Title
Intergovernmental Agreement with Arizona Department of Transportation to Reimburse City of Phoenix for Street Repairs Along Liberty Lane and Additional Traffic Signage Adjacent to South Mountain Freeway/Congressman Ed Pastor Freeway Loop 202 (Ordinance S-47835)
Description
Request that the City Council authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to enter into an Intergovernmental Agreement with the Arizona Department of Transportation to reimburse the City of Phoenix for street repairs along Liberty Lane and the cost of additional signage fabrication and installation adjacent to the South Mountain Freeway/Congressman Ed Pastor Freeway Loop 202 corridor.
Report
Summary
The purpose of this Intergovernmental Agreement is for the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) to reimburse the City for two freeway related expenses: street repairs that were a direct result of the waterline relocation and the installation of additional roadway signage.
As part of the construction of the South Mountain Freeway/Congressman Ed Pastor Freeway Loop 202 (Loop 202), ADOT was required to relocate a 48-inch wide City waterline from Pecos Road to Liberty Lane between Desert Foothills Parkway and 15th Street. Due to the condition of the street after the new waterline was installed, the City elected to mill and overlay Liberty Lane instead of using micro seal. After ADOT performed the waterline relocation and the City performed the street repairs, ADOT agreed to reimburse the City for the pavement preservation measures.
After the Loop 202 opened, the City identified missing signage along the freeway corridor. To ensure public safety and a quick installation, the City purchased and installed signage in the median islands at Van Buren Street, Buckeye Road, Lower Buckeye Road, and 59th Avenue (south of Lower Buckeye Road). ADOT agreed to reimburse the City for this work.
Financial Impact
The City will be reimbursed in an amount not to exceed $60,413.
