Title

Resolution to execute a Construction & Maintenance Agreement with the State of Florida Department of Transportation (B)

This is a request for the City Commission to adopt a Resolution for the City of Gainesville to execute a Construction & Maintenance Agreement with the State of Florida Department of Transportation for safety improvements on certain City Streets intersecting State roadways inside the City Limits.

Explanation

Staff received a request from the Florida Department of Transportation District Two Safety Office regarding some planned safety improvements on the State Highway System inside the Gainesville City Limits.  In addressing these safety issues, the Florida Department of Transportation will also make safety improvements to the city streets that approach the State roads.  The City streets approaching the State Highways are as follows:

1.                     NE 2^nd Street / 5^th Terrace approaching NE 23^rd Avenue (SR 120);

2.                     NW 30^th Place approaching NW 34^th Street (SR 121);

3.                     SW 24^th Avenue approaching SW 34^th Street (SR 121);

4.                     NW 11^th Avenue approaching NW 13^th Street (US 441);

5.                     NE/SE 13^th Street approaching East University Avenue (SR 20/26);

6.                     NE/SE 18^th Street approaching East University Avenue (SR 26); and

7.                     NW 1^st Street approaching NW 8^th Avenue (SR 20);

These improvements are being made by the Florida Department of Transportation as a result of traffic crash analysis on State Roadways within the City of Gainesville.

Fiscal Note

There is no fiscal impact associated with this Agreement.  The City of Gainesville already maintains the traffic signs and pavement markings on these City owned streets.

Recommendation

The City Commission: 1) adopt the Resolution; and 2) authorize the City Manager to execute the Construction and Maintenance Agreement with the Florida Department of Transportation subject to the City Attorney's approval as to form and legality.
