A. PURPOSE OF THIS AGREEMENT
This Agreement documents the intent of the parties and sets forth the anticipated responsibilities of each
party in the development, construction, and future maintenance of the subject project. The purpose of the
Agreement is to identify and assign responsibilities for the environmental analysis, design, right-of-way,
utilities, acquisition and construction as appropriate for this programmed project, and to ensure maintenance
of the facility for public use if improvements are made. The parties understand that any final decision as to
design or construction will not be made until after the environmental analysis required under the National
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) is completed (this does not prevent the parties from assigning proposed
design criteria to be studied in the NEPA process.) Any decision to proceed with the design and construction
of the project will depend on the availability of appropriations at the time of obligation and other factors,
such as issues raised during the NEPA process, a natural disaster that changes the need for the project, a
change in Congressional direction, or other relevant factors.
If Federal Lands Access Program funds are used for the development or construction of this project, Pitkin
County agrees to provide a matching share equal to a minimum of 17.21 percent of the total cost of the
project, as detailed more fully in Sections J and K below.
B. AUTHORITY
This Agreement is entered into between the signatory parties pursuant to the provisions of 23 U.S.C. 204.
C. JURISDICTION AND MAINTENANCE COMMITMENT
The Pitkin County has jurisdictional authority to operate and maintain the existing facility and will operate
and maintain the completed project at its expense.
D. FEDERAL LAND MANAGEMENT AGENCY COORDINATION
Pitkin County has coordinated the project development with the U.S. Forest Service – White River National
Forest. The U.S. Forest Service – White River National Forest support of the project is documented in the
Colorado Federal Lands Access Program Project Application for this project submitted by Pitkin County
to FHWA-Central Federal Lands Highway Division. Each party to this agreement who has a primary role
in NEPA, design, or construction shall coordinate their activities with the U.S. Forest Service – White River
National Forest.

E. PROJECT BACKGROUND/SCOPE
General Project Description.
The project is located at the intersection of Colorado State Highway 82 and Brush Creek Road in
Pitkin County, approximately 7 miles north of Aspen, Colorado. The project proposes to grade and
pave 200 additional parking spaces and add safety lighting, bathroom facilities, and an information
kiosk.
Highway Design and Safety.
The project is located adjacent to State Highway 82. As a transit center and parking lot it does not have
the same roadway design considerations or safety issues as a roadway. Improvements to the intersection
were made as part of the BRT project and the capacity exists for turning movements required to and from
SH 82. No additional roadwork will be completed. The terrain is flat and the alignment is sufficient so the
proposed parking lot will match the existing size, shape, and profile of the existing graveled area. The
facilities and kiosks will be built in previously disturbed areas with minimal site grading.
Pavement.
The existing overflow parking lot is currently a gravel surface and is maintained by Pitkin County. It
is assumed that the proposed project will place 4” of aggregate base and 4” asphalt surface to match
the structural section the existing paved parking lot. Additionally, the asphalt in the existing paved
parking area will be removed and replaced. The millings will be placed in the North Overflow
parking area.

ROW.
The project is on land currently owned by the Colorado Department of Transportation and maintained
by Pitkin County. It is anticipated that the town of Aspen may purchase the land. CFLHD will work
with the Town of Aspen, Pitkin County and CDOT for any ROW needs.
Utilities.
There is currently overhead power located in the area of this project. Additional power will need to be
installed for the safety lighting. Also, additional utility installations (power, sewer and water) will be
needed for the bathroom facilities and information kiosk.
Survey.
Full topographic survey is required for the length of the parking area sufficient to account for minor
vertical alignment adjustments. The terrain is flat to rolling and no vegetation is present.
Geotechnical.
It is anticipated that minor geotechnical analysis will be needed for this project. The east end of the
parking lot is near a steep slope leading to the Roaring Fork River which may require slope stabilization.
This will be determined once construction limits are determined.
Hydrology/Hydraulics.
There are no hydraulic features within the project limits and no signs of current drainage issues. The
parking lot will be designed such that the water will sheet flow from the parking lot. Low impact
development water quality features will be utilized to the greatest extent possible to mitigation water
quality changes.
Environment and Permits.
CFLHD will serve as the lead agency for NEPA compliance. A NEPA analysis (EIS-ROD) was
completed for the project area in 1993. It is assumed that the NEPA document for this project will be a
Categorical Exclusion. The proposed parking area has been previously disturbed and was studied and
mitigated under the earlier EIS, so only minor environmental activities will be needed for reevaluation. It
is not anticipated that any additional unmitigated resources are within the project limits. Any permit needs
will be determined during the environmental process.
