Report
Summary
The project consists of a new containment berm along the north edge of the Shaw Butte Mountain Service Tower Access Road, extending the existing containment berm easterly to the wash at the Shaw Butte Trailhead entrance. The proposed containment berm has a four-foot wide top width with side slopes along the access road. Floodplain Management staff is recommending the Shaw Butte Mountain Service Tower Access Road Drainage Improvement Project be completed through a funding partnership between the City, FCDMC and APS. The Shaw Butte Mountain Service Tower Access Road is primarily used by Maricopa County and APS. The City will be the lead agency for the project.
Financial Impact
The overall project cost is approximately $80,000. The FCDMC’s cost share, through reimbursement of City costs, is 75 percent ($60,000), and the City's cost share is 25 percent ($20,000). The City's cost share would be funded by a separate agreement between the City and APS.
