F-5. RESOLUTION FOR GUADALUPE FLOOD RETARDING STRUCTURE REHABILITATION PROJECT Adopt Resolution FCD 2014R001 for the Guadalupe Flood Retarding Structure (FRS) Rehabilitation Project (Project [#205]), authorizing the Chief Engineer and General Manager of the Flood Control District of Maricopa County (District) to negotiate Project Intergovernmental Agreements; include Project funding in the District’s current and future Five-Year Capital Improvement Programs; advertise, select, negotiate, and award contracts for Project Engineering and Construction Services; conduct permitting and public involvement activities and acquire temporary land rights, subject to the ratification and approval of the Board. The Project’s current estimated cost is $2,500,000 and Project implementation is expected to occur over a 2 to 3 year period. The District anticipates entering agreements with the NRCS who is the federal funding partner on the Project. The Guadalupe FRS, completed in 1976, protects the Town of Guadalupe and portions of Phoenix and Tempe from flooding. Concept plans for the Project include the replacement of the intake structure, slip lining of the dam outlet pipe and installation of a filter diaphragm around the outlet pipe in the dam. The total project cost is currently estimated to be $2,500,000. The federally eligible cost will be cost shared by the NRCS and the District at 65% and 35%, respectively. NRCS does not cost share on outlets downstream of a dam embankment, therefore the estimated total Project cost that is eligible for federal cost share funding is $1,154,000. The estimated NRCS cost share for this agreement is $750,100 and the Districts are $403,900. The total District cost is estimated to be $1,749,900 for the Project. Project timing is dependent upon funding availability. This Agenda Item impacts supervisorial districts 1 & 5. (C-69-15-015-6-00)
