It is understood by both agencies that the existing condition of both roadway corridors do not meet specific design standard or performance standards that may be necessary to allow for a formal corridor or right-of-way (ROW) exchange. A bus tour was conducted on 9/11/19 with the ITD Board and McCall City Council to introduce these issues to both agency representatives. Identifying key deficiencies for both SH-55 and Deinhard/Boydstun Lanes and estimating the cost to remediate these roadways to an acceptable level is needed to better understand the magnitude of necessary physical improvements or other measures (ROW acquisition) that will facilitate a corridor exchange. Therefore, ITD and City staff have developed a Cooperative Agreement (attached) to cost share the completion of a corridor feasibility study. Both agencies have settled on an acceptable scope of work (also attached) for Horrocks Engineers to complete this study. The cost sharing is proportioned based on the extent of work necessary to document each ROW, respectively. The Cooperative Agreement is under final review by both agencies’ legal counsel. Should minor revisions be made, staff will present the final version of the agreement to the City Council at the meeting.  RECOMMENDED ACTION: Approve Resolution 19-20 authorizing the execution of the Cooperative Agreement SH-55 and Deinhard/Boydstun Corridor Exchange Feasibility Study.
