BACKGROUND: On September 17, 2013, the Okaloosa County Board of County Commissioners approved an Inter-local Agreement between the Okaloosa County Airports Department and the Okaloosa County Public Works Department to advance the design and construction of the new direct access connector roadway (Foy Shaw Industrial Parkway) between US Highway 90 and Bob Sikes Airport. 1. Pursuant to an evaluation of roadway alignment alternatives and based upon the preferred environmental and cost feasible alternative, the FDOT Joint Participation Agreement was revised with the Supplemental Joint Participation Agreement which revises the “deliverables” language in the agreement to include the acquisition of ROW enabling the grant to fund the purchase of the required 3.07 acres of land. 2. The planned construction of the Foy Shaw Industrial Parkway connector roadway has a revised alignment between US Highway 90 and John Givens Road to the west, and south of the Bob Sikes Airport (CEW) runway protection zone (RPZ) in Crestview, Florida. The Public Works Department in coordination with the Department of Airports has determined that the preferred alignment best meets schedule, budget and environmental (wetlands) conditions. The preferred alternative is depicted as Exhibit A. 3. The 3.07 acres of ROW land required for the preferred roadway alignment was appraised and independently certified by the FDOT. The willing sellers, Mr. & Mrs. Howard have signed an agreement to sell the 3.07 acres from their 10 acre parcel at the State Certified Appraisal price of $58,000. The purchase agreement is depicted as Exhibit B. 4.
