Agenda Item Text:
Approve Intergovernmental Agreement 11-037 between the State of Arizona and Cochise County for drainage and realignment improvements on Davis Road.
Background:
This proposed project is located in Cochise County, on Davis Road between SR 80 and SR 191. This 24 mile road connects the town of Tombstone, along SR 80, and McNeal, along SR 191, and serves commuter traffic, regional traffic and commercial traffic. Countless locations along Davis Road experience frequent flooding resulting in innumerable road closures. The proposed improvements are intended to increase all weather access along the road by adding drainage culverts and improving roadway geometrics.
Cochise County received a congressional earmark for critical drainage and roadway improvements for Davis Road in the amount of $2.3 million in 2005. These funds became fully available to the County in 2009. A 20 percent matching funds was required when the funds were awarded. Cochise County proceeded with project development to include design and project assessment. In 2006 Cochise County selected Stantec consultants to conduct an initial assessment of critical drainage and realignment needs along the Davis Rd. corridor. Six areas were identified and then narrowed down to three specific spot improvements at mileposts 5.1, 9.9 and 13.1.
As project design moved forward it became clear that additional funds would be needed to complete construction of the desired project. The County successfully applied for State Transportation Plan (STP) funds through SEAGO and the County was awarded an additional $3,423,321 in federal funds. The Board of Supervisors were briefed on the proposed Davis roadway improvements on August 23, 2011. In addition, the Board approved two IGA’s at that time for STP funds as well as for Coordinated Border Infrastructure (CBI) funds for a completed Project Assessment for the entire 24 mile Davis Rd. corridor. Staff have secured a total of $6,561,001 federal funds for Davis Rd. Staff worked with ADOT and FHWA to finalize the agreement for the use of the awarded high priority project funds. The combined fund sources from HPP and STP programs will be applied to right-of-way acquisition and construction of improvements. Match amounts will be requested prior to bid advertisement for each phase. The total county match for all three fund sources will be $416,582.

Department's Next Steps (if approved):
Once an approved IGA/JPA is in place, ADOT will work with Cochise County to finalize design plans and then will coordinate going out to bid for right-of-way acquisition and construction.
Impact of NOT Approving/Alternatives:
Awarded federal funds would not be available for this project improvement.
