Russo, City Manager <br /> DATE: 7/20/2017 <br /> RE: Florida Department of Transportation Department <br /> Funded Agreement (DFA)for Street Lightings. <br /> RECOMMENDATION: <br /> The City has long planned the upgrade of the outdated and <br /> malfunctioning street lights along Collins Avenue. For this upgrade to <br /> occur along with the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) <br /> Resurfacing, Restoring, and Rehabilitation project (RRR)we agreed to <br /> fund the upgraded decorative street lights instead of the FDOT <br /> designed street lights in accordance with its standards which would <br /> have been the existing cobra heads. The decorative streetscape lights <br /> to be installed for which we have tested at the North West side of <br /> Collins Avenue and south east end of Collins Avenue over the years. <br /> Therefore, after discussing with FDOT, we decided to work towards <br /> this DFA agreement which has FDOT reimbursing the City for the base <br /> cost of constructing and installing standard street lights, and those <br /> funds applied to the cost of the decorative street lights construction and <br /> installation. This agreement includes two phases to deal with state <br /> funding and the required coordination with the RRR work. We expect <br /> the reimbursement to the City to be of an approximately amount of over <br /> $2 million dollars. <br /> REASONS: <br /> ATTACHMENTS: <br /> 115 <br />
