[Funding Source: Fund 152, "Southwest Sector," Cost Center 110269, Object Code 56301] |
| BACKGROUND: |
The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) is pursuing the development of design plans for the Blue Angel Parkway capacity project and they have determined a need for additional funding from Escambia County as there is an existing Transportation Regional Incentive Program (TRIP) Agreement in place between the two agencies (see attached herein). The project will widen Blue Angel Parkway to a four lane facility from Sorrento Road to US 98.
Meeting in regular session on January 21, 2016, the Board authorized utilizing Fund 152, "Southwest Sector", Cost Center 110269, Object Code 56301, in the amount of $213,614 to fund Escambia County's portion of the design for the widening of Blue Angel Parkway from Sorrento Road to US 98.
Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) previously solicited the services of HDR, Inc. to produce engineered design plans for the above-mentioned road widening project. HDR was able to produce 60% design plans from the original design budget, and has re-negotiated with FDOT, at a cost of $427,228, to complete the design plans. Per the TRIP Agreement, the County is to fund 50% of the remaining design portion of $213,614. |

| Funds for this project are available in Fund 152, "Southwest Sector," Cost Center 110269, Object Code 56301. |
