Attached is the interlocal agreement with POH prepared by the City Attorney and modified by both parties. The agreement, as presented was approved by POH on November 27, 2006. This interlocal agreement with POH lays out terms for: . Constructing and maintaining a public street including drainage (Standards to be approved by the City). The proposed cross section is 8" lime-stabilized subgrade and lO" cement-stabilized base. (See Exhibit-Typical Road Cross Section). A single course of inverse penetration as a dust free treatment was added. . POH agrees to pay all associated expenses and emplace protective measures required for city utilities. . POH maintains the roadway. . POH's intent is not to light the street and to only allow usage under daylight conditions. . POH allocates $250,000 for construction including dust free treatment mandated by the city. . Duration of the agreement is 5 years with a year-by-year renewal or cancellation by either party with l-year's notice. The intent of the road is to be a temporary ingress/egress for trucks to the Ceres Container Yard and other locations thereby relieving truck queuing on Barbours Cut and Broadway. The subject of street lighting, as directed by Council, was discussed by the Board for the POH. It was decided by POH that lighting would not be necessary since the road was intended to be used only during daylight hours. It must be noted that construction of the road does not meet PICM standards and that approval of this interlocal agreement with POH allows this deviation. Action Required bv Council: 1. Consider approval an ordinance to allow an interlocal agreement with the Port of Houston to construct and maintain a temporary road along the J Street ROW for ingress and egress for trucks servicing Port activities. 2. Direct the City Manager to execute the interlocal agreement.
