Request to authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to enter into agreements between the Aviation Department and Arizona Public Service (APS) associated with design and construction of primary power to support the PHX Sky Train (Project) at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport (PSHIA).
The Aviation Department (Aviation) is building Stage 1 of the PHX Sky Train project which will be operated between 44th Street and Washington Street and extend south to the East Economy Parking area, then west to Terminal 4. Aviation has requested that APS design and build the required electrical system infrastructure to provide electric service at a delivery voltage of 12.47kV no later than September 1, 2010.
APS proposes providing electric service via two fully redundant underground distribution feeders from APS' 40th Place Substation located at 40th Place, south of Van Buren Street to the Project's designated "point of delivery" which is to be located at a site east of 42nd Street and north of the Union Pacific Railroad. Exact routes for the proposed underground distribution feeders along with the relocation of APS' 69kV, 12kV, and fiber optic lines will be determined in coordination with the project team.
Financial Impact
APS costs are estimated at $2,500,000 and include all subconsultant, subcontractor, and reimbursable costs. APS requires a deposit of $250,000 which represents APS' estimated costs of project management, engineering, design, and the procurement of long-lead-time equipment and materials needed for the project. The amount of the deposit will be applied towards APS' final invoice to Aviation.

AV10000010 - PHX SKY TRAIN LINE EXTENSION, STAGE 1A FACILITIES DESIGN FOR EARLY CONSTRUCTION PACKAGES (ARRA)
Request to authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to approve an amendment to Contract 123410 with Gannett Fleming, Inc., the Facilities Designer for the PHX Sky Train project, to provide facilities design for the PHX Sky Train Stage 1A Early Construction Packages at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport. The PHX Sky Train Stage 1A project includes fixed facilities and systems design and construction required to extend Stage 1 of the PHX Sky Train guideway from the Terminal 4 Station to a new station at Terminal 3. Due to the need to advance the project schedule, the approval of this amendment is a critical milestone in Aviation's efforts to begin construction if grant funding is awarded through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) Transportation Investment Generating Economic Recovery (TIGER) program.
Gannett Fleming was selected as the facilities designer for all stages of the PHX Sky Train through a qualifications-based procurement process in accordance with Section 34-603 of the Arizona Revised Statutes as managed by the City Engineer. The City Council initially authorized an agreement with Gannett Fleming for facilities design services for the PHX Sky Train on June 23, 2004 (Contract 112351). The City Council subsequently approved Contract 123410 on April 9, 2008, to provide Stage 1 final facilities design services for the PHX Sky Train project.
Under these contracts, Gannett Fleming has been responsible for defining, coordinating, and designing all fixed facilities associated with the PHX Sky Train. These services include compilation of design criteria, design plans, renderings, mapping, geotechnical assessments, passenger flow analyses, fire/life safety, emergency egress studies, and other design services. Additional design support tasks include project budget and contract controls, records management, scheduling and phasing, cost estimating, and coordination with other PHX Sky Train, Aviation, and surrounding project consultants, contractors, and stakeholders.
If approved, the scope of this proposed amendment would progress the PHX Sky Train Stage 1A project from 30 percent design to 100 percent design completion for certain early construction packages necessary to be prepared to start construction in the event of a grant award in early 2010.
Financial Impact
The Facilities Designer's fee for design and related support services shall not exceed $4,000,000, including all subconsultant and reimbursable costs.

Authorization is also requested for the City Controller to disburse the funds.
The Royal Suites Apartments acquisition and rehabilitation project is an 80-unit apartment complex located at 10421 North 33rd Avenue. The project will serve a special needs population, homeless men, women, and small families below 50 percent of area median income with 15 studios at 475 square feet; 25 studios at 525 square feet, and 13 one-bedroom units at 605 square feet. Current zoning is R4A with no change in use. Ten percent of the units (8) will be accessible for persons with disabilities.
Total project cost is estimated at $4,325,000 to be funded with the City NSP Loan, U. S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Continuum of Care Funds and borrower equity. The NSP funding award is contingent upon the REO (Real Estate Owned) lender meeting the federal requirement of selling the property for one percent below appraised value and the City receiving a Release of Funds from HUD. The City NSP loan will be at zero percent interest and forgiven on the anniversary of the project's 30-year period of affordability.
Arizona Housing, Inc. is proposing substantial rehabilitation of the Royal Suites Apartments incorporating numerous green strategies including insulation of exterior walls, double paned windows, Energy Star rated appliances, and water conserving landscaping.
The City is a funding partner in two other Arizona Housing, Inc. housing projects serving homeless persons and families: Horace Steele Commons, with 84 units of permanent housing serving homeless men and women, and the Vista Colina Emergency Family Homeless Shelter, providing 30 units of emergency housing for families.
As part of the City's $39,400,000 NSP Program funding award to address the significant foreclosure issue in Phoenix, $4,000,000 in NSP funds was available through a Request for Proposals (RFP) process to preserve affordable rental opportunities meeting the program's mandate to serve at least 25 percent of households with incomes below 50 percent of area median income. Responses to the RFP were due on September 10, 2009, and only one application was received. Staff has reviewed the Royal Suites application and has determined the project feasible.
Housing Impact
Affordable rental housing is generally defined as housing provided to individuals or families between 40 percent and 60 percent of the annual Area Median Income ($23,700 to $35,600 for a family of three). The approval of funding for the acquisition and rehabilitation of the Royal Suites Apartments will assist the Housing Department in maintaining its mission of providing affordable housing for very-low income homeless persons and families in Phoenix.
