PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION: Ordinance 10787 dated September 9, 2024, established Project DT2401, which approved an IGA between the City and FHWA, budgeted and appropriated funds in the amount of $16,834,725.00 for the West Side Connector Project.

Resolution 15901, dated February 10, 2025, awarded an Agreement for Professional Engineering Services to Bolton & Menk Inc to render design services for the West Side Improvements. Ordinance 11064, approved on October 27, 2025, approved the 1st Amendment to the IGA between the City and FHWA, regarding the Raise Grant program for the West Side Connector Project. Resolution 16913, dated December 8, 2025, awarded an agreement for professional Docusign Envelope ID: 19CB489A-B751-896E-836A-601985A84E8D services in the amount of $3,396,234.31 to Bolton & Menk, Inc for Project No. 25-002 Planning Consultant for 24th Street Bridge and Downtown Corridor. Resolution 16266, dated March 9, 2026, established a new Project Account HU2603, transferred funds in the amount of $37,621.43 from HUAN01 to HU2603, approved Amendment 2 to the agreement for professional services between the City and Pinyon Environmental, Inc. BACKGROUND: The City was awarded a RAISE Grant which funds several project components that will improve transportation connectivity between the west side of the City and downtown. In the first component, Sun Mountain Boulevard (formerly Spaulding Ave) will be extended from 24th Street to 31st Street. The second component will rehabilitate seventy (70) west side bus stops to comply with ADA standards. The third component consists of planning and design for a 24th Street bridge and traffic corridor to connect the west side area to downtown. This Ordinance approves the 2nd Amendment to the Intergovernmental Agreement, originally effective on September 11, 2024, between the City and FHWA. This Amendment modifies the scope of the project, by changing the intersections on Sun Mountain Boulevard to stop -sign controlled intersections instead of roundabouts and to change the number of bus stops to approximately 70. After a full warrant study was completed by Bolton & Menk, it was determined that roundabouts were not warranted on Sun Mountain Boulevard. In addition, the Amendment obligates funding in the amount of $11,834,725.00 for Option Phase 1: Construction of West Side Bus Stop Rehabilitation and Sun Mountain Boulevard Extension. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS: This amendment obligates the rest of the funding awarded by the Raise West Dide Connector Grant, in the amount of $11,834,725.00 BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: None. STAKEHOLDER PROCESS: None. ALTERNATIVES: Currently, there are no alternatives to completing the project without the construction funds. RECOMMENDATION: Approve the Ordinance. ATTACHMENTS: 1.
