• 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.

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:

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-

APPENDIX A 
During the performance of this contract, the contractor, for itself, its assignees and successors in interest 
(hereinafter referred to as the “contractor”) agrees as follows: 
1. Compliance with Regulations: The contractor (hereinafter includes consultants) will comply with the 
Acts and the Regulations relative to Non-discrimination in Federally-assisted programs of the U.S. 
Department of Transportation, Federal Highway Administration or the Arizona Department of 
Transportation, as they may be amended from time to time, which are herein incorporated by reference 
and made a part of this contract. 
2. Nondiscrimination: The contractor, with regard to the work performance by it during the contract, will 
not discriminate on the grounds of race, color, or national origin in the selection and retention of 
subcontractors, including procurements of materials and leases of equipment. The contractor will not 
participate directly or indirectly in the discrimination prohibited by the Acts and the Regulations, 
including employment practices when the contract covers any activity, project, or program set forth in 
Appendix B of 49 CFR Part 21. 
3. Solicitations for Subcontractors, Including Procurements of Materials and Equipment: In all 
solicitations, either by competitive bidding, or negotiation made by the contractor for work to be 
performed under a subcontract, including procurements of materials, or leases of equipment, each 
potential subcontractor or supplier will be notified by the contractor of the contractor’s obligations under 
this contract and the Acts and Regulations relative to Non-discrimination on the grounds of race, color, or 
national origin. 
4. Information and Reports: The contractor will provide all information and reports required by the Acts, 
the Regulations, and directives issued pursuant thereto and will permit access to its books, records, 
accounts, other sources of information, and its facilities as may be determined by the Recipient, the 
Federal Highway Administration or Arizona Department of Transportation to be pertinent to ascertain 
compliance with such Acts, Regulations, and instructions. Where any information required of a contractor 
is in the exclusive possession of another who fails or refuses to furnish the information, the contractor will 
so certify to the Recipient, the Federal Highway Administration, or Arizona Department of 
Transportation, as appropriate, and will set forth what efforts it has made to obtain the information. 
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 
Administration or Arizona Department of Transportation, may determine to be appropriate, including, but 
not limited to: 
a. withholding payments to the contractor under the contract until the contractor complies;  
and/or 
b. cancelling, terminating, or suspending a contract, in whole or in part. 
6. Incorporation of Provisions: The contractor will include the provisions of paragraphs one through six in 
every subcontract, including procurements of materials and leases of equipment, unless exempt by the 
Acts, the Regulations and directives issued pursuant thereto. The contractor will take action with respect 
to any subcontract or procurement as the Recipient, the Federal Highway Administration, or Arizona 
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 
subcontractor or supplier because of such direction, the contractor may request the Recipient to enter into 
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

Page 4 of 11 
 
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,

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. 
Schedule Development and Maintenance 
The Consultant Team will prepare and submit an initial detailed project schedule in Microsoft 
Project during Phase One and will provide an updated schedule at the onset of each subsequent 
phase. At a minimum, the schedule will be updated monthly.  
Project Communication 
The Consultant Team will participate in all meetings with, at minimum, one member attending 
each meeting. The Consultant Team will work with the MCDOT Project Manager to schedule and 
coordinate all meeting dates, times, and locations. Unless directed otherwise, the Consultant 
Team will prepare meeting agenda, materials, and summaries for distribution to meeting 
attendees. Each summary should include, at minimum, attendee list, detailed summary of the 
meeting, opportunities/challenges, action items and next steps.  
The Consultant Team shall maintain an internal meeting tracker to track the progress of the 
project. This will include the date of the meeting, time, duration, attendance, key points, and next 
steps for each meeting held.  
Progress Meetings 
The Consultant Team Project Manager and the MCDOT Project Manager shall meet, at minimum, 
biweekly. These meetings may include other support staff as needed. Also included under 
progress meetings are comment resolution meetings, and major phase/task kickoff meetings. 
Advisory Committee Meetings 
The Consultant Team, with the direction of the MCDOT Project Manager, shall identify an Advisory 
Committee that includes internal MCDOT staff and all partner agencies in the County and the 
adjacent surrounding area. The Advisory Committee will provide technical and stakeholder input 
to the plan. It is anticipated an initial kickoff meeting with partnering activities will be held with 
subsequent meetings occurring, at minimum, after the draft submittal of each Technical 
Memorandum, for up to 10 meetings. It is anticipated the advisory committee meetings will be 
virtual to allow for a greater attendance of those in outlying areas with the exception of the 
workshops which will be held in person.  
Docusign Envelope ID: 829DFB36-DC5A-4108-AB9F-7BF34ECC6868

Page 5 of 11 
 
The Consultant Team, under the direction of the MCDOT Project Manager, will work to provide 
telecommunication for the Advisory Committee, which may include sending emails or calling 
members of the Advisory Committee to progress the project in a timely matter. The Consultant 
Team will maintain a file sharing page for all items to be reviewed by the Advisory Committee.  
Individual Stakeholder Meetings 
The Consultant Team, with the direction of the MCDOT Project Manager, will conduct up to 15 
coordination meetings with individual stakeholders, as needed. It is anticipated that these 
meetings would be in person to foster collaboration.  
TAB and BOS Meetings 
The Consultant Team will assist and provide support in developing presentations, handouts, 
graphics, and other material related to the development of TSP 2050 for the Technical Advisory 
Board (TAB) and the Board of Supervisors (BOS) meetings. The Consultant Team is not required 
to attend these meetings unless directed by the MCDOT Project Manager; an allowance of up to 
four meetings is included. 
Plan Management and Administration Deliverables 
The Consultant Team shall provide the following deliverables for each phase: 
• 
Invoices  
• 
Progress Reports 
• 
Schedule and Subsequent Updates, as changes occur 
• 
Meeting Materials and Summaries  
o Progress Meetings

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.
