Subject: Small County O~treach Program
Dear Mayor Freeman,
As you may know, actions of the 2000 Legislative session included the creation of Section
339.2818, Florida Statutes, which established the Small County Outreach Program (SCOP).
Beginning in fiscal year 2000-2001 and for the following two years, this program provides up to
$25 million annually frOm the State Transportation Trust Fund for county road improvement
projects. This program is in addition to the Small County Road Assistance Program' (SCRAP)
funded last year through Section 339.2816, Florida Statutes. The statute provides for the
Department to fund 75% of the cost of these projects. A summary of the county and project
eligibility requirements found in the statute is attached. Monroe County has been determined to
be eligible for this program.
To accomplish this program for fiscal year 2000-2001 funding, we will need a list of two
candidate projects from Monroe County by July 1, 2000. From this list of projects from all
eligible counties, we will develop the fiscal year 2000-2001 and 2001-2002 work programs for
use of this funding. It is anticipated that probably no more than one project per eligible county
will be funded in the first year of this program.. In March 2001 we will request you to update this
list for the 2002-2003 program. Dependent upon the cost for selected projects, all eligible
counties may not have a project in each year.
The program will be coordinated and managed by the District Office. How~er, tile a:ctual-=
I .. .
projects selected for construction will be made by the Central Office in TaQ.ahassee fi~m ~! lists'
provided by the counties, taking into consid~ration the criteria established oy the new statuti:- ---
The projects will be limited to resurfacing or reconStructing county roads dr in constructing
capacity or safety improvements to county roads: . ....,. . I L,_" . -. · i
Once a project is selected for the work program., the County will need to en~ ~ troilitjPfQj~9t i SiR AT. -; ::
Agreement (JP A) with the Department as the project is jointly funded. In your response to mw .
project selection information, please indicate whether the County will manage the design and

construction of the project. This is our preference. If not, the Department will manage the
project through construction and then it will remain on the County system. Either process, the
Department will fund 75% of the project costs.
We look forward to working with you in this new program. Please provide the list as requested
to Mr. Gary L. Donn, our Director of Planning and Public Transportation and if you have any
questions concerning this matter, he can be contacted at (305) 377-5900 or at the address above.
