Report to the Board of Directors
Prepared by the Flood Control District of Maricopa County
Title: Sonoqui Wash Channelization Project Phase II / Riggs Road
Bridge at Sonoqui Wash
Document Number: FCD 2010A004A Amendment No. 2
Board Meeting Date: Date
Advisory Board Date: Not Applicable
Supervisor Districts: 1
Request: Amendment No. 2 to Intergovernmental Agreement
FCD2010A004 with Maricopa County Department of
Transportation (County) for the Riggs Road Bridge at Sonoqui
Wash for construction management funding and maintenance
responsibilities.
Discussion: The District completed the Queen Creek and Sonoqui Wash
Hydraulic Master Plan in 2000 that indicated that the most feasible
solution to contain the breakouts from Sonoqui Wash was to
increase the conveyance cross-section to contain the 100-year
flood flows. The Sonoqui Wash Channelization Project Phase II
accomplishes the second phase of improvements to the wash.
The Riggs Road Bridge provides a vital element of the Channel
Project and was built under a combined contract with the Channel
to avoid throwaway costs of a low flow crossing. The Channel
Project included installation of a channel crossing at 203rd Place
and construction of Marsh Road and the Marsh Road box culvert
that will be accepted by the County into its maintenance system.
The County provided construction management services for the
bridge as well as those items to be accepted into its maintenance
system. The IGA required the subject amendment to authorize the
District to credit the County for construction management for the
non-bridge items and to establish maintenance responsibilities for
the Marsh Road box culvert.

Public Meeting Dates: Public Meetings for Sonoqui Wash Channelization Phase II were
held at the Queen Creek public library on May 12, 2009 attended
by 15 people, and on September 15, 2009 attended by 24 people.
Public Support/Opposition: Six (6) comments sheets were submitted. Most of the area
residents attending related that they welcomed the project since
they were often subjected to flooding of their properties or the
access to their residences. Some property owners that did not
live there opposed the project for its impact to their properties.
Some property owners that resided on their properties and were
impacted by the proposed project understood the need. There
was a desire to maintain equestrian access to the channel.
Other Public Agency
Involvement: The Town of Queen Creek was a cost share partner on design
and construction of the Channel Project and the Maricopa County

Bridge Project.
