Maricopa County Department of Transportation
Title VI Assurances
The Maricopa County Department of Transportation (herein referred to as the “Recipient”), HEREBY
AGREES THAT, as a condition to receiving any Federal financial assistance from the U.S. Department of
Transportation (DOT), through Federal Highway Administration and Arizona Department of Transportation,
is subject to and will comply with the following:
Statutory/Regulatory Authorities
• Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (42 U.S.C. § 2000d et seq., 78 stat. 252), (prohibits
discrimination on the basis of race, color, national origin);
• 49 C.F.R. Part 21 (entitled Non-discrimination In Federally-Assisted Programs of the Department of
Transportation—Effectuation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964);
• 28 C.F.R. section 50.3 (U.S. Department of Justice Guidelines for Enforcement of Title VI of the
Civil Rights Act of 1964);
The preceding statutory and regulatory cites hereinafter are referred to as the “Acts” and “Regulations,”
respectively.
General Assurances
In accordance with the Acts, the Regulations, and other pertinent directives, circulars, policy, memoranda
and/or guidance, the Recipient hereby gives assurances that it will promptly take any measures necessary to
ensure that:
“No person in the United States shall, on the grounds of race, color, or national origin, be excluded
from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be otherwise subjected to discrimination under any
program or activity,” for which the Recipient receives Federal financial assistance from DOT,
including the Federal Highway Administration.
The Civil Rights Restoration Act of 1987 clarified the original intent of Congress, with respect to Title VI
and other Non-discrimination requirements (The Age Discrimination Act of 1975, and Section 504 of the
Rehabilitation Act of 1973), by restoring the broad, institutional-wide scope and coverage of these non-
discrimination statutes and requirements to include all programs and activities of the Recipient, so long as
any portion of the program is Federally assisted.

activity, project, or program; and
b. for the construction or use of, or access to, space on, over, or under real property acquired

5. Sanctions for Noncompliance: In the event of a contractor's noncompliance with the Non-discrimination
provisions of this contract, the Recipient will impose such contract sanctions as it or the Federal Highway

Department of Transportation may direct as a means of enforcing such provisions including sanctions for
noncompliance. Provided, that if the contractor becomes involved in, or is threatened with litigation by a

any litigation to protect the interests of the Recipient. In addition, the contractor may request the United

SCOPE OF WORK
Background
The Maricopa County Department of Transportation (MCDOT) Transportation System Plan (TSP)
provides information on the current transportation system and sets the framework for future
transportation needs in unincorporated Maricopa County. In 1997, MCDOT implemented the first
TSP; it was later updated in 2007, 2017, and 2021. Transportation is critically important as the
County continues to grow and develop. Planning must take a proactive approach to
accommodate the changing needs of current and future residents. To accomplish this, MCDOT
changed the TSP update cycle from a 10-year cycle to a 5-year cycle, initially starting with
adoption year 2020. Due to the 2020 Pandemic, the adoption was delayed until 2021 however
MCDOT still desires to keep the 5-year cycle and seeks adoption in year 2025.
Purpose and Need
The purpose of this plan is to set an expectation for the future transportation system as
population, development, technology, and other factors affect Maricopa County, specifically in
unincorporated areas. This effort is needed to provide a clear representation of opportunities and
constraints to achieve a well-connected transportation system that functions for all users.
Study Area
The Study Area includes unincorporated Maricopa County. The Project Influence Area includes
all of Maricopa County. Portions of Pinal, Pima, Yuma, La Paz, Yavapai, and Gila counties adjacent
to Maricopa County may be referenced as necessary. The primary focus will be on MCDOT
facilities within the Study Area. However, some analysis will be conducted for the Project
Influence Area to determine how MCDOT facilities are impacted by the region.
Plan Management and Administration
TSP 2050 will be managed by the MCDOT Systems Planning Branch. The Consultant Team will
perform all technical analyses, produce all graphic and outreach material, and provide support as
described in this Scope of Work. All work herein shall be completed within 18 months (inclusive
of BOS approval and final document submittals) after Notice-to-Proceed (NTP) has been issued.
The schedule assumes timely reviews of deliverables by MCDOT staff. The schedule shall be
structured to provide all meeting, delivery, and review times. Review time shall be shown as 25
working days after the draft submittal (five working days for internal MCDOT review, five working
days for the Consultant Team to complete revisions, 10 working days for external Advisory
Committee review, and five working days for the Consultant Team to complete 2nd round of
revisions) unless otherwise advised by the MCDOT Project Manager.

SCOPE OF WORK
Background
The Maricopa County Department of Transportation (MCDOT) Transportation System Plan (TSP)
provides information on the current transportation system and sets the framework for future
transportation needs in unincorporated Maricopa County. In 1997, MCDOT implemented the first
TSP; it was later updated in 2007, 2017, and 2021. Transportation is critically important as the
County continues to grow and develop. Planning must take a proactive approach to
accommodate the changing needs of current and future residents. To accomplish this, MCDOT
changed the TSP update cycle from a 10-year cycle to a 5-year cycle, initially starting with
adoption year 2020. Due to the 2020 Pandemic, the adoption was delayed until 2021 however
MCDOT still desires to keep the 5-year cycle and seeks adoption in year 2026.
Purpose and Need
The purpose of this plan is to set an expectation for the future transportation system as
population, development, technology, and other factors affect Maricopa County, specifically in
unincorporated areas. This effort is needed to provide a clear representation of opportunities and
constraints to achieve a well-connected transportation system that functions for all users.
Study Area
The Study Area includes unincorporated Maricopa County. The Project Influence Area includes
all of Maricopa County. Portions of Pinal, Pima, Yuma, La Paz, Yavapai, and Gila counties adjacent
to Maricopa County may be referenced as necessary. The primary focus will be on MCDOT
facilities within the Study Area. However, some analysis will be conducted for the Project
Influence Area to determine how MCDOT facilities are impacted by the region.
Plan Management and Administration
TSP 2050 will be managed by the MCDOT Systems Planning Branch. Burgess & Niple
(Consultant) will perform all technical analyses, produce all graphic and outreach material, and
provide support as described in this Scope of Work. Michael Baker International (Subconsultant)
will support Consultant. Together, Consultant and Subconsultant are the Consultant Team. All
work items are identified in this Scope of Work; work items to be completed by Subconsultant
are indicated in Subconsultant Scope of Work.
All work herein shall be completed within 18 months (inclusive of BOS approval and final
document submittals) after Notice-to-Proceed (NTP) has been issued. The schedule assumes
timely reviews of deliverables by MCDOT staff. The schedule shall be structured to provide all
meeting, delivery, and review times. Review time shall be shown as 25 working days after the
Docusign Envelope ID: 829DFB36-DC5A-4108-AB9F-7BF34ECC6868

draft submittal (five working days for internal MCDOT review, five working days for the Consultant
Team to complete revisions, 10 working days for external Advisory Committee review, and five
working days for the Consultant Team to complete 2nd round of revisions) unless otherwise
advised by the MCDOT Project Manager.
Administration
The Consultant Team will setup and administer the project. This includes tracking activities to
ensure deliverables are prepared and submitted on schedule, preparing monthly progress reports,
preparing monthly invoices, and conducting Consultant Team coordination meetings. The
Consultant Team will maintain a file sharing page for all items to be reviewed by the project team.

The Consultant Team will comprise a system wide needs list within the Study Area. The list will
include, at minimum, roadway name, which associated at/to/from roadway names, MCDOT route
data for current MCDOT Maintained Roadways, and planning level cost. Each identified segment
should include data for all transportation modes/user needs. Intersections shall be tracked within
the segmented list and have the capability to stand alone. The Consultant Team will provide
project parameters for input into the PRS.
The Consultant Team will evaluate system needs for 2025, 2030, 2040, and 2050 planning
horizons. It is assumed that complete projects will be identified for the nearer term; longer term
needs will incorporate a policy-based recommended investment choice model to allocate future
funds across different investment types. The recommended investment choices will be informed
through scenario planning workshops in Phase Four.
Phase Three Deliverables
The Consultant Team shall provide the following deliverables for Phase Three:

the identified needs in Phase Three. The Consultant Team will staff the meetings with key team
members including a facilitator and subject expert. The first workshop will serve as an
introduction, provide background information, and foster brainstorming on the changing world of
transportation. The second workshop will identify assumptions, probabilities, potential risks,
potential impacts, potential policy needs, and potential decision points (triggers). The third
workshop will present the findings, potential changes in travel demand, and identification of
potential future actions. It is assumed that each workshop will last no more than one-half working
day. It is assumed that up to four scenarios will be investigated.
The Consultant Team shall conduct a peer review of up to four counties/cities/MPOs to compare
the following with other agencies. Any needed refinement should be coordinated with the
Advisory Committee to ensure the overall vision of the system is identified.
Established goals, objectives, strategies, and performance measures.
Roadway, bicycle, and pedestrian standard design features (e.g. standard bike lane, rolled
curb, diagonal curb ramp, 12-foot travel lane).
Types and impact of current and new technology on the transportation system.
The Consultant Team will work with the MCDOT Systems Planning Branch to review the needs
and define projects that satisfy the identified goals, objectives, strategies, and more forward the
performance measures. The Consultant Team will test the projects for general practicality (e.g.

SCOPE OF WORK
Background
The Maricopa County Department of Transportation (MCDOT) Transportation System Plan (TSP)
provides information on the current transportation system and sets the framework for future
transportation needs in unincorporated Maricopa County. In 1997, MCDOT implemented the first
TSP; it was later updated in 2007, 2017, and 2021. Transportation is critically important as the
County continues to grow and develop. Planning must take a proactive approach to
accommodate the changing needs of current and future residents. To accomplish this, MCDOT
changed the TSP update cycle from a 10-year cycle to a 5-year cycle, initially starting with
adoption year 2020. Due to the 2020 Pandemic, the adoption was delayed until 2021 however
MCDOT still desires to keep the 5-year cycle and seeks adoption in year 2026.
Purpose and Need
The purpose of this plan is to set an expectation for the future transportation system as
population, development, technology, and other factors affect Maricopa County, specifically in
unincorporated areas. This effort is needed to provide a clear representation of opportunities and
constraints to achieve a well-connected transportation system that functions for all users.
Study Area
The Study Area includes unincorporated Maricopa County. The Project Influence Area includes
all of Maricopa County. Portions of Pinal, Pima, Yuma, La Paz, Yavapai, and Gila counties adjacent
to Maricopa County may be referenced as necessary. The primary focus will be on MCDOT
facilities within the Study Area. However, some analysis will be conducted for the Project
Influence Area to determine how MCDOT facilities are impacted by the region.
Plan Management and Administration
TSP 2050 will be managed by the MCDOT Systems Planning Branch. Burgess & Niple (Consultant)
will perform all technical analyses, produce all graphic and outreach material, and provide support
as described in this Scope of Work. Michael Baker International (Subconsultant) will support
Consultant. Together, Consultant and Subconsultant are the Consultant Team. All work items
are identified in this Scope of Work; work items to be completed by Subconsultant are indicated
in Subconsultant Scope of Work.
All work herein shall be completed within 18 months (inclusive of BOS approval and final
document submittals) after Notice-to-Proceed (NTP) has been issued. The schedule assumes
timely reviews of deliverables by MCDOT staff. The schedule shall be structured to provide all
meeting, delivery, and review times. Review time shall be shown as 25 working days after the draft
Docusign Envelope ID: 829DFB36-DC5A-4108-AB9F-7BF34ECC6868
Page 4 of 11
submittal (five working days for internal MCDOT review, five working days for the Consultant
Team to complete revisions, 10 working days for external Advisory Committee review, and five
working days for the Consultant Team to complete 2nd round of revisions) unless otherwise
advised by the MCDOT Project Manager.
Administration
The Consultant Team will setup and administer the project. This includes tracking activities to
ensure deliverables are prepared and submitted on schedule, preparing monthly progress reports,
preparing monthly invoices, and conducting Consultant Team coordination meetings. The
Consultant Team will maintain a file sharing page for all items to be reviewed by the project team.
