Consideration and Adoption of Ordinance No. 2019-38:  An ordinance of the City Council of the City of Flagstaff, authorizing the transfer of a parcel of real property and a temporary construction easement to the State of Arizona, Department of Transportation ("ADOT"), for the Route 66 Bridge Replacement Project, in exchange for substantially equal value; providing for delegation of authority, severability, repeal of conflicting ordinances, and establishing an effective date

This ordinance authorizes the transfer of City property to ADOT for the Route 66 Bridge Replacement Project and in exchange the City of Flagstaff will receive property from ADOT for the Soliere Avenue Water Transmission Main Project plus cash compensation.

The City will receive $173,395.00 and 4,716 square feet of right-of-way adjacent to Soliere Avenue from ADOT in exchange for granting 3,640 square feet of real property and a 20,240 square feet temporary construction easement on the City Hall south lawn adjacent to east Route 66.  ADOT obtained an appraisal of the City property interests to be acquired. The City will incur costs for restoration of the TCE area after construction is complete, but the value of the current lawn was taken into account as part of the compensation being paid by ADOT to City.  The City and ADOT each will receive substantially equal value as part of the exchange.

Soliere Avenue Water Transmission Main Project
The City of Flagstaff Water Services Division is preparing plans for a new 12" Zone "B" water transmission main that will provide a second source of water for development east of I-40 and Butler Avenue, and will include the future Canyon Del Rio Subdivision which is currently serviced by a single source of water. The new transmission main will provide the required water flows for domestic and fire services for the area. The new transmission main will start at the intersection of Soliere Avenue at Elk Run Street and extend down Soliere Avenue to the intersection of 4th Street and Sparrow Avenue. The property acquired from ADOT will be used to relocate an existing pressure reducing station located on the north side of I-40, to the south side of I-40, that provides a lower water pressure to the Zone "C" Continental Country Club area and will be the point of connection to our Zone "B" water system for the new transmission main.

Route 66 Bridge Replacement Project
ADOT seeks to acquire 3,460 square feet of property located in the area of the City Hall south lawn adjacent to east Route 66 and a 20,240 square foot temporary construction easement. This property is necessary for the construction of the Route 66 Bridge Replacement Project. The purpose of the project is to replace an aging bridge as well as accommodate the future construction of the City's Flagstaff Urban Trails System ("FUTS") and the United States Army Corps of Engineers drainage structure; the work includes excavation and backfill of the channel for these future projects.

1. Installation of a new 12" Zone "B" water transmission main for secondary water source for new development.
2. Replacement of the Rt. 66 Bridge to accommodate the FUTS and Rio De Flag drainage structure.

The exchange will help enable a new water transmission main and bridge replacement now, and future extension of the FUTS under Route 66 and drainage improvements.
