The County and City are collectively referred to as the Parties or individually as a Party. This Agreement shall become effective as of the date it is approved by the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors. STATUTORY AUTHORIZATION 1. A.R.S. §11-251 and §§28-6701 et seq. authorize the County to lay out, maintain, control and manage public roads within the County. 2. A.R.S. §§11-951 et seq. authorize public agencies to enter into Intergovernmental Agreements for the provision of services or for joint or cooperative action. BACKGROUND 3. EI Mirage Road between Northern Avenue and Grand Avenue varies from a two-lane road to a five-lane road with a two-way center left-turn lane. The specific road lane configurations by road segment within the corridor are shown in the following table: Road Segment Lanes * | Road Segment Lanes * Northern Ave to Olive Ave 1-0-1 Cactus Rd to Thunderbird Rd 2-1-2 Olive Ave to Peoria Ave 1-0-1 Thunderbird Rd to US60/Grand 1-0-1 Peoria Ave to Cactus Rd 1-1-1 * Numbers denote: # of northbound lanes — center turn lane (0 if none) — # of southbound lanes Page 1 of 14 In November 2003, the Maricopa Association of Governments (MAG) adopted a Regional Transportation Plan (RTP) which included, among other projects, several projects on El Mirage Road between Northern Avenue and Paradise Lane. In Fiscal Year 2006, the County, in cooperation with the City of El Mirage and the City of Surprise, conducted a corridor improvement study for Ei Mirage Road between Northern Avenue and Bell Road. This study confirmed the need for roadway improvements and identified a preferred corridor alignment. In December 2009, the County, in cooperation with the City of El Mirage and the City of Surprise, completed a design concept report (DCR). The DCR outlined several preferred projects within the corridor, from Northern Avenue to Bell Road, as follows: Road Segment Preferred Project Northern Ave to Cactus Road Widen to 4 lanes Thunderbird to Grand (T Connection) Widen to 4 lanes Thunderbird/Thompson Ranch/Grand Realign & Widen to 4 lanes + turn lanes Thompson Ranch Road Pavement rehabilitation Bell Road/E| Mirage Road Widen to 6 lanes; add turn lanes In January 2010, the County, in cooperation with the City of El Mirage and the City of Surprise, presented and discussed value engineering recommendations which could potentially refine the DCR recommendations and provide cost savings. On December 1, 2010, the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors approved an intergovernmental agreement (C91-11-094-M-00) between the County and the City of Surprise for El Mirage Road from Picerne Drive to Bell Road (including the Bell Road/El Mirage Road intersection). That road segment is advancing to design and construction. The Project addressed by this Agreement is comprised of the south-to-north segment of Et Mirage Road between Northern Avenue and Grand Avenue as well as Thunderbird Road from El! Mirage Road on the west to Grand Avenue on the east. The specific phases of the overall Project are described as follows: 8.1 Phase 1: Design of El Mirage Road from Northern Avenue (north of the limit of the Northern Parkway project, currently estimated as 500 feet north of the curb returns of the Northern Parkway frontage road) to Cactus Road, including the intersection at Cactus Road 8.2 Phase 2: Design of El Mirage Road from Cactus Road (north of the intersection project) to Grand Avenue, including the design of Thunderbird Road from El Mirage Road to Grand Avenue (may be concurrent with Phase 1) 8.3 Phase 3: Right-of-way acquisition and construction of El Mirage Road from Northern Avenue (starting at the north limit of the Northern Parkway project as described in paragraph 8.1 above) to 1,500 feet south of Peoria Avenue Page 2 of 14 10. 8.4 Phase 4: Right-of-way acquisition and construction of Thunderbird Road from El Mirage Road to Grand Avenue, including the intersection of Thunderbird Road and E! Mirage Road 8.5 Phase 5: Right-of-way acquisition and construction of El Mirage Road from 1,500 feet south of Peoria Avenue to Cactus Road, including the intersection at Peoria Avenue and the intersection at Cactus Road 8.6 Phase 6: Right-of-way acquisition and construction of El Mirage Road from Cactus Road (north of the intersection project) to Grand Avenue The FY 2011 MAG RTP Arterial Life Cycle Program (ALCP) provides a budget of $16,706,766 in Fiscal Years 2019 and 2020 for El Mirage Road from Northern Avenue to Thunderbird Road and a budget of $19,842,652 in Fiscal Years 2011 through 2017 for El Mirage Road from Thunderbird Road to Bell Road. It is anticipated that none of the $19,842,652 in ALCP monies programmed for El Mirage Road from Thunderbird Road to Bell Road will be applied to reimburse the cost of El Mirage Road from Picerne Drive to Bell Road. In addition, no project is currently planned for El Mirage Road from Grand Avenue to Picerne Drive. Therefore, the Parties agree that both the $16,706,766 in ALCP programmed for Fiscal Years 2019 and 2020 for El Mirage Road from Northern Avenue to Thunderbird Road and the $19,842,652 in ALCP programmed for Fiscal Years 2011 through 2017 for El Mirage Road from Thunderbird Road to Bell Road should be combined and reprogrammed for E! Mirage Road from Northern Avenue to Grand Avenue at this time. Accordingly, the Parties agree to approach MAG at the appropriate time, to request amendments to the MAG ALCP and Transportation improvement Program to accomplish this adjustment and apportion the available ALCP funding among the specific phases of the Project. Current cost estimates for each phase of the Project addressed by this agreement, along with estimated allocations of MAG ALCP reimbursement funding among the phases, are outlined below: Estimated ALCP Phase | Segment/Description Cost Estimate | Reimbursement * 1 Northern to Cactus Design $1,619,000 $1,133,301 2 Cactus to Grand Design $2,539,267 $1,777,487 3 Northern to Peoria ROW/CN $13,997,290 $9,798,103 4 Thunderbird Rd ROW/CN $4,000,000 $2,800,000 5 Peoria to Cactus ROW/CN $10,810,564 $7,567,395 6 Cactus to Grand ROW/CN $21,786,599 $13,250,619 TOTALS $54,752,720 $36,549,418 * Reimbursements will be available as programmed in the MAG ALCP and TIP. Local agencies will be required to “cash flow’ the project/phase costs “up front” and await ALCP reimbursement in the MAG budgeted year. The ALCP amounts may be adjusted by MAG for inflation in accordance with MAG policies and procedures, and local shares may be adjusted as project phases develop. Page 3 of 14 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. The Parties may approach MAG at an appropriate time to request amendments to the MAG ALCP to adjust the project and/or official project phases or make other adjustments as necessary and appropriate, in accordance with MAG policies and procedures. The Parties may approach MAG at an appropriate time to apply for early ALCP reimbursement (before the MAG budgeted years), if available, or to request changes to reimbursement years in accordance with MAG policies and procedures. Except as provided in paragraph 15 of this Agreement, the County shall contribute $6,000,000 toward the costs of the overall Project, not including staff time devoted to the Project. This shall be apportioned among any or all of the six phases of the Project, as the County determines is feasible and as the Parties mutually determine is most prudent to complete the Project. County financial participation shall be limited to aspects of the Project that are essential for the establishment of a safe roadway consistent with the County’s cost participation policy. The County will not financially participate in Project enhancements such as landscaping, irrigation, street lighting, visual mitigation, decorative pavers, street furniture or any other items inconsistent with the County’s cost participation policy unless there is a benefit to the County that can be demonstrated by a benefit/cost analysis. Except as provided in paragraph 15 of this agreement, or unless the City determines it is in the best interests of the City to contribute more than $6,000,000 to the Project, the City shall contribute $6,000,000 toward the cost of the Project, not including staff time devoted to the Project. Except as otherwise specifically stated in this Agreement, this shall be apportioned among any or all of the six phases of the Project, as the City determines is feasible and as the Parties mutually determine is most prudent to complete the Project. In recognition that each Party intends to limit its financial contribution for the Project to $6,000,000, and recognizing that the current cost estimate for this Project (as shown in paragraph 10 of this Agreement) might eventually require a combined local cost share in excess of $12,000,000 to meet the minimum 30% local share required by MAG policies and procedures, the Parties agree to employ appropriate strategies to limit the Parties’ costs and ensure the project is feasible. These strategies may include value engineering, seeking right-of-way dedications, seeking developer contributions, making adjustments to project scope or other appropriate strategies. If less than a $12,000,000 total, combined local share is needed for the Project, the amount of savings under the $12,000,000 amount shall be shared so that the estimated $6,000,000 shares provided by each Party are reduced equally between the parties to produce a 50/50 share of the total combined local share. The County shall take the available MAG ALCP reimbursements for Project phases 1 and 3 because this will help to cash flow the Project. The City shall cash flow Project phase 2 and shall take MAG ALCP reimbursements for phase 2 when availabie, but not sooner than completion of phases 1 and 3, unless the Parties agree to an alternative arrangement. Beginning with phase 4 of the Project and continuing through phase 6, the City shall take all available MAG ALCP reimbursements, provided that the maximum $6,000,000 County contribution toward the Project is maintained. If both Parties agree, Page 4 of 14 17. 18. a Party may choose to reallocate all or a portion of its reimbursement to a different phase of the Project rather than receive reimbursement in the current phase, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement. Upon completion of each phase of the Project, but not less than annually, the Parties shall discuss the lessons learned in the phases completed to date, the most current Project cost estimates and revenue projections, the budgetary conditions of each Party, the cash flow strategy and cash flow responsibilities of each Party, the maximum contributions of each Party under this Agreement, and strategies needed to ensure the future phases of the Project can be completed to the benefit of the Parties and their residents, and shall determine if any amendments to this Agreement should be recommended. The Parties agree that: 18.1 For phase 1 of the Project, the County shall serve as the lead agency and shall coordinate with the City to ensure phase 1 and 2 designs are compatible. With respect to MAG ALCP responsibilities, the County shall bear the designation of lead agency for the Project segment between Northern Avenue and Peoria Avenue (not including the intersection), and the City shall bear the designation of lead agency for the segment between Peoria Avenue (including the intersection) and Cactus Road, with the County providing management and technical assistance for the design work. 18.2 For phase 2 of the Project, the City shall serve as the lead agency and shail coordinate with the County to ensure phase 1 and 2 designs are compatible. 18.3 For phase 3 of the Project, the County shall serve as the lead agency for right-of-way acquisition, utility coordination, utility permits and inspections, and construction. 18.4 For phases 4, 5 and 6 of the Project, the City shall serve as lead agency for right-of-way acquisition, utility coordination, utility permits and inspections, and construction. 18.5 For all phases of the Project, the lead agency, as identified in this Agreement, shall be considered the official lead agency for purposes of administering the MAG ALCP policies and procedures, except as provided in paragraph 18.1. If requested by the City, the County shall provide reasonable assistance to the City for ALCP tasks in cases where the City is the official lead agency. 18.6 For all phases of the Project, the Parties shall cooperatively develop a public involvement and government relations plan, to include the roles and responsibilities of each Party. This plan, and future project development, will be built upon the public involvement program established during the design concept report. The City will be a recognizable “face” or authority for the Project at public meetings, open houses and similar events, and the City will handle responses to calls and other inquiries from El Mirage residents covering aspects of the Project activity and its impacts. Through the public involvement Page 5 of 14 19. 20. 21. and government relations plan, the Parties will clarify the nature and extent of these City roles in consideration of limited available resources. 18.7 The City and the County may deem it prudent to change these roles, by mutual written intergovernmental agreement, in the future. The Parties shall design and construct all phases of the Project to City standards, and the City shall annex all portions of the Project not already within the City, including the road and all areas within the full right-of-way limits of the Project, no later than upon completion of construction, phase by phase. The Parties agree that all costs associated with required intersection improvements to the state highway known as Grand Avenue (US 60) at Thunderbird Road and Thompson Ranch Road are the responsibility of the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT), and both parties will work to secure ADOT funding for this intersection improvement critical to the El Mirage Road corridor. PURPOSE OF THE AGREEMENT The purpose of this Agreement is to identify and define the responsibilities of the County and the. City for the cost sharing, design, right-of-way acquisition, utility relocation (considered a part of construction), construction, construction management, and public information and public involvement for the Project.
