The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) Master Agreement ASE76 is an Indefinite Delivery Vehicle (IDV) focused on railroad-related preliminary engineering services for transportation infrastructure projects. This master agreement enables FDOT to engage CSX Transportation, Inc. for comprehensive preliminary engineering review prior to construction, specifically covering activities such as evaluating potential road system modifications, bridge replacements, and lane widening projects that intersect with railroad rights of way. The IDV provides a structured framework for conducting detailed engineering assessments, preparing project plans, and developing cost estimates for transportation infrastructure improvements involving railroad crossings and adjacent facilities.

The master agreement is awarded to CSX Transportation, Inc. and was originally established on September 15, 1998, with a contract period extending through December 31, 2050. The contract is a state-level master agreement specific to Florida, utilizing a Force Account Method for reimbursement and covering projects across Hillsborough, Pinellas, and other Florida counties. While specific change orders under this IDV have authorized project-specific work ranging from $50,000 to $856,319, the overall contract includes federal and state funding provisions, with reimbursement mechanisms that require detailed progressive billing within 180 days of work completion. The IDV also incorporates compliance requirements such as E-Verify employment verification and Buy America provisions.
