Purpose and Recommended Action
Recommendation
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 the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT), Contract No. C-10971 to increase federal funding for the design and construction of a sidewalk along the north side of Camelback Road between 79th and 83rd Avenues.
body
Background
Camelback Road is an arterial street that connects 79th and 83rd Avenues. While there is curb and gutter on the north side of Camelback Road between 79th and 83rd Avenues, there are only sections of sidewalk. Completing the installation of sidewalk and associated Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) approved curb ramps will allow for enhanced access for school children and other pedestrians to an adjacent commercial and residential area as well as a nearby park.
In July 2016, the city entered into an IGA with ADOT for federal funding to support this project. Under the terms of the IGA, 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 cost proposals came in higher than the initial estimates. Staff requested and was granted an additional allocation of $46,207 in federal funds through the MAG Closeout process, which requires an additional $2,793 in local match. There is no change in estimated construction 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-10971 for the design and construction of a sidewalk along the north side of Camelback Road between 79th and 83rd Avenues.
Community Benefit/Public Involvement
Access to alternative modes of transportation is a direct quality-of-life benefit. Completing the sidewalk along the north side of Camelback Road will provide connectivity between numerous homes, schools and other nearby destinations. Providing options for all modes of transportation including convenient, continuous sidewalks helps to promote alternative transportation usage, which can lead to decreased traffic congestion and contribute to cleaner air.
The Citizen Bicycle Advisory Committee at their January 4, 2016 meeting and the Citizens Transportation Oversight Commission at their January 7, 2016 meeting were informed of and approve of this project.
Budget and Financial Impacts
Funding is available in the Fiscal Year 2016-17 Transportation Capital Improvement Plan budget. The increase in expenditures with ADOT for the local match is estimated at $2,793.
