Executive Summary:
In May 2024, the City of Flagstaff applied for a Highway Safety Improvement (HSIP) grant for street lighting and retroreflective backplates along Highway 89 between Country Club Drive and Marketplace Avenue, valued at $2,700,000. All HSIP projects are required to be reviewed by a third-party consultant to validate cost estimates and ensure the proposed improvements are feasible. This review is valued at $40,000 and ADOT will cover 94.3% of the cost ($37,720), leaving the City to cover the remaining 5.7% ($2,280). The scoping and coordination with the third-party contractor will be administered by ADOT.
