ITEM TITLE:
Resolution authorizing a grant agreement with the
Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) to
allow Yakima Transit to expand and resurface the Firing
Center Park & Ride.
SUBMITTED BY: Scott Schafer, Public Works Director, 576-6411
Alvie Maxey, Acting Transit Division Manager
SUMMARY EXPLANATION:
Due to continued success of the Yakima -Ellensburg Commuter Service, Yakima Transit applied
for grant funding in 2012 to expand and resurface the Firing Center Park & Ride. The funds
were awarded June 2013. The grant agreement in the amount of $240,000 required a 20%
match and since the property is owned and controlled by WSDOT and Yakima County, their
contribution of $60,400 in land will be used as matching funds for this grant. The total cost of the
project is $302,000.
The expansion of the Park & Ride lot will provide added parking for passengers using the
Yakima -Ellensburg Commuter, carpooling, or using Yakima Transit's fixed -route bus system as
it connects through the City of Selah. Because the property is owned by Yakima County and
WSDOT and controlled & maintained by WSDOT, WSDOT will be contracted with to do the
design and construction of the park & ride expansion and resurfacing. There is no cost to the
City of Yakima for the proposed project. The City of Yakima will receive up to $10,000 for costs
related to administering the grant.
Grant Agreement GCB1512 is in the amount of $240,000 (see attached agreement).
Interlocal Agreement GCB 1725 Design and Construction Lot Improvement in the amount, not
to exceed, $230,000 (see attached agreement).

Section 33
Termination
A. Termination for Convenience. WSDOT and/or the CONTRACTOR may suspend or terminate this

GCB1512 Page 8 of 13
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. Takes 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;
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.
GCB1512 Page 9 of 13
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

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
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,

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.
Section 36
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
