98. IGA WITH TOWN OF GILA BEND FOR SCOTT AVENUE WASH EMERGENCY REPAIR Approve Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) FCD 2024A017 between the Town of Gila Bend (TOWN) and the Flood Control District of Maricopa County (DISTRICT) for the Scott Avenue Wash Emergency Repair Project (PROJECT). This Agreement shall become effective as of the date it has been executed by all PROJECT PARTNERS and shall expire four years from that date. On August 13 and 14, 2021, rains in and around the TOWN caused flooding of numerous homes and businesses. A number of homes in the TOWN were heavily impacted by the flooding. The DISTRICT began the design of the Scott Avenue Wash Emergency Repair (PROJECT) in March 2022 and construction was completed in February 2023. The PROJECT repaired damage caused by the August 2021 storm event and included improvements to increase the channel capacity and reduce the potential for erosion. The improvements included clearing the debris from the main channel of the Scott Avenue Wash and reconstructing it using a combination of box culverts, L-walls, and the addition of riprap for erosion protection. An Operation & Maintenance (O&M) Plan for the PROJECT was developed, and the most current version is dated May 2025. The DISTRICT, with the prior written approval of the Town, may update the Operation & Maintenance Plan. This Agenda Item impacts Supervisorial District 5. (C-69-25-037-X-00) 99.
