Title
Resolution for a Memorandum of Agreement with Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) to Maintain Brick Pavers in the Right of Way on West University Avenue at the United Methodist Church Sidewalk between Mile Post 19.429 and mile post 19.448 (B)
This item addresses the maintenance of brick pavers within the FDOT ROW on a portion of West University Avenue.
Explanation
When the United Methodist Church located at West University Avenue and NW 14th Street submitted their plan for redevelopment, the CRA applied their streetscape requirements to include brick pavers within the sidewalk along the West University Avenue right of way. The FDOT included a permit requirement that the City maintain all infrastructure items above what it considers to be standard items via a Memorandum of Agreement.
Several years ago the CRA installed bricks between the concrete sidewalk and the back of curb along West University Avenue. At that time the City entered into a Maintenance Agreement with the FDOT for the maintenance of those bricks. The additional bricks associated with the redevelopment of the United Methodist Church site will not substantially increase the maintenance burden on the Public Works Department.
Fiscal Note
Periodic maintenance and repair costs associated with the brick work will be covered within the existing annual operating budget of the Public Works Department.
Recommendation
The City Commission: 1) approve the resolution to enter into the Memorandum of Agreement with the Florida Department of Transportation; and 2) authorize the Mayor and Clerk of the Commission to execute the Resolution.
