DESCRIPTION/BACKGROUND:
This is a request to approve the Off System Construction and Maintenance Agreement and Resolution for the Construction of a Diverging Diamond Interchange (DDI), (FPN # 435209-1-52-01) (Project) and associated improvements at Interstate 75 (I-75) and NW 49th Street, along with modifications to NW 35th Street, NW 44th Avenue, and NW 49th Street which are within Marion County rights-of-way.
The DDI requires roadway transitions, elevation changes, drainage systems, and pedestrian facilities that connect directly to existing County roadways. To achieve proper roadway geometry, grading, drainage tie-ins, and multimodal connections, portions of the Project must extend beyond FDOT’s interstate right-of-way and into existing Marion County right-of-way. This agreement authorizes FDOT to enter onto County right-of-way to perform construction activities, adjust roadway slopes and elevations to tie into County streets, construct permanent roadway, drainage, sidewalk, shared-use path, and signal improvements, perform utility construction, reconstruction, and relocation as the County’s agent, secure necessary permits, and acquire any real property interests needed for the Project and convey those interests to the County upon completion.
Upon issuance of the Notice of Final Acceptance by FDOT, Marion County will assume responsibility for ongoing maintenance of those portions of the Project located within County right-of-way, including the Community Aesthetic Feature (CAF) requested by the County. FDOT will transfer applicable permits, and the County will become the operational maintenance entity for those improvements.
