INTERGOVERNMENTAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN
CITY OF EL MIRAGE AND CITY OF GLENDALE
DYSART ROAD WIDENING
BETWEEN PEORIA AVENUE AND NORTHERN PARKWAY

This Intergovernmental Agreement (“Agreement”) is between the City of El Mirage (“El Mirage”)
and the City of Glendale (“Glendale”), both Arizona municipal corporations. El Mirage and
Glendale may also be referred to as a Party or jointly as Parties in this Agreement.

This Agreement shall become effective as of the date it is filed with the Maricopa County Recorder
pursuant to Arizona Revised Statutes § 11-952, as amended.

1.

STAUTORY AUTHORIZATION

El Mirage and Glendale are empowered by Arizona Revised Statutes § 11-951, et. seq., to
enter into this Agreement for the provision of services or for joint or cooperative action.

BACKGROUND

Dysart Road between Peoria Avenue and Northern Parkway is under the jurisdiction of El
Mirage. Dysart Road was identified as a “Road of Regional Significance” in the 1999 Maricopa
Association of Governments (“MAG”) study and currently has one lane in each direction
between Northern Parkway and Peoria Avenue. El Mirage desires to widen this section of
Dysart Road to two through lanes in each direction, including a raised median, bike lanes,
driveways as appropriate and curbs and gutters, all according to MAG standards (collectively,
the “Project”). A portion of the roadway to be improved on Dysart Road is within the jurisdiction
of Glendale.

El Mirage and Glendale would like to move forward with the construction of widening Dysart
Road from Peoria Avenue to Northern Parkway for the safety and benefit of the motoring

public.

Construction of the Project will not commence until the design plans are reviewed, approved
and permitted by both agencies.

This Agreement shall be subject to the conflict of interest provisions of A.R.S. Section 38-
511.

The Parties warrant that they are in compliance with A.R.S. Section 41-4401 and further
acknowledge that:

10.1 Any contractor or subcontractor who is contracted by a Party to perform work on
the Project shall warrant their compliance with all federal immigration laws and
regulations that relate to their employees and their compliance with A.R.S. Section
23-214(A), and shall keep a record of the verification for the duration of the
employee’s employment or at least three (3) years, whichever is longer.

10.2 Any breach of the warranty shall be deemed a material breach of the contract that
is subject to penalties up to and including termination of the contract.

10.3. The Parties retain the legal right to inspect the papers of any contractor or
subcontractor employee who works on the Project to ensure that the contractor or
subcontractor is complying with the warranty above and that the contractor agrees
to make all papers and employment records of said employee available during
normal working hours in order to facilitate such an inspection.

10.4 Nothing in this Agreement shall make any contractor or subcontractor an agent or
employee of the Parties to this Agreement.

Each Party to this Agreement warrants that neither it nor any contractor or vendor under
contract with the Party to provide goods or services toward the accomplishment of the
objectives of this Agreement is suspended or debarred by any federal agency which has
provided funding that will be used in the Project described in this Agreement.

Each of the following shall constitute a material breach of this Agreement and an event of
default (“Default”) hereunder: A Party’s failure to observe or perform any of the material
covenants, conditions or provisions of this Agreement to be observed or performed by that
Party (“Defaulting Party’), where such failure shall continue for a period of thirty (30) days
after the Defaulting Party receives written notice of such failure from the non-defaulting
Party provided, however, that such failure shall not be a Default if the Defaulting Party has
commenced to cure the Default within such thirty (30) day period and thereafter is diligently
pursuing such cure to completion, but the total aggregate cure period shall not exceed
ninety (90) days unless the Parties agree in writing that additional time is reasonably
necessary under such circumstances to cure such default. In the event a Defaulting Party
fails to perform any of its material obligations under this Agreement and is in Default
pursuant to this Section, the non-defaulting Party, at its option, may terminate this
Agreement. Further, upon the occurrence of any Default and at any time thereafter, the
non-defaulting Party may, but shall not be required to, exercise any remedies now or
hereafter available to it at law or in equity.

waiver of a subsequent right obtained by reason of the continuation of any matter
previously waived.

Wherever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such a manner
as to be valid under applicable law, but if any provision shall be invalid or prohibited under
the law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidation

Time is of the essence concerning this Agreement. Unless otherwise specified in this
Agreement, the term “day” as used in this Agreement means calendar day. If the date for
performance of any obligation under this Agreement or the last day of any time period
provided in this Agreement falls on a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday, then the date for
performance or time period shall expire at the close of business on the first day thereafter
