BACKGROUND:
The proposed State-Funded Grant Agreement (SFGA) FPN#456984-1-54-01 addresses the construction of safety and operational improvements at the intersection of State Road (SR) 464 and SE 25th Avenue, as approved in the Fiscal Year 2025-26 Capital Improvement Plan.
The scope of the grant project includes minor widening and reconstruction of the south leg of the intersection to allow the northbound intersection approach of SE 25th Avenue at SR 464 to have a left-turn lane, shared left-turn lane/through lane, and a dedicated right-turn lane. In addition, an exclusive westbound right-turn lane and marked bike lane will be added on SR 464, along with signal retiming for the intersection.
The total estimated construction cost of the SFGA project is $773,230, and the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) agrees to reimburse the City an amount not to exceed $579,922. The City's match is $193,308. The City agrees to bear all expenses in excess of FDOT's participation.
FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS:
This Resolution is a necessary administrative and contractual requirement allowing the City to enter into a State-Funded Grant Agreement and accept the grant funds. The project is expected to enhance intersection safety, reduce vehicular congestion, delays, and travel time along SR 464.
Staff recommends approval of this State-Funded Grant Agreement.
