Americans with Disabilities Act.
2. The City represents and warrants to SFS that the City owns the Project and has
obtained all necessary rights from underlying property owners of the Property to design,
construct, own, operate, and maintain the Project in perpetuity. SFS, as lessee, pursuant to the
Lease dated July 6, 1988, (“Lease”) authorizes the City to construct the Project on the land

of this Agreement, including, but not limited to, the City’s failure to provide SFS access to the
Project pursuant to Paragraph 5 below. SFS and the Lessor(s) of the Property agree, subject to
the terms and conditions herein, to execute any and all required easements in favor of the City

Exhibit "B"
PROJECT MAINTENANCE STANDARDS
This Exhibit "B" provides the inspection and maintenance standards for the Project. The
purpose of these standards is to preserve the overall structural integrity, user safety, and
appearance of the Project.
I. GENERAL CLEAN-UP.
Sidewalks: Clean and functional, no trip hazard greater than '/z" deep.
Lighting: 90% of lights must be functioning.
Litter/Sweeping: Area is clear of litter. Project ramps, sidewalks, curbs, gutters and parking areas
to be swept but debris shall not be swept or blown into the roads.
Project deck areas shall be cleaned and washed at least once a year or as needed. For painted
surfaces, paint surfaces as needed for aesthetics and protect the underneath surface from
corrosion.
Turf Condition: Grass attractive and mowed.
Vegetation: Attractive and pruned.
Trash Receptacles: Clean and emptied on a regular basis.
Utilities: Maintain light fixtures and other necessary utilities.
II. USER SAFETY.
The Project should be inspected on a regular basis to verify that all user safety related elements
are in serviceable condition. Areas to inspect include:
A. All guardrails, handrails, rub rails, toe plates, fencing, and other features intended for
user safety should be checked to ensure they have not been structurally compromised.
There should be no sharp edges, burrs, protrusions or other abnormalities that could
result in bodily injury to the user.
B. Deck surfaces should be kept free of foreign objects and inspected to verify that no
damage has occurred that might present a trip or slip hazard.
III. STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY.
At least one inspection should be performed each year to ascertain the structural condition of the
Project. This visual inspection should include a review of the Project to assess whether physical
damage has occurred from an impact. This may include damage to the ends of the bridge from
maintenance or vehicles, or in the case of a bridge spanning the road, damage to the underside or
bottom chords from high vehicle collision or fires.
IV. DECOR
Any decor affixed to any element of the Project shall be compliant in all respects with applicable
law.
V. IMPROVEMENTS.
SFS may, in performing its maintenance obligations, make temporary or permanent
improvements to the Project (e.g., safety barriers, lighting, fencing, etc.) from time-to-time upon
written notice to the City, it being understood that (a) any such permanent improvements shall
comply with all applicable laws; and (b) any permanent improvements installed by SFS shall
become the exclusive property of the City at the time of installation.
VI. PROJECT DEFECTS.
SFS shall not be responsible for any maintenance obligation or other liability relating to or
resulting from patent and/or latent design and/or construction defects on the Project.
