Fort Peck PSA.pdf

The document is a Project Specific Agreement (PSA) between the Fort Peck Assiniboine and Sioux Tribes and the Montana Department of Transportation (MDT) for the 2025 Epoxy Pavement Markings project. The project involves epoxy pavement markings on US-2 (N-1) from RP 588.5 to RP 611.5 and RP 613.25 to RP 626.1, with additional markings on MT-13 (P-32) from RP 0.0 to RP 6.3. The project is scheduled for Spring/Summer 2025, with a total project length of 77.95 miles, of which 42.15 miles are located within the Fort Peck Reservation boundaries.

The agreement includes provisions for a 3% Tribal TERO fee of the contract amount for work within reservation boundaries, which MDT will collect and remit to the Tribes. MDT will assist in prospecting Tribal-owned gravel sources within a reasonable distance of the project. The contractor will be responsible for securing right-of-way, paying gravel royalties to the Tribe, constructing access roads, and adhering to the Montana State Weed Law. The project emphasizes cultural awareness, with a preconstruction conference planned to discuss issues related to working within the reservation boundaries, and the Tribes will be invited to attend and participate.
