_________________________________________________________________________________________
BACKGROUND
Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) requires that the local agency governing board approve a resolution accepting the attached Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) outlining conditions for the acceptance and maintenance of properties acquired for the project before and during construction of the project. The use of Federal funding for the maintenance of the acquired property before and during construction is not allowable for off-system projects. The resolution endorses FDOT’s delivery of the project that is within the local agency’s right of way or local jurisdiction.
ANALYSIS
The County will be responsible for the maintenance of all property acquired for right-of-way prior to and during construction which includes responding to and addressing Code Enforcement violations and complaints from the public as well as any required mowing and litter removal during construction.
BUDGETARY IMPACT
Maintenance expenses of the acquired properties will be included in the Public Works Road and Bridge Division budget. Once right-of-way is acquired by FDOT, the properties will be added to the Public Works Road and Bridge Division maintenance schedule.
