SUBJECT: Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) Amendment 1 to Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) for 82nd Avenue/CR619 from 26th Street to 69th Street, Financial Project No. 230879-3, IRC-1756
__________________________________________________________________
BACKGROUND
Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) requires that the local agency governing board approve a resolution accepting the attached Amended Memorandum of Agreement (amended 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
FDOT has requested that the County execute and approve an amended MOA. This amendment reflects coordination between IRC and the Sebastian River Improvement District (SRID) with FDOT to ensure consistent language in Attachment A, specifically regarding the legend describing future maintenance responsibilities between IRC and SRID upon project completion.
In addition, a statement was added to the amended MOA noting that the executed SRID MOA and IRC amended MOA will be recorded in the public records to ensure availability for future staff of all agencies. In the attached version of the amended MOA, this statement is included as Provision 8.
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.
PREVIOUS BOARD ACTIONS
On April 8, 2025, the Board approved a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) for 82nd Avenue/CR619 from 26th Street to 69th Street that outlined 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.
STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT
The design and construction of 82nd Avenue from 26th Street to 69th Street aligns with the Transportation Infrastructure objectives to provide an additional north and south travel way in the north county. This road segment is listed on the 2045 Long Range Transportation Plan.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Recommended Action
Staff recommends the Board of County Commissioners approve the Authorizing Resolution for acceptance of the amended MOA and authorize the Chairman to execute the same.
