RECITALS
A. The State Board of the Great Outdoors Colorado Trust Fund (referred to herein as
"GOCO" or the "Board ") is a political subdivision of the State of Colorado, created by Article
XXVII of the Colorado Constitution, adopted at the November 1992 General Election, which
article appropriates a portion of the net proceeds of the Colorado Lottery to the Board and directs
the Board to invest those proceeds in the State's parks, wildlife, open space and recreational
resources.
B. In 1994, the Board created a statewide grant program, pursuant to which eligible
entities could apply for grants for local government parks and outdoor recreation projects to
which Grantee responded with a detailed application (the "Project Application ").
C. Grantee submitted a Project Application to the Board which contemplates the
execution of the project entitled and described above (the "Project "). The parties acknowledge
that they have on file a complete copy of the Project Application.
D. The Board approved Grantee's Project Application on December 8, 2010, subject
to the execution of a detailed grant agreement, and subject to the terms and conditions set forth
herein. The parties intend this agreement to be the detailed final grant agreement required by the
Board (the "Agreement ").
AGREEMENT
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the parties' mutual covenants contained herein
and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby
acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1. Incorporation of Recitals. The Recitals set forth above are hereby incorporated into the
terms of this Agreement.
2. Representations and Warranties of Grantee.
a. Grantee is a Municipality, duly organized in accordance with the laws of Colorado and
has full and lawful authority to enter into, and comply with the terms of, this Agreement.
b. Grantee's governing body has authorized entering into this Agreement as evidenced by
the resolution attached hereto as Appendix A.
C. Grantee warrants that it has good and sufficient title to the property or properties on
which the Project is to be located (the "Property "). GOCO may require Grantee to provide
evidence of its ownership of the Property and encumbrances against the Property satisfactory to
GOCO in GOCO's discretion prior to funding.
3. Grant and Project. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, the
Board hereby awards to Grantee a sum not to exceed $497,000.00 (the "Grant "). The Grant shall
be used by Grantee solely to complete the Project, in substantial conformity with the final plans,
specifications, designs and uses approved by the Board.
4. Project Scope. Grantee shall not materially modify the Project or the Project budget
(attached hereto as Appendix B, the "Budget ") without the prior written approval of the
Executive Director of GOCO ( "Executive Director ") or the Executive Director's designee, such
approval to be in GOCO's sole discretion. Any material modification to the Project undertaken
without GOCO's prior written consent may be deemed a breach of this Agreement by GOCO,
entitling GOCO to all remedies available under this Agreement. If Grantee determines with
reasonable probability that the Project will not or cannot be completed as reflected in the Project
Application, Grantee will promptly so advise the Board, and cooperate in good faith to seek a
resolution before any further funds are advanced.
5. Grantee Efforts. Grantee shall complete the Project in a timely fashion, in a good and
workmanlike manner, and consistent with this Agreement and GOCO's approvals related to the
Project.
6. Completion Date. Grantee shall complete the Project and submit its Final Report no
later than December 8, 2013 (the "Completion Date ") which is three calendar years after the
Board's approval of the Project. Grantee may request an extension of the Completion Date in
compliance with GOCO's Overdue Grants Policy, a summary of which is attached as Appendix
C ( "Overdue Grants Policy "). If Grantee determines with reasonable probability that the Project
will not or cannot be completed by the Completion Date or any extended completion date,
Grantee will promptly so advise the Board, and cooperate in good faith to seek a resolution
before any further funds are advanced.
7. Matching Funds. Grantee shall obtain the matching cash and in -kind contributions for
the Project as reflected in the Budget and as required by GOCO policy, and shall provide such
evidence of the same as GOCO may require in its discretion from time -to -time.
8. Disbursement of Funds.
a. Advance Payment: If Grantee opts to receive a portion of the Grant funds prior to
beginning work on the Project (an "Advance Payment "), Grantee shall provide GOCO with a
copy of the fully- executed contract or contracts under which a substantial portion of the Project
will be completed. Such contract or contracts shall show the work and the cost of the work to be
completed. GOCO may, in its discretion, request additional documentation to support making an
Advance Payment. An Advance Payment for Local Park and Outdoor Recreation Grants shall
not exceed 70% of the funds contracted for the Project or 50% of the Grant, whichever is less.
An Advance Payment for Mini Grants shall not exceed 75% of the funds contracted for the
Project or 50% of the Grant, whichever is less. An Advance Payment shall be considered a loan
until the Project is complete and Final Payment (as defined below) has been made. If Grantee
opts to receive an Advance Payment, it may not receive a Progress Payment (as defined below).
b. Progress Payment: If Grantee has opted to forego an Advance Payment and has opted to
receive a portion of the Grant funds after starting but prior to completing work on the Project (a
"Progress Payment "), Grantee shall provide GOCO with a progress report detailing expenditures
and progress made to date ( "Progress Report"). The Progress Report must be submitted using
GOCO's Progress Report form (available at www.goco.org or by contacting GOCO). GOCO
may, in its discretion, request additional documentation to support making a Progress Payment.
A Progress Payment for Local Park and Outdoor Recreation Grants shall not exceed 70% of the
funds expended to date for the Project or 50% of the Grant, whichever is less. A Progress
Payment for Mini Grants shall not exceed 75% of the funds expended to date for the Project or
50% of the Grant, whichever is less. A Progress Payment shall be considered a loan until the
Project is complete and Final Payment (as defined below) has been made. If Grantee received an
Advance Payment, it may not receive a Progress Payment.
C. Final Payment: Once the Project is complete, Grantee shall submit a final report to
GOCO detailing the accomplishments of and expenditures related to the Project (the "Final
Report"). The Project is "complete" when all facilities, trails or other improvements included in
the Project have been built and are ready for their intended use. The Final Report must be
submitted using GOCO's Final Report form (available at www. Jog co.org or by contacting
GOCO). GOCO may, in its discretion, request additional documentation before its approval of
the contents of the Final Report. Upon GOCO's review and approval of the Final Report, GOCO
shall pay the outstanding balance on the Grant (the "Final Payment "), subject to any reductions
contemplated by any provision of this Agreement.
9. Conditions for Disbursement of Funds. Except as provided in Paragraph 10 below, the
Grant is subject to the following requirements and conditions.
a. The Grant and all matching funds shall be used only for the cost of fixed assets, including
construction of new facilities, and enlargement or renovation of existing facilities. The Grant
and all matching funds may not be used to pay for maintenance costs, administrative costs (such
as salaries associated with administering the Grant, office supplies, telephone, or travel
expenses), non -fixed assets (such as athletic or maintenance equipment), or any other costs
deemed to be ineligible by the Board, at the Board's sole discretion. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, matching funds may include up to 50% of the total design, engineering and/or
architectural costs.
b. Disbursement of Grant funds shall be made on the basis of costs actually incurred by
Grantee and supported by written documentation (receipts, bills, etc.). GOCO.may, in its
discretion, depending on the nature of the Project, require documentation of mechanics lien
waivers or waivers of claims to public project performance bonds as a precondition to any
disbursement under this Agreement.
C. Except as otherwise agreed to in advance by GOCO in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement, no material modifications may be made to the Project. Material modifications to the
Project to which GOCO has not agreed may result in a reduction in the Grant. "Material
modifications" may include, but are not necessarily limited to, a reduction in the total cost of the
Project, a reduction in the size or number of recreational development components to be
constructed, changes to the nature of the recreational development components to be constructed,
or any other variance from the Project as presented in the Project Application. It is the sole
responsibility of Grantee to inform GOCO of any such modifications to the Project. GOCO
strongly encourages Grantee to contact GOCO in writing when it becomes aware of or wishes to
make any such modifications, however seemingly minor, to the Project.
10. Waiver. The Executive Director or the Executive Director's designee may in such
person's discretion, waive or agree to modify one or more of the obligations in sections 8, 9, and
16 of the Agreement, or may permit performance of one or more of such obligations subsequent
to disbursement.
11. Payment of Grant Subject to Sufficient Net Lottery Proceeds. Payment of the Grant
is subject to GOCO's determination in its sole discretion that it has received and has available
sufficient net lottery proceeds to fund the Grant. In determining the sufficiency of net lottery
proceeds, GOCO may consider all facts and circumstances as it deems necessary or desirable in
4
its discretion, including, but not limited to, adequate reserves, funding requirements and /or
commitments for other past, current and future grants, and past, current and future GOCO
operating expenses and budgetary needs.

Grantee under Paragraph 21, below.
C. GOCO shall not be liable for any cost of maintenance, management or operation of the
Project.

reasonable public access to the Project for the term specified in Section 12. Grantee may
temporarily close such public access for construction, maintenance, emergency situations, or
other reasonable purposes.

Grantee hereby assumes responsibility for compliance with all regulatory requirements in all
applicable areas, including but not limited to nondiscrimination, worker safety, local labor

contractors, subcontractors and agents shall not unlawfully discriminate against any employee or
applicant for employment because of race, religion, color, national origin, ancestry, physical
handicap, medical condition, marital status, age or sex, or any other basis prohibited by local,
state or federal law. Grantee and its contractors shall ensure that the evaluation and treatment of
their employees and applicants for employment are free of such discrimination. Further, during

engage in any unlawful discrimination in permitting access and use of the Project.

and records relating to the use, management, and operation of the Project. The accounts,

part, the Grant and/or terminate this Agreement, and /or seek a refund of payments already made

SUMMARY OF
OVERDUE GRANTS POLICY
(For information only -
GOCO's full Overdue Grants Policy
can be found at www.goco.org)
• •' r•
Summary of Great Outdoors Colorado Overdue Grants Policy
See www.goco.org or call 303- 226 -4500
for a complete copy of the Overdue Grants Policy
Grant is current and the original due date is applicable.
GOCO Staff ( "Staff') will send a letter to the Grantee within 60 days of the project's
anticipated due date to remind Grantee that the final report will soon be due. This letter
will also remind the Grantee of GOCO's policy for project modifications and project
extensions.
Failure to complete the project by the original due date, or by any extended due dates
authorized by GOCO as discussed below, may result in the de- authorization of the grant by
the GOCO Board ( "Board "). Also, failure to complete the project by the applicable due
date may result in the applicant being suspended from applying in pending or future grant
cycles.
Grant is current and the original due date is applicable, but the grantee needs to
request an extension.
If the Grantee needs to extend the original due date of the current project, the Grantee must
notify GOCO immediately by submitting a written request to the Executive Director of
GOCO ( "Executive Director ") that outlines the specific need for the extension, known as a
Request for a Staff Extension. Staff extensions do not exceed 90 days. GOCO Staff have
the discretion to grant one 90 -day extension if the request is deemed reasonable and
warranted. Staff will notify the Grantee in writing of the decision to grant or deny the
request for a staff extension.
Failure to submit the Request for a Staff Extension to the Executive Director 30 days prior
to the original due date may result in the de- authorization of the grant by the Board.
If the Grantee needs an extension of more than 90 days, the Grantee shall forgo the staff
extension and apply for a Board extension as discussed below.
Grant is current and the Grantee has already received a staff extension and desires
further extension by the Board, OR the Grantee elects to forgo the staff extension in
favor of seeking a Board extension.
If the Grantee needs an extension in addition to the staff extension, or has elected to forgo
the staff extension, the Grantee must notify GOCO immediately by submitting a written
request to the Executive Director that outlines the specific need for the extension, known
as a Request for a Board Extension. The Grantee's Request for a Board Extension will be
considered by the Board at its next scheduled meeting. The Board has the sole discretion to
grant or deny the requested extension. The grant will not be considered overdue while the
request for extension is pending.
Failure to submit the Request for a Board Extension to the Executive Director 30 days
prior to the original due date or staff extended due date may result in the de- authorization
of the grant by the Board.
Grant is overdue; the original due date or extended due date has passed.
If the Grantee has not fulfilled the requirements of the GOCO grant award, and has not
completed the project by the original due date set forth in the Grant Agreement or by any
extended date(s) as approved by GOCO, staff will send a De- authorization Warning letter
to the Grantee no later than 60 days after the applicable due date has passed.
The De- authorization Warning letter will state that the grant shall be presented to the
Board for de- authorization or other appropriate action at the next scheduled Board
meeting. The Grantee must respond to the De- authorization Warning letter at least 14 days
prior to that Board meeting. The Board has the sole discretion to de- authorize the grant,
extend the due date or take any other action it deems appropriate, including but not limited
to modifying the terms and conditions of the grant award. Staff will notify the Grantee in
writing of the Board's decision. If an extension is not granted, a written Notice of Re-
authorization will be sent to the Grantee.
Failure to respond to the De- authorization Warning letter will result in an automatic de-
authorization of the grant and will result in the applicant being suspended from applying in
pending or future grant cycles.
