Title
Resolution for Local Agency Program Agreement for the Rehabilitation of the Old Gainesville Depot (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 presently fund and implement projects and receive reimbursement when FDOT funding is scheduled. The City is requesting to enter into an agreement with FDOT for rehabilitation of the Old Gainesville Depot.
The process for selecting the project architect is currently underway. As this project must coordinate closely with remediation efforts and the development of the Depot Stormwater Park, an estimated project completion schedule has not been determined; however, building rehabilitation efforts have been scheduled to be initiated before September 1, 2002.
Fiscal Note
Funding is available through the 2002 Bond Issue to advance this project. FDOT has programmed $750,000 in FY 2006 for reimbursement.
Recommendation
The City Commission approve the Resolution authorizing execution of a Local Agency Program Agreement with the Florida Department of Transportation.
