WSDOT deems it to be in the best public interest to enter into this Lease,
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the terms, conditions, covenants, and
performances contained herein, IT IS MUTUALLY AGREED AS FOLLOWS:
1. PREMISES. WSDOT leases to TENANT, and TENANT hereby leases from WSDOT,
the premises (Premises) located in portions of Lot 2 of Section 24 and Lot 4 of Section 13,
Township 29, Range 2 West, W.M., and known to be a portion of the highway right of way of SR
101, Contractor's Gulch to Junction City, sheet 3 of 4 sheets, the Southeast Quarter of the
Southwest Quarter of Section 9 and the Southeast Quarter of the Northwest Quarter of Section 16,
Township 30 North, Range 1 West, W.M., and known to be a portion of the highway right of way
of SR 20, Chimacum Road to Port Townsend, AND in the West Half of Section 16 and the
Southwest Quarter of Section 9, all within Township 30 North, Range I West, W.M., and known
to be a portion of the highway right of way of EXHIBIT MAP - SR 20, Olympic Discovery Trail
Lease, as shown hachured on Exhibit A, attached hereto and by this reference incorporated herein.
It is further understood and agreed that WSDOT leases to TENANT, and TENANT hereby leases
from WSDOT that area located in Section 16, Township 30 North, Range 1 West, W.M., and
known to be a portion of the highway right of way of EXHIBIT MAP - SR 20, Olympic Discovery
Trail Lease, as shown cross hachured on Exhibit A. That area shown cross hachured is located
RES 419 Pagel of 20
Rev. 12;15
Lease No.: TR -03-13571
I.C. No.: 3-16-05117
beneath the existing WSDOT bridge structure. No rights are granted to, from, over and/or across
said bridge structure.
2. TERM. The term of this Lease is twenty (20) years, COMMENCING ON THE
DATE OF EXECUTION OF THIS LEASE BY WSDOT (Commencement Date).
3. RENEWAL. Upon expiration of the initial term, this Lease maybe renewed by TENANT
for two additional ten (10) year periods, (Renewal Period), at the discretion of WSDOT; provided
that, (A) TENANT is not in default and has not been in default during the term of this Lease; (B)
the property is not needed for a priority transportation purpose, as determined by WSDOT; (C)
TENANT's continued use under this Lease does not impair the safety or operation of WSDOT's
highway or facility, as solely determined by WSDOT; and (D) the terms and conditions of this
Lease conform to then -existing state policies or practices, laws, regulations, and contracts, or
provided, TENANT is willing to amend this Lease to bring it into compliance with such policies,
practices, laws, regulations, and contracts. The Renewal Period shall be on the same terns and
conditions as set forth herein, except as modified by any changes in policies, practices, laws,
regulations, or contracts and as reflected in a written amendment signed by both parties. TENANT
shall give written notice of its intent to renew this Lease for the Renewal Period(s) not less than
ninety (90) calendar days, but not more than six (6) months, prior to the expiration of the Lease,
or any extension thereof.
4. CONSIDERATION. In lieu of paying economic rent for the Premises, TENANT agrees
to provide other specific consideration which is deemed to be a highway benefit. The consideration
is: The separation of motor vehicle traffic from pedestrians, equestrians, or cyclists which will
materially increase motor vehicle safety and increase highway efficiency. For that section of the
trail located on State Route 20, between Mile Post (M.P.) 9.16 and 9.20, non -motorized traffic
currently uses the traveled lanes to cross the bridge. The trail design and construction will allow
all non -motorized users of the highway to exit the easterly traveled highway shoulder at M.F. 9.05
and re-enter at M.P. 9.8 1, and to exit the westerly traveled highway shoulder at M.P. 9.25 and re-
enter at M.P. 9.05, thus avoiding crossing said bridge structure.
For that section of the trail located on State Route 101, between M.P. 281.53 and M.P.
281.69, non -motorized traffic is presently directed onto a narrow shoulder. The trail will be
constructed behind a guardrail, on a built-up and widened shoulder, enhancing motor vehicle safety
and increasing highway efficiency in this right of way area.
5. TERMINATION BY WSDOT.
A. WSDOT may terminate this Lease, without penalty or further liability as follows:

TENANT or any other person or entity whatsoever should WSDOT exercise its right to terminate
this Lease, or any portion thereof, as provided herein. In addition to the terns of this Lease,
TENANT shall be solely liable for and shall hold harmless and defend the Washington State
Department of Transportation for any impacts to TENANT, the trail located on the Leased
Premises, or grant funding triggered by any WSDOT action or inaction taken pursuant to the terms
of this Lease, and TENANT shall be solely responsible for the payment of any claims, judgments,
terms, assessments, penalties, expenses, interest and similar costs or charges, including all
WSDOT costs incurred, including attorneys fees should WSDOT exercise any of its rights
provided in this Lease.

construct and maintain the ODT on WSDOT property and is required by the trail construction

Analysis/Strategic Goals/Pro's £t Con's:
This project is included in the officially adopted 2017-2022 Transportation Improvement
Program and the 2017 Annual Construction Program as Item No. 7. This project will complete
a section of the ODT from Old Gardiner Rd to Salmon Creek.
Fiscal Impact/Cost Benefit Analysis:
This agreement permits the County to construct and maintain improvements on WSDOT land.

funding.
Recommendation:
The Board is requested to sign (3) copies of the Construction Agreement and return (3) copies
