Page 2 of 4 shown in Exhibit A as “System B”. 2. The County shall own the traffic control signal systems and all of their components and shall, at its sole cost and expense, operate, maintain and keep in repair the traffic control signal systems including but not limited to the re-lamping of vehicular and pedestrian traffic signal indications, cleaning and maintenance of the control cabinets, maintenance of the Emergency Vehicle Preemption (EVP) systems, attached signage, traffic signal interconnection and master controller, and repair of any and all physical damage, except as set forth in the following sections. 3. The City shall, at its sole cost and expense, pay all monthly electrical service expenses necessary to operate the traffic control signal systems including all cabinet and control equipment and integral streetlights, and including the cost of establishing and perpetuating a connection to the electrical service grid and subsequent ongoing electrical service expenses. 4. The County shall, at the sole cost and expense of the City, maintain and keep in repair the integral luminaires (overhead streetlights) and all their components, including replacement of the existing luminaires if necessary, except that the County shall maintain and keep in repair the electrical connection to the luminaire heads at the sole cost and expense of the County. 5. The County considers paint to be an aesthetic component of traffic signal systems. However, the County was heretofore responsible for paint maintenance at System A covered by this agreement and therefore County shall, at its sole cost, expense, and discretion, clean and paint the traffic signal system and luminaire extensions at System A. 6. The County and the City have agreed that System B shall be constructed as a galvanized structure without paint. If the City desires in the future to paint System B, the City shall, at its sole cost and expense, clean and paint the traffic control signal system and integral streetlights at the sole cost and expense of the City, having first obtained a permit from the county which may place conditions on activities within the right- of-way. Alternatively, the City may, at its discretion, request in writing that the County paint the traffic control signal system and integral streetlights at the sole cost and expense of the City. 7. The County shall, at its sole cost and expense, be responsible for identification and location of the underground components of the traffic control signal systems as required by the Gopher State One Call system. 8. Any EVP equipment currently installed on the signals covered by this agreement, including optical detectors, control electronics, and confirmation lights shall become the property of Washington County if not already so established, with no direct compensation made to the City for said transfer. 9. The City shall not revise by addition or deletion, nor alter or adjust any component, part, sequence, or timing of the aforesaid traffic control signal systems or EVP systems; however, nothing herein shall be construed as restraint of prompt, prudent action by properly constituted authorities in situations where part of such traffic control signal systems may be directly involved in an emergency. 10. The EVP systems provided for in this agreement shall be installed, operated, maintained, upgraded, or removed in accordance with the following conditions and requirements: a. Emitter units may be installed and used only on vehicles responding to an emergency as defined in Minnesota Statutes Sections 169.011, subd. 3 and 169.03. The City will, provide the County Engineer or his duly appointed representative a list of all such vehicles with emitter units upon request. b. Malfunctions of the EVP systems shall be reported to the County immediately.
