TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Greg Ruddy, Director of Public Works
SUBJECT:
title
Resolution Authorizing the Execution of an Intergovernmental Agreement with Pace Regarding Transit Shelters
end
BACKGROUND:
The City of Joliet’s 2011 agreement with Pace and Titan Outdoor for transit shelter advertising and maintenance has expired. A new agreement with Pace is proposed, and Titan is no longer involved.
Under the new agreement, Pace will maintain all existing bus shelters, which shall include structures, lighting, trash receptacles, and related amenities at its sole cost. Pace must seek and obtain City approval before installing any new shelters within Joliet. Pace retains control over advertising, and the City will continue to receive 50% of Pace’s net advertising revenue from all advertising shelters, both inside and outside Joliet. Unsold ad space may still be used for City public service messages. New shelter locations and designs require mutual approval, and installation costs will not be borne by the City.
Insurance requirements have been updated: both the City and Pace must carry Commercial General Liability, Business Auto, Workers’ Compensation, and Umbrella Liability coverage. Each must name the other (and the RTA, where applicable) as an additional insured.
The agreement has a 10-year initial term and automatically renews unless either party gives 90 days’ notice after the initial term.
The Public Service Committee will review this matter.
RECOMMENDATION:
recommendation
Approve the resolution authorizing execution of the new Intergovernmental Agreement with Pace.
