FDOT has jurisdiction over State Road (SR) A1A (Collins Avenue) from 25th Street to 26th Street, and SR-A1A (Indian Creek Drive) from Collins Avenue to 41st Street (SR-112), which is located within the limits of the City. The City and FDOT mutually recognize that it is in the best interest of the public to improve SR-A1A (Collins Avenue) from 25th Street to 26th Street, and SR-A1A (Indian Creek Drive) from Collins Avenue to 41st Street (SR-112) (the “Project Limits”).
The City, pursuant to Project FM#439228-2-58-01, agreed to design and construct permanent roadway and seawall improvements (the “Project,”) along the Project Limits, within FDOT and City right-of-way. Certain improvements were constructed within private properties pursuant to license agreements, easements, or other permissions or property rights secured by the City from the private property owners.
The City and FDOT have negotiated the essential terms of a Maintenance Memorandum of Agreement (MMOA), setting forth the responsibilities of each party with regard to the maintenance of the improvements within the Project Limits, a draft copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit “A”.
Pursuant to the proposed MMOA, the City will be taking over the routine maintenance of the pump structure system built within the Project Limits, drainage features built within the City’s right of way, the seawall and riprap and some miscellaneous features built outside of FDOT’s right way. The proposed MMOA also provides that the City will maintain devices used to separate the bicyclists from the travel lanes.
As part of Financial Project 439228-2-58-01, on September 30, 2016, the City and FDOT also entered into a Department Funded Agreement (DFA), as amended, for roadway and drainage improvements on S.R. A1A/Indian Creek Drive from 41st Street to 26th Street (M.P. 1.034 to M.P. 0.232).
