WHEREAS, County desires to utilize Contractor for frozen precipitation removal and Trail and Shelter
maintenance services (the “Project”) for the Eagle Valley Trail and Core Transit bus stops throughout
Eagle County (the “Property” or “Properties”); and
WHEREAS, Contractor is authorized to do business in the State of Colorado and has the time, skill,
expertise, and experience necessary to provide the Services as defined below in paragraph 1 hereof; and
WHEREAS, this Agreement shall govern the relationship between Contractor and County in connection
with the Services.
AGREEMENT
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the following promises Contractor and

2. County’s Representative. The Eagle County Trails Department’s designee shall be Contractor’s
contact with respect to this Agreement and performance of the Services.
3. Term of the Agreement. This Agreement shall commence upon the date first written above, and
subject to the provisions of paragraph 11 hereof, shall continue in full force and effect through the 31st
day of May, 2025.
4. Extension or Modification. This Agreement may be extended for up to three additional one year
terms upon written agreement of the parties. Any amendments or modifications shall be in writing signed
by both parties. No additional services or work performed by Contractor shall be the basis for additional
compensation unless and until Contractor has obtained written authorization and acknowledgement by
County for such additional services in accordance with County’s internal policies. Accordingly, no
course of conduct or dealings between the parties, nor verbal change orders, express or implied
acceptance of alterations or additions to the Services, and no claim that County has been unjustly enriched
by any additional services, whether or not there is in fact any such unjust enrichment, shall be the basis of
any increase in the compensation payable hereunder. In the event that written authorization and
acknowledgment by County for such additional services is not timely executed and issued in strict
accordance with this Agreement, Contractor’s rights with respect to such additional services shall be
deemed waived and such failure shall result in non-payment for such additional services or work
performed.
5. Compensation. County shall compensate Contractor for the performance of the Services in
accordance with the fee schedule set forth in Exhibit A. Prior to commencement of Services at any
Property or Properties, Contractor shall first provide County with a written estimate which shall include
an estimate of the labor, materials without any mark up and any additional costs necessary to perform the
Services at a particular Property or Properties. Each estimate must be approved by County’s
Representative prior to commencement of the Services by Contractor and all rates shall be in accordance
with the fee schedule set forth in Exhibit A. Total compensation for all Services under this Agreement
shall not exceed $12,000.00. Contractor shall not be entitled to bill at overtime and/or double time rates
for work done outside of normal business hours unless specifically authorized in writing by County.
a. Payment will be made for Services satisfactorily performed within thirty (30) days of
receipt of a proper and accurate invoice from Contractor. All invoices shall include detail regarding the
hours spent, tasks performed, who performed each task and such other detail as County may request.
b. If, at any time during the term or after termination or expiration of this Agreement,
County reasonably determines that any payment made by County to Contractor was improper because the
Services for which payment was made were not performed as set forth in this Agreement, then upon
written notice of such determination and request for reimbursement from County, Contractor shall
forthwith return such payment(s) to County. Upon termination or expiration of this Agreement,
unexpended funds advanced by County, if any, shall forthwith be returned to County.

Contractor agrees to be solely responsible for the accurate reporting and payment of any taxes related to
payments made pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.
d. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, County shall have
no obligations under this Agreement after, nor shall any payments be made to Contractor in respect of any
period after December 31 of any year, without an appropriation therefor by County in accordance with a
budget adopted by the Board of County Commissioners in compliance with Article 25, title 30 of the
Colorado Revised Statutes, the Local Government Budget Law (C.R.S. 29-1-101 et. seq.) and the
TABOR Amendment (Colorado Constitution, Article X, Sec. 20).
6. Subcontractors. Contractor acknowledges that County has entered into this Agreement in
reliance upon the particular reputation and expertise of Contractor. Contractor shall not enter into any
subcontractor agreements for the performance of any of the Services or additional services without
County’s prior written consent, which may be withheld in County’s sole discretion. County shall have
the right in its reasonable discretion to approve all personnel assigned to perform the Services during the
performance of this Agreement and no personnel to whom County has an objection, in its reasonable
discretion, shall be assigned to the Project. Contractor shall require each subcontractor, as approved by
County and to the extent of the Services to be performed by the subcontractor, to be bound to Contractor
by the terms of this Agreement, and to assume toward Contractor all the obligations and responsibilities
which Contractor, by this Agreement, assumes toward County. County shall have the right (but not the
obligation) to enforce the provisions of this Agreement against any subcontractor hired by Contractor and
Contractor shall cooperate in such process. The Contractor shall be responsible for the acts and omissions
of its agents, employees and subcontractors.
