A 1 aM Page A8 of 8 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.
