B. Adopt a Resolution authorizing the Chairman to sign the LAP Agreement.

[Funding Source: Fund 352, "LOST III"]

BACKGROUND:

The purpose of this Agreement is to enter into a Local Agency Program between Escambia County (hereinafter referred to as the County) and the Florida Department of Transportation (hereinafter referred to as the Department and/or FDOT), regarding funding $40,000 for the design of sidewalks along North 'W' Street (CR 453) from Navy Boulevard (SR 30) north to Buddy's Lane.

The Board authorized staff to submit this project to the Department in February 2015 for funding through the Transportation Alternatives Program. At that time, the proposed limits were North 'W' Street (CR 453) from Fairfield Drive (SR 295) to Navy Boulevard (SR 30). FDOT selected the current segment, North 'W" Street (CR 453) from Navy Boulevard (SR 30) north to Buddy's Lane, based on their field review. This design phase of this project has been selected for funding this year. County staff will administer the hiring of a design consultant, and the County will be reimbursed by the Department for the cost of design. It is estimated that $40,000 will cover all of the design costs.

A separate submittal for construction funding will be submitted to the Department in the Spring of 2017.

BUDGETARY IMPACT:

The Department will reimburse the County $40,000 for expenses related to the design of this project. A supplemental budget amendment will be prepared by the Office of Management and Budget to recognize the funding for the LAP Agreement.

Funds are available in Fund 352, "LOST III"
