Contracts and Agreements No.28835 Oregon Department of Transportation COOPERATIVE IMPROVEMENT AGREEMENT Interstate 5 (1 -5) at Woodburn Interchange and Transit Facility City of Woodburn THIS AGREEMENT is made and entered into by and between the STATE OF OREGON, acting by and through its Department of Transportation, hereinafter referred to as "State;" and the CITY OF WOODBURN, acting by and through its designated officials, hereinafter referred to as "City;" both herein referred to individually or collectively as "Party" or "Parties." RECITALS Interstate 5 (Pacific Highway) and Oregon Route 214 /Oregon Route 219 (Hillsboro - Silverton Highway) are part of the state highway system under the jurisdiction and control of the Oregon Transportation Commission (OTC). Oregon Route 214/219 (OR 214/219) is routed through the corporate limits of the City of Woodburn. Various city streets listed are mentioned throughout the terms of this Agreement and are under the jurisdiction and control of City. 2. By the authority granted in Oregon Revised Statutes (ORS) 190.110, 366.572 and 366.576, State may enter into cooperative agreements with counties, cities and units of local governments for the performance of work on certain types of improvement projects with the allocation of costs on terms and conditions mutually agreeable to the contracting parties. 3. By the authority granted in ORS 366.425, State may accept deposits of money or an irrevocable letter of credit from any county, city, road district, person, firm, or corporation for the performance of work on any public highway within the State. When said money or a letter of credit is deposited, State shall proceed with the project. Money so deposited shall be disbursed for the purpose for which it was deposited. 4. State, by ORS 366.220, is vested with complete jurisdiction and control over the roadways of other jurisdictions taken for state highway purposes. By the authority granted in ORS 373.020, the jurisdiction extends from curb to curb, or, if there is no regular established curb, then control extends over such portion of the right of way as may be utilized by State for highway purposes. Responsibilities for and jurisdiction over all other portions of city street remains with the City. 5. By the authority granted in ORS 810.210, State is authorized to determine the character or type of traffic control devices to be used, and to place or erect them upon state highways at places where State deems necessary for the safe and expeditious control of traffic. No traffic control devices shall be erected, maintained, or operated upon any state highway by any authority other than State, except with its written Key Nos. 12518 and 15739 Exhibit A City of Woodburn / State of Oregon — Dept. of Transportation Agreement No. 28835 approval. Traffic signal work on this project will conform to the current State standards and specifications. 6. Oregon Jobs and Transportation Act of 2009 (JTA) Program, hereinafter referred to as the "JTA of 2009 Program," provides funding for preservation and modernization projects chosen by the OTC. 7. Projects named in Section 64 of the 2009 Legislative Assembly, Oregon House Bill (HB) 2001, as well as projects approved by the OTC pursuant to Section 64(3), were amended into the Statewide Transportation Improvement Program (STIP), including the project identified herein. 8. Governor Kulongoski signed HB 2001 on July 29, 2009, Chapter 865, Oregon Laws 2009. This legislation also known as the Oregon Jobs and Transportation Act, is the transportation funding plan for accountability, innovation and environmental stewardship; highway, road and street funding, and multimodal funding. On October 21, 2009 the OTC approved projects relating to this legislation. A portion of the project described herein is funded by the JTA of 2009 Program. 9. The Interstate 5 (1 -5) interchange area at OR 214 and OR 219 (Woodburn Interchange) has experienced capacity deficiencies and extensive motor vehicle queuing for many years and does not meet current design and operational standards. The Woodburn Interchange has become heavily congested as urban development has increased traffic in the area, and the capacities of local arterial streets served by the interchange are limited by the size of the existing structure. Future growth in the area will increase congestion problems, increase the difficulty to access adjacent businesses, and decrease the safety of drivers, bicyclists, and pedestrians. 10.The proposed Woodburn Interchange project was evaluated by the State and Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) in an Environmental Assessment (EA) published in July 2005, which was circulated for public and other federal, state, and local agency review. Public testimony and agency comments were reviewed and responded to in the November 2006 Revised Environmental Assessment (REA). FHWA issued a Finding of No Significant Impact for this project on December 8, 2006. Since the publication of the 2006 REA, the project design has been modified and changes have occurred in the affected environment and to regulations and policies relevant to the proposed project. A Re-Evaluation of the 2005 EA and 2006 REA resulted in the Re- Evaluation of the 2005 Woodburn Interchange Project Environmental Assessment dated July 2012, which combined the Woodburn Interchange Project (Key No. 12518) with the Transit Facility /Evergreen Road Project (Key No. 15739). 11.Cooperative Improvement Agreement No. 25169, entered into between State and City was fully- executed on May 10, 2012, and adopts the alignment of Evergreen Road and the basic site plan for, and access to, the Transit Facility. Page 2 of 32 Exhibit A City of Woodburn / State of Oregon — Dept. of Transportation Agreement No. 28835 12.The 2005 EA established the aesthetics goal for this project, which is to: "create a gateway entrance to Woodburn." The EA also states that State will "design gateway intersections at 1 -5 as community enhancement areas with features appropriate to community urban design goals." In response, the Woodburn City Council appointed a 13- member Aesthetic Advisory Panel to work with the State's design team to develop design enhancements that will make the Woodburn Interchange stand out among other Willamette Valley 1 -5 interchanges. During the fall and winter of 2011 the panel met to discuss and design themes and evaluate various treatments for the interchange including special lighting and landscaping. The panel provided guidance on design themes and feedback on the look of proposed design features. The community -led vision for the overall Gateway Design Package was selected by consensus of the panel members at their April 4, 2012 meeting and approved by the Woodburn City Council on June 11, 2012. The approved Gateway Design Package will be incorporated into the plans and specifications of the project described herein. DEFINITIONS 1. Relinquishment Deed, as defined in Oregon Department of Transportation's Right of Way Bulletin Number RW080 -10(B) is a conveyance document used by the State to convey a fee title (and /or easement) property interest that was acquired by the State to a local agency for public road purposes. 2. The Filterra Stormwater Bioretention Filtration SystemTM is a combination of landscape vegetation and a specially designed filter media that captures bacteria, metals, nutrients, and total suspended solids (TSS) that will be removed from City's and State's stormwater management systems. NOW THEREFORE, the premises being in general as stated in the foregoing Recitals, it is agreed by and between the Parties hereto as follows: TERMS OF AGREEMENT Under such authority, and as recommended by the 2012 REA, State and City agree to combine the Woodburn Interchange and Evergreen Road Transit Facility projects. Separately the projects are further described in Miscellaneous Contracts and Agreements (MC&A) No. 21374, No. 22933, No. 23240, No. 25169, and No. 27310. State and City agree to design, bid and construct the 1 -5 Woodburn Interchange and Evergreen Transit Facility projects as one, hereinafter referred to as "Project." 2. The Project includes the reconstruction of the Woodburn Interchange to a partial cloverleaf -A (loop ramps in advance of the overcrossing structure of 1 -5), widen 1 -5 at the OR 214 and OR 219 overcrossing structure (Bridge) and approximately one -half (112) mile of each highway predominantly northerly of the existing centerline, depending on the existing conditions of the segment. This design concept follows the Recommended Interchange Alternative, analyzed in the 2006 REA. As described in the Project's Interchange Area Management Plan ([AMP) and in MC &A No. 25169, Page 3 of 32 Exhibit A City of Woodburn /State of Oregon — Dept. of Transportation Agreement No. 28835 the Project also includes a new public transit facility and park- and -ride lot in the northeast quadrant of the Woodburn Interchange at the intersection of OR 214 and Evergreen Road; and an extension of Evergreen Road north of OR 214 to Country Club Court, to support multi -modal use. The vicinity and general plan of the Project are approximately as shown on the sketch maps attached hereto, marked "Exhibit A -1 and Exhibit A -2," and by this reference made a part hereof. The Project is pursuant to FHWA directive. 3. As part of the Project construction and in accordance with Recitals, Paragraph No. 12, the approved Gateway Design Package will include, but is not limited to: a. decorative protective screening and lighting on the Bridge; b. unique sign bridge design at each end of the Bridge and east of the Bridge near the intersection of OR 214 and Lawson Avenue, for a total of three (3) sign bridges; c. sound wall colored block surface treatment; d. colored concrete paving on the sidewalk on parts of OR 214 near the intersection with Evergreen Road and the Transit Facility transfer platform; e. landscaping at both ends of the Bridge, inside the interchange loop ramps, and around and within the storm water detention ponds; and f. a wall at the top of the drainage swale in the southwest quadrant of the Woodburn Interchange. 4. Upon Project completion, City shall, at its own expense, maintain and pay all electrical energy costs for the features of the Gateway Design Package, maintain all landscaping as described in City Obligations, Paragraph Nos. 14 and 15, and have maintenance responsibilities for all improvements made to City streets. 5. Electrical energy costs and maintenance responsibilities for the signalized intersections included within the limits of this Project will remain as originally agreed to by State and City in MC &A No. 10754, No. 11362, No. 14571, and No. 17227. State shall maintain the signs and sign bridges over the Hillsboro - Silverton Highway, one on each side of the Bridge and east of the Bridge near the intersection of OR 214 and Lawson Avenue, as defined in MC&A 18079. 6.

The relinquishment will be initiated by State upon completion and acceptance of the Project by State and City. City shall maintain that property and the improvements constructed thereupon for as long as the property is used for highway purposes. If said property is no longer used for highway purposes, it shall automatically revert to State. 9. Evergreen Road is being built by State as part of the Project and upon completion will serve as the official "Detour Route" during construction of the new Woodburn Interchange. It is the only such route that is part of the Project's Traffic Control Plan. All other routes designated for use by cars and trucks to avoid the Project construction area shall be part of an "Alternate Routes Plan" developed by the City and Marion County and will be designated as "Alternate Routes" to distinguish them from the State's "Detour Route ". The City will coordinate efforts with Marion County to inform the public of "Alternate Routes" on their respective websites. State will support their efforts by supplying public communication materials and links on State's websites to the City and Marion County websites regarding "Alternate Routes ". 10.The Project will be financed at an estimated cost of approximately $80,000,000 in federal, State, JTA, and City funds. The estimate for the total Project cost is subject to change. City's total financial contribution toward the Project is limited to $8,000,000, Page 5 of 32 Exhibit A City of Woodburn / State of Oregon — Dept. of Transportation Agreement No. 28835 as further described in Terms of Agreement, Paragraph No. 11. State shall be responsible for the match to the federal funds, any non - participating costs, and all Project costs beyond City's contribution. 11.State and City entered into MC &A No. 23240 on June 6, 2006 which describes the Woodburn Interchange Funding Plan.

GUIDELINES When a local agency requests ornamental landscaping be included in a highway construction or maintenance project, the ongoing additional cost of maintenance of the landscaped area must be home by the local agency. Extensive ornamental landscaping will not be installed on state highways rnless the local agency agrees to assume responsibility for the ongoing maintenance of the landscaped area. ODOT may provide finis to the local agency in the amount estimated to maintain the area at the ordinary landscaped level, but the responsibility to perform the maintenance will fall to the local agency- DEFINITIONS Ornamental Landscaping: landscaping beyond minimal, ordinary landscape necessary for the protection of the highway and control of roadside erosion (hydroseeding of bare slopes). Wetland mitigation is not considered ornamental landscaping for the purpose of this directive. Extensive Ornamental Landscaping: ornamental landscaping beyond the landscape maintenance labor and equipment resources of the department. Local Agency: Requests ornamental landscaping on a highway project. Project Team Leader: In consultation with the appropriate District Manager, determines if requested landscaping is beyond ordinary landscaping. If so, negotiates the level of ornamental landscaping and method of hiding with local agency. Coordinates the writing of docuunents necessay to support the agreement with the local agency. Notifies Landscape Design to include the agreed upon landscape elements in the project design. Page 32 of 32
