RECITALS
WHEREAS, Avon and ECO have a multi -year history of cooperation and co- sharing of capital
facilities for transit service; and,
WHEREAS, Avon and ECO staff have been working collaboratively during 2007 and 2008 to

located at 500 Swift Gulch Road, Avon Colorado for the benefit of both Avon and ECO transit
system users; and,
WHEREAS, Avon and ECO have jointly submitted requests for grant funding from the State of
Colorado, the Federal Transit Administration, and from the 2009 Economic Stimulus Program
for possible award during the period 2009 -2013 for this capital project entitled "ECO /Avon
Joint Regional Operations Facility"; and
WHEREAS, Avon and ECO staff formed a joint selection committee in spring 2008 and
competitively selected a professional services design consulting team (e.g., CDM, Inc. is the
prime consultant) with appropriate expertise to conduct the preliminary design, design

management which is anticipated to be necessary to implement this capital project, and thereafter
Avon retained the services of aforementioned consultant through authorization of a professional
services contract which remains valid today; and,
WHEREAS, Avon and ECO desire to phase both the design and construction portions -of this
capital project to accommodate financial constraints, constraints on administration staff time, and
disruption to existing operations; and,
WHEREAS, Avon incurred project - related consulting expenses totaling about $528,000.00
during 2008 for the first portion of professional services work (e.g., initial schematic design,
geotechnical investigation, and preliminary environmental review — select deliverables of which
are provided in Exhibit A for reference); and,
WHEREAS, state and federal officials have verbally told County and Town staff in early 2009
that this project stands a high probability of receiving a significant portion of the total project

obligate such grant funds within 180 days of notice of award and that the project partners should
now consider formalizing their partnership; and,
WHEREAS, Avon intends to issue Amendment No. 1 to the aforementioned professional
services contract to authorize the next portion of engineering work for the ECO /Avon Joint
Regional Operations Facility to be performed during 2009 (e.g., design development, local

grant funding awards, identify need for temporary facilities, prepare estimates of probable cost,
prepare additional environmental details, assess LEED certification merits, and prepare select
2009 ECO /Avon Joint Regional Operations Facility Design IGA
construction drawings or details) and expects to incur additional project related consulting
expenses up to approximately $500,000; and,
WHEREAS, Avon and ECO desire to continue to jointly plan this capital project to include
sufficient land space and building facilities to accommodate Avon's full build out needs as well
as ECO's long -term needs for an "up- valley" satellite operations facility and to split pro -rata the
cost for both design and construction of the ECO /Avon Joint Regional Operations Facility in
proportion to the benefits received;

Memo
To: Avon Town Council
Thru: Larry Brooks, Town Manager
From: Jennifer Strehler, P.E., Director of Public Works
Date: February 10, 2009
Re: Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) with Eagle County to Support Planning and
Design of the ECO /Avon Joint Regional Transit Operations Facility
Summary: Council approval is requested for the proposed Intergovernmental Agreement with
Eagle County. This IGA establishes the obligations of the Town and the County to work together to
plan and design the ECO /Avon Joint Regional Transit Operations Facility to be located on the town's
Swift Gulch property and it commits the County to contribute up to 28% of the outside services costs
through the design development (DD) phase, up to $284,000, as a reimbursement to the town. The
IGA and associated exhibits are attached. These documents have been reviewed by the Town
Attorney and the County Attorney. The Board of County Commissioners are scheduled to approve
this same IGA on this date, February 10, 2009.
The town's intent to amend the existing design services contract to allow completion of work through
the DD phase is submitted to Town Council as a separate action. (see next memo in packet).
Previous Council Actions:
• Presentation of Options for Use of Swift Gulch and Village Site from Master Plan Information
(August 28, 2007)
• Award of the Design Contract to Camp Dresser and McKee, Inc. funding authorized for
Conceptual Design Phase work only (April 8, 2008)
• Staff update on the schematic design (June 10, 2008)
• P &Z Meeting and Site Tour (June 17, 2008)
• CIP Budget approved including $1,200,000 for design work (less $522,000 revenue from the
County) for project #13009 in 2009 (November 2008)
• Work session discussing grant funding (January 27, 2009)
Discussion:
The town is planning to construct facilities at the town -owned Swift Gulch Site. The first and largest
phase of construction involves creation of a regional transit operations hub, where facilities would be
shared by Avon Transit and ECO Transit. This partnership allows both parties to achieve an
economy of scale and opportunities for grant funding, which would not otherwise be available if each
party pursued construction of separate transit facilities in the Vail Valley. This capital project is
referred to as the "ECO /Avon Joint Regional Transit Operations Facility'. It has been deemed
eligible for state and federal grant funds. To remain eligible for grant awards, the project must make
substantial progress in design development and preparation of procurement documents in early
2009.
The IGA acknowledges the Parties commitment to work together and contribute support (both in
technical review as well as financially) to the project. Although this IGA (and the related professional
services work to be accomplished under administration by the town) is critically needed at this time
so that the project remains eligible for state and federal grant funding, it should be noted that the
commitment to partnership and the associated consultant - produced deliverables will be valuable to
Page 1
both parties regardless of when grants are actually awarded and construction is initiated on this
project.
Financial Implications:
The IGA documents the County's commitment to reimburse the Town for up to 28% of the
costs for planning work through design development (DD), up to $284,000. The first invoice to
the County will be for $144,000, which is their portion of the planning and design work done in
2008. The remaining invoices from the Town to the County will be prepared based on 28% of
the previous month's costs for outside services pertaining to this project for work in FY2009.
This percentage (28 %) was determined from preliminary information based on the relative
portion of space constructed in the phase 1 improvements to Swift Gulch that ECO Transit may
elect to occupy on the site over the life of the new facilities. During the DD phase, more
accurate estimates of square footage, cost, usage, federal grant and local match, and
construction schedule will be determined that will allow for preparation of a more accurate
estimate of Eagle County's cost burden for final design and construction.
Regarding the town's adopted budget - The FY2009 CIP budget currently includes $1,200,000 for
design development and production of construction drawings (CDs) with a County contribution of
$522,000 (for a net town cost of $678,000 budgeted in FY2009). However, we are only authorizing
DD at this time (and not production of CDs) with an associated FY2009 expenditure of $341,000 for
this work. (Please see Council Memo entitled "Avon Public Works & Transportation Facilities —
Design Services Contract Amendment' for more information about the design services contract).
Thus, we have only asked the County to contribute up to $284,000 in FY2009 as their portion of the
costs from planning through the DD phase. Staff does not recommend amending the town's
FY2009 CIP budget for this project at this time because additional project work will be necessary
if /when grant funds are awarded to this project. If this happens in 2009, then additional professional
services support will be needed and amendments would be necessary to both the consulting
contract and to the IGA with the County. Thus, staff believes it would be better for the Council to
wait until mid -year to amend the town's CIP budget for this project.
Recommendation: Staff recommends approval of the IGA with Eagle County.
Proposed Motion: Move to approve the IGA with Eagle County and authorize the Mayor to sign the
same.
