Explanation:
On November 3, 2021, the City Commission adopted Resolution R-2021-280 in support of the Taft Street Mobility Improvement Project along Taft Street between North 40th Avenue and State Road 7. The project scope includes installation of an 8-foot to 11-foot wide shared use path and street lighting improvements along the north side of Taft Street, upgrade of existing drainage structures, and improvements to existing curb ramps, pavement markings, and signage. The Project is grant funded and is administered by Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) as the Project Administrator under FDOT Financial ID Number 429576-9-52-01/02.
To date, the Project is pending completion of utility work, asphalt paving, pavement marking, sodding, street lighting improvements, and final restoration. As part of the lighting improvements, Florida Power and Light (FPL) requires an LED Lighting Agreement (Exhibit “A”). FPL has prepared a preliminary design (Exhibit “B”) consisting of 46 new poles, 73 new fixtures, and the removal of 23 existing fixtures. The City will incur a monthly charge of $1,611.11 for the new street lighting. This monthly charge includes fees for street light poles, street light fixture rentals, energy costs and a charge of $250.25 to cover wiring, conduit and handholes. Upfront costs for the installation of the lighting improvements, along with all restoration costs related to FPL’s scope of work will be paid by FDOT through grant funding under a separate agreement between FDOT and FPL.
Fiscal Impact:
Funding for this expenditure is available in FY 2026 in the Public Works’ Non-Discretionary Operating Account.
