Funding is available in the Wastewater Fund. FUNDING SOURCE: Wastewater Fund Approved By: Michael Lamar, City Manager Item Summary Approval of this item will allow the City to move forward with the acquisition of a sewer easement necessary for the Sundog Trunk Main Phase B project. Upon approval of this item and associated easement documents, the City will make application to the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) for a right-of-way easement necessary to complete the easement purchase. Background The City entered into a contract for the design of the Sundog Wastewater Trunk Main project on April 23, 2013. The original alignment for the project was on hold awaiting completion of easement negotiations with the Prescott-Yavapai Indian Tribal lands. Phase B of the Sundog Trunk Main project includes a new 22-inch diameter high density polyethylene force main for approximately 9,200 lineal feet from the proposed State Route 89 lift station at the Veterans Administration, north to the new Sundog Trunk Main Phase A force main connection at the corner of State Route 89 and Prescott Lakes Parkway. The Sundog Trunk Main Phase B project design is complete and awaiting easements from YPIT, prior to bidding the project for construction. YPIT owns the underlying land within State Route 89 from the Granite Creek Bridge north to the Yavpe intersection. In 1944, YPIT granted a right-of-way easement to ADOT along this section of SR89 for transportation purposes only. This new easement will be for a utility and is the same easement alignment. Upon of approval of the right-of-way application to the BIA City staff will complete the purchase of the easement. I Packet Pg. 116 I
