BACKGROUND:

The original LAP Agreement for the design and construction of the sidewalks was originally executed in September 2010 in the amount of $416,801. The lowest responsible bidder submitted a bid which exceeded the original funding amount. Escambia County requested and received additional funding, which is included in this LAP Supplemental Agreement.

This project was submitted through and selected for funding by FDOT’s Safe Routes To School grant program. The project was selected based on its proximity to schools and that it provides connectivity with existing sidewalks. All submittal packages must include a Resolution supporting the project and an approval to submit from the local governing agency.

The Bellview Elementary School Sidewalk Project will include construction of sidewalks at the following locations:

1. Community Drive from Bellview Avenue to Godwin Lane;
2. Bellview Avenue from Mers Lane to Dallas Avenue;
3. Denver Avenue from Michigan Avenue to Bellview Avenue;
4. Dallas Avenue from Michigan Avenue to Seattle Avenue;and
5. Memphis Avenue from Michigan Avenue to Bellview Avenue.

BUDGETARY IMPACT:

A supplemental budget amendment will be prepared by the Office of Management and Budget to recognize the funding for the LAP Supplemental Agreement. FDOT will reimburse the County $107,457 under this LAP Supplemental Agreement, bringing the total reimbursement to $524,258.
