This is a Right of Way Certification document completed by Citrus County, Florida for a Small County Outreach Program (SCOP) resurfacing project on County Road 470 (Gospel Island Road) from North Apopka Avenue to State Road 44. The project, identified as Financial Project Number 450593 in District 7, involves milling approximately four inches of existing asphalt and overlaying with two inches of SP 12.5 and two inches of FC 12.5 asphalt with PG 76-22 polymer binder. The certification, signed by Walt Eastmond, Technical Services Director, on April 13, 2026, confirms that right of way was acquired in compliance with applicable state and federal law, no persons or businesses required relocation, no structures required demolition, and no asbestos abatement was necessary for the project area. Title to all property and easements needed for the construction project is vested in either the Florida Department of Transportation or state or local government entities, with sufficient authority obtained to maintain the proposed improvements.

The certification confirms that all necessary compliance requirements have been met or will be addressed through the construction contract. The project will proceed under FDOT FY2026-27 Standard Plans and Standard Specifications for Road and Bridge Construction, with pavement markings and signage meeting current FDOT Green Book criteria and the latest MUTCD requirements. The unit price bid contract will compensate contractors at the contract unit price per ton for asphalt, regardless of actual depth or quantities required to achieve required finished roadway geometry and surface conditions. All asphalt materials must be identified on the current FDOT Asphalt Design Plant Assignment Sheet, and the project is limited to resurfacing within the existing edges of pavement.
