Title
Resolution for Local Agency Program Agreement for the Building Access Improvements on the University of Florida Gainesville main Campus Project and the associated City of Gainesville Interlocal Agreement with the University of Florida (B)
Explanation
The City of Gainesville is a Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) certified local agency. This allows the City to enter into agreements with FDOT for the City to perform FDOT funded projects. FDOT funding in the amount of approximately $992,000 is available for the Building Access Improvements on the University of Florida Gainesville Main Campus Project. The University of Florida does not have a mechanism in place to receive the funding directly from the FDOT for this project. The City, through an inter-local agreement with the University of Florida and a Local Agency Program (LAP) project agreement with the FDOT, would have the means to pass through the funding from FDOT to the University of Florida.
Fiscal Note
The FDOT project funding would be passed through the City of Gainesville to the University of Florida creating no fiscal impact on the City.
Recommendation
The City Commission: 1) approve the Resolution authorizing execution of a Local Agency Program Agreement with the State of Florida Department of Transportation; and 2) authorize the City Manager to execute the Interlocal Agreement between the City of Gainesville and the University of Florida for Building Access Improvements at the University of Florida.
