Title

A Resolution of the City Commission authorizing the City Manager to execute a Joint Project Agreement between the Florida Department of Transportation and the City of Coral Gables, Florida (Contract Number AP 783 - Financial Number 2523117801), for one (1) year and an additional two (2) one (1) year annual renewals, for maintenance of US Highway #1, Bird Road and Red Road within Coral Gables, Florida.

Body

The City has had a long series of agreements with the Florida Department of Transportation going back to 1983, which have compensated the City for landscape maintenance that the City performs on US #1, Bird Road and Red Road within the City.  The current contract period will terminate on October 5, 2008.  This resolution will authorize a new agreement with an initial one year term and the option to renew for two additional one year periods. The City is paid $60,338.00 per year for this work which in general entails mowing, trimming and cleanup activities.  Compensation is based on the average maintenance cost experience of the FDOT for similar work within its road system.
