INTRODUCTION

The coordination meeting was held at 2:10 PM October 12, 2017 at the ADOT Southcentral District conferenceroom. The meeting ended at 3:10 PM.

SUMMARY

Rudy Perez, ADOT Project Manager opened the meeting at 2:10 PM. Self-introductions were made by all attendees.

Brad Olbert, Jacobs Project Manager, presented an overview of the I-10, I-19 to Kolb Road and SR 210 projectarea. Brad handed out packets of information which included seven plan sheets that showed Alternative I along I-10 from the Country Club Road TI to the Valencia Road TI and along SR 210. In addition, roadway profile information was provided to Renee for all of the I-10 mainline, I-19 to Kolb Road and SR 210.

At the last TEP coordination meeting, TEP requested a route for their service vehicles to use if UPRR train cars would cause a blockage of both Irvington Road and Ajo Way. Currently TEP would use Contractors Way to go north up to Alvernon Way. Brad showed Renee a paved maintenance roadway that utilizes parts of the old northbound segment of Contractors Way as a means to go north to Alvernon Way. The maintenance roadway will have locked gates so the roadway is not used by the public, however, the roadway would be available to bicycles. TEP would be given a set of keys for their emergency use of the roadway. A similar maintenance

roadway is located along the UPRR railroad right-of-way. This paved maintenance roadway also utilizes parts of the old southbound segment of Contractors Way as a means for access to the area near the railroad. TEP and Tucson Water will have access to the roadway by means of a locked gate. Sarah Karasz, ADOT Senior Environmental Planner, said from ADOT’s perspective the northbound maintenance roadway should not be labeled a bicycle route. Bicycle routes can become part of the formal bicycle system and can fall into a Section 4(f) category for parks. Sarah will forward information to Jacobs on this issue. Jacobs will be careful to label the route as a maintenance road.

Renee Darling provided handout information for two planning projects. The first planning project involves master planning for the Irvington Campus. The campus will upgrade and relocate its existing 138 kV substation and extend several 138 kV transmission lines within the campus. TEP is planning to construct new reciprocating internal combustion engine (RICE) generators on the Irvington Campus. TEP also plans to construct a new office building on the site and potentially widen Irvington Road to facilitate employee traffic turning movements into the site. One 138 kV transmission line crosses Alvernon Way along Irvington Road. TEPs main concern with the transmission line is to provide adequate clearance for the 138kV transmission line over our improvements and needed roadway profile information. Brad went over the roadway plan and profile information provided and showed Renee how to find the information TEP needed.

Renee covered the second planning project which involved a new 138 kV transmission line route that needs to go from their new 138 kV switching yard to a proposed substation located near 36th Street and Kino Parkway. There were a number of routes that could be taken including one through the Alvernon Way / I-10 system interchange. Brad said he will provide additional ramp profile information in the interchange area because the ramps are at different elevations than the I-10 mainline. Jacobs is developing a drainage concept using retention basins that are not shown in the plan views provided. Power poles could potentially be located within the basins the foundations will need to be a few feet taller and deeper to account for the water. Jacobs will provide the drainage concept when it is available.

Renee requested that someone from ADOT be present at the stakeholder meeting on October 23rd to represent ADOT’s position on their facilities including the planned improvements to I-10 and SR 210. Pricilla Thompson said she would be available for the meeting. Renee also requested a letter of support from ADOT for the RICE project. The letter should identify the need for coordination with power transmission lines crossing the proposed I-10 / SR 210 alignments.

ACTION ITEM LIST

Jacobs to provide additional I-10 to SR 210 ramp profile information as soon as it becomes available to TEP.Jacobs to provide the drainage design concept as soon as it is available to TEP.Sarah Karasz to provide Jacobs with information regarding labeling of bicycle routes within ADOT right-of-way.Rudy Perez will author the letter of support for the RICE project and reach out to find the appropriate individual within ADOT to sign the letter.
