sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:
1. The Pitkin County Road and Bridge Department shall be physically
responsible for snow removal and rock and debris removal associated with the snow
removal in the Frying Pan Valley, which includes the Frying Pan Road and the North
Fork Road, and the Eagle -Thomasville Road. Reimbursement by Eagle County for Pitkin
County's costs shall be only as provided in this Agreement.
2. The Eagle/Thomasville Road shall continue to be plowed on a
contractual basis between Pitkin County and an independent snow removal
contractor. Pitkin County will invoice Eagle County monthly for 30% of the cost of
snow removal and Pitkin County shall contribute 70%.
3. Pitkin County shall be responsible for removal of any isolated rock fall
occurring on any of the Frying Pan Valley roads. In the event of a large debris problem
on the Frying Pan Valley roads, Eagle County shall assist Pitkin County in the removal
effort.
4. Eagle County will reimburse Pitkin County for man hours and
equipment time for snow removal on the 19 mile Eagle County portion of the Frying

wage ($22.39) of an equipment operator to the hourly cost for operation of the tandem
plow truck with wing ($38.50). Should the equipment operator exceed 40 hours per
week, the hourly wage will increase to $33.59 (which accounts for time and one half),
raising the total hourly cost of snow removal to $72.09. Pitkin County shall invoice
Eagle County on a monthly basis for man hours, equipment and materials. Eagle
County shall remit payment to Pitkin County within 60 days of receipt of invoice.
5. Eagle County shall reimburse Pitkin County for sanding material used

material is approximately $12.00 per ton, and shall be included in the monthly invoice
described in paragraph 4, with the same payment terms applied.

grader and for maintenance of the lubricating fluid levels in the grader.
