98. ACCEPT AND EXPEND FEDERAL AID AWARD FOR (TE083) LOOP 101 READINESS PROJECT (Supervisorial Districts: 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5) Authorize the Maricopa County Department of Transportation (MCDOT) to accept federal funding reimbursements as approved by the Maricopa Association of Governments (MAG) and expend the grant funds for the Department of Transportation: Transportation System Management Project, sub-project TE083 Loop 101 Readiness Project up to the total cost of the project. In association with the Maricopa Association of Governments, this project will support the implementation of the Loop 101 Mobility Concept and Integrated Corridor Management (ICM) corridors applications required during freeway incidents with installation taking place in Maricopa County. The project will include support for the ITS infrastructure through the procurement of ITS equipment for partner agencies and will also enhance various features within ARIS to improve traffic management with a focus on ICM support. The estimated construction cost of the project is $2,064,125.00. MAG has authorized $1,946,470.00 in federal reimbursement funds available beginning in FY 2026. MCDOT’s local 5.7% match portion is $117,655.00 and will be absorbed by the department’s transportation operations budget. The total project cost of $2,074,125.00 includes $10,000.00 of funds provided by MCDOT previously used for Preliminary Engineering and are not part of the requested Procurement cost in this authorization. The grant awarded is a one-time award. There are no future or ongoing contributions required after the grant period ends. The grant does not fulfill a mandated service that the department is required to perform. The grant award is a competitively bid, and other eligible agencies may or may not bid on this grant award. MCDOT’s FY 2026 indirect cost rate is 31.38%. All costs under this agreement are for capital expenditures 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. (C-64-26-174-X-00)
