59. AMENDMENT TO IGA WITH THE STATE OF ARIZONA REGARDING AMERICAN RECOVERY AND REINVESTMENT ACT FUNDS FOR A COUNTYWIDE PAVEMENT PRESERVATION PROJECT Approve Amendment No. 1 to the Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) between the State of Arizona, by and through the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT), and Maricopa County through its Department of Transportation (MCDOT), regarding the acquisition and distribution of federal American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA) funds for pavement preservation projects throughout the County. The Amendment would allow MCDOT to remit to the State the amount of $765,652 upon receipt of an invoice from ADOT for Construction Administration services required for Pavement Preservation (PAVE) Project, Sub-Project T322, utilizing an ADOT Consultant Contract. The IGA will be in effect from the date of recording by the Secretary of State and will remain in effect until the terms of the IGA are satisfied. The purpose for this amendment is to authorize MCDOT to remit $765,652 to ADOT in order for ADOT to pay AMEC, the consultant hired for construction administration of this project. ADOT is requiring MCDOT to pay ADOT the full cost of construction administration upon initiation of the project. However, the IGA previously approved by the Board of Supervisors on August 5, 2009 (Agenda Item # C-91-10-004-M-00) could not have anticipated this unique need, so it did not authorize direct payment to ADOT. Upon completion of the work, MCDOT would then request reimbursement of these funds through the normal federal process. Supervisory Districts: All (C-91-10-004-M-01)
