SUBJECT: Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) Amendment No. 1 to Locally Funded Agreement (LFA) for CR510/85th Street to 58th Avenue FM Nos. 405606-3-42-02, 405606-3-43-02 and 405606-3-45-02 (IRC-2504)
__________________________________________________________________
BACKGROUND
Indian River County acquired multiple properties along County Road 510 (CR 510), extending from west of 82nd Avenue to 58th Avenue, in support of the Florida Department of Transportation’s (FDOT) CR 510 widening project (FM Nos. 405606-3-43-02 and 405606-3-45-02). These acquisitions occurred after the project was federalized in 2001.
On January 13, 2026, the Board approved a Locally Funded Agreement (LFA)in the amount of $471,600.00 and Third Party Escrow Agreement for the FDOT to fund right-of-way remediation services. These services apply to properties acquired by the County that are now being utilized for construction of the CR 510 segment from west of 82nd Avenue to 58th Avenue.
On February 12, 2026, FDOT executed an incorrect version of the Locally Funded Agreement.
On February 19, 2026, FDOT returned the Board-approved Locally Funded Agreement.
ANALYSIS
Due to a scrivener’s error by FDOT, one Financial Project Number (405606-3-42-02) was omitted from the original Local Funding Agreement (LFA). Amendment No. 1 revises the agreement to include the missing Financial Project Number.
Because FDOT executed an incorrect version of the LFA on February 12, 2026, they have requested that the Chairman sign an LFA Termination Letter indicating the County’s agreement to void the LFA executed on that date.
BUDGETARY IMPACT
Funding in the amount of $471,600 will be made available upon completion of the rollover budget amendment in the Traffic Impact Fees fund/District 1Road Improvements/Construction in Progress/CR510 & CR512 to US1-Four Lane account, number 10415141-066510-25032.
PREVIOUS BOARD ACTIONS

STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT
This action aligns with the County’s Infrastructure Strategic Plan - planning, managing and maintaining critical public infrastructure in response to our current needs, future demands and the expectations of our community.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Recommended Action
Staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners:
1. Approve Amendment No. 1 to Locally Funded Agreement with FDOT in the amount of $471,600.00;
2. Authorize the Chairman to execute the Resolution and Amendment No. 1 to the Locally Funded Agreement, FM Nos. 405606-3-42-02, 405606-3-43-02 and 405606-3-45-02.
3. Authorize the Chairman to execute the LFA Termination Letter to FDOT, thereby voiding the incorrect version of the LFA inadvertently routed and executed by FDOT.
