Council will be involved in public presentations. Councilman Blair asked if the City would be involved in the bidding. Mr. Nietupski said that it will be completely administered by Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT). Mr. Nietupski said the White Spar project is driven by the ADOT project to improve White Spar/State Route 89, south of Copper Basin Road. ADOT will be constructing curb and gutter and new sidewalks. It is determined that the City's waterlines, located in the ADOT right of way, need to be replaced for the project. The project will remove a 6"- 8" water main and replace it with a 12" water main. Mayor Kuykendall asked if the City would be working on this if ADOT had not done the project. Mr. Nietupski said it would have been on the work schedule, but was made a priority due to the ADOT project.
