TITLE
The Mayor and City Council shall discuss and take action on approval of an Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) between the City of Maricopa and the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) for the design and construction of the widening of State Route 347 (SR347) between Interstate 10 (I-10) and the Maricopa city limits. Discussion and Action.
AGENDA ITEM DESCRIPTION
This project includes the widening of SR 347 between I-10 and the northern boundary of the City of Maricopa. The total cost of the widening Project is currently projected to be $134,832,000, and the City will allocate a total of $50,000,000 to the Project. This amount includes a contribution from Pinal County which will be covered in a separate agreement. If the final Project exceeds the initial estimate, the State is responsible for and agrees to pay any costs exceeding the estimate with the exception of City-requested scope of work changes.
Entering into this IGA is necessary for ADOT to place the Project on its Five-Year Plan, and to complete this project. Moving this project forward is in the best interest of the City of Maricopa and will improve the health, safety and general welfare of the public.
