SUBJECT: Maintenance Memorandum of Agreement and Locally Funded Agreement with the Florida Department of Transportation for the Painting of Mast Arms, FM No.: 4493322-1-52-01
__________________________________________________________________
BACKGROUND
Indian River County has adopted a standard of using a factory finished U.S. government Aerospace Material Specifications (AMS) standard 595 #14066 (highway green) for traffic signal mast arms throughout the county. The objective of this project is to paint the new mast arms at the intersection of CR 512 and 108th Avenue to match the two existing green mast arms at that location.
ANALYSIS
Due to the ongoing Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) widening project (FM No. 4493322-1-52-01) on CR 512 and 108th Avenue, there is a need to replace the mast arms. Indian River County will be responsible for funding the painting of the new mast arms to maintain uniformity with the county and AMS 595 standard. AMS 595 refers to a system for the general representation and identification of colors in government procurement.
Attached is a Maintenance Memorandum of Agreement (MMOA), which outlines the respective responsibilities of the FDOT and Indian River County for the project. Also attached is a Locally Funded Agreement (LFA), which defines Indian River County's financial obligation to fund the painting of the mast arms.
BUDGETARY IMPACT
The cost for painting the mast arms is $48,540.00, as listed in the LFA Agreement. Funding will be provided from account number 10215141-066510-26001, Traffic Impact Fees/District 1 Roads/CR512 & 108th Ave Mast Arm Improvements and funded via budget amendment from Cash Forward/Oct 1st.
PREVIOUS BOARD ACTIONS
On January 31, 2023, the Board approved an FDOT Locally Funded Agreement (LFA) for the widening of CR 512 (CR 512 - 87th Street) from two lanes to four, along with other improvements. At that time, Indian River County requested the FDOT to construct sidewalks and to ensure the steel mast arm assemblies were painted federal highway green. The FDOT required the local agency’s governing board to accept maintenance responsibilities for the mast arms and sidewalks after project completion.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Recommended Action
Staff recommends the Board of County Commissioners approve the authorizing resolution for acceptance of the Locally Funded Agreement (LFA) in the amount of $48,540.00 and the Maintenance Memorandum Agreement (MMOA) and authorize the Chairman to execute the same.
