INTERGOVERNMENTAL AGREEMENT
REGARDING A FIBER AND INTELLIGENT TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM
EQUIPMENT INSTALLATION ON INTERSTATE 70 AND
RESPONSIBILITIES OF BOTH PARTIES THERETO
THIS AGREEMENT is made this day of 2008, by and between the
STATE OF COLORADO DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION, hereinafter referred to as CDOT,
and the TOWN OF VAIL, a Colorado municipal corporation, hereinafter referred to as the "Town".
CDOT and the Town also may be hereinafter referred to individually as the "Party" or jointly as the
Parties".
I. FACTUAL RECITALS
1. The CDOT Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) Strategic Plan identifies deployment of ITS
enabling infrastructure and statewide traveler information systems as fundamental strategic goals.
ITS enabling infrastructure is defined as improving and enhancing the functionality of the CDOT
Transportation Management Centers and ensuring integration among them, deployment of fiber
optic backbone communications and related equipment and connection of existing and deployed
devices to the fiber optic backbone.
2. Interstate highways and freeways serve the highest volumes of traffic and carry a significant portion
of the longer intraregional and interregional trips. Interstate highways and freeways are affected by
many of the critical transportation problems that have been identified in Colorado including;
reoccurring and increasing congestion, adverse weather, incidents, event venues and activity
centers, major construction, and daily construction and maintenance activities. Implementation of
real-time data collection and travel information dissemination elements combined with high-speed
communications facilities will provide transportation facilities managers with timely information on
current conditions and better tools for controlling flow and managing construction, weather and
accident incidents, and special events.
3. As part of the Interstate 70 (I-70) West Corridor Management Project, which was completed in
2006, CDOT deployed a fiber optic backbone communications network from Denver west through
the Eisenhower Johnson Memorial Tunnels to the Frisco Exit. This completed a permanent Center-
to-Center (C2C) connection between the Colorado Transportation 1Vlanagement Center (CTMC),
which is located in Golden, and the Eisenhower Johnson Tunnel Management Center. CDOT also
1
installed necessary computer and networking equipment to operate its fiber optic network, and to
communicate with and control ITS devices such as cameras, dynamic message signs, weather
stations, travel time/speed indicators, etc., from the CTMC. This, in conjunction with connection of
existing and future ITS devices in the corridor, significantly expands, enhances and improves
traveler information, incident response, traffic management systems and pass management
technologies within the I-70 corridor.
4. CDOT is currently continuing with the deployment of the fiber optic communications backbone
from the Frisco exit (approximate Mile Point 199) to the west side of Vail Pass (approximate Mile
Point 182), and to perform this deployment has established CDOT Project CM 0702-274 16272
the Project". In conjunction with this Project deployment, the Town approached CDOT regarding
the Town's desire to upgrade local communications along a segment of I-70 from the referenced
end point on the west side of Vail Pass (approximate Mile Point 182) to the West Vail Interchange
approximate Mile Point 173) - a distance of approximately nine (9) miles, which would extend the
Project an additional nine (9) miles to the west. This additional nine (9) mile segment shall be
referred to in this Agreement as "the Project Extension". The actual project length of the Project
Extension will be as detertnined by the amount of funding the Town is able to secure, however the
Project Extension shall be at least to the Vail Interchange (approximate Mile Point 176).
5. CDOT and the Town believe that both Parties will receive significant benefit from this Project
Extension to implement an additional nine miles of communications and ITS infrastructure
extending to the West Vail interchange. Furthermore, CDOT and the Town desire to enter into this
partnership pursuant to Sections 29-1-203 C.R.S., as amended, in order to cooperate and to jointly
accomplish activities that, although could be performed separately by each Party, will maacimize
limited public resources and provide enhanced benefit, functionality and economy of scale to each
Party, and will accomplish the Project Extension in an effective and efficient manner.
6. CDOT and the Town recognize and agree that there are certain general agreed upon construction
processes and procedures, which are necessary with respect to the division of roles and
responsibilities for accomplishing the Project Extension. Such general processes and procedures
and roles and responsibilities are identified in the following Sections of this Agreement.

VIDEO USAGE GUIDELINES
PURPOSE OF Guidelines: This document establishes a set of guidelines for video use across
jurisdictional boundaries.
1. General Overview: CDOT policy dictates that Closed Circuit Television Cameras (CCTV)
images be used for information purposes only. CDOT does not record video. Images
received at CDOT facilities are not used for law enforcement purposes, images received
by law enforcement facilities may record at their discretion, but CDOT shall not be held
accountable for any data held therein.
2. Usage Policv: CDOT's Video policy requires that any entity with control of camera
functions (Pan/TilUZoom) adhere to the following:
1. Users shall not zoom into incidents/accidents except for scene
assessment, once an incident has been assessed, cameras are to be
immediately zoomed out, allowing for an overall view of the accident area
and traffic queue(s).
2. Views of injured bodies etc... should not be shown by zoomed in cameras
unless absolutely necessary
3. Cameras shall not be focused on non-roadways, refrain from viewing
private homes or facilities, bike paths etc...
3. FTP Process: It is understood that CDOT uses a File Transfer Protocol (FTP) to populate
video images on the COTrip.org website. This is an automated process and out of the
control of the operations staff at the CTMC. Cameras are programmed to take snapshot
pictures of the roadway and may, at times, take control and move a camera from iYs
location to take said snapshots.
