This Intergovernmental Agreement (Agreement) is between the County of Maricopa, 
a political subdivision of the State of Arizona (County), and the City of Phoenix, (the 
City). The County and the 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 and the Phoenix City Council. 
STATUTORY AUTHORIZATION 
1. 
A.R.S. §§11-251 and 28-6701, et seq., authorize the County to layout, maintain, 
control and manage public roads within its respective County, to acquire and 
condemn property necessary for such purposes, and to enter into this 
Agreement. 
2. 
A.R.S. § 11-951, et seq., provides that public agencies may enter into 
Intergovernmental Agreements for the provision of services or for joint or 
cooperative action. 
BACKGROUND 
3. 
The County, acting through the Maricopa County Department of Transportation 
(MCDOT) is a co-lead of AZTech, a regional traffic management partnership in 
the Phoenix Metropolitan area that guides the application of Intelligent 
Transportation System (ITS) technologies for managing regional traffic. Through 
AZTech, the Bell Rd Adaptive Signal Control Technology (ASCT) (Phase 2) 
Deployment Project was generated. This project is an extension of the Bell Rd 
ASCT (Phase 1) Deployment Project completed in 2019. Phase 1 included

DocuSign Envelope ID: C053BC48-2753-41F7-81A4-070F652FA7F5 
Project Areas 1-4. The goal of Phase 2 is to expand Phase I deployment and 
provide a system with the ability to adjust signal operations in real-time, reduce 
delays, reduce travel times, improve safety to multiple modes of vehicles, 
pedestrians, transit, and emergency services, reduce vehicle emissions by 
reducing stops and delays at arterial intersections and the interchanges, improve 
cross-jurisdictional traffic flow, making travel appear seamless to the driver. 
Bell Road is identified as a key east-west arterial extending from Loop 303 on the 
west to 1-17 on the east. 
5. 
ASCT has been identified as an important tool to provide improved traffic signal 
timing adjustments in response to varying traffic volumes and congestion. 
6. 
On February 17, 2016, Maricopa County and the City of Phoenix entered into an 
Intergovernmental Agreement (C-64-16-075-M-00) that solidified each Parties 
commitment and mutual responsibilities towards Master Traffic Management and 
Operations of Integrated Corridor Management Projects. 
7. 
In association with the Maricopa Association of Governments (MAG) System 
Management and Operations (SMO) Plan, Phase 2 consists of the installation of 
ASCT at 13 signalized intersections in two distinct areas along Bell Road as 
identified below. (Areas 1-4 were completed in 2019 as part of the Bell Rd ASCT 
(Phase 1) Deployment Project) 
7.1 	
Area 5 — 2 traffic signals — Bell Road from Del Webb Blvd. to Boswell 
Blvd., connecting to the existing ASCT system to the west in City of 
Surprise and to the east in Maricopa County. 
7.2 	
Area 6 — 11 traffic signals — Bell Road from 69th Avenue to 39th Avenue, 
connecting to the existing ASCT system to the west in City of Phoenix and 
to the east in City of Phoenix. 
8. 
The project is funded from local and federal funds through the MAG 
Transportation Improvement Program (TIP). The estimated construction cost is 
$1,176,501, which is made up of federal funds of $1,109,440 and a local match 
of $67,061. 
9. 
The Project is expected to begin and in fiscal year 2021. 
10. This Agreement is contingent upon the Arizona Department of Transportation's 
(ADOT) compliance with the Single Audit Act of 1984 and the availability of 
federal funds through the MAG TIP:
