AGENDA ITEM WORDING: Approval of Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) between the
United States Coast Guard, the Florida State Historic Preservation Officer and Monroe County
regarding the replacement of the Duck Key bridges.
ITEM BACKGROUND: Four Duck Key bridges were constructed in 1955 and are considered a
historically notable resource due to the decorative railings. Due to their condition and current
geometry which is too narrow to accommodate shoulders or sidewalks for pedestrians and cyclists,
the bridge assessment report recommends replacing them with new structures. Federal and state laws
contain legislation requiring a historical assessment for transportation projects on these structures. A
Cultural Resource Assessment Survey (CRAS) was completed which is required by the State
Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) to obtain a Federal Permit for bridge replacements. This MOA
outlines the stipulations that will be adhered to during the bridge replacement design and permitting
phases.
PREVIOUS RELEVANT BOCC ACTION: In March 2014, the BOCC approved a task order with
Kisinger Campo and Associates for the Monroe County Bridge Inventory Management Project. In
September 2016, the BOCC approved a task order with Kisinger Campo & Associates for the Duck
Key Bridge Replacement Cultural Resource Assessment Survey (CRAS).

MEMORANDUM OF AGREEMENT (MOA)
BETWEEN
THE UNITED STATES COAST GUARD,THE FLORIDA STATE HISTORIC
PRESERVATION OFFICER AND MONROE COUNTY
REGARDING THE REPLACEMENT OF THE DUCK KEY BRIDGES
MONROE COUNTY, FLORIDA
WHEREAS, the United States Coast Guard (USCG) is the federal agency responsible for the
processing of a federal bridge permit application for the replacement of four bridges: Harbour
Drive Bridge (Florida Department of Transportation [FDOT] Bridge No. 904604/ Florida Master
Site File [FMSF] No. 8MO2135), Bimini Drive Bridge (FDOT Bridge No. 904603/FMSF No.
8MO2136), Truman Bridge (FDOT Bridge No. 904602/FMSF No. 8MO2137), and Rosen Bridge
(FDOT Bridge No. 904606/FMSF No. 8MO2138) (hereinafter referred to as the historic bridges)
at Duck Key by Monroe County, Florida; and
WHEREAS, the historic bridges have previously been determined to be eligible for inclusion in
the National Register of Historic Places; and
WHEREAS, the United States Coast Guard (USCG) pursuant to Section 106 of the National
Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) (54 United States Code (U.S.C.) Section 306108) and its
implementing regulations at Title 36 Code of Federal Regulations Part 800 has consulted with the
Florida State Historic Preservation Officer (SHPO); and
WHEREAS, the USCG has established an Area of Potential Effect (APE) for the replacement
project in accordance with 36 CFR Section 700.16(d) as illustrated by Exhibit A; and
WHEREAS, the USCG has determined that the replacement project requires removal of the
National Register of Historic Places (NRHP)- eligible historic bridges which will have an adverse
effect on the bridges; and has consulted with the Florida State Historic Preservation Officer
(SHPO) pursuant to 36 CFR Part 800, regulations implementing Section 106 of the National
Historic Preservation Act; and
WHEREAS, the USCG, SHPO and Monroe County consulted with the Cultural Resources
Committee (CRC), which includes locally affected parties, the Historic Florida Keys Foundation,
and a representative from the Duck Key Security District Advisory Board and Duck Key Property
Owners Association, and considered their input regarding the proposed effects as well as potential
mitigation options; and
WHEREAS, in accordance with 36 CFR § 800.6(a)(1), the USCG has notified the Advisory
Council on Historic Preservation (ACHP) of its adverse effect determination with specified
documentation, and the ACHP has chosen not to participate in the consultation pursuant to 36 CFR
§ 800.6(a)(1)(iii); and
NOW, THEREFORE, Monroe County, USCG, and SHPO agree that the Project shall be
implemented in accordance with the following stipulations in order to mitigate adverse effects to
the historic bridges.
STIPULATIONS
The USCG shall ensure that the following measures are carried out:
L Proiect Design and Construction
A. The replacement typical sections for the four bridges will consist of two lanes
(matching existing roadway approach lane width) and two striped shoulders
meeting minimum width requirements as defined by the FDOT Florida Design
Manual, Florida Green Book or American Association of State Highway and
Transportation Officials ( AASHTO) standards. Pedestrians will be accommodated
by at least one raised sidewalk meeting Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)
requirements.
B. Efforts will be made to acknowledge the historic bridge geometry and historic
railing aesthetics in the new bridge design. New construction shall be carried out
using contemporary construction methods, structural systems, dimensions and
materials so as to clearly make the replacement bridges a product of their own time
while referencing certain aesthetic design elements of the original bridges,
specifically related to the railing with the understanding that new railings will not
exactly replicate the historic railings. The bridge railings will be re- designed to
withstand the impact forces required for a TL -2 Railing, as defined in AASHTO
standards.
C. Monroe County will create a bridge aesthetics committee consisting of
representatives from the Duck Key Security District Advisory Board, Duck Key
Property Owners Association, Historic Florida Keys Foundation, and SHPO to
serve in an advisory capacity regarding appropriate design elements for the
replacement bridges that may be addressed during the design phase of the Project.
D. Should there be any substantive alterations to the Project design that could result in
adverse effects to historic resources not addressed in this agreement, Monroe
County shall notify the USCG and the SHPO of these alterations and provide the
SHPO with an opportunity to review and comment on the alterations in accordance
with Stipulation Xl.
