Title
Resolution for Amendment to the Traffic Signal Maintenance and Compensation Agreement with FDOT (B)
This item is a request to amend the Florida Department of Transportation Traffic Signal Maintenance and Compensation Agreement and authorize the City Manager to execute all necessary documents.
Explanation
The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) currently compensates the City of Gainesville annually for maintenance of Traffic Signals and Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) infrastructure along the State Highway System (SHS). This includes traffic signals, school beacons, blank out signs, travel time detector, within city limits, and for FY20/21 Connected and Automated Vehicle Devices (CAVD). The amount to be reimbursed from the State FY20/21 is $751,209. For FY19/20, the reimbursement amount was $694,452.00. The increase is due to activation of maintenance reimbursements for CAVD devices at specific intersections, and higher reimbursement rates for Traffic Signals and ITS devices.
Fiscal Note
CAVD related positions will be filled through reclassification and/or add/drop position and shall not exceed reimbursements from FDOT.
Recommendation
The City Commission: 1) adopt the Resolution for the Amendment to the Traffic Signal Maintenance and Compensation Agreement with FDOT; and 2) authorize the City Manager to execute all necessary documents, subject to review and approval by the City Attorney as to form and legality.
