�COUNTY/Mt7� AL COOPERATNE PROJ�CCTS
[1�lopted 1.2/14/81. - Ru� sey County 13o�zrd Resolution 81-1001
PURPnSF,
The purpose of this policy is to est blish guidelines for county cost participation tznd
mAintenance responsibilities pertaini g to all traffic control signal systems on county
roadwa,ys. The guidelines pertain t all new construction, u�grading and revisions of
any type.
EXPLANATION
To clearly define the cost particip tion and maintenance responsibilities between the
county and the city h�.ving juris iction over the entering roadways before final
commitment to expend public fu ds for traffic control signal systems is made,
cooperative agreements describing tl ese responsibilities �Nill be negotiated and executed
by the affected agencies. With the e responsibilities clearly defined in advance of the
installation or revision, all requir d wor�c can be performed ex�editiously without
confusion as to each agency's re ponsibilities. Policies contained herein are not
applicable to intersections controlle by the Minnesota Department of Transportation.
DEI'INITIONS
County - R.amsey County, acting y and through its Board of County Commissioners.
City - Municipal corporation, a ting by and through its council.
ENTERING LEGS
Under this document "entering le; ' means the physical legs of an intersection. The
entering leg may carry two-way vehicular traffic or may carry pedestrian traffic
exclusively. In t1�e event an enter ng leg is split by a subdivision boundary, that leo
shall be equally prorated.
STANDARD PROCEDURES
Resolution
A cooperative traffic sig al project shall be initiated by a resolution of the
city havin� jurisdiction ov r the entering legs requesting the improvement and
indicating willingness to s are in the cost of the work.
Fundin�
If sufficient warrants exi t for the install.ation of traffic control signals as
outlined in the Manual o Uniform Traffic Control Devices on county state
aid highways or county r adways at their intersections with roadways under
the jurisdiction of cities, the co�inty will participate in the construction cost
and the engineering and i spection costs as set forth in this policy.
The county will not parti ipate in installations where it cannot justify a need
for a traffic signal. Inst llation may be permitted at no cost to the county.
The couzlty will prepar the plans, construct, operate �nd m�intain the
installation at tl�e expens of the city. All equipment will become the property
of tl�e county.
, . . . . C� �� -���`9
2 0 3
Agree ments
The county, through the Public j1lorks Deprzrtment, Division of Traffic
Engineering, will prepare coopera ive agreements as necessary to administer
the improvement. The agreement will orovide for all costs and responsibilities
pertaining to engineering, constr tion and maintenance for the county and
the city.
POLICIES - FINANCING
The construction cost �articipation will be in the same ratio as the number of entering
legs of the intersection under each jurisd etion bears to the number of legs entering
the intersection. The construction cost is defined as the contract cost of the work, or,
if the worlc is not contracted, the cost f all labor, materials, and equipment rental
required to complete the work.
The participAnt who awards the contra t and supervises the construction shall be
reimbursed for a portion of the const ction engineering (plans, specifications and
proposals) and inspection costs. The re mbursement will be computed as a uniform
fixed percentage of the other participan 's share of the cooperative construction cost.
The current rate is fi percent and is sub ect to uniform change.
Exceptions
Federal Funding
If federal funds are sed for the traffic signal construction, any
remaining participation costs will be in the same ratio as the number
of entering ]egs of th intersection.
Emergency Vehicle Pre-Emptio
The city will pay 100 percent of the cost of the emergency vehicle
pre-emption installati or improvement.
Private Intersections, Shopping Centers
The county will shar in these construction costs on the basis of
negotiation, consideri such items as entering legs in the intersection,
hazard to through tr ffic, traffic volumes, etc. In no case will the
county pay more tha 50 percent of the cost.
POLICI�S - MAINTENANCE
The county will own and maintain th control equipment, electrical wiring including
