APPLICATION
This Rider is available to electric service supplied at any one location. It is for firm electric service
applicable to new and existing customers as described below, over a five (5) year period. This Rider
is available to the following classes of customers:
(1)New Customers whose electric service represents demand not previously served by
the City at any location in the City’s service area in the last twelve (12) months, where
such metered demand will be in excess of 1,000 kVA and customer load factor must
be greater than the City’s electric system load factor, as estimated and mutually agreed
upon by the General Manager of the City’s electric utility and the Customer.
(2)Existing Customers served under Rate Schedules GSL or TGS who increase their
prior existing metered demand by 1,000 kVA and customer load factor must be greater
than the City’s electric system load factor. This increase shall be verified by sub-
metering (at the Customer’s expense) the additional load. If sub-metering is not
possible, at the discretion of the General Manager of the City’s electric utility, the
increase may be verified by comparing a three-month rolling average of the new level
of demand to the prior demand averaged for corresponding months. During periodsin which this verification method cannot be applied, the General Manager and the
Customer may develop a mutually agreed-upon formula to estimate the base andadditional demand levels

$22,000.00 and estimated construction costs of approximately $200,000.00 for traffic signal
modifications at the intersection of Union Circle and S. Welch Street/W. Prairie Street; and
WHEREAS, CITY and UNT desire to pool their resources, avoid unnecessary or duplicative
expense, and take advantage of maximizing economies of scale, resulting in cost savings; and
NOW THEREFORE, CITY and UNT, for and in consideration of the mutual covenants set
forth in this Interlocal Agreement do hereby AGREE as follows:
ARTICLE I
ADOPTION OF PREAMBLE
All of the matters stated in the preamble of this Agreement are true and correct and are hereby
incorporated into the body of this Agreement as though fully set forth in their entirety herein.
ARTICLE II
SCOPE OF AGREEMENT
A.City has retained, and shall continue to retain, the services of Kimley Horn and
Associates, Inc. for professional engineering services for Neighborhood 2 & 6, including
the traffic signal modifications at the intersection of Union Circle and S. Welch Street/W.
Prairie Street as shown on Exhibit A attached hereto and made a part hereof. UNT shall
be solely obligated to pay the sum of $22,000.00 for such additional engineering services.
B.Upon the CITY finalizing the Neighborhood 2&6 design and obtaining a construction
cost estimate to modify the traffic signalization from the Construction Manager at Risk
Project Cost Model the CITY shall inform UNT of the estimated cost to the CITY for
construction-related expenses, as specified in Exhibit B, attached hereto and incorporated
by reference. Within ten (10) days of approval by both parties, UNT shall deposit the
agreed upon amount(“Agreed Upon Costs”) with the CITY. To ensure total costs are
ultimately collected, CITY and UNT desire to implement a “true-up” process. In
compliance with Section E below, to the extent that the overall costs of the Project are
greater than the Agreed Upon Costs, CITY will recalculate the total cost overruns, and,
to the extent the total costs actually paid by the CITY exceed the Agreed Upon Costs,
UNT will refund the difference to the CITY. If the CITY’s total costs are less than the
Agreed Upon Costs, CITY will refund the difference to UNT.
C.The Funds provided by UNT shall be available to the CITY to pay for the related design
and construction costs of the Project, and the CITY, in its sole discretion, is entitled to
use, at any time, all or a portion of the Funds in connection with the construction of the
Project. The CITY shall be entitled to any and all interest, if any, that may accrue on the
Funds and such interest shall be considered as funds provided by UNT.
D.UNT’s construction representative shall be notified, invited to, and included in any and
all meetings of the CITY and Contractor and Engineer concerning the Project.
Furthermore, CITY, and CITY’s Contractor and Engineer shall include and share all
communications with UNT.
E UNT shall have the explicit right to review and provide comments on the Project
submitted by Kimley Horn and Associates, Inc.
F.UNT and CITY agree and acknowledge that on occasion the construction projects
referenced herein may have construction cost overruns. For purpose of this Agreement,
the term “construction cost overruns” shall mean those costs which may be incurred by
the CITY in the construction of the Project and which are over and above the amount of
the Funds UNT has deposited with the CITY. In such event, the CITY shall give UNT
prompt written notice of such construction cost overruns and the basis for such, and seek
the approval of UNT in writing for the payment of such construction cost overruns. In
the event of any disagreement between the CITY and UNT about such construction cost
overruns, the CITY and UNT shall jointly review such cost overruns and endeavor to
mutually resolve such disagreement promptly.
G.CITY shall, and UNT may, inspect the construction of the Project. In case of a
disagreement between CITY and UNT concerning acceptability of contractor’s work, the
parties agree to work together amicably to find a mutually acceptable solution.
H.After UNT funds the modifications in support of construction and completion of the
project; CITY shall accept all future ownership costs related to the maintenance of the
traffic signals.
