This Contamination Impact Certification document, issued by Citrus County, Florida's Department of Management & Budget through its Engineering Operations division, certifies the environmental status of the S. Apopka Avenue resurfacing project spanning from E. Anna Jo Drive to US 41. The certification, signed by Charles G. Leazott, Engineering Operations Supervisor, on April 24, 2024, confirms that no potential for contamination was identified during the contamination impact evaluation conducted in accordance with the Florida Department of Transportation Project Development and Environment Manual, Part II Chapter 20. The project, identified by Financial Project Number 449062-1-54-01, encompasses approximately 3.6 miles of roadway requiring milling and resurfacing operations across two distinct segments with specific asphalt placement specifications and Material Transfer Vehicle requirements.

The certification satisfies environmental prerequisite requirements for the ITB 25-111 Small County Outreach Program road resurfacing project, enabling the project to proceed to competitive bidding and construction phases. This clearance is critical for the project timeline, with the mandatory pre-bid conference scheduled for March 3, 2026, bid submission deadline of March 24, 2026 at 2:00 PM, and anticipated Board approval for June 22, 2026. The project is funded entirely through a Florida Department of Transportation Small County Outreach Program grant, with the County budgeting approximately $1,630,270 for completion. Contractors must meet FDOT prequalification requirements in Hot Plant-Mixed Bituminous Courses and Pavement Marking, with substantial completion required within 90 calendar days and final completion within 120 calendar days from Notice to Proceed.
