134. IGA WITH ARIZONA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION FOR AID GRANT: WORK ZONE DATA EXCHANGE FOR COMMERCIAL MOTOR VEHICLES IN-CAB NOTIFICATIONS Approve the Intergovernmental Agreement between the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) and Maricopa County, to be administered by the Maricopa County Department of Transportation (MCDOT) for services related to the 2022 High Priority Program – Innovative Technology Deployment (HP-ITD) Grant – Work Zone Data Exchange (WZDx) for Commercial Motor Vehicles (CMVs) In-Cab Notifications. This Agreement shall become effective upon signing and dating of all Parties. The 2022 High Priority Program – Innovative Technology Deployment (HP-ITD) Grant, administered by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), is designed to promote the adoption of cutting-edge technologies in the commercial motor vehicle industry. The primary objectives of this grant program are to improve safety, increase the efficiency of motor carrier operations, and reduce regulatory burdens by supporting the deployment of innovative solutions that enhance the monitoring and enforcement of safety regulations. The grant award began on July 1, 2022, and ends on September 30, 2026. This is a one-time grant award. The total grant award is $1,687,795. The pass-through amount to MCDOT as a sub-recipient is $475,118. There is a 0% match amount. MCDOT’s indirect rate is 36.80%. The total grant for MCDOT’s indirect costs are estimated to be $64,443 and are not recoverable. $300,000 of MCDOT’s grant funds will be used for consulting costs and are not subject to indirect cost recovery. This was a competitively awarded grant. MCDOT will administer its own procurement and implementation of Smart Work Zone (SWZ) equipment and systems. This grant is for piloting innovative technologies to improve work zone safety and awareness and is part of MCDOT’s responsibility for roadway safety. This is not a mandated service. This project aims to deploy a work zone safety notification system that provides real-time alerts to commercial motor vehicle (CMV) drivers about active work zones through in-cab electronic devices. It will also share traffic data with existing advisory systems and pilot the national work zone data exchange (WZDx) protocols. Supervisory District No. 1, 2, 3, 4 & 5 (C-64-25-068-X-00)
