53. IGA WITH THE TOWN OF QUEEN CREEK AND THE CITY OF MESA FOR A JOINT STUDY FOR THE INTERSECTION OF GERMANN ROAD AND SOSSAMAN ROAD Approve the Intergovernmental Agreement between Maricopa County, Town of Queen Creek and the City of Mesa for a joint study (design concept report) for the intersection of Germann Road and Sossaman Road. The purpose of the study is to evaluate the intersection of Germann Road and Sossaman Road, extending ½ mile in each direction and developing a design concept for the intersection. This will include consideration of an at-grade crossing of the Union Pacific Railroad and traffic impacts that a new intersection would have on adjacent roadways such as Pecos Road and Rittenhouse Road. In addition, the study will identify limits for right of way preservation and underground utility impacts. The study is anticipated to begin in fiscal year 2014 with the Town of Queen Creek leading the project. Once the study is completed, any further work to the intersection will be handled through future negotiations and potentially a new Intergovernmental Agreement. The cost of the study is estimated at $150,000 with the County contributing one-third (1/3) of the costs up to a maximum amount of $50,000. The City of Mesa will also contribute one-third (1/3) of the costs up to a maximum amount of $50,000. The Town of Queen Creek will contribute (1/3) of the costs plus any additional costs over a total DCR cost of $150,000. Supervisory Districts No. 1 and 2 (C-64-14-099-M-00)
