Body

SUMMARY: 

June 3, 2015, City Council approved a Traffic Signal Maintenance and Reimbursement Agreement with the FDOT. FDOT has recently issued an amendment to the 2015 agreement and is requesting that all maintaining agencies sign the amendment.

The primary difference between this amendment and the 2015 agreement is that the state now assumes most of the liability for traffic signal mast arms and also stipulates more definite processes in the maintenance arena.  Executing the amendment automatically adopts the 2016 agreement (and revised terms) which itself does not need to be signed.  Both the amendment and the revised terms have been prepared in this manner to avoid issuance of new contract numbers/documents by FDOT for each maintaining agency.

The new maintenance agreement allows the City to continue to be reimbursed for maintenance performed by the Traffic Operations Division on the state’s traffic signals within the City of Clearwater.  City staff recommends approval of the amendment to the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) Traffic Signal Maintenance and Reimbursement Agreement
