(Jenny Torres, Assistant City Manager)

The City of San Luis was awarded $1,034,975.00 from the Fiscal Year 2023 Allocation of Highway Infrastructure Programs (HIP) Congressional Directed Spending Projects (Earmarks) and $2,787,435.00 from the AZ SMART fund for the design of the Cesar Chavez Boulevard project. The federal funding requires a 5.7% match in the amount of $62,560.00 and the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) requires a cost of $9,975.00 for the Project Development Administration (PDA) to administer the design of this project.  ADOT conducted a Request for Proposals (RFP) to contract with an engineering firm to design the roadway improvements along Cesar Chavez Boulevard from Escondido Street to Avenue E. Jacobs Engineering was selected as the most qualified company and are ready to proceed upon this IGA being approved. The design will take approximately 12 months to design upon notice to proceed. The preliminary design and right of way acquisition for the project are addressed in the existing IGA 11-206-I and amendment IGA 2-0008867-I. The construction phase of the project will be addressed in a separate agreement.
