30-E4.2 Appendix 1 LAP agreement.pdf

This is a Local Agency Program (LAP) Agreement document involving the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) and Pasco County for a sidewalk and pedestrian safety improvement project. The agreement establishes the partnership framework for construction of a six-foot sidewalk on the east side of Fort King Road from Hester Road to north of Coleman Avenue, and a sidewalk on the west side of Fort King Road from Morningside Drive to the south side of Pasco High School property. The project scope includes enhanced pedestrian crosswalks with pushbutton-activated rapid rectangular flashing beacons and lighting at the Pasco High School property and the Coleman Avenue intersection, modifications to an existing culvert and headwall between Dixie Avenue and Poinsettia Avenue, and installation of new guardrail with reduced post spacing. The LAP agreement defines the roles, responsibilities, and obligations of both FDOT and Pasco County throughout project development and construction phases.

The agreement specifies funding arrangements, project cost sharing, and compliance requirements for the Local Agency Program, which provides federal funding through FDOT for transportation projects developed and administered by local governments. The document outlines the conditions under which Pasco County must operate and maintain the completed improvements, ensure project compliance with applicable federal and state standards, and coordinate with FDOT on project oversight and approvals. The LAP agreement establishes the legal and financial framework governing the relationship between the state and local agency, including provisions for project modifications, change orders, dispute resolution, and closeout procedures upon project completion.
