Information

Request/Subject

Approval of USDA Forest Service Road Project Agreement No. 22-RO-11031200-232 for the cooperation in the Four Forest Restoration Initiative Control Road Surfacing

Background Information

Gila County entered into a Forest Road Cooperative Agreement (Coop Agreement) on February 5, 2020, in order to plan, survey, design, construct, reconstruct, improve and maintain listed forest service roads. Schedule A, which is attached to the Coop Agreement, identifies the maintenance responsibilities of the parties.

The Coop Agreement allows for specific Project Agreements between the parties with the intent of completing work as expeditiously as available funds or work opportunities allow.

Evaluation

The scope of work for this agreement is for the design and construction associated with the paving of a section of Forest Service Road (FSR) 64 from its intersection with FSR 199 moving west to its intersection with FSR 32 (approximately 0.65 miles) and moving east to its intersection with FSR 1190 (approximately 0.48 miles). The total paving of FSR 64 from FSR 32 to FSR 1190 is, therefore, roughly 1.03 miles.

Conclusion

This surfacing project is intended to reduce dust for all homes in the area, improve the road infrastructure and enhance public health and safety.

Recommendation

The Public Works Department recommends approval of the USDA Forest Service Road Project Agreement No. 22-RO-11031200-232 for the cooperation in the Four Forest Restoration Initiative Control Road Surfacing.

Suggested Motion

Information/Discussion/Action to approve the USDA Forest Service Road Project Agreement No. 22-RO-11031200-232 for the cooperation in the Four Forest Restoration Initiative Control Road Surfacing in the amount of $1,500,000. (Steve Sanders)
