HEARING REQUIRED: No Hearing Required
SUMMARY:
On September 20, 2017, City Council appropriated $1,516,000 of Local Option Sales Tax Series IV funds for the West Cervantes Street Corridor Improvements Project. City of Pensacola entered into a Locally Funded Agreement with The State of Florida Department of Transportation and contributed to them a lump sum payment in the amount $1 Million dollars to which they undertook and administered this project.
Engineering and Construction Services is requesting that City Council authorize the transfer and use of the remaining budget balance in the West Cervantes Street Corridor Improvements which is available within the Local Option Sales Tax Fund. Specifically, the remaining balance of $516,000.00 be utilized to fund a Street Reconstruction Project for South “S” Street and South “P” Street funded within the Local Option Sales Tax Fund.
To expound, both S. “P” Street and S. “S” Street between Jackson Street and Cervantes Street meet established criteria for reconstruction, are substandard in nature, lack curb and gutter, and pose a potential safety hazard in their current state. Given their connection to West Cervantes and the need to upgrade these streets to City standard, it has been determined the use of the remaining $516,000 is reasonable.
This $516,000 will be required for the entirety of this project including survey, design, bidding, and construction. As a significant cost saving measure, the survey will be provided by the City Surveyor and the entirety of the design, bidding, and project management will be performed by the City Engineer and his staff. Should this project go through the bidding process and result in the $516,000 being depleted, the funding shortage will be covered by the LOST funds for sidewalk improvements.

July 18, 2019 - City Council authorized the execution of a Locally Funded Agreement (LFA) with FDOT relating to cost sharing for the West Cervantes Street corridor pedestrian safety improvement, complete streets and corridor management project.
