Recommendation Concerning Crabtree Church Road - Local Agency Program Agreement - Joy D. Blackmon, P.E., Public Works Department Director
That the Board authorize the Chairman to sign a letter terminating the Crabtree Church Road - Local Agency Program Agreement with the Florida Department of Transportation.
BACKGROUND:
In May of 2008 the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) solicited counties to submit for Transportation Enhancement Program funding in the rural areas of the county. We submitted to install paved shoulders on three roads; Molino Road, County Road (CR)-4, and Crabtree Church Road. In 2009, FDOT selected Crabtree Church Road to be funded for design in 2011 and for construction in 2015. The Design began in July 2012. Design documents are complete. The cost of the design was $138,810 thru the design LAP agreement with an additional $20,410 of LOST III for LAP requirements and minimal Construction Administration.
The Local Agency Program (LAP) agreement was executed by the BCC and FDOT in January of 2014 in the amount of $1,388,244 based upon 2014 estimates. Bids were received in April of 2015 with the lowest responsive bidder being $2,320,000. This will also require an additional $232,000 for Construction Engineering and Inspection bringing the difference to $1,163,753.
Attached is a County Staff Report/Evaluation of the roadway, including crash history, roadway cross sections, etc.
