Application Title Identification Number Application Status: UNSUBMITTED Project Overview City of Buckeye McDowell Road Reconstruction BKY-26-ARRP-003 Project Description Briefly provide a general description of the project Project Type What type of project is this? Project Phases What project phases is the agency seeking funding for? Project Location Provide information about where your project is located Project Details The proposed project along McDowell Road, an arterial roadway, consists of the complete removal and reconstruction of asphalt paving for McDowell Road from Tonopah Salome Highway east to Sun Valley Parkway (an arterial roadway that connects to Interstate-10 (I-10)). The project will reconstruct a 28- foot-wide road that flares to match the existing cattle guard, and the curb returns on Sun Valley Parkway. The existing pavement turns onto Tonopah Salome Highway, and then the road turns to gravel. This project would only replace the area that is on McDowell Road and 100 yards around the turn. The road beyond the 100 yards would be milled but not repaved. Any millings available will be placed to the west on the gravel road. The current roadway surface is very poor, with a Pavement Condition Index (PCI) number of 35. The PCI rating system has a scale of 0 to 100, with 0 being “failing” and 100 being “good”. The PCI number of 35 falls within the “very poor” rating. If this roadway does not undergo the proposed reconstruction, the rating will continue to worsen to the point where the roadway may be considered “serious” or “failed”. All striping will comply with the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) standards. All construction shall be according to the City of Buckeye (City) and Maricopa Association of Governments (MAG) standards and shall utilize City-approved mix designs. This roadway reconstruction will improve roadway safety through improved vehicle handling, increased road durability and longevity, and promote regional roadway connectivity and integrity.

Project Scoping Please describe any scoping done to date. Design The goal of this project is to reconstruct the section of roadway on McDowell Road from Tonopah Salome Highway eastbound to Sun Valley Parkway. This area has been identified and rated as being in “very poor” condition, showing a PCI number of 35. The roadway is currently experiencing several high- severity potholes, alligator pattern cracking, block cracking with fatigue cracking in the wheel paths, rutting, raveling, and several longitudinal cracking areas, causing safety concerns for all roadway users. It is the City’s goal to completely rehabilitate this roadway through reconstruction. The immediate area this project serves includes commercial and residential traffic. The proposed project along McDowell Road, an arterial roadway, consists of the complete removal and reconstruction of asphalt paving for McDowell Road from Tonopah Salome Highway east to Sun Valley Parkway (an arterial roadway that connects to Interstate-10 (I-10)). The project will reconstruct a 28-foot-wide road that flares to match the existing cattle guard, and the curb returns on Sun Valley Parkway. The existing pavement turns onto Tonopah Salome Highway, and then the road turns to gravel. This project would only replace the area that is on McDowell Road and 100 yards around the turn. The road beyond the 100 yards would be milled but not repaved. Any millings available will be placed to the west on the gravel road. All striping will comply with MUTCD standards. Roadway reconstruction will ensure proper drainage to prevent standing water and reduce hydroplaning during a rain event. All construction shall be according to the City and MAG standards and shall utilize City-approved mix designs. This roadway reconstruction will improve roadway safety through improved vehicle handling, increased road durability and longevity, and promote regional roadway connectivity and integrity. This roadway is an access point directly off of Sun Valley Parkway, a super arterial roadway in Buckeye. Project Design Please describe any design done to date. The design of this project is covered through the existing City design standards and the Maricopa Association of Governments’ Public Works design standards. Buckeye considers this reconstruction project a “like-for-like” and does not have engineered plans. Buckeye will address and prioritize Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)-compliant features that may be available, needed, and/or required. Road Safety Assessment (RSA) If an RSA has been done for the project, please describe. Environmental A Road Safety Assessment was completed and determined the PCI number to be 35, which is considered “very poor”. City staff have repaired numerous potholes and cracks on this section of roadway. The repairs are no longer effective, and the roadway is failing in multiple locations. Environmental The federal process requires an environmental clearance. If any fields other than 'None' were selected, please describe the environmental clearance process and any issues. Right of Way None v N/A Right of Way The federal process requires a right of way clearance. If any fields other than 'Agency owns all ROW needed' were selected, please describe. Agency owns all ROW... v Please describe the ROW acquisition plan and describe any right of way issues. N/A Utilities Utilities None v The federal process requires a utility clearance. If any fields other than 'None' were selected, N/A please describe the utility relocation plan and describe any issues. Construction Phase Only Safety Considerations Please describe how safety factors were incorporated in the project design? The ARRP Policies and Procedures require an applicant to identify how safety factors were incorporated into the project. The expectation is the agency conducted an RSA, or equivalent, during the project development process. Pavement Conditions Safety is the number one reason for this roadway reconstruction. Buckeye wants to ensure the integrity of the roadway is improved to handle the increased traffic, not only from residential vehicles but also farming, commercial, and industrial vehicles. The installation of pavement markings and roadway signs that meet the MUTCD retro reflectivity requirements will improve lane visibility. Roadway reconstruction will ensure proper drainage to prevent standing water and reduce hydroplaning during a rain event. Removal of several high-severity potholes, alligator pattern cracking, block cracking with fatigue cracking in the wheel paths, rutting, raveling, and several longitudinal cracking areas will improve vehicular handling. Upon completion of this reconstruction project, the roadway will move to a rating of “good” from its current rating of “very poor”. Buckeye will address and prioritize ADA-compliant features that may be available, needed, and/or required. Note: MAG cannot commit to assessing additional data submitted and cannot guarantee that the data in this section will be accepted for scoring. Agency Provided Pavement Rating Name or Description of Rating System Used - e.g. PCI, PSR, etc.. Rating System Scale Please describe the scale used in the rating system. Date of Rating Rating Pavement Roughness Qualitative Factors Alignment with ARRP Goals 35 PCI. The PCI is calculated using detailed data related to the distresses in the pavement surface observed by pavement condition surveys. e.g. it ranges from 1 to 100 with 100 being the best condition The PCI rating system ranges from 0-100 with 100 being the best condition. 1/30/2025 & Very Poor The current roadway has cracks, potholes, visible patchwork, surface deformation, and deterioration. Describe how this project aligns with the ARRP goals outlined in the ARRP Policies and Procedures. Unique Attributes This project aligns with all 4 of the ARRP goals: - Improve overall roadway safety with well-maintained road surfaces. - Provide for the safety and security of pedestrians, bicyclists, drivers, and other roadway users. - Promote safe and efficient mobility by prioritizing ADA-compliant features. - Maintain the region's transportation infrastructure to protect existing investments for the future. The current roadway condition is “very poor” and poses a hazard to all roadway users, and the project seeks to eliminate this hazard and improve roadway safety with well-maintained road surfaces through the reconstruction of the roadway. The roadway reconstruction also protects existing investments for the future within the region's transportation infrastructure by preventing the roadway from further deterioration. Buckeye will address and prioritize ADA-compliant features that may be available, needed, and/or required. The City of Buckeye ensures fiscal integrity in each of its pavement management projects, including accounting and reporting practices, adherence to state, local, and/or county procurement procedures, and each project is outlined via signed contracts. Routine inspections of the contractor's work are conducted by staff. Due to the fast-paced growth of the City, it is imperative that Buckeye keeps up with the demand to provide drivable roadways, not only for residential or commercial stakeholders, but the City must ensure safe travel for emergency response and Public Works teams. The City of Buckeye is a MAG member agency. Buckeye will be responsible for all aspects of the project's implementation, including, but not limited to, project management, financing, risk management, public involvement, construction, inspection, and warranty periods. Buckeye understands the local match, ineligible expenditures, and reimbursement program guidelines. This project falls completely within the City of Buckeye’s jurisdiction and will comply with all applicable federal, state, county, and local requirements. Describe any unique attributes or circumstances related to this project. Safety Data and Considerations The raw annual average daily traffic (AADT) on McDowell Road from Tonopah Salome Highway east to Sun Valley Parkway is 11,203 vehicles per day, inclusive of the McDowell Road and Sun Valley Parkway intersection traffic. Please describe any additional safety issues to be addressed by the project. Community Outreach The roadway is failing in multiple locations, leading to increased safety concerns for the vehicular public. This roadway is also utilized for the annual Boston Marathon qualifier, in which runners utilize this roadway at the last stretch of the marathon.
