The parties have the authority to enter into this Agreement pursuant to Idaho Code § 67-2332, which provides that one or more public agencies may contract with any one or more other public agencies to perform any governmental service, activity, or undertaking which each public agency entering into the contract is authorized by law to perform, provided that such contract is authorized by the governing body of each party and that such contract shall set forth fully the purposes, powers, rights, objectives and responsibilities of the contracting parties. AGREEMENT NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements herein contained, the parties do mutually undertake, promise, and agree as follows: SECTION 1. PROJECT DESCRIPTION The "Project" shall consist of and is defined as the "ACHD Components" and the "City Components," which in turn consist of and are defined as follows: 1.1 ACHD Components: The ACRD Components of the Project consist of the following: Travel lanes, bike lanes, curb and gutter, sidewalk (5' detached or 7' attached), medians, retaining walls, traffic control devices (traffic signal, signage, striping and intelligent transportation system facilities) and storm water structures. The ACHD Components fall within one of the categories set forth in Section 3109.3 of the Cost Share Policy. ACHD has the authority and power to construct and fund the ACHD Components pursuant to the provisions of Title 40, Chapters 13 and 14 of the Idaho Code. 1.2 Cit~omponents: The City Components of the Project consist of the following: Aesthetic features including landscaping, conduit for irrigation and irrigation pipe in the median and the buffer strip shown on Exhibit A. The City Components fall within one of the categories set forth in Section 3109.4 of the Cost Share Policy. The City Components are non- transportation components of the Project over which ACHD lacks authority to fund. The City intends at some point to install or require installation and maintenance of landscaping in the medians and buffer strip. 1.2.1 Interim Treatment: If the City does not install landscaping in the median coincident with Project construction or fully installed before substantial completion of the Project, the City will install an alternative treatment consistent with appropriate roadway safety guidelines. Such treatment will be subject to review and approval by ACHD. Page 2 of 7 SECTION 2. PROJECT DESIGN 2.1 Compliance with Standards and Specifications. ACHD shall design the Project in compliance with the standards of the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials ("AASHTO"), the adopted ACHD standards and specifications. 2.2 Review and Comment by City. ACHD will provide the City with the Project design plans for all phases for review and comment. ACRD shall inform City of any deadlines for providing comments to ACRD concerning the Project. ACHD will consider, but shall not be bound by the City's comments regarding the Project design. 2.3 Approval of Plans. ACRD shall approve or disapprove, in its sole discretion, the Project design plans. SECTION 3. MAINTENANCE OF CITY COMPONENTS Pursuant to Section 3109.4.1(3) of the Cost Share Policy, ACHD's agreement to incorporate the City Components into the Project is expressly conditioned upon City's concurrent agreement to perpetually replace, maintain, and care for the City Components, which City hereby agrees to do. Accordingly, City has requested a license from ACHD for the placement, replacement, care, and maintenance of the City Components, and ACRD has agreed to grant the City such license. Simultaneously with execution of this Agreement, the parties agree to execute a license agreement in the form of which is attached hereto as Exhibit C (the "License Agreement") and incorporated herein, which defines the responsibilities and obligations of City with respect to the City Components. As provided in the License Agreement, ACHD shall review and approve all City Components maintenance plans. SECTION 4. PROJECT CONSTRUCTION AND PROJECT COSTS 5.1 Construction to Conform with Plans and Law. The Project shall be constructed in conformance with the designs, plans and specifications approved by ACHD pursuant to Section 2 above.

City shall be responsible for the City Component design. ACHD shall pay all design costs associated with the ACRD Components. 5.3 Allocation of Construction Costs. The current estimate of the construction of the City Components is $107,000. Additionally, the City shall reimburse ACHD for five percent (5%) of all additional costs incurred by ACHD, required solely for the construction of the City Page 3 of 7 Components which shall be calculated on a prorated basis. The prorated basis for the above items will be calculated using the percentage of the City Component construction costs as they relate to the total Project construction costs. The parties acknowledge and agree that these costs are only an approximation of the cost in 2010 dollars for the City Components of the Project. The parties acknowledge and agree that rapid fluctuation in the cost of construction materials may affect the actual cost for the installation of the City Components and may result in costs that are substantially higher or lower than the estimated costs in 2010 dollars. City agrees that if any additional construction costs for the City Components are incurred, City shall be solely responsible to pay these additional costs. SECTION 5. INDEMNIFICATION 6.1 City Indemnitv.

The cost share policy maintains flexibility forACHD to consider unique features of projects and recognize the desires of the partnering agencies for roadway features within their boundaries. Each partnering agency has its own unique aesthetic vision for its community and the aesthetic features it desires, from landscaped medians, to street trees, to on street parking, to types and dimensions of sidewalks. This policy allows flexibility within the roadway design process, establishs a consistent set of transportation elements that ACRD will fund for all partnering agencies and provide the opportunity for financial participation from each partnering agency to make its own aethestic vision a reality. This policy is not intended to cover every possible situation in which decisions about cost sharing must occur. This policy is intended to complement the specific authority granted to ACRD pursuant to the Idaho Constitution and Idaho Code, not replace or supersede it. If there is a conflict between this policy and state and/or federal law, state and/or federal law shall control. The Interagency Cost Share Policy may apply to the following partnering agencies: 1. Cities 2. Counties 3. Urban Renewal Agencies 4. Idaho Transportation Department 5. Neighboring counties and highway districts 6. School districts 7. Utilities 8. Regional Public Transportation Authority (VRT) 9. Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) Management Agency (TMA) or Transportation Some projects may require ACHD and a partnering agency to partner with private entities, such as developers or private utilities, to fund both transportation and non-transportation elements of a project. Adopted: Revised: 3109 - 1 Section 3109 -Interagency Cost Share Policy (CLEAN 5-19-09) (2). DOCX 3109.2 ACHD Statutory Responsibilities As a special purpose government, ACHD's authority to make expenditures is limited to the specific authority granted under Idaho law. ACRD may only participate in interagency cost sharing for roadway projects to the extent that its participation complies with the specific powers granted to it by the Idaho Legislature as provided for in Idaho Code. ACRD is statutorily authorized in making expenditures on road improvements which include the design, construction, reconstruction and maintenance of highways and public rights-of- way, including drainage. ACRD is prohibited from exercising its powers of eminent domain to acquire private property unless the improvement to the right-of-way is consistent with ACHD's statutory authority and a public necessity as defined by established engineering industry standards. There are two separate chapters in Title 40 of the Idaho Code related to powers granted to ACHD: 1. Chapter 13 -Powers of ACHD outside cities; and 2. Chapter 14 -Powers of ACHD within cities. ACHD's powers are best summarized under applicable sections of I.C. §§ 40- 1310 and 40-1415. Any project improvements that result in costs outside ACHD's specific statutory mandated powers are costs that must be paid for by the partnering agency requesting the improvements. 3109.3 Transportation Components Pursuant to Idaho law, ACRD may fund the following transportation components: 1. Travel Lanes -Through or turn lanes for the purpose of vehicular movements; 2. Bike Lanes -Facilities for bicycle use within the curb-to-curb section of urban roadways or along shoulders of rural roadways; 3. Curbs and Gutter -Infrastructure for storm water conveyance on urban cross-sections; 4. Sidewalks -Facilities for the safe movement of pedestrians; including related safety buffers; 5. Paved Medians -Facilities installed for purposes of motorist safety, access management and traffic flow; 6. Retaining Walls -Facilities for buttressing of slopes as a result of roadway design; 7. Highway Lighting -Illumination for the primary benefit to the motorist; Adopted: Revised: 3109 - 2 Section 3109 -Interagency Cost Share Policy (CLEAN 5-19-09) (2). DOCX 8. Traffic Control Devices -Traffic signals, flashing beacons, signage, striping and intelligent transportation system facilities; 9. Drainage -Storm water structures where necessary for motorist safety and maintenance. 3109.3.1 Alternative Transportation 1. ACRD accommodates standard pedestrian and bicycle facilities in roadway and intersection projects, as defined by ACHD's Livable Street Design Guide or other cross- section policies. 2. Issues related to construction, placement or relocation of transit structures in the right-of--way shall be addressed through the Cooperative Agreement for Transit Structures between ACRD and Valley Regional Transit. 3109.3.2 Intelligent Transportation System Funding for ITS projects off of the ACHD system may be managed by ACHD, but will require full funding or local match from the agency on whose system the project exists. 3109.3.3 Storm Water Quality ACHD is responsible for design, construction, and reconstruction of storm water drainage where necessary for motorist safety or right-of-way maintenance. If ACHD determines that an agency's request for a project will have an adverse affect on storm water quantity or quality, the requesting agency, at its sole cost shall be responsible for mitigating any such adverse effects. 3109.4 Non-Transportation Components Road project elements over which ACHD has no statutory authority, must be coordinated with the appropriate land use and/or public transportation agency. 3109.4.1 Aesthetic Features A partnering agency may request the inclusion of aesthetic features for roadway projects in the ACHD Five-Year Work Plan. Aesthetic features may include, but are not limited to, landscaping, specialized pavement or sidewalk treatments, decorative lighting, and other non-transportation component features. If a partnering agency requests an aesthetic feature on an ACRD project that is beyond ACHD's statutory funding authority, the partnering agency will be required to provide for 100% of the costs of the non-transportation component improvements including design, land acquisition, construction and perpetual maintenance. Adopted: 3109 - 3 Revised: Section 3109 -Interagency Cost Share Policy (CLEAN 5-19-09) (2~.DOCX 2. If a partnering agency elects to enhance a necessary transportation component of an ACRD project with an aesthetic feature, ACHD may provide a funding credit to the partnering agency that contributes towards the cost of the requested aesthetic feature under the following conditions: (1) the credit can only be applied toward enhancing a necessary transportation component and; (2) the aesthetic feature cannot diminish or eliminate the function of a transportation component; (3) the amount of the credit will not be greater than ACHD's avoided cost of the transportation component determined by ACHD; (4) the credit can only be applied on the same project; (5) credits will not be allowed for avoided costs associated with changes to number of travel lanes, lane widths or transportation components required for motorist or pedestrian safety. The terms of a credit will be specified in aproject-specific interagency cost share agreement. 3. The partnering agency shall be solely responsible to provide for the ordinary and necessary maintenance, repair and operation of any aesthetic features installed in the right-of-way in perpetuity. If the partnering agency fails to ensure maintenance of the aesthetic features, ACRD may, after reasonable efforts working the partnering agency to cure the default, as specified in the applicable interagency agreement, elect to remove and replace the aesthetic features with the handscape or other materials consistent with standard ACHD practice. All costs associated with aesthetic removal and replacement will be borne by the partnering agency. Failure of the partnering agency to ensure maintenance of aesthetic features may jeopardize the partnering agency's ability to secure cost sharing agreements on ACRD projects until defaults are corrected and ACHD's expenses associated with aesthetic feature removal and replacement have been fully reimbursed. 3109.4.2 Medians Medians can be provided for aesthetics. ACRD Development Policy, Transportation Research Board guidelines, and/or established engineering industry standards, will be used to determine the need for medians for access management and safety. 2. If a partnering agency requests medians that are not justified for traffic management based upon established engineering industry standards, then the requesting agency shall be required to provide 100% of the costs of the median, including, design, additional land acquisition, construction and maintenance. Adopted: 3109 - 4 Revised: Section 3109 -Interagency Cost Share Policy (CLEAN 5-19-09) (2). DOCX 3. ACRD is responsible for the cost of medians for traffic management which can be met with hardscaping. 4. A partnering agency is responsible for the installation and maintenance of aesthetic features in a median. 5. The decision to install aethestic medians will require public .involvement and applicable land use jurisdiction support. ACRD has sole discretion with regard to installation of medians. 3109.4.3 Pedestrian/Bicycle Facilities Communities may desire pedestrian/bicycle facilities that are beyond ACHD's Livable Street Design Guide or other cross-section policies . In the pedestrian area, ACHD shall provide a buffer space to meet ADA requirements as defined in the Livable Street Design Guide. ACHD will pay for right-of-way to provide a pedestrian safety buffer up to a total of 6' of buffer space, if a city or partnering agency agrees to provide or ensure installation and maintenance of landscaping in the applicable space. On certain roadways, larger pedestrian zones/features may be justified at ACHD's expense if it can be demonstrated that it is needed for pedestrian safety and otherwise complies with the public necessity requirements for eminent domain as set forth in the Idaho Constitution Art. I, § 13 and Idaho Code § 7-701 et seq. 2. If a partnering agency requests additional bicycle and pedestrian facilities that are beyond ACHD's Livable Street Design Guide or other cross-section polices, the agency is required to provide 100% of the costs for additional improvements, including design, land acquisition and construction. 3109.4.4 On-Street Parking ACHD shall fund the right-of-way, construction, and maintenance of on-street parking where appropriate on arterials for ACHD projects. On-street parking on collectors and local roads will come from dedications, consistent with existing ACHD policy. On-street parking for arterials will come from dedications when required as a condition of development approval. On-street parking must be approved by ACRD. 3109.4.5 Federally-Funded Projects Federal and State laws, rules and policies determine what level of non-transportation elements should be included in STP-TMA projects. Adopted: 3109 - 5 Revised: Section 3109 -Interagency Cost Share Policy (CLEAN 5-19-09) (2~.DOCX 2. The match paid by partnering agencies on a project that combines both transportation and non-transportation elements shall be proportionate to the share of the non- transportation elements of the project. 3. STP-Enhancement projects may require additional discussion and negotiation as non-transportation features are generally components of such projects. 3109.4.6 Mitigation Site specific mitigation may include specialized treatments such as sound walls, berms and other project components whose purpose is to mitigate traffic impacts within the project area. These requests stem from studies, project- specific outreach, planning efforts, and city requests. 2. Funding of mitigation, beyond that negotiated on a property by property basis during ACRD right-of-way acquisition process, will be handled on a case by case basis in consultation with partnering agencies during project development and with written approval of the Commission. 3109.5 Notice of Interest Partnering agencies should indicate possible interest in non-transportation elements during ACHD's annual request for jurisdiction priorities for the Five- Year Work Plan (FYWP). A partnering agency should indicate such interest in a letter to the ACRD Commission indicating project priorities. However, partnering agencies may indicate such interest at any time by a letter to the ACRD Commission, subject to the limitations in Section 3109.6 below. 3109.6 Project Development During project development, ACHD will provide interested partnering agencies the opportunity to identify desired aesthetic features and adopt an interagency cost share agreement. ACHD will develop the project consistent with the terms and conditions of an adopted interagency cost share agreement. General project timelines will be indicated in the FYWP. These timelines are subject to change through the annual update of the FYWP, project development and the budget. When the first project design phase is initiated, (concept design or design) ACRD will involve the partnering agencies who have indicated an interest in writing to identify and evaluate alternatives and determine desired aethestic/non-transportation features Adopted: 3109 - 6 Revised: Section 3109 -Interagency Cost Share Policy (CLEAN 5-19-09) (2). DOCX 2. ACHD establishes a detailed scope of work for the project design prior to initiating design work. Partnering agencies will be afforded the opportunity to review and comment on the scope of work for project design to ensure desired non- transportation features are included. 3. If an agency indicates interest in possible participation after a consultant design agreement has been signed, or requests changes to non-transportation features outside the current design scope of work, the partnering agency will be solely responsible for any additional design costs resulting from their request. 4. At the conclusion of concept design, and prior to initiating design, ACHD and the partnering agency shall enter into an interagency cost sharing agreement to outline cost share and other responsibilities for the project. Some projects proceed to design without a separate concept design phase. In these cases, ACHD and the partnering agency shall determine the desired features and enter into an interagency cost sharing agreement early in the design process. 5. If an agency declines to enter into an interagency cost sharing agreement, the project may be delayed, or project design may proceed without incorporating the partnering agencies' desired features. Any additional costs that result from a partnering agency declining to enter into an interagency cost sharing agreement, and later requesting additional features; shall be borne by the partnering agency. 6. Partnering agency requests after project design is complete will require full compensation from the partnering agency for design or other changes in the project. ACRD will work with the partnering agency to incorporate design features that are feasible, however not all requests, including those fully funded by the requesting agency, may be able to be accommodated due to site specific design constraints, status of land acquisition, the project schedule, and other feasibility issues. 3109.6.1 Acceleration of Project Construction Agencies may request project construction prior to ACHD adopted programming. 2. If a partnering agency supplements ACRD funding for the transportation elements of a project, ACHD awards the project points for non-ACHD funding in the prioritization of project ranking. Adopted: 3109 - 7 Revised: Section 3109 -Interagency Cost Share Policy (CLEAN 5-19-09) (2~.DOCX 3. If the partnering agency makes a project a top request of the agency, ACHD awards the project points for the partnering agency request in the prioritization of project ranking. Ahigh-ranking request is also considered during the annual Five-Year Work Plan and budget updates, with efforts made to accommodate the request within other funding and schedule considerations. 3109.6.2 Acceleration through Cooperative Projects The ACHD Commission may enter into cooperative agreements with developers to construct projects through public-private partnerships with funding arrangements negotiated on a case-by-case basis. 1. ACRD will use the adopted Master Street Map and seek local land use jurisdiction input to identify desired non- transportation features when a development agreement is proposed. 2. ACHD will notify the applicable land use jurisdiction of a proposed development agreement and the land use jurisdiction will have at least 30 days, from the date of notification of the proposed development agreement, to indicate their desire to become a partnering agency for non-transportation features. 3. Partnering agencies desiring non-transportation aesthetic features will have the opportunity to become a party to the cooperative agreement between ACRD and the developer. The partnering agency's cost share responsibilities for the aesthetic non-transportation features will be negotiated upon terms consistent with this cost share policy, and set forth in the cooperative development agreement. 4. Partnering agencies seeking cooperative projects for ACRD system improvements outside of the normal development review process shall contact ACRD to initiate discussion and case by case negotiation of appropriate cost share. 3109.7 Intergovernmental Agreement Pursuant to Idaho Code 67-2332, ACHD may enter into intergovernmental agreements with other public agencies for the purpose of performing any governmental service, activity, or undertaking which each public agency is authorized by law to perform. Proposed project timeframes, anticipated project completion dates, payment and/or reimbursement provisions, as well as other duties and obligations of the parties, shall be negotiated in terms and conditions that are consistent with this cost share policy and set forth in a written intergovernmental agreement. The agreement shall be adopted by both the ACHD Commission and the partnering agency's governing body. Adopted: 3109 - 8 Revised: Section 3109 -Interagency Cost Share Policy (CLEAN 5-19-09) (2). DocX 3109.8 Procedures for Participation Prior to Project Development Any agency requesting ACHD consideration shall follow the following procedure: 3109.8.1 Master Street Map and Future Acquisitions Map Partnering agencies may indicate their desire for additional right-of-way for non-transportation elements at any time by concurrent ACHD and applicable land use jurisdiction adoption of a right-of-way width to accommodate the desired elements in ACHD's Master Streets Map and the land use jurisdiction's Future Acquisitions Map. Such adoption indicates the partnering agency is willing to provide funding for the additional features consistent with this policy and any interagency agreements. If a partnering agency and ACRD agree on the features for a roadway during a planning effort (e.g. comprehensive plan update, subarea or corridor planning, etc) they will indicate their commitment to cost share by adopting an interagency agreement and will each adopt the appropriate right of way width into ACHD's Master Street Map and the land use jurisdiction's Future Acquisitions Map. 2. ACHD will seek financial participation from the partnering agency when development applications present an opportunity for early right-of-way acquisition. 3. If the partnering agency declines to participate in early right-of-way acquisition, ACHD will acquire right-of-way for the basic footprint, as defined in ACHD's Livable Street Design Guide or other cross-section policies. Partnering agencies will be provided a second opportunity to purchase, at the partnering agency's cost, additional right- of-way during the right-of-way phase of ACHD's capital projects development provided that ACHD and the partnering agency enter into an interagency cost sharing agreement during the design phase. 4. If ACHD enters into a cooperative development agreement for improvements in the public right-of-way, ACHD will include the additional right-of--way and desired aethestic features adopted in the Master Street Map. 3109.9 Projects for Economic Development and Land Use Goals 1. Projects of this nature typically evolve out of city area-specific planning efforts and include projects and initiatives beyond the transportation system needs and priorities identified by ACHD. Adopted: 3109 - 9 Revised: Section 3109 -Interagency Cost Share Policy (CLEAN 5-19-09) (2).DOCX 2. Funding expectations for such projects are to be clearly spelled out and resolved during the planning process prior to presenting the project to the Commission for adoption. 3109.10 Exceptions The Commission reserves the right to consider exceptions from this policy on a case-by-case basis and in accordance with Idaho law. 1. The Commission may approve roadway design features that differ from the standard policies by adopting a concept design that specifies the alternative features. 2. A partnering agency may propose an exception during negotiation of a project specific interagency agreement.
