The City of Glendale will administer construction, fund, and assume responsibility for the project. In addition, the City of Glendale will own, maintain, operate, and pay all utility costs associated with the HAWK pedestrian signal system. The agreement will authorize the installation of the HAWK that will allow pedestrians to cross the road safely.
Contract Term
This agreement will become effective as of the date it is approved by all of the parties and will remain in effect as long as the HAWK remains operational.
