NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration ofthe foregoing premises and the mutual covenants hereinafter contained, the parties, with intent to be legally bound, agree as follows: 1. The Commonwealth has made application to the Federal Highway Administration for certain federal funds to enable the Commonwealth to construct and implement the US 22 - MJSS and to make operational refinements to the US 22 - MJSS and associated signal timings during a contractually designated test period.
