PROJECT: NA
PURPOSE:
The Public Works Department has solicited construction services for the Powers Drive at North Lane project. The proposed intersection improvements include pavement widening along the east and west side of Powers Drive for the addition of a southbound left turn lane, pavement widening on the north and south sides for the addition of westbound left and right turn lanes, milling and resurfacing, new sidewalks, new curb ramps, drainage improvements, maintenance of traffic, erosion control, clearing and grubbing, signing and pavement markings, and concrete driveway reconstruction. The project length is approximately 1,373 feet.
This project is funded in accordance with the Local Agency Program (LAP) Agreement that was approved by the Board of County Commissioners on November 14, 2023. The Florida Department of Transportation and MetroPlan Orlando have agreed to increase the federal fund amount to $2,444,413 (formally $1,980,316) and reduce the County’s share to $233,925 (formally $273,081). Orange County Public Works will seek to reduce or eliminate future funding gaps by requesting additional funding through MetroPlan Orlando.
The County Attorney’s Office, Risk Management Division, Public Works Engineering Division, Highway Construction Division, and Transportation Planning Division have reviewed this Resolution and Supplemental Agreement and find them acceptable.
