body
HEARING REQUIRED: No Hearing Required
SUMMARY:
This agreement is between Escambia County and the City of Pensacola in relation to the Flashing School Beacons at four (4) public schools zones, four (4) private schools zones, and two (2) school zones on State roadways. The City agreed with the Escambia County School Board to upgrade the school zones flashing beacons to a solar and automated system. This allowed for the minor relocation of some school zones to facilitate safety and the ability to program/diagnose issues from a central office location.
In development of this system the City approached Escambia County about taking over the school flashers once the upgrades were completed by the City. The County was receptive to taking over the task from the City and the City utilized the same equipment to automate the system that Escambia County IS currently implementing and using. Reimbursement to the County for the private and public flashers will be at a rate that matches the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) rate of reimbursement state-wide. That reimbursement is $340 per flasher for the first year with yearly increases to match FDOT, provided that reimbursement per beacon shall not exceed $500 annually.
