  2. Reject Amendment No. 1 will forfeit the opportunity for work to be completed at this time and require the City to perform and fund the work. 

Background and History:

ADOT has programmed, planned, and designed a project to replace the existing bridge that crosses the Rio de Flag at Route 66. The ADOT project is scheduled to take place during the construction seasons of 2020-2021. 
 
The Rio de Flag Flood Control project is designing a Flagstaff Urban Foot Trail and the main stem (drainage structure) to extend beneath the Rt. 66 bridge. The depth of the drainage structure is below the existing channel elevation and the F.U.T.S is at or near the channel elevation. The City and ADOT have been coordinating a plan to construct the F.U.T.S and drainage structure in a safe and efficient manner.
 
As part of the ADOT’s process, several City public utilities have been identified and are in conflict.  ADOT had required the City to relocate the utilities allowing for a clear corridor.  The relocation of the utilities is part of the utility clearance process.  The City procured consultant services for the design of the utility relocation and procured construction services to construct the utility relocations in the spring of 2020.  Included with the construction was the removal of temporary asphalt and replacement with Portland Cement Concrete Pavement (PCCP).  Due to the traffic conditions related to detours and measures to cure for the strength of the PCCP, the work was not completed.  The City requested and ADOT agreed to include the PCCP work with the ADOT project and have the cost absorbed into the funding that has already been transferred to ADOT.

The City’s Change Order Committee reviewed and approved the PCCP work as a Change Order on February 4, 2021. 

Key Considerations:

Approval of original ADOT IGA #19-0007325 and Resolution 2019-51, which provides the terms and conditions of the original agreement between the City of Flagstaff and ADOT.  Review and approval of the PCCP work by the City’s Change Order Committee. The cost of the PCCP work will be absorbed by the City’s original contribution amount. 

Community Benefits and Considerations:

The cost of the PCCP work will be absorbed by the City’s original contribution amount.  There will be no additional cost associated with the Rio de Flag Flood Control Project for the PCCP work.  The City will be responsible to pay or be reimbursed for any difference between the estimated and actual costs for the ADOT project associated with the excavation and backfill line item as already outlined and approved in the original ADOT IGA #19-0007325 and Resolution 2019-51.
 
ADOT provided a cost estimate for the original IGA contribution amount.  The cost was based on ADOT’s past projects with the appropriate markups for engineering and administration.    

Community Involvement:

ADOT will be managing the project and overseeing the effects from construction.
