For Meeting of: November 21, 2017 Resolution authorizing a Grant Agreement with Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) to provide funding assistance for 20 new Fixed -Route Transit Bus Shelters Alvie Maxey, Transit Manager, 576-6415 Scott Schafer, Public Works Director SUMMARY EXPLANATION: Grant Agreement GCB2846 with WSDOT is to fund the purchase and installation of 20 ADA - accessible solar -lighted fixed -route bus shelters. Yakima Transit has 629 bus stops of which 205 are only benches and 32 are bus shelters. Bus shelters protect our passengers from the elements (wind, rain, snow, and sun) and also provide our customers with Transit informational items and schedules. The proposed bus shelters will be ADA accessible with lighting provided through solar -power. Because Yakima Transit operates year round bus service from 6am — 7pm, there are times in which insufficient lighting exists; particularly early mornings and evenings. The lighted bus shelters will improve visibility of passengers to our drivers; while providing a safe area for our passengers while utilizing Yakima Transit. The total project cost is $190,000 for the purchase and installation of 20 ADA- accessible solar - lighted fixed -route bus shelters. Grant Agreement GCB2846 with WSDOT is in the amount of $152,000. Yakima Transit will be responsible for the remaining $38,000 which has been budgeted. Grant Agreement GCB2846 is attached for City Council review.

Section 33 Termination A. Termination for Convenience. WSDOT and/or the CONTRACTOR may suspend or terminate this AGREEMENT, in whole or in part, and all or any part of the financial assistance provided herein, at any time by written notice to the other PARTY. WSDOT and the CONTRACTOR shall agree upon the AGREEMENT termination provisions including but not limited to the settlement terms, conditions, and in the case of partial termination the portion to be terminated. Written notification must set forth the reasons for such termination, the effective date, and in case of a partial termination the portion to be terminated. However, if, in the case of partial termination, WSDOT determines that the remaining portion of the award will not accomplish the purposes for which the award was made, WSDOT may terminate the award in its entirety. PARTIES may terminate this AGREEMENT for convenience for reasons including, but not limited to, the following: 1. The requisite funding becomes unavailable through failure of appropriation or otherwise; 2. WSDOT determines, in its sole discretion, that the continuation of the Project would not produce beneficial results commensurate with the further expenditure of funds; 3. The CONTRACTOR is prevented from proceeding with the Project as a direct result of an Executive Order of the President with respect to the prosecution of war or in the interest of national defense; or an Executive Order of the President or Governor of the State with respect to the preservation of energy resources; 4. The CONTRACTOR is prevented from proceeding with the Project by reason of a temporary preliminary, special, or permanent restraining order or injunction of a court of competent jurisdiction where the issuance of such order or injunction is primarily caused by the acts or omissions of persons or agencies other than the CONTRACTOR; or 5. The State Government or WSDOT determines that the purposes of the statute authorizing the Project would not be adequately served by the continuation of financial assistance for the Project. 6. In the case of termination for convenience under subsections A.1-5 above, WSDOT shall reimburse the CONTRACTOR for all costs payable under this AGREEMENT that the CONTRACTOR properly incurred prior to termination. The CONTRACTOR shall promptly submit its claim for reimbursement to WSDOT. If the CONTRACTOR has any property in its possession belonging to WSDOT, the CONTRACTOR will account for the same, and dispose of it in the manner WSDOT directs. B. Termination for Default. WSDOT may suspend or terminate this AGREEMENT for default, in whole or in part, and all or any part of the financial assistance provided herein, at any time by written notice to the CONTRACTOR, if the CONTRACTOR materially breaches or fails to perform any of the requirements of this AGREEMENT, including: 1. Take any action pertaining to this AGREEMENT without the approval of WSDOT, which under the procedures of this AGREEMENT would have required the approval of WSDOT; 2. Jeopardizes its ability to perform pursuant to this AGREEMENT, United States of America laws, Washington state laws, or local governmental laws under which the CONTRACTOR operates; 3. Failure to perform the Project or any part thereof including, but not limited to: a) Failure to build the Project according to the design specifications and all building code required standards; GCB2846 Page 9 of 13 13 b) Failure to remedy all defects in the performance of the Project and correct all faulty workmanship by the CONTRACTOR or its subcontractors in a timely manner; c) Failure to take any action which could affect the ability of the Project to perform its designated function or takes any action which could shorten its useful life for Project use or otherwise; or d) Failure to make reasonable and appropriate use of the Project real property, facilities, equipment and/or infrastructure. 4. Fails to make reasonable progress on the Project or other violation of this AGREEMENT that endangers substantial performance of the Project; or 5. Fails to perform in the manner called for in this AGREEMENT, or fails, to comply with or, is in violation of, any provision of this AGREEMENT. WSDOT shall serve a notice of termination on the CONTRACTOR setting forth the manner in which the CONTRACTOR is in default hereunder. If it is later determined by WSDOT that the CONTRACTOR had an excusable reason for not performing, such as events which are not the fault of or are beyond the control of the CONTRACTOR, such as a strike, fire or flood, WSDOT may: a) allow the CONTRACTOR to continue work after setting up a new delivery of performance schedule, or b) treat the termination as a termination for convenience. C. WSDOT, in its sole discretion may, in the case of a termination for breach or default, allow the CONTRACTOR ten (10) business days, or such longer period as determined by WSDOT, in which to cure the defect. In such case, the notice of termination will state the time period in which cure is permitted and other appropriate conditions. If the CONTRACTOR fails to remedy to WSDOT's satisfaction the breach or default within the timeframe and under the conditions set forth in the notice of termination, WSDOT shall have the right to terminate this AGREEMENT without any further obligation to CONTRACTOR. Any such termination for default shall not in any way operate to preclude WSDOT from also pursuing all available remedies against CONTRACTOR and its sureties for said breach or default. D. In the event that WSDOT elects to waive its remedies for any breach by CONTRACTOR of any covenant, term or condition of this AGREEMENT, such waiver by WSDOT shall not limit WSDOT's remedies for any succeeding breach of that or of any other term, covenant, or condition of this AGREEMENT. Section 34 Venue and Process In the event that either PARTY deems it necessary to institute legal action or proceedings to enforce any right or obligation under this AGREEMENT, the PARTIES hereto agree that any such action shall be initiated in the Superior Court of the State of Washington situated in Thurston County. The PARTIES agree that the laws of the State of Washington shall apply. Section 35 Changed Conditions Affecting Performance The CONTRACTOR hereby agrees to immediately notify WSDOT in writing of any change in conditions or law, or of any other event, including any current or prospective dispute, which may adversely affect WSDOT's interest in the Project or affect CONTRACTOR's ability to perform the Project in accordance with the provisions of this AGREEMENT. Section 36 Subrogation A. Prior to Subrogation. WSDOT may require the CONTRACTOR to take such action as may be necessary or appropriate to preserve the CONTRACTOR's right to recover damages from any person or organization alleged to be legally responsible for injury to the Project or other property in which WSDOT has a financial interest. B. Subrogation. WSDOT may require the CONTRACTOR to assign to WSDOT all right of recovery against any person or organization for loss, to the extent of WSDOT's loss. Upon assignment, the CONTRACTOR shall execute, deliver, and do whatever else necessary to secure WSDOT's rights. The CONTRACTOR shall do nothing after any loss to prejudice the rights of WSDOT. C. Duties of the Contractor. If WSDOT has exercised its right of subrogation, the CONTRACTOR shall cooperate with WSDOT and, upon WSDOT's request, assist in the prosecution of suits and enforce any right against any person or organization who may be liable to WSDOT due to damage to the Project. The CONTRACTOR shall attend hearings and trials as requested by WSDOT, assist in securing and giving evidence as requested by WSDOT, and obtain the attendance of witnesses as requested by WSDOT. GCB2846 Page 10 of 13 14 Section 37 Severability If any covenant or provision of this AGREEMENT shall be adjudged void, such adjudication shall not affect the validity or obligation of performance of any other covenant or provision, or any part thereof, which in itself is valid if such remainder conforms to the terms and requirements of applicable law and the intent of this AGREEMENT. No controversy concerning any covenant or provision shall delay the performance of any other covenant or provision except as herein allowed.
