of structural repairs and replacement of the ceiling slab. See paragraph 4.2 of the condo agreement. The basic method for determining the respective share of each party for the total project costs starts by defining the project. Originally, this was done by defining the county facilities and the transit facilities in the Intergovernmental Development Agreement. See Section 1 of the IGA. In E~chibit D, a cost alloca.tion was made based on ACC estimates of total direct construction costs. These costs were split between the two parties. The relative share of the total cost was calculated. Payment of invoices is based on each party paying its respective share of construction related costs. Provision is made for dealing with special items for which one party or the other is responsible. Change orders will be paid according to the appropriate cost allocation: land, construction, or special items. An adjustment to the respective share allocation was anticipated, based on refined cost estimates and the actual construction bid. See paragraph 1.40 of the IGA and "Construction Related Costs" of Exhibit D. The Respective Share and Continuing Control Amendment negotiated between the parties in May, 1999, made such an adjustment. The respective shares changed as follows: County Transit IGA 68.58% 31.29% Amendment 69.36% 30.64%. Special items were allocated between the parties, and accounts were balanced at that time. A copy of the amendment is attached. As you can see, the basic method for dealing with cost sharing and change orders is laid out. But it is not a fixed formula. It requires continuing negotiation as construction proceeds. The bus mall is part of the project costs. The total cost of the.bus mall is allocated wholly to the transit district. A copy of the cost sharing breakdown from E~ibit D is attached. The cost breakdown probably changed based on the bids. Project costs, as defined in the IGA include the cost of construction. A copy of this definition is attached. Any significant changes to the total direct construetion costs may result in a change in the relative share of the costs between the parties and require a recalculation of the respective shares. If the costs for the bus mall go up, the transit district can pay those additional costs. This would eliminate any need to change the
