IDT Proposal – Exit 29
Gordon Law, City Engineer, presented a proposal from the Idaho Dept. Of Transportation (IDT)
in the form of a cooperative agreement between the City of Caldwell and IDT to proceed with
the plan for complete replacement of Exit 29.
The City’s obligations relating to the Urban Renewal Agency will be:
1) Support the concept preparation at a cost of 7.3% of the approximate $250,000 fee, or
roughtly $18,250, to be split equally between the City of Caldwell and the Urban
Renewal Agency.
2) The City will provide the engineering for the project at a cost not to exceed $1.2 million,
to be split equally between the City of Caldwell and the Urban Renewal Agency.
3) The City will participate in the selection of the engineering firm.
The City Council will review this proposal at the next City Council meeting. A motion to
communicate our support of the proposal to the City Council, with approval pending the review
of the final document, was made by T. Rinearson, seconded by M. Gable and passed
unanimously. Chairman E. Waite will distribute copies of the final proposal to the
commissioners upon receipt from the IDT.
M. Gable stated, as a matter of record, that a final approval of a 50/50 split will not set a
precedent for future project partnerships. Future splits will be decided on a case by case basis,
and may cover a wide range of percentages.
