FROM: John Hofstad
SUBJECT: 12th Avenue Sidewalk Improvements (Construction LAP)
DEPARTMENT: Public Works
BCC DISTRICT: Two
STATEMENT OF ISSUE: The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) has issued a
LAP Agreement to Okaloosa County in the amount of $170,818.00 for Construction/CEI of the
12th Avenue Sidewalk Improvements Project. Construction must be completed by December 31,
2013. There is no funding match required by Okaloosa County with this Agreement.
BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS: The 12th Avenue Sidewalk Improvements Project was
first submitted to the West Florida Regional Planning Council’s Transportation Enhancement
Program for consideration in 1995. The project was found to be eligible for funding and has
been supported by annual re-submittals since that time.
The project consists of adding pedestrian sidewalk along the south side of 12th Avenue from
State Road 85 (Eglin Parkway) to 12th Street in Shalimar, FL. Design was completed in
December 2012 and funded via previous FDOT LAP Agreement.
Funding from the LAP attached will pay for the construction of the sidewalk and construction
engineering, administration & inspection services. Contracts for the construction of the
sidewalks and the engineering services will be let by Okaloosa County and all work will be
reimbursed by FDOT through the LAP agreement.
OPTIONS: Approve/Disapprove execution of the LAP Agreement and all future grant
documents during the term of the grant for construction of the 12th Avenue Sidewalk
Improvements Project; including, but not limited to, the Resolution of Authorization, and
subsequent permission to advertise the Request for Bids.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff requests the Board of County Commissioners approve execution
of the LAP Agreement and all future grant documents during the term of the grant for
