Explanation:
The Hollywood Beach Community Redevelopment Agency ("CRA") Plan identifies the need to eliminate slum and blight by improving circulation for pedestrians, bicyclists, and motorists, and underground the overhead utility lines. The Plan includes the conversion of overhead utility lines to underground within the public right of way of the Beach District.
The CRA Board directed staff to proceed with streetscape improvements and undergrounding of overhead utilities from Hollywood Boulevard to the southern City limits, which includes the east-west streets from Harrison Street to Magnolia Terrace, Surf Road, the street ends and harmonization to private properties from State Road A1A to the west right of way line of the Broadwalk, and State Road A1A from Hollywood Boulevard to the southern City limits.
On September 4, 2024, the CRA approved Resolution No. R-2024-291 which authorized a project funding agreement with the Florida Department of Transportation (“FDOT”) for roadway improvements along SR A1A between Monroe Street and Seacrest Parkway, for FDOT to reimburse the City an estimated amount of $3,895,947.84 after the resolution was adopted it was discovered that the reimbursement amount was incorrect and the agreement could not be routed.
Due to this error, a new resolution/exhibit needs to be approved by the CRA Board and City Commission. The CRA Board approved the companion item at their December meeting.
The scope of the project includes milling and resurfacing, upgrades to the existing pedestrian curb ramps, pavement markings and stripping, drainage component, update signalization at existing crossings, lighting upgrades at intersections and signage to comply with improvements. To build the proposed improvements under the Phase IV- SR A1A Undergrounding of Overhead Utilities and Streetscape Beautification project, the City needs to enter into a State Highway System Project Funding Agreement to set up the terms and conditions of the reimbursement of the Resurfacing, Restoration and Rehabilitation construction cost (attached as Exhibit “A”).
Fiscal Impact:
Funding for this project was included in the amended Beach CRA FY 2025 Capital Improvement Plan and is available in account number 163.639901.55200.563010.001236.000.000.
