Project Scope and Data 
 
Project Scope: Insert description of Project here. At minimum, this section should address the 
number of lanes, bicycle, pedestrian, and transit related upgrades.
Kyrene Road is currently a four-lane arterial roadway that provides two lanes in each direction, 
separated by a raised median with protected left turn pockets. Kyrene Road supports commuting 
traffic to and from the Loop 202 Santan Freeway as well as local traffic associated with homes and 
businesses between the Loop 202 Santan Freeway and Chandler Boulevard. Due to access 
restrictions on the existing freeway network, Kyrene Road is the only Loop 202 Santan Freeway 
westbound exit ramp between the Loop 101 interchange and the I-10 Interchange. Motorists using 
this exit experience high levels of congestion during the weekday peak travel hours.

Improvements may include additional lanes, median improvements, bus pads, streetlights, 
additional pedestrian facilities, landscaping, right-of-way acquisition, and utility relocations.  The 
design will be locally funded, but construction will use 479 RARF ALCP funds. 
 
This project was in the 2019 Transportation Master Plan as an Arterial Mid-Term Recommended 
project.  The city also performed a study at this location on February 27, 2020, which assessed 
different possible options for the city to improve traffic flows. 
 
The scope of work is to provide services including data collection, utility coordination, facilitate 
progress meetings, project management, survey, cost estimates, conceptual pre-design, project 
assessment reports, public and stakeholder meetings, right of way coordination, geotechnical 
services, environmental services, permitted plans including phasing plans, specifications, bid 
schedule with a final cost estimate, and bidding assistance.
RSTIIP Goals: How will the project align with the goals stated in the RSTIIP including improving 
safety, mobility, prosperity, responsiveness, livability, and/or preservation?
The purpose of this project is to re-evaluate mobility and safety concerns, future capacity needs 
and implement an improvement alternative that can accommodate future demands and reduce 
safety concerns. 
 
The project will follow the City’s 2019 Transportation Master Plan which includes emphasizing 
transportation efficiency and safety, continue to develop an integrated multimodal transportation 
system, and improve operational efficiencies of the transportation infrastructure. Other aspects of 
the plan are related to roadways, transit, bicycle/pedestrian, and overall strategies to enhance the 
city’s transportation system which this project will strive to achieve.
Project Considerations: Title VI, and Utility Relocation
The city established the Title VI Non-Discrimination Program Implementation Plan back in July 
2024. The city assures that no person shall on the grounds of race, color, national origin, age, sex, 
and disability, as provided by Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and the Civil Rights 
Restoration Act of 1987.  The City is responsible for initiating and monitoring Title VI activities, 
preparing required reports, and other responsibilities as required per federal regulations and 
policies. 
 
The city’s code ordinance 48-12. - Street and utility improvement requirements - This section 
outlines the standards and responsibilities for subdivision street, utility, and infrastructure 
improvements. Any entity performing work within public right of way including City projects are 
responsible for planning, financing, and constructing improvements, including streets, sidewalks, 
curbs, pedestrian/equestrian paths, streetlights, storm drainage, sewage disposal, and utility 
installations—in compliance with City codes, standards, and approvals. All engineering plans must 
be prepared by a licensed engineer and approved by the City Engineer before final plat recording. 
Improvements must be inspected, completed, and accepted by the city before any occupancy is 
allowed, though phased construction may be permitted. Also the entity overseeing the performance 
or work within public right of way will provide street signs, ensure underground utilities are in place 
before paving, and make provisions for future sewer connections where public systems are not yet 
available.

Public Involvement and Outreach Activities: Note public involvement and outreach activities that 
have and/or are anticipated to occur for the project. Please note if the activities have or will occur. 
The city and individual departments have Policies and Procedures that need to be followed by 
respective departments. The city has PWU-116 Public Involvement & Notification for Design and 
Construction Projects (dated February 8, 2024) that outlines the requirements for public 
involvement and notification procedures to be followed during the design and construction of City 
projects. 
Management Plan: Include the internal steps the jurisdiction will take to ensure quality and timely 
completion of the project. Provide name of the jurisdiction’s project manager/employee that is 
responsible for project completion.

The city incorporates five phases of project delivery used by the Capital Improvement 
Division/Public Works Department are described as follows: 
 
Pre-Design 
The Pre-Design Phase consists of all activities necessary to prepare the project for detailed design. 
This phase begins with service request processing and project set up. Important elements of this 
phase is planning, budget set up, public outreach, AE selection and award. It includes the 
development of the pre-design report, which is submitted to the Owner Department for review. 
Once the Owner approves the pre-design report, the project is ready for design. 
 
Design 
The Design Phase consists of all activities necessary to prepare the project plans and 
specifications. This phase begins with Owner approval of the pre-design report. The first steps in 
the design process will vary depending on the nature of the design. However, design often starts by 
requesting a survey and obtaining a geotechnical report. The Design Phase also includes all 
property related activities such as purchasing the property and acquiring right-of-way or rights-of-
entry. The Design Phase concludes with the CIP City Engineer signing the cover page of the final 
construction plans. 
 
Bid and Award 
The Bid and Award Phase includes those activities necessary to advertise the availability of 
completed plans and specifications for bid and to award the contract. This phase begins with the 
CIP City Engineer signing the cover page of the final construction plans. The initial steps include 
utility coordination, advertising the project for bids, evaluating the received bids, and awarding the 
construction contract to the successful bidder. The Bid and Award Phase concludes with the award 
and execution of the construction contract by the City Council. 
 
Construction 
The Construction Phase consists of the actual construction of the project. It begins when the City 
Council takes public action to award the construction contract to the selected Contractor and 
issuance of the Notice of Executed Contract. The initial steps include approval of the Contractor’s

insurance and bonds. This phase starts with the issuance of the Notice-to-Proceed. Construction 
ends on the date of Final Acceptance of the project by the CIP City Engineer when all physical work 
and corrections have been completed. 
 
Post-Construction 
The Post-Construction Phase includes the steps taken to: conduct any facility commissioning and 
startup (unless these activities are part of the construction contract), finalize all change orders, 
negotiate any outstanding issues with the contractor, close out the construction contract, prepare 
the contract acceptance Report, prepare the Lessons Learned Memoranda or Report, and prepare 
the as-built drawings. The Phase ends with closing the project. 
 
Warranty 
The warranty phase includes the period (generally one year after final acceptance) where 
contractor will connect, replace, repair built items that have failed an inspection is performed before 
one year expires.
