Purpose and Recommended Action
This is a request for City Council to waive reading beyond the title and adopt a resolution authorizing the City Manager to enter into Amendment No. One to an Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) with Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT), Contract No. C-10968, for installation of Emergency Vehicle Pre-Emption (EVP) systems citywide.
Background
This project is to install EVP at 58 high-priority intersections. 48 will be located at major intersections using existing conduit with no ground disturbance. The remaining 10 are located at fire station access signals and along high priority corridors. The project also includes one Central Management Software (CMS), one CMS maintenance agreement, 58 radio units, and 57 vehicle equipment retrofits (37 for Glendale and 20 for neighboring jurisdictions that respond to emergencies within the city limits). This project is identified in the Maricopa Association of Governments (MAG) Transportation Improvement Program, and federal funds for design have been secured for federal Fiscal Year 2016, and for construction for federal Fiscal Year 2018.
In July 2016, the city entered into an IGA with ADOT for federal funding to support this project. Under the terms of the Agreement, ADOT would advertise, bid, award, and administer the scoping, design, and construction of the project. The city was required to provide a 5.7% match of the capped federal funding and 100% of all costs that exceed the cap.
Analysis
The design and ADOT review proposals came in higher than initial estimates and staff requested, and were granted, an additional allocation of $41,339 in federal funds through MAG Closeout process; which requires an additional $2,499 in local match. There is no change in estimated installation costs at this time.
ADOT requires a Change Order whenever the amount of federal funding is increased.
Previous Related Council Action
On June 28, 2016, Council authorized entering into an IGA with ADOT, Contract No. C-10968, for design and installation of Emergency Vehicle Pre-emption citywide.
On October 6, 2015, staff presented the opportunity to apply for federal funds for the EVP project through the MAG programming process and received direction from City Council to proceed with the application.
Community Benefit/Public Involvement
Residents and guests in Glendale expect reasonable response times in the case of an emergency. Technology enhancements will continue to provide efficient traffic management for the traveling public and emergency response units, helping to achieve this goal.
Budget and Financial Impacts
Funding is available in the Fiscal Year 2016-17 Capital Improvement Plan budget. The increase in expenditures with ADOT for the local match is estimated at $2,499.
