50. REVENUE AGREEMENT WITH MARICOPA ASSOCIATION OF GOVERNMENTS FOR THE DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION OF NORTHERN PARKWAY: DYSART ROAD OVERPASS Approve Revenue Agreement (No. 14-NOR-10-03-E) between Maricopa County (the County), and the Maricopa Association of Governments (MAG) for the design and construction of Northern Parkway: Dysart Road Overpass, Maricopa County Department of Transportation MAG ALCP, Sub-Project #T427. Approval of this request will authorize the acceptance and expenditure of the funds (federal Surface Transportation Program funds), including any monies in excess of the currently estimated amount of $23,356,893.00, if adjusted by MAG for inflation. The purposes of this action are: 1) to be responsible for all project costs and submit invoices to MAG for reimbursement; 2) to be responsible for the completion of all surveys, design, plans and specifications, including contractor selection documents; 3) to conduct contractor selection process(es), award contract(s) for construction pursuant to the applicable laws, and provide necessary construction management and inspections; 4) if necessary, purchase or condemn right of way required for the completion of the Project; 5) be responsible for all utility relocations; and 6) review and approve invoices from its contractors and subcontractors before submitting invoices to MAG and the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT). County’s FY 2012-13 indirect cost rate is 8.0%. All costs under this agreement are for capital expenditures which are not subject to indirect cost recovery. Grant revenues are not local revenues for the purpose of the constitutional expenditure limitation, and therefore, expenditure of the funds is not prohibited by the budget law. The approval of this requested action does not alter the budget constraining the expenditures of local revenues duly adopted by the Board pursuant to A.R.S. Section 42-17105. In November 2003, the Maricopa Association of Governments (MAG) approved a Regional Transportation Plan (RTP) consisting of highway and public transit projects, among other projects. Some of the projects are funded through a transportation excise tax, approved by the Maricopa County voters in November 2004. Other projects are funded with federal-aid highway funding, based on their eligibility. MAG is required by law to adopt a program that provides for life cycle management of the funding and programming of the Arterial Life Cycle Program (ALCP), as part of the RTP. MCDOT Sub-Project T427, Northern Parkway: Dysart Road Overpass is included in the MAG RTP ALCP and is eligible for regional funding (federal Surface Transportation Program funds) on a reimbursable basis. Under the approved June 2013 ALCP update, $23,356,893.00, which may be adjusted annually by MAG for inflation, is available for reimbursement of design and construction costs in FY2016 through FY 2018. In the event of the availability of ALCP closeout funds, some of the reimbursement funding could be received earlier than anticipated. The design and construction of this Project will be budgeted in the FY 2015 -2018 Transportation Improvement Program. As the lead agency, the County has submitted the required MAG Project Overview and must also submit a BOS approved Revenue Agreement to MAG for execution. Without this agreement, the County cannot become authorized to receive the ALCP reimbursement funding. Reimbursements will be sent to the County as part of the ALCP.
