SUPPLEMENTAL AGREEMENT
WHEREAS, an expressway illumination agreement has been entered into
between the State of Texas and the City of Corpus Christi covering the Construction,
Maintenance and Operation of an illumination system on S.H. 358 from the east end of
the Airline Road Interchange to the east end of the Ayers Street Interchange and in
the aforesaid agreement the City of Corpus Christi and the State have agreed to each
pay a portion of the cost of the electrical energy for the roadway illumination system,
and
WHEREAS, the Texas Highway Department proposes to install overhead guide
signs complete with illumination for this section of S.H. 358 and since it would be
more economical to utilize the transformer stations designed to supply power to the
expressway illumination circuits rather than install separate power sources fo-- the
overhead guide sign illumination;
NOW, THEXFORE, it is hereby agreed between the parties hereto that the
aforesaid agreements be modified to the extent as follows:
1. All cost of construction of the overhead guide signs and sign
illumination system as provided by the signing project plans and specifications,
such as sign luminaires, conduits, and electrical conductor will be financed by the
State.
2. The State hereby agrees to reimburse the City in the amount of 1007
of the cost of electrical energy used by that portion of the overhead sign illumina-
tion system connected to the roadway illumination system transformer stations. The
quantity of electrical energy used by the overhead sign illumination system shall be
determined by multiplying the sum of the manufacturer's rated input wattages, as
shown on the project plans of that portion of the overhead sign illumination
system connected to the roadway illumination system transformer stations, by the
number of hours the lamps are energized divided by 1000. The number of hours that
the lamps are energized shall be from dusk until dawn each night in the year, the
total burning time for each lamp being approximately thirty -nine hundred and fifty
(3,950) hours during each year.
3. The State's payment for the electrical energy cost for that portion
of the overhead sign illumination system connected to the roadway illumination system
transformer stations shall be based upon the minimum unit rates charged the City under
the City's contract with the power agency supplying electrical energy to the City.
The City will forward the State two copies of its existing contract with the power
agency for electrical energy, and thereafter will furnish two copies of subsequent
contracts as the existing or governing control is terminated and new contracts are
executed.
4. The State further agrees to maintain the overhead guide signs and the
overhead guide sig: illumination system including the circuits from the overhead
sign mounts to the roadway illumination system transformer stations where connections'
are made for power, and any circuits and service poles installed byrhe State specifi-
cally for the purpose of furnishing electrical energy to the overhead guide signs.
5. This agreement shall remain in force for a period of two years from
the date of execution, and it shall be understood by both parties that at the end of
this two year period and each succeeding two year period the agreement will be
automatically renewed for two years unless terminated in writing by either party 30
days prior to the termination date.
