Report
Summary
ADOT's US 60 - 35th Avenue / Indian School Road Project will replace the existing traffic interchange allowing better flow of traffic. The Water Services Department owns water and wastewater infrastructure in the project area. The City-owned facilities have prior rights and must be relocated by ADOT at their cost. A majority of the water and wastewater relocation work will be completed with ADOT's project construction; however, several large diameter water mains require relocation prior to ADOT's construction due to water system coordination and impacts. The City will hire a Job Order Contractor to complete the pre-project water relocations and a consultant to provide inspection to affected facilities. ADOT will reimburse the City for the construction and inspection costs in an amount not to exceed $17.1 million.
Contract Term
The terms and conditions of this agreement shall remain in effect until the work is complete and final repayment is received.
Financial Impact
The City will be reimbursed in an amount not to exceed $17.1 million.
