Report
Summary
The Interstate 10 (I-10) Broadway Curve Improvement Project is planned to improve a segment of I-10 between the I-10 and Interstate 17 (I-17) Split Traffic Interchange and Congressman Ed Pastor Freeway (Loop 202-South Mountain Freeway). The Water Services Department (WSD) owns water and wastewater infrastructure throughout the I-10 Broadway Curve Improvement Project area. Some of the WSD-owned facilities were installed prior to I-10 being constructed, therefore those facilities have prior rights and must be relocated at the expense of the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT). ADOT will relocate and protect existing WSD facilities with prior rights at their cost. The City will hire a consultant to provide inspections to affected facilities and ADOT will reimburse the City for the inspection costs associated with prior right relocations and protection of existing prior right facilities in close proximity to the new project improvements in an amount not to exceed $135,000.

The agreement will begin on or about April 1, 2022 and the term of this agreement is through Dec. 31, 2024.
