91. COMPETITION IMPRACTICABLE PROCUREMENT WITH AZTEC ENGINEERING GROUP FOR PHASE II OF ARCHAEOLOGICAL INVESTIGATION Approve the selection of AZTEC Engineering consultants/archaeologists to perform the Phase II work since they performed the Phase I archaeological investigation (Competition Impracticable). The selection of a new consultant to perform the Phase II archaeological recovery work would require new permits, delay right-of-way acquisition, and construction as well as add additional cost to protect the archaeological site while a new consultant is selected. Also approve an increase to Consultant Services Contract No. 2016-033, with AZTEC Engineering, to perform the Phase II archaeology work for Maricopa County Department of Transportation, Project Number TT0248 Deer Valley Road: El Mirage Road to 109th Avenue, for a sum not-to-exceed $549,336. Funds are budgeted in Transportation Improvement Program Capacity Projects, Sub-Project TT0248. MCDOT Project TT0248 will construct a new four lane arterial with center turn lane and bridge across and Agua Fria River. The new road would run from Deer Valley Road at 109th Avenue to the intersection of Williams Road and El Mirage Road. The project construction cannot avoid impacting the archaeology site designated AZ T: 7: 375 (ASM). To comply with state and federal law, a Phase I archaeological investigation was completed at the site. Based on the findings, it was determined that Phase II archaeological work is necessary prior to construction. (C-64-18-035-5-00)
