Discussion and possible action on any and all matters regarding Resolution No. 2337. A Resolution of the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Luis, Arizona, approving an Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) between the State of Arizona and the City of San Luis authorizing the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) to administer the construction of the Cesar Chavez Boulevard roadway improvements project. (Jenny Torres, Acting City Manager)

The City of San Luis entered into multiple intergovernmental agreements with the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) for the right of way acquisition, design and appropriation of legislative funds for the Cesar Chavez Boulevard project. ADOT approved a contract with Jacobs Engineering for the design of the project. The design is scheduled to be completed by December 2024. APS and Lumen are scheduled to finalize their utility design by December and are tentatively scheduled to complete the relocation of APS poles and utilities by March 2025. ADOT is scheduled to go out for construction bids in March 2025. The City needs to enter into this IGA to authorize ADOT to administer the construction and funding allocated for the project. The City received a $25,000,000.00 Rural Surface Transportation Grant, an allocation of state legislative funds of $33,000,000.00 and the City of San Luis allocated $3,200,000.00 of the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds as part of the city match for the federal grant. The project cost shown in Exhibit A of the IGA estimates the cost to be $61,200,000.00.  ADOT will advertise, bid and award, and administer the construction phase of the project. The final cost estimate may exceed the initial estimate identified in Exhibit A, and in such case, the City will be responsible and agrees to pay the difference prior to the bid advertisement.

Staff recommends approval of Resolution No. 2337.
