Agenda Item Text:
Briefing on all Federal Aide and in-house projects related to Davis Road
Background:
We were awarded a Federal earmark (Section 115 funds) of $2.6 million in 2005 for improvements to Davis Road. We knew that the amount would not come close to covering the entire road, so we focused on spot locations that would improve the drainage and alignment issues. Because of the use of federal funds, the review process requires that ADOT be involved at every step of the way and nothing happens until they have approved various stages. This is the first project of this kind that staff has been through, so it has been a huge learning curve for us to get familiar with the federal review process. It is incredible how much time and extra money it takes and we cannot even start negotiating for right-of-way until ADOT gives us the go ahead. Karen Lamberton has also been able to secure additional funding for the project locations through SEAGO. We also recently were told by El Paso Natural Gas that the County will have to pay to lower a major line at MP 5.16 at a cost of about $500K. Part of the Work Session will summarize where we are at on these projects, the various funding sources and next steps.
The other purpose of the Session is to give you an update on the Annual Work Plan so far and some proposed amendments that we would like to bring forward and discuss. Some of the possible amendments include: Davis and maybe a change in one of the mile post location studies, Double Adobe Rd.– replace a bridge with culverts (per the ADOT Bridge Assessment), other bridge issues, Ramsey Road widening cost proposal from consultant, delete one of the Moson design projects and add Gregory Road re-shape/drainage as a minor amendment.
