
`Brownfields"are defined by Environmental Protection Agency as"real property,the expansion,redevelopment,or
reuse of which may be complicated by the presence or potential presence of a hazardous substance,pollutant,or
contaminant."The presence of a brownfield adds to the challenges of redevelopment due to the costs of clean up and
potential exposure to liability.
To address the issue in downtown,the City Center Development Agency's strategy will be to provide and coordinate
resources to facilitate the redevelopment of properties that have (or are perceived to have)environmental
contamination.Through an anticipated mix of urban renewal,state,and federal funds,the Agency will:
1)Pro-actively work to assess environmental contamination on publicly and privately owned property.
2) Raise substantial funds to subsidize clean-up
3) Seek partners to dean-up and redevelop or improve contaminated properties consistent with the Tigard Downtown
Improvement Plan and City Center Urban Renewal Plan.
As a first step in this process,a grant application for$25,000 will be made to the Oregon Business Development
Department Brownfields Redevelopment Program. (Council will be requested to approve a resolution in support of the
application.) If the application is successful,the grant will be utilized to perform outreach to property owners,compile
an inventory of properties with potential environmental issues,and do baseline assessments of them.
This background information will lay the groundwork for an application to be made in the fall of 2013 for more
substantial grant funding from the EPA Brownfield Program. If EPA Grant funding is obtained,the Agency will have
additional resources to engage property owners and developers on specific sites where potential environmental
contamination is a barrier to redevelopment.The Agency will provide and/or coordinate resources for technical
assistance,assessment,and other activities to get properties"redevelopment-ready."
It should be noted that Federal grant funding for brownfields is highly competitive (and could be more so due to the
effects of budget sequestration). However even without Federal funding,the Agency,with more limited resources from
the state and urban renewal,can make headway on the issue through outreach and education to property owners.
OTHER ALTERNATIVES
The Board of the CCDA can direct staff to pursue other strategies to address the issue of potential environmental
contamination in downtown Tigard.

ISSUE
Shall the Local Contract Review Board adopt revisions to the city's Public Contracting Rules?
STAFF RECOMMENDATION /ACTION REQUEST
Staff recommends the Local Contract Review Board approve the resolution revising the city's Public Contracting Rules.
KEY FACTS AND INFORMATION SUMMARY
Tigard's current Public Contracting Rules (Rules)have been in place since late 2011. While these rules have kept the
city largely in compliance with applicable State of Oregon public contracting and purchasing laws, statutes,and rules,the
city does need to make one key revision to remain in compliance. Staff is also recommending a few minor revisions
that,while not required by a law,statute,or rule,will help with streamlining the Rules to better serve the city's
day-to-day activities.A matrix of the proposed revisions is attached for review.
Staff recommends the Local Contract Review Board(Board) approve the attached resolution establishing the revised
Rules along with the attached supporting findings for exemptions so the city may have the revisions in place on May 15,
2013. In addition,the city's Contracting and Purchasing Manual(Manual),which is utilized by staff as a guide through
the contracting and purchasing rules and processes,will be revised to reflect the changes to the Rules. Staff
recommends the Board authorize and direct staff to make the necessary changes to the Manual.
OTHER ALTERNATIVES
Do not approve all,or some of, the revisions and leave the current Rules in place and the city will follow the Attorney
General's Model Public Contracting Rules where the city's rules do not address an issue.
Do not approve the revisions;dissolve the current Rules,and direct the city to follow the Attorney General's Model
Public Contracting Rules beginning June,30,2013.

criteria in the selection of a consultant... qualifications for the work are determining factor.
After determining the most qualified consultant the city would then negotiate a price. If the
parties could not come to acceptable terms,the city could open discussions with the second
most qualified consultant.
Staff will also need to solicit for, and maintain, a qualified list of vendors to select from for

quality, experience, availability, commitment to timely completion, and other factors.
b. The process to be followed for establishing the guaranteed maximum price.
c. A description of the circumstances under which any of the following activities may be
authorized and undertaken for compensation prior to establishing the GMP, but only
after unit prices are established:

and subcontractors.
b. Either the maximum guaranteed price or a process for establishing a guaranteed
maximum price.
c. A description of the situations in which the CM/GC may perform the work of the
improvement without subcontracting, including any requirement that the CM/GC
compete with others to do the work and the work that the CM/GC may perform
directly without a competitive process.
d. The standards or factors under which changes or additional work that warrants an
increase in the GMP, as well as criteria for decreasing the GMP. The GMP shall not be I
increased without a concomitant increase to the scope of the GMP.
e. The disposition of any cost savings resulting from completion of the work below the
GMP, including the CM/GC share, if any, in those cost savings. _Normally, the cost
savings should accrue to the City.
f. The items or categories of items are eligible for cost reimbursement within the GMP.
g. A provision for a final audit adjustment and process.

costs, shall be identified during and become an element of the selection process. It shall
subsequently be expressed as a fixed amount when the GMP is established.
i. Any economic incentives, the specific criteria that apply and their relationship to other
financial elements of the Contract (including the GMP).
B. Design-Build Contracts
1. A design-build contract is one in which a single entity designs and constructs a public
I improvement. -Design-build contracts shall only be used if City staff has the expertise and

a. Obtain through a Design-Build team, engineering design, plan preparation, value
engineering, construction engineering, construction, quality control and required
documentation as a fully integrated function with a single point of responsibility;
b. Integrate value engineering suggestions into the design phase, as the construction
contractor joins the project team early with design responsibilities under a team
approach,with the potential of reducing contract changes;
c. Reduce the risk of design flaws, misunderstandings and conflicts inherent in
construction contractors building from designs in which they have had no opportunity
for input,with the potential of reducing contract claims;
d. Shorten project time as construction activity (early submittals, mobilization,
subcontracting and advance work) commences prior to completion of a "biddable"
design, or where a design solution is still required (as in complex or phased projects); or
e. Obtain innovative design solutions through the collaboration of the contractor and
design team,which would,not otherwise be possible if the contractor had not yet been
selected.
2. A design-build contractor must have an Oregon licensed design professional(s) on staff that
Iwill be assigned to the City's project. _The design-build contractor must disclose in its
proposal the name of the Oregon licensed design professional(s) and verify that the
professional(s) will be the one(s)providing primary design services to the City.

documents and contract, along with a description of the level or type of any design services
' previously performed for the project. _The services to be performed shall be clearly
delineated as either design specifications or performance standards.
5. The contract shall clearly identify the liability of design professionals, shall include
requirements for professional liability insurance, and shall clearly identify the extent of any
indemnity or warranty.
C. Other Public Improvement Contracts Where Quality is an Issue
In many situations, including those projects that require a higher than normal level of expertise
or skill, quality of the final product may be important beyond meeting minimum specifications. I
In those situations, the City may use a request for proposal process, provided that the cost factor
constitutes at least 75% percent of the total evaluation score. In scoring the cost factor, the
proposer submitting the lowest cost amount shall receive the maximum possible score for the
cost factor, and the scores of the other proposers shall be reduced by the percentage by which
their cost exceeded the lowest cost. For example,if the maximum score for the cost factor is 80,
the lowest cost proposer would get a score of 80. A proposer with a cost that is 10 percent
higher would have the score reduced by 10 percent (8 points), to 72.

services and that a balance must exist between performance competition and price
competition.

proposers to perform the services followed by a negotiation on price;
e. Competition as represented by another method of procurement that is reasonably
determined to satisfy the City's needs.
D. All public contracts shall be made under conditions that foster or reflect competition among a
sufficient number of potential suppliers that offer a wide spectrum of products and services and
that represent a broad marketplace.Yostering competition shall be reflected in:
1. Research made to determine possible new sources of supply;
2. Attempts made to ensure solicitation documents are simple and inviting;
3. Everyday courtesy shown to prospective suppliers and contractors; and
4. The way information on contracting opportunities is provided to suppliers including but not
limited to advertisement in publications of general circulation or in trade publications and
any other reasonable methods that encourage competition.

choose the appropriate solicitation process, or award contracts according to the criteria
described herein and arrive at offers that represent optimal value to the City.

error in judgment, the bid or proposal may not be withdrawn or corrected. _Correction or
withdrawal by reason of nonjudgmental mistake is permissible but only to the extent it is not
contrary to the interest of the City or the fair treatment of other bidders or proposers.
B. Mistakes Discovered after Bid Closing but before Award
This section applies to situations where mistakes in bids are discovered after the submission deadline
but before award.
1. Minor Informalities
Minor informalities are matters of form rather than substance that are evident from the bid
documents, or insignificant mistakes that can be waived or corrected promptly without
prejudice to other bidders or the City; that is, the informality does not affect price, quantity,
quality, delivery, or contractual conditions except in the case of informalities involving unit
prices. Examples include,but are not limited to, the failure of a bidder to:
a. Return the number of signed bids or number of other documents required by the bid
documents
b. Sign the bid form in the designated block so long the bid documents evidence an intent
to be bound; or
c. Acknowledge receipt of an addendum to the bid documents, but only if:
�j�It is clear from the bid that the bidder received the addendum and intended to be
bound by its terms; or
2:4The addendum involved did not affect price, quantity, quality, or delivery.
C. Mistakes Where Intended Correct Bid is Evident
If the mistake and the intended correct bid are clearly on the face of the bid form, or can be
substantiated from accompanying documents, the City may accept the bid. _Examples of mistakes I
that may be clearly evident on the face of the bid form are typographical errors, errors in extending
Iunit prices, transposition errors, and arithmetical errors. Mistakes that are clearly evident on the face
of the bid form or proposal document also may include instances in which the intended correct bid
Ior proposal item is made clearly evident by simple arithmetic calculations. _For example, a missing
unit price may be established by dividing the total bid or proposal item by the quantity of units for
that item, and a missing or incorrect total bid or proposal price for an item may be established by
Imultiplying the unit price by the quantity when those figures are available on the bid or proposal.
For discrepancies between unit prices and extended prices,unit prices shall normally prevail.
D. Mistakes Where Intended Correct Bid is Not Evident
The City may not accept a bid in which a mistake is clearly evident on the face of the bid form but
the intended correct bid is not clearly evident or cannot be substantiated from accompanying
documents.
30.090 TIME FOR ACCEPTANCE
Bids shall be valid and binding offers for 30 days from the deadline to submit bids unless otherwise
specified in the bid documents. Proposals shall be binding and valid offers for 60 days from the date

be evaluated to determine which bidder offers the lowest cost to the City in accordance with the
evaluation criteria set forth in the bid documents. Only objectively measurable criteria,which are set
forth in the bid documents, shall be applied in determining the lowest responsible bidder. Examples
of such criteria include,but are not limited to, transportation cost,volume weighing, trade-in
allowances, depreciation allowances, cartage penalties, and ownership or life cycle cost formulas.
Evaluation factors need not be precise predictors of actual future costs, but to the extent possible,
such evaluation factors:
1. Are reasonable estimates based upon information the City has available concerning future I
use;
2. Treat all bids equitably; and
3. Recognize that public policy requires acquisitions and public improvements to be

life cycle cost adjustments.
3. The results of life cycle costing adjustments shall be applied to the bid or proposal price of
the product(s) offered. The bid or proposal that results in the lowest overall ownership cost,

A. A responsible bidder or proposer is one who has:
1. Adequate financial resources to perform the contract, or the ability to obtain such resources.

acceptably is strong evidence of non-responsibility. _The City shall consider the number of
contracts involved and the extent of the deficiency of each in making this evaluation. _In
addition, the City may consider whether the bidder's performance history demonstrates
responsibility as defined in ORS 279B.110 and 279C. 375;

credit report information the City deems necessary to investigate and evaluate financial
responsibility to perform the contract(s).

responsibility investigation shall be grounds for a finding of non-responsibility.
I D. Only bids and proposals from responsible bidders or proposers, as defined in this rule, shall be

PCR 70.000 - PERSONAL SERVICES CONTRACTS
70.010 PERSONAL SERVICES CONTRACTS
A. Personal service contracts are not "public contracts" subject to formal competitive process
under the Oregon Public Contracting Code. This Section of the PCRs describes a method for
distinguishing between personal service contracts and public contracts, particularly service
contracts, and provides examples of contracts or classes of contracts which are or are not
personal service contracts.
B. The determination whether a contract is a public contracts or a personal service contract shall be
based on the following:
1. Whether the City has developed or is reasonably able to develop reasonably adequate design
and/or performance specifications and whether selecting a contractor on the basis of lowest
price and meeting minimum specifications would likely meet the City's needs. If the tasks to
be performed can reasonably be performed based solely on compliance with minimum
specifications, then the tasks should be performed pursuant to a public contract awarded by
a competitive bidding process. Conversely, if the City is reasonably unable to develop
adequate design and/or performance specifications but must instead have the assistance of
the contractor's training, knowledge,and expertise to develop a scope of work statement and
selecting the contractor on the basis of lowest price would be unlikely to meet the City's
needs, then the tasks would most appropriately be performed under a personal service
contract.
2. Whether selecting the contractor on the basis of qualifications rather than lowest price will
result in the City obtaining the best value for its money.
3. A personal service contract is appropriate where the contract is awarded primarily on the
basis of the contractor's qualifications, including but not limited to, such criteria as
experience, training, knowledge, and expertise, technical skill, creativity, artistic ability,
performance history, and demonstrated ability to exercise sound professional judgment.
Price will be a secondary criterion for awarding a personal service contract.
4. A personal service contract is not appropriate where price is or should be the primary or a
major selection criterion.
C. Personal service contracts may include, but are not limited to, the following:
1. Contracts for services performed as an independent contractor in the professional capacity,
including but not limited to the services of an accountant; attorney; architectural or land use
planning consultant; physician or dentist; registered professional engineer; appraiser or
surveyor; aerial photographer; timber cruiser; broadcaster; or data processing consultant.
2. Contracts for such services as an artist in the performing of fine arts,including but not
limited to photographer, fihnmaker; painter;weaver;or sculptor.
3. Contracts for services of a specialized creative and research oriented, noncommercial nature.
4. Contracts for educational and human custodial care services.
ID. The following are NOT personal service contracts:
1. Contracts, even though in a professional capacity, if predominately for a product, e.g., a
contract with a landscape architect to design a garden is for personal services, but a contract
to design a garden and supply all the shrubs and trees is predominately a tangible product.
2. A service contract, including a contract with a temporary service or personnel agency, to
supply labor which is of a type that can generally be done by any competent worker, e.g.,
data entry, janitorial, security guard, crowd management, crop spraying, laundry, and
landscape maintenance service contracts
3. Contracts for trade related activities considered to be labor and material contracts.
4. Contracts for services of a trade-related activity, to accomplish routine, continuing, and
necessary functions, even though a specific license is required to engage in the activity.
Examples are repair and/or maintenance of all types of equipment or structures.

ISSUE
Briefing on an amendment to a local agency agreement with the Oregon Department of Transportation(ODOT) to
increase funding for the Main Street Phase I improvements from Pacific Highway(99W) to the railroad corridor.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION/ACTION REQUEST
No action is required;the council will consider the amendment to the local agency agreement on its April 9,2013,
consent agenda.
KEY FACTS AND INFORMATION SUMMARY
The Prosect and Costs
Phase I of the Main Street Green Street project received a Federal-Aid Surface Transportation Program(STP)grant
from Metro to construct green street elements such as pedestrian improvements,stormwater planters,LED street lights
and landscaping.Due to design changes,the total estimated project costs have increased by about$425,000 from$3.04
million to be$3.47 million.
The increase in project costs can be attributed to:
•2012 council-directed design changes related to the turn-around,and the apartment complex and adjacent
property owners.
•An extensive public involvement effort for parking.
•Re-design of the Burnham Street/Main Street intersection,Tri-Met bus stops and curb lines (to increase
pedestrian space).
.Refinement of project costs.
The Amendment
The attached amendment,in conjunction with a local agency agreement with ODOT*,documents the increase in
project costs and re-allocates$425,000 of a$1.66 million Metro grant from Main Street Green Street Phase II to Phase
I.This will ensure Phase I is fully funded by increasing the STP award from$2.7 million to just over$3.1 million.The
City must provide the remaining funding—approximately$365,000—which includes the city's local match.
*See the Briefrng on a Local Agency Agreement with ODOT to Partially Fund Main Street Phase II Improvements firm the Railroad
Corridor to Scbfns Street (AIS-1086).The briefing on this agreement is scheduled for this meeting.
OTHER ALTERNATIVES
The council could propose changes to the amendment or could decide not to approve the amendment.The amendment
is currently scheduled for consideration on the council's April 9,2013,consent agenda.
If the city and ODOT fail to execute an amendment,project funding for Main Street Green Street Phase I would be
compromised.

City Center Urban Renewal Plan, (2005)
DATES OF PREVIOUS CONSIDERATION
On August 11,2009,the council approved the original local agency agreement(Surface Transportation Program)
between ODOT and the city.
On October 25,2011,the council re-allocated$1.66 million in grant funding from the Walnut Street improvement
project to Phase II of the Main Street Green Street project.
Fiscal Impact
Cost: $3.5 million
Budgeted(yes or no): Yes
Where Budgeted(department/program):Multiple funds-see below
Additional Fiscal Notes:
Due to design changes and a more refined estimate,project costs have increased by about$425,000 from$3.04
million to be$3.47 million. If this amendment is approved,$425,000 of a$1.66 million Metro grant will be
re-allocated from Main Street Green Street Phase II to Phase I.This will ensure Phase I is fully funded by increasing
the STP award from$2.7 million to just over$3.1 million.The city must provide the remaining
funding—approximately$365,000—which includes the city's local match.
*City funding will come from the following sources:
•$1.1 million Gas Tax Fund for the city's local match,professional services contracts outside the ODOT
agreement and staff time.
•$240,000 Water Fund
Since the increase in grant funding will offset the increase in estimated project costs,approval of this amendment does
not impact internal expenses for this project.However,approval of the amendment,and the corresponding local
agency agreement for Phase II**,will reduce grant funding for Phase II by$425,000. Staff anticipated this reduction
and increased the city's match accordingly.The city's estimated cost to construct Phase II is$1 million.The current
CIP contains a total of$1.1 million in city funds in fiscal years 2014-2015 ($550,000) and 2016-2017 ($550,000) for
Phase Il.

Briefing on a local agency agreement with the Oregon Department of Transportation(ODOT) to partially fund Main
Street Phase II improvements from the railroad corridor to Scoffins Street.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION/ACTION REQUEST
No action is required;the council will consider the local agency agreement on its April 9,2013,consent agenda.
KEY FACTS AND INFORMATION SUMMARY
The Proiect and Costs
Phase II of the Main Street Green Street project will rebuild portions of Main Street from the railroad tracks north to
Scoffins Street,incorporating green street elements such as pedestrian improvements,stormwater planters,LED street
lights and landscaping.Project costs are estimated to be$2.23 million.
The northernmost section of Main Street,from Scoffins Street to Pacific Highway (99W),was improved as part of the
Greenburg Road/Pacific Highway/Main Street intersection improvement project. Similar improvements will be
underway shortly on the southernmost section of Main Street,from Pacific Highway to the railroad tracks,through
Phase I of the Main Street Green Street project.
Upon completion of the Phase II construction,currently scheduled to begin in fiscal year 2014-2015,the entire length
of Main Street will have been rebuilt to green street standards.
The Agreement
The attached agreement,between the city and ODOT, formalizes responsibilities as they pertain to Phase II of the
Main Street Green Street project. General terms of the agreement are as follows.
ODOT will:
•Oversee the project and the management of$1.23 million in Federal-Aid Surface Transportation (STP) dollars.
•Oversee the acquisition of right of way and easements for compliance with federal regulations.A separate
agreement will be presented to council for these services after the project design is underway.
•Prepare contract and bid documents,advertise for bid proposals and award all contracts.
Tigard will:
•Provide all funding in excess of the available federal funds—estimated to be about$1 million. (I'his includes the
city's local match.)
•Hire consultants to provide all construction engineering,field testing of materials,technical inspection and
project management services.
•Assume responsibility,defend any lawsuits,indemnify and hold the state (ODOT) harmless for claims or lawsuits.
•Obtain all permits.
•Be responsible for acquisition of right of way and easements.
This agreement,in conjunction with an amendment to a local agency agreement with ODOT*,will re-allocate$425,000
of a$1.66 million Metro grant from Main Street Green Street Phase II to Phase I.
*See the Briefing on a Local Agency Agreement Amendment with ODOT to Partially Fund Main Street Phare I Improvements from
Pacific Huy. to the Railmad (AIS-1088).The briefing on this amendment is scheduled for this meeting.
The Relationship
The Federal Highway Administration(FHWA)is the ultimate outside funding source for both phases of the Main
Street Green Street project.The federal funding reaches the local agencies through Metro grants. Metro is a designated
Transportation Management Area Metropolitan Planning Organization,receiving a sub-allocation of funds from the
Federal Highway Administration(FHWA). Through the grant process,these funds are distributed to select projects
meeting various Metro criteria,such as green streets. City staff applied for and received the initial grants for Main
Street Green Street,Phase I and Phase II.
The FHWA has designated ODOT,through an agreement between agencies,to oversee the management of these
funds and projects. ODOT enters into a contract with the city's design consultant and reviews plans for compliance
with design and construction standards.Metro continues to be involved to ensure grant criteria,like green street
elements,are met throughout design.
OTHER ALTERNATIVES
The council could propose changes to the agreement or could decide not to approve the agreement.The agreement
is currently scheduled for consideration on the council's April 9,2013,consent agenda.
If the city and ODOT fail to execute an agreement,project funding for Phase I would be compromised.

DATES OF PREVIOUS CONSIDERATION
This is the first time this agreement has come before the council.
On October 25,2011,the council re-allocated$1.66 million in Metro grant funding from the Walnut Street
improvement project to Phase II of the Main Street Green Street project.

Additional Fiscal Notes:
This agreement,in conjunction with an amendment to another agreement with ODOT**,re-allocates$425,000 of a
$1.66 million Metro grant from Main Street Green Street Phase II to Phase I.This ensures Phase I is fully funded.
However,approval of this agreement and the amendment will reduce grant funding for Phase II by$425,000. Staff
anticipated this reduction and increased the city's match accordingly.
Phase II project costs are estimated to be$2.23 million.Assuming the city enters into the agreement and accepts
$1.23 million in grant funding,the city will be responsible for the balance of the project costs--approximately$1
million.
*The current CIP contains a total of$1.1 million in city funds in fiscal years 2014-2015 ($550,000) and 2016-2017
($550,000)—sufficient funds to construct Phase II. Funding is as follows:

SPECIAL PROVISIONS
1. Agency or its consultant shall, as a federal-aid participating preliminary engineering
function, conduct the necessary field surveys, environmental studies, traffic
investigations, foundation explorations, and hydraulic studies, identify and obtain all
required permits, assist State with acquisition of necessary right of way and/or
easements, and perform all preliminary engineering and design work required to
produce final plans, preliminary/final specifications and cost estimates.
2. Upon State's award of the construction contract, Agency, or its consultant, shall be
responsible to perform all construction engineering, field testing of materials,
technical inspection and project manager services for administration of the contract.
3. State may make available Region 1's On-Call Preliminary Engineering (PE), Design
and Construction Engineering Services consultant for Local Agency Projects upon
written request. If Agency chooses to use said services, Agency agrees to manage
the work performed by the consultant and make funds available to the State for
payment of those services. All eligible work will be a federally participating cost and
included as part of the total cost of the Project.
4. Indemnification language in the Standards Provisions, Paragraphs 46 and 47; and
Paragraph 4 in regards to tort claims, shall be replaced with the following language:
a. If any third party makes any claim or brings any action, suit or proceeding
alleging a tort as now or hereafter defined in ORS 30.260 ("Third Party Claim")
against State or Agency with respect to which the other Party may have liability,
the notified Party must promptly notify the other Party in writing of the Third Party
Claim and deliver to the other Party a copy of the claim, process, and all legal
pleadings with respect to the Third Party Claim. Each Party is entitled to
participate in the defense of a Third Party Claim, and to defend a Third Party
Claim with counsel of its own choosing. Receipt by a Party of the notice and
copies required in this paragraph and meaningful opportunity for the Party to
participate in the investigation, defense and settlement of the Third Party Claim
with counsel of its own choosing are conditions precedent to that Party's liability
with respect to the Third Party Claim.
b. With respect to a Third Party Claim for which State is jointly liable with Agency
(or would be if joined in the Third Party Claim), State shall contribute to the
amount of expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts
paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred and paid or payable by
Agency in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of State on
the one hand and of Agency on the other hand in connection with the events
which resulted in such expenses, judgments, fines or settlement amounts, as
well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of State on
the one hand and of Agency on the other hand shall be determined by reference
7
to, among other things, the Parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to
information and opportunity to correct or prevent the circumstances resulting in
such expenses, judgments, fines or settlement amounts. State's contribution
amount in any instance is capped to the same extent it would have been capped
under Oregon law, including the Oregon Tort Claims Act, ORS 30.260 to 30.300,
if State had sole liability in the proceeding.
c. With respect to a Third Party Claim for which Agency is jointly liable with State
(or would be if joined in the Third Party Claim), Agency shall contribute to the
amount of expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts
paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred and paid or payable by State
in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of Agency on the
one hand and of State on the other hand in connection with the events which
resulted in such expenses, judgments, fines or settlement amounts, as well as
any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of Agency on the
one hand and of State on the other hand shall be determined by reference to,
among other things, the Parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information
and opportunity to correct or prevent the circumstances resulting in such
expenses, judgments, fines or settlement amounts. Agency's contribution
amount in any instance is capped to the same extent it would have been capped
under Oregon law, including the Oregon Tort Claims Act, ORS 30.260 to 30.300,
if it had sole liability in the proceeding.
d. The Parties shall attempt in good faith to resolve any dispute arising out of this
Agreement. In addition, the Parties may agree to utilize a jointly selected
mediator or arbitrator (for non-binding arbitration) to resolve the dispute short of
litigation.
5. Agency shall, at its own expense, maintain and operate the Project upon completion
at a minimum level that is consistent with normal depreciation and/or service demand.
6. Agency shall, upon completion of the Project, maintain and supply power for Project
illumination at its own expense.
7. Maintenance responsibilities will survive any termination of this Agreement.

unless otherwise agreed and allowable by law. Agency shall be responsible for the entire
match amount, unless otherwise agreed to and specified in the intergovernmental
agreement.
25. Agency's estimated share and advance deposit.
a) Agency shall, prior to commencement of the preliminary engineering and/or
right of way acquisition phases, deposit with State its estimated share of
each phase. Exception may be made in the case of projects where Agency
has written approval from State to use in-kind contributions rather than cash
to satisfy all or part of the matching funds requirement.
b) Agency's construction phase deposit shall be 110 percent of Agency's share
of the engineer's estimate and shall be received prior to award of the
construction contract. Any additional balance of the deposit, based on the
actual bid must be received within forty-five (45) days of receipt of written
notification by State of the final amount due, unless the contract is canceled.
Any unnecessary balance of a cash deposit, based on the actual bid, will be
refunded within forty-five (45) days of receipt by State of the Project
sponsor's written request.
c) Pursuant to ORS 366.425, the advance deposit may be in the form of
1) money deposited in the State Treasury (an option where a deposit is made
in the Local Government Investment Pool, and an Irrevocable Limited Power
of Attorney is sent to the Highway Finance Office), or 2) an Irrevocable Letter
of Credit issued by a local bank in the name of State, or 3) cash.
d) Agency may satisfy all or part of any matching funds requirements by use of
in-kind contributions rather than cash when prior written approval has been
given by State.
26. If the estimated cost exceeds the total matched federal funds available, Agency shall
deposit its share of the required matching funds, plus 100 percent of all costs in excess of
the total matched federal funds. Agency shall also pay 100 percent of the cost of any item in
which FHWA will not participate. if Agency has not repaid any non-participating cost, future
allocations of federal funds, or allocations of State Highway Trust Funds, to that Agency
may be withheld to pay the non-participating costs. If State approves processes,
procedures, or contract administration outside the Local Agency Guidelines that result in
items being declared non-participating, those items will not result in the withholding of
Agency's future allocations of federal funds or the future allocations of State Highway Trust
Funds.

either directly or through contract services, and State shall bear any State administrative
costs incurred. After settlement of payments, State shall deliver surveys, maps, field notes,
and all other data to Agency.
29.Agency shall follow requirements of the Single Audit Act. The requirements stated in the
Single Audit Act must be followed by those local governments and non-profit organizations
receiving $500,000 or more in federal funds. The Single Audit Act of 1984, PL 98-502 as
amended by PL 104-156, described in "OMB CIRCULAR NO. A-133", requires local
governments and non-profit organizations to obtain an audit that includes internal controls
and compliance with federal laws and regulations of all federally-funded programs in which
the local agency participates. The cost of this audit can be partially prorated to the federal
program.
30. Agency shall make additional deposits, as needed, upon request from State. Requests for
additional deposits shall be accompanied by an itemized statement of expenditures and an
estimated cost to complete the Project.
31.Agency shall present invoices for 100 percent of actual costs incurred by Agency on behalf
of the Project directly to State's Liaison Person for review and approval. Such invoices shall
identify the Project and Agreement number, and shall itemize and explain all expenses for
which reimbursement is claimed. Billings shall be presented for periods of not less than one-
month duration, based on actual expenses to date. All billings received from Agency must
be approved by State's Liaison Person prior to payment. Agency's actual costs eligible for
federal-aid or State participation shall be those allowable under the provisions of Title 23
CFR Parts 1.11. 140 and 710. Final billings shall be submitted to State for processing
within three (3) months from the end of each funding phase as follows: 1) award date of a
construction contract for preliminary engineering (PE) 2) last payment for right of way
acquisition and 3) third notification for construction. Partial billing (progress payment) shall
be submitted to State within three (3) months from date that costs are incurred. Final billings
submitted after the three months shall not be eligible for reimbursement.
32.The cost records and accounts pertaining to work covered by this Agreement are to be kept
available for inspection by representatives of State and FHWA for a period of six (6) years
following the date of final voucher to FHWA. Copies of such records and accounts shall be
made available upon request. For real property and equipment, the retention period starts
from the date of disposition (Title 49 CFR 18.42).
33. State shall request reimbursement, and Agency agrees to reimburse State, for federal-aid
funds distributed to Agency if any of the following events occur:
STDPRO-2011.doc 14
Rev.01-18-2011
a) Right of way acquisition or actual construction of the facility for which
preliminary engineering is undertaken is not started by the close of the tenth
fiscal year following the fiscal year in which the federal-aid funds were

ISSUE
Briefing on an intergovernmental agreement(IGA)with Washington County on the Walnut Street improvement project.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION /ACTION REQUEST
No action is required;the council will consider the agreement on its April 9,2013,consent agenda.
KEY FACTS AND INFORMATION SUMMARY
The Walnut Street Improvement Prosect
County roadway improvements and city utility improvements are combined in the Walnut Street improvement
project.When compared to constructing the improvements separately,this combination will save money and reduce
disruptions to motorists and area residents.
The county's roadway portion of the project includes the construction of sidewalks,bike lanes,portions of center turn
lane, storm drainage,culvert replacement,street lighting and associated street improvements along Walnut Street(a
section of which lies adjacent to Fowler Middle School) from Tiedeman Avenue to the existing widened roadway
section at 116th Avenue.This project will also construct a traffic signal or roundabout and associated street widening at
the northern intersection of Walnut Street with 135th Avenue.
The city's utility portion of the project includes construction of a new sanitary sewer,undergrounding of existing
overhead franchised utilities and other utility-related improvements.
The IGA
This IGA defines the project,outlines how it will be completed,and designates the respective roles and
responsibilities of the city and county. Key terms of the agreement are:
•The county will lead and take responsibility for all aspects of delivering the project,including hiring and
overseeing an engineering firm to prepare the plans,acquiring right of way and easements,obtaining all necessary
permits,bidding the project,hiring and overseeing the contractor,managing and inspecting construction,and
paying the bills.
•The roadway work is funded primarily by Washington County's Major Streets Transportation Improvement
Program(MSTIP),with the city contributing staff resources to the project team in order to represent the city's
interests.
•The sanitary sewer construction and franchise utility undergrounding will be funded by the city. The city will
reimburse the county for the design,property acquisition,construction costs,and project management
and inspection of the utility work portion of the project.
•The city agrees to follow the federally-designated right of way acquisition process and to adopt a resolution of
necessity giving the county legal authority to obtain any easements required to construct the project.
Design work will begin in the current fiscal year and construction is planned in fiscal years 2013-2014 and 2014-2015.
This agreement has been reviewed and approved as to form by the city attorney.
OTHER ALTERNATIVES
The council could propose changes to the agreement or could decide not to approve the agreement. Some changes to
the agreement may be feasible,although the county would likely object to any changes that would add to its costs,
responsibility or liability.
If the county and city fail to execute an agreement,the county will not construct the project.MSTIP dollars would be
re-directed to other county projects.
COUNCIL OR CCDA GOALS,POLICIES,MASTER PLANS
This project is included in Tigard's 2035 Transportation System Plan. It is also listed in Metro's 2035 Regional Transportation
Plan
City officials have successfully worked with county officials to get this project funded through Washington County's
Major Streets Transportation Improvement Program(MSTIP).
DATES OF PREVIOUS CONSIDERATION
This is the first time this IGA has come before the council.
Fiscal Impact
Cost: $680,000
Budgeted(yes or no): Yes*
Where Budgeted(department/program):Multiple Funds-see below
Additional Fiscal Notes:

additional$85,000 in staff time as part of the project team to represent the city's interests.The city's total cost is
approximately$680,000.
*The current 2013-2017 CIP contains$1.5 million in city funds in fiscal years 2015-2016 and 2016-2017 to construct
the roadway improvements.The CIP assumed the city would receive additional funding from outside revenue sources
to complete the project.
If the council approves the IGA:
•The roadway improvements will be funded by the county through its Major Streets Transportation
Improvement Program(MSTIP).
•The project will be constructed in fiscal years 2013-2014 and 2014-2015;two years earlier than scheduled in the
city's CIP.
•City funding for this project will decrease from an estimated$1.5 million to$680,000. Funding in the proposed
2014-2018 Capital Improvement Plan(CIP)would be as follows:
•$300,000 Utility Undergrounding Fund
•$250,000 Sanitary Sewer Extension Program (and future reimbursement district)
•$65,000 Gas Tax Fund
•$65,000 Stormwater Fund
