Agenda Item Text:
Approve IGA 12-110I between the State of Arizona and Cochise County for the Glenn Road Jug-Handle Project.
Background:
This proposed project is located in Cochise County, on SR 92 between Canyon de Flores and Glenn Road. A raised median has been proposed with two truck turnaround features located at Golden Acres (within the City of Sierra Vista boundaries) and on Glenn Road. ADOT would acquire any additional right-of-way for the site, design and complete the work, and then turn back the jug-handle turnaround to the County. The overall design standard for the roadway cross-section will meet or exceed ADOT standards.
The Glenn Rd. intersection is just outside the current Sierra Vista city boundaries. This area is within the future annexation growth area for the City of Sierra Vista and the County has worked closely with the City of Sierra Vista to ensure that the design features for the Glenn Road jug-handle turnaround met with the City of Sierra Vista’s design standards and matched the work being done on the Canyon de Flores extension.
Most of this new feature is within existing County right-of-way: any new right-of-way that is needed will be acquired by the State. This IGA/JPA is to formalize agreements by the County to take in the completed project and provide future maintenance of this facility while it is remains within our control and jurisdiction. Given the standard at which this new feature will be constructed maintenance on this portion of Glenn Road is expected to be minimal for the next ten to fifteen years.

Department's Next Steps (if approved):
The State will finalize design of the SR92 Safety Median, including the Glenn Road jug-handle turnaround, with anticipated construction in the summer of 2013.
Impact of NOT Approving/Alternatives:
The State may possibly delay or remove the Glenn Road jug-handle from the project and would have to follow the requirements of ARS § 28-7209 to convey any newly acquire right-of-way and the jug-handle turnaround to the County.
