This is a Utility Certification Memo issued by the Citrus County Department of Public Works, Division of Technical Services, in coordination with the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) District 7 Local Programs office for the Small County Outreach Program (SCOP) milling and resurfacing project on E. Gospel Island Road (CR 470) from N. Apopka Avenue to SR 44 (FPN 450593-1-54-01). The memo, dated April 13, 2026, certifies that all utility work has been completed or necessary arrangements have been made to undertake and complete the project in accordance with the required coordination schedule with physical construction. The project scope includes milling approximately four inches of existing asphalt pavement and overlaying with two inches of SP 12.5 and two inches of FC 12.5 asphalt layers using PG 76-22 polymer binder, with all work limited to resurfacing within existing pavement edges. The certification confirms that no utility adjustments are anticipated for the project, and the memo is signed by Walt Eastmond, Technical Services Director, with provision for acknowledgment by the FDOT District 7 Utilities Office.

The memo emphasizes that FDOT District 7 Utilities Office acknowledgment does not relieve the local agency or its contractor of responsibility for utility coordination during construction. All asphalt materials must comply with FDOT Asphalt Design Plant Assignment requirements, and pavement markings and signage must meet current FDOT Green Book criteria and MUTCD standards. The project will be awarded as a unit price bid contract with payment based on contract unit price per ton of asphalt, regardless of actual depth or quantities required to achieve the specified finished roadway geometry and surface conditions. The work is governed by FDOT FY2026-27 Standard Plans for Road and Bridge Construction and Standard Specifications for Road and Bridge Construction.
