Duration. This Agreement shall be in full force and effect, once executed by all parties, for a period of 18 months. Any party to this Agreement may terminate its participation by providing written notice to all other parties any time before 90 days prior to the expiration of the initial 18 month term. 2. Organization and Composition. No separate legal entity is hereby created. An informal administrative entity is created, consisting of one or more representatives from each of the parties to this Agreement. A joint board responsible for administering the administrative entity shall be established consisting initially of the Tukwila City Engineer or his designee, the Kent Traffic Engineer or his designee, the Renton Transportation Director or his designee, the King County Traffic Engineer or his designee, and the WSDOT District No. 1 Traffic Engineer or his designee. Each of these joint administrative board members shall be entitled to one vote on any matter put to a vote. Full Committee consensus will be required for grant applications and acceptance, distribution of grant resources, technical issues, and similar multijurisdictional signal coordination issues. No commitments of money can be made beyond those stated in this agreement. In addition to the voting joint administrators referenced above, the joint board shall be advised by other necessary or proper persons, including but not limited to representatives from Federal Highway Administration, Metro, and the Puget Sound Regional Council. Auburn, SeaTac and Federal Way will be advisors and possible future administrators. 3. Purpose. The purpose of this Agreement is to provide coordinated traffic signals throughout the Green River Valley. The Green River Valley is the area approximately bounded by SR-515 on the east, SR-516 on the south, SR- 99 on the west, and I-405 on the north. There are two phases. Phase 1 work items are a, b, c and d. Phase 2 work items are a and f. Administrative items are g through k. Phase 1 work is the initial information compilation for grant application. Phase 1 signal coordination will start with Interurban/W Valley Road (SR 181) between Southcenter Boulevard and SR 516 and with South 180th Street/SW 43rd Street between Southcenter Parkway and SR 515. Additional signals may be coordinated in the future. The Phase 2 work is foreseen as "PS&E" work to implement signal coordination which includes items a and f. Phase 2 will begin after the completion of Phase 1 and after monies have been committed to the project by grant agencies. Phase 2 will begin when a supplemental agreement is made to this agreement and is approved by the participating agencies. These purposes may be achieved by one or more items including but not limited to the following: a. Phase 1 would be the "seed work" including conducting "before" studies, quantifying congestion, potential air quality improvements, INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT - Page 1 GC9627 travel speeds, pollution emissions and fuel consumption; predicting changes in the travel speeds, pollutants and fuel consumption that could be made by making signal coordination improvements and predicting how potential benefits such as reduced vehicular emissions and fuel consumption could be applied to other major arterials in the central Puget Sound region; b. Identifying funding sources for the improvements, including competing for federal "ISTEA" funds; preparation of a TIA grant for a multijurisdictional signal coordination project that would provide interconnect, timing plans, timing plan implementation, evaluation and adjustments; C. Preparing agendas, meeting minutes, and providing the coordination work between FHWA, WSDOT, King County, Tukwila, Renton, Kent, Metro, and others as appropriate; d. Providing Phase 1 reports to each of the Parties as follows: METRO (3) , FHWA (3) , PSRC (3) , TIA (5) , King County (5), Renton (5), Kent (5) WSDOT Headquarters (5) ; and Tukwila (5) , Auburn (2) , SeaTac (2) and Federal Way (2) . Phase 2 work is foreseen as grant funded work: e. Preparing interconnect wiring and timing plans, identifying coordination parameters of existing timing, and future timing plans for a fully coordinated system; f. Preparing cost estimates for hardware needs, interconnect needs, timing plan preparation for weekday peaks and off peaks and Sundays, Saturday plans, and special events such as major shopping, snow, or other such incidents, and investigating the need for the alternative of a master controller or coordination between master controllers, and for timing implementation; Administrative items include: g. The Green River Valley Signal Coordination Committee will approve Phase 1 and Phase 2 scope of work. Members of the Committee will provide information to their jurisdictions and obtain appropriate approvals; h. The Green River Valley Signal Coordination Committee will approve any Phase 2 construction contract scope of work and a supplemental agreement is required for any Phase 2 work. i. The City of Tukwila will be the lead agency and is authorized to enter a contract and direct the selected consultant or other contractors in accord with committee consensus on the scope of work, to accept the work as complete with committee consensus, and to make progress payment(s) to the selected consultant or other contractors. Funds for the work will be paid to Tukwila for the work and set in a special account for Green River Valley signal coordination work as provided in paragraph 4, below; and j. The Green River Valley Signal Coordination Committee will elect a chairperson from the voting representatives set forth in paragraph 2. k. Any unspent funds will be returned to the contributing party in proportion to their funding contribution for Phase 1. Funds from a contributing party will not be returned to a party terminating Phase 1 after the selected consultant is contracted. Any Phase 2 funding will follow the same method unless the agreement is amended. INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT - Page 2 GC962 7 1. CFR 48 shall be incorporated in any consultant agreement that may have federal participation. 4. The joint administrative board shall establish a special account with the Finance Director of the City of Tukwila. This fund shall be designated "Operating Account of the Green River Valley Signal Coordination Plan Joint Board". Each party to this Agreement will provide $6,500 for the Phase 1 study and grant application, with the exception of Kent, who will provide information of their signal evaluation study and provide peak hour turning movement counts, and other related information as "in-kind" contribution. 5. Indemnification and Hold Harmless. Each party to this Agreement agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the other parties for and against all claims or damages of any type, including reasonable attorneys fees, arising out of any act or omission of such indemnifying party. To the extent fault is attributable to more than one party hereto, the obligation to indemnify and hold harmless shall extend only to the extent of such fault. 6. This Agreement may be modified by: a. District Administrator as to WSDOT elements and future additions; and/or b. King County Public Works Director as to King County elements and future additions, as to when the elements and future addition would be defined in a multijurisdictional memorandum of understanding for signal coordination work. 7.
