Execution <br />D. Construction Management. <br />LTD will be responsible for managing the construction of the Project including, but not limited to <br />the selection and management of consultants hired to provide technical assistance during construction; hiring <br />and management of an owner's construction representative; and the day-to-day management of the <br />contractor. <br />E. Compliance with City Procedures. <br />The Project will be subject to all City regulations, procedures, and permitting requirements <br />applicable to construction within the City generally and within the public right-of-way. Without limiting the <br />generality of the foregoing, LTD shall comply with the City's adopted procedures for privately-engineered <br />proj ects known as the PEPI process (Privately Engineered Public Improvements). The PEPI process requires <br />City review and approval of plans and specifications and periodic site and construction inspection. LTD <br />shall confer and consult with the City on an ongoing basis with respect to the construction of the Project <br />within the City. <br />F. Community Impacts During Construction. <br />LTD will work with the City and other partner agencies to minimize, as much as is feasible and <br />consistent with budget considerations, disruption to the community during construction of the Project. When <br />adverse impacts occur, LTD and the City will endeavor to provide accurate and timely information to <br />affected businesses, residents, and users of the corridor. Efforts will also be made to resolve in an expedient <br />manner disputes involving the public that may arise during construction. A joint staff committee, comprised <br />of members from LTD and the City, shall be formed to provide advice with respect to addressing public <br />questions, complaints and community outreach during and prior to this aspect of construction. The <br />Committee will meet on an as-needed basis during Project construction. <br />IV. MAINTENANCE OF PROJECT IMPROVEMENTS <br />The City and LTD intend that there will be a separate intergovernmental agreement to clearly detail <br />responsibility for maintenance of busways, stations, signals, landscaping, and other improvements <br />constructed in the City's right-of-way. As a general principle, the agreement will require that LTD maintain <br />all facilities that are used exclusively for transit, including stations, bus guideways, and bus lanes, while the <br />City will be responsible for landscaping, sidewalks, crosswalks, traffic signals, and other "non-transit" <br />improvements within the City's right-of-way. <br />V. TRANSIT SIGNAL PRIORITY <br />Signal priority for transit is a key component of the Project. Agreement # 97-210-20 signed by the <br />City and LTD in 1997 stipulates the process to determine if and how transit signal priority is to be used on <br />City traffic signals. Under this agreement, sole responsibility for decisions on changes to signal timing and <br />phasing rest with the City. The City will provide signal priority to BRT vehicles to the extent practicable <br />and consistent with the City's public policy and the public health and welfare. <br />Eugene - LTD IGA for Bus Rapid Transit Page 5 of 7 <br />
