BACKGROUND:

Escambia County and the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) entered into a Transportation Regional Incentive Program (TRIP) Agreement on February 21, 2007, which was subsequently amended by the parties, to perform a Design Phase of SR 173 (Blue Angel Parkway) from SR 292 (Sorrento Road) to SR 30 (US 98).

Escambia County and FDOT have agreed that it is in the best interest of all concerned to transfer all duties under the Agreement with HDR Engineering, Inc. from Escambia County to FDOT, essentially reversing the Contract Agreements.

On April 18, 2013, the documents and transfer were approved by the Board but there were some questions on the dollar amount. At this time, both parties are in agreement and ready to proceed with this transfer. Because the previous documents were signed by the Escambia County Board of County Commissioners so long ago, we have been asked to update these documents.

BUDGETARY IMPACT:

Funds for this transfer are available in Fund 352, “LOST III,” Cost Center 210107/56301, Project #08EN0038 - $122,333; Fund 152, “Southwest Sector CRA,” Cost Center 210508/56301, Project #08EN0062 - $256,764.

Escambia County will, within fourteen calendar days of the execution of this Agreement, furnish FDOT an advance deposit in the amount of $379,097 for full payment of the County's 50% share of the estimated project cost.

LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS/SIGN-OFF:

Kristin Hual, Assistant County Attorney, reviewed and approved the Amendment to Transportation Regional Incentive Program (TRIP) Agreement by and between State of Florida, Department of Transportation and Escambia County, Florida, the Locally Funded Agreement between the State of Florida Department of Transportation and Escambia County for Project #421012-1-38-01, the State of Florida Department of Transportation Assignment Agreement for Project #421012-1-38-01, and the Resolution as to form and legal sufficiency.
