86. RESCIND AND APPROVE IGA WITH TOWN OF QUEEN CREEK AND TOWN OF GILBERT FOR IMPROVEMENTS TO OCOTILLO ROAD AND POWER ROAD Rescind the action taken by the Board of Supervisors (Board) on June 10, 2015 (C-64-15-122-M-00) whereby the Board approved an Intergovernmental Agreement between Maricopa County, the Town of Queen Creek and the Town of Gilbert for the intersection improvements of Ocotillo Road and Power Road; and approve a new version of the Intergovernmental Agreement between Maricopa County, the Town of Queen Creek and the Town of Gilbert for the intersection improvements of Ocotillo Road and Power Road. Also, approve the addition of the sub project T519 Ocotillo Road at Power Road to the Partnership Support (PSUP) project for FY 2016. The action requested above is proposed because, after the Board took its June 10, 2015 action to approve the Intergovernmental Agreement for the intersection improvements of Ocotillo Road and Power Road, the partner municipalities requested that new language be added to the Agreement. The proposed new language would provide that Maricopa County’s contribution would not include any project enhancements by the partner municipalities. (Agreement Paragraph 4.3) “Enhancements” means any project features over and above the design requirements set forth in the Maricopa Association of Governments (MAG) standard specifications. The new language also clarifies the limits of current Queen Creek right-of-way (Paragraph C) and deletes an unnecessary reference (Paragraph 10). The proposed new version of the Agreement is now provided with this current proposed action. Under the Intergovernmental Agreement, the County will submit a payment of $42,000 to the Town of Queen Creek towards the installation of a traffic signal and striping at the intersection. Funds are available in the FY 2016 Partnership Support (PSUP) project reserve for this project. The Town of Queen Creek intends to construct the north half-street improvements of Ocotillo Road from Recker to Power Road, which includes a box culvert across the Sonoqui Wash, traffic signals at Power Road, utility relocations, and drainage improvements. The estimated project cost is $3,580,000, and based on the jurisdictional location of the intersection, the County will be responsible for one-quarter of the cost of the intersection improvements or $42,000. The Town will be responsible for the remaining balance of the costs. The Town of Queen Creek will lead the project and annex the intersection 30 days after the final acceptance of the project. The Town of Queen Creek will be responsible for the maintenance and operations of the intersection and traffic signal when the project is complete. The terms of the agreement are in effect as of Board of Supervisors approval and shall remain in full force and effect until all stipulations have been satisfied, except that it may be amended upon written agreement by both parties. Supervisory District No. 1 (C-64-15-142-M-00)
