F-1. IGA WITH CITY OF GLENDALE AND MCDOT FOR NORTHERN PARKWAY DRAINAGE IMPROVEMENTS PROJECT Approve IGA FCD 2010A008 for design, ROW acquisition, construction and construction management, and operations and maintenance of the Northern Parkway Drainage Improvements project (Project [#470]) between City of Glendale, MCDOT, and FCD. MCDOT is the lead agency for design and construction, FCD is bearing 50% of the Project costs, and City of Glendale will be responsible for operation and maintenance of the facility. The Project total cost including design, ROW acquisition, construction and construction management is expected to be $15 million, and the District’s share is estimated to be $7,500,000. The IGA will be effective upon signature by the Board and will remain in effect for 10 years or until the Project is completed, which is anticipated to be September 2012. The White Tanks Loop 303 Area Drainage Master Plan Update (ADMPU) identified flooding problems in the area north of and adjacent to Luke AFB, and recommended solutions to these problems. This Project will construct a regional channel adjacent to the proposed Northern Parkway to capture the 100-year flood from the upstream watershed and convey the floodwaters to the Agua Fria River via the Dysart Drain. The channel, which is designed as a multi-use facility, will also provide an outfall for Northern Parkway road drainage. The Dysart Drain connection also provides an outfall channel for future FCD projects serving the upstream watershed area. This cooperation between agencies created substantial cost savings for all parties and facilitated implementation of a portion of the White Tanks Loop 303 ADMPU. This project is located in District 4. (C-69-11-060-3-00)
