Report
Summary
As part of the State’s Project to widen SR Loop 101 from I-17 to Pima Road, the Street Transportation Department (Streets) has requested that the State install two three-inch conduits at Loop 101 and 7th Street. This conduit is a significant part of the communication infrastructure associated with the traffic signal system and one of the fiber backbones of the City system. At a later date, Streets will install and connect pull boxes outside of ADOT’s right-of-way to connect the new fiber. The City will be solely responsible for all costs associated with installation of the new conduit and will be responsible for future maintenance.
Contract Term
The IGA will expire upon completion of the Project and once all IGA-related payments are made. Any provisions for maintenance will be perpetual unless the conduit is removed in the future.
Financial Impact
The cost associated with this agreement will not exceed $160,000. Funding is available in the Street Transportation Department's Capital Improvement Program.
