A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF CENTRAL POINT ALLOWING THE CITY MANAGER
OR HIS DESIGNEE TO EXECUTE THE REVISED LOCAL AGENCY AGREEMENT WITH
ODOT FOR THE TWIN CREEKS CROSSING
Recitals:
A. In 2012 the City of Central Point was notified by the Oregon Department of
Transportation State Transportation Improvement Program that it had received
approval for a grant to construct the Twin Creeks Rail Crossing on Highway 99.
B. In 2014 the City and the developer, Twin Creeks Development LLC, entered into an
agreement obligating the developer to make a cash contribution towards the grant
match as well as physical improvements associated with the grant at that time.
C. The developer has completed two of the three physical improvements and is in the
process of completing the third. Additionally, the developer has paid its first
financial contribution of$125,000 toward the project. The next scheduled payment
is December of 2015.
D. The revised IGA reflects the physical improvements completed by the developer
reducing the grant amount to $3,457,515.
E. The state will contribute 77% of the project up to a maximum amount of$2,670,000.
The City and developer will contribute the remaining dollars of$787,515.
F. The City previously reached an agreement with the developer requiring the
developer to make a cash contribution totaling $500,000 for its share of the
crossing. With both of these agreements in place the City's contribution will be a
maximum of$287,515

Overruns.
4. If, at the time of Contract Award or Project Closeout, the Project Underruns the estimated
Total Project Cost in this Agreement, MTEP funding and Other Funds will be obligated
proportionally based on the Funding Ratio. Any unused MTEP funds, will be retained by
State, and will not be available for use by Agency for this Agreement or any other
projects.
5. Project Overruns which occur at the time of Contract Award, or at the time of Project
Closeout is the responsibility of the Agency.
6. Project decisions regarding design standards, design exceptions, utility relocation
expenses, right of way needs, preliminary engineering charges, construction engineering
charges, and Contract Change Orders as applicable shall be mutually agreed upon
between Agency and State, as these decisions may impact the Total Project Cost.

ATTACHMENT NO. 2
FEDERAL STANDARD PROVISIONS
PROJECT ADMINISTRATION
1. State (ODOT) is acting to fulfill its responsibility to the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) by
the administration of this Project, and Agency (i.e. county, city, unit of local government, or other
state agency) hereby agrees that State shall have full authority to carry out this administration. If
requested by Agency or if deemed necessary by State in order to meet its obligations to FHWA,
State will act for Agency in other matters pertaining to the Project. Prior to taking such action,
State will confer with Agency concerning actions necessary to meet federal obligations. Agency
shall, if necessary, appoint and direct the activities of a Citizen's Advisory Committee and/or
Technical Advisory Committee, conduct a hearing and recommend the preferred alternative. State
and Agency shall each assign a person in responsible charge "liaison" to coordinate activities and
assure that the interests of both Parties are considered during all phases of the Project.
2. Any project that uses federal funds in project development is subject to plans, specifications and
estimates (PS&E) review and approval by FHWA or State acting on behalf of FHWA prior to
advertisement for bid proposals, regardless of the source of funding for construction.
3. Non-certified agencies must contract with State or a State certified local public agency to secure
services to perform plans, specifications and estimates (PS&E), construction contract
advertisement, bid, award, contractor payments and contract administration. Non-certified
agencies may use a State-approved consultant to perform preliminary engineering, and
construction engineering services.
PROJECT FUNDING REQUEST
4. State shall submit a separate written Project funding request to FHWA requesting approval of
federal-aid participation for each project phase including a) Program Development (Planning),
b) Preliminary Engineering (National Environmental Policy Act - NEPA, Permitting and Project
Design), c) Right of Way Acquisition, d) Utilities, and e) Construction (Construction Advertising,
Bid and Award). Any work performed prior to FHWA's approval of each funding request will be
considered nonparticipating and paid for at Agency expense. Agency shall not proceed on any
activity in which federal-aid participation is desired until such written approval for each
corresponding phase is obtained by State. State shall notify Agency in writing when authorization
to proceed has been received from FHWA. All work and records of such work shall be in
conformance with FHWA rules and regulations.
FINANCE
5. Federal funds shall be applied toward Project costs at the current federal-aid matching ratio,
unless otherwise agreed and allowable by law. Agency shall be responsible for the entire match
amount for the federal funds and any portion of the Project, which is not covered by federal
funding, unless otherwise agreed to and specified in the intergovernmental Agreement (Project
Agreement). Agency must obtain written approval from State to use in-kind contributions rather
than cash to satisfy all or part of the matching funds requirement. If federal funds are used, State
will specify the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) number in the Project Agreement.
State will also determine and clearly state in the Project Agreement if recipient is a subrecipient or
vendor, using criteria in 2 CFR 200.330.
6. If the estimated cost exceeds the total matched federal funds available, Agency shall deposit its
share of the required matching funds, plus 100 percent of all costs in excess of the total matched
STDPRO-2015.doc
Rev. 05-154-2015 14
federal funds. Agency shall pay one hundred (100) percent of the cost of any item in which FHWA
will not participate. If Agency has not repaid any non-participating cost, future allocations of federal
funds or allocations of State Highway Trust Funds to Agency may be withheld to pay the
non-participating costs. If State approves processes, procedures, or contract administration
outside the Local Agency Guidelines Manual that result in items being declared non-participating
by FHWA, such items deemed non-participating will be negotiated between Agency and State.
7. Agency agrees that costs incurred by State and Agency for services performed in connection with
any phase of the Project shall be charged to the Project, unless otherwise mutually agreed upon
by the Parties.
8. Agency's estimated share and advance deposit.
a) Agency shall, prior to commencement of the preliminary engineering and/or right of
way acquisition phases, deposit with State its estimated share of each phase
Exception may be made in the case of projects where Agency has written approval
from State to use in-kind contributions rather than cash to satisfy all or part of the
matching funds requirement.
b) Agency's construction phase deposit shall be one hundred ten (110) percent of
Agency's share of the engineer's estimate and shall be received prior to award of
the construction contract. Any additional balance of the deposit, based on the
actual bid must be received within forty-five (45) days of receipt of written
notification by State of the final amount due, unless the contract is cancelled. Any
balance of a cash deposit in excess of amount needed, based on the actual bid, will

written request.
c) Pursuant to Oregon Revised Statutes (ORS) 366.425, the advance deposit may be
in the form of 1) money deposited in the State Treasury (an option where a deposit
is made in the Local Government Investment Pool), and an Irrevocable Limited
Power of Attorney is sent to State's Active Transportation Section, Funding and
