Report
Summary
The I-17 Drainage Improvement Project upgraded cross street drainage facilities along I-17 from Greenway Road to the Arizona Canal Diversion Channel north of Dunlap Avenue. The Water Services Department owns a 48-inch water main crossing I-17 at Greenway Road. This water main was installed after I-17 was constructed. Therefore, the water main does not have prior rights and if in conflict, must be relocated at the expense of the City. Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) modified their design and construction to protect the existing 48-inch water main in place. The City will reimburse ADOT for the construction costs associated with the modifications.
Contract Term
The term of this agreement is one year from the effective date.
Financial Impact
The total value for this agreement will not exceed $45,000. Funding for this project is available in the Water Services Department's Capital Improvement Program Budget.
