Item I06BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY Meeting Date: August 15, 2012 Division: Growth Management Bulk Item: Yes x No _ Department: Planning and Environmental Resources Staff Contact Person/Phone #: Trish Smith, ph. 304-0412 AGENDA ITEM WORDING: Approval of the local ranking of the 2016 Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) Enhancement Applications. ITEM BACKGROUND: In the first quarter of 2012, the FDOT opened the Transportation Enhancement Program application cycle. There is approximately $4,000,000 available in FY 2016 for the provision of alternative transportation (bicycle/pedestrian) facilities to be distributed between Miami -Dade and Monroe Counties. Monroe County Planning Department staff facilitated a local ranking meeting for projects within Monroe County on July 25, 2012. A total of four applications, three from Monroe County and one from City of Marathon, were reviewed. Staff utilized criteria developed by the FDOT as a guideline to rank local priorities that qualify for enhancement grants. The Monroe BOCC, as the designated Metropolitan Planning Organization for our area, is responsible for approving the local priorities prior to the transmittal of grant applications to the FDOT. Once the FDOT receives the applications, they will review the applications in order of local preference to determine, 1) if the project qualifies for the program; 2) whether the project can be implemented in timely manner, and 3) whether the LAP agency has a successful record in completing LAP projects. FDOT Evaluation Criteria are attached to this agenda item. Project awards are anticipated to be announced in early 2013. Staff recommends the following ranking: Project Applicant Ranking Aviation Boulevard Bike Path City of Marathon 1 (total score 185) Key Largo Pedestrian Bridge Monroe County 2 (total score 182) Atlantic Boulevard Re -Alignment Monroe County 3 (total score 156) Pigeon Key Ramp Monroe County 4 (total score 122) PREVIOUS RELEVANT BOCC ACTION: None CONTRACT/AGREEMENT CHANGES: NA STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS: Approval TOTAL COST: INDIRECT COST: BUDGETED: Yes X No _ COST TO COUNTY: $0 SOURCE OF FUNDS: REVENUE PRODUCING: Yes No X AMOUNT PER MONTH Year APPROVED BY: County Atty _ OMB/Purchasing Risk Management _ DOCUMENTATION: Included X Not Required DISPOSITION: AGENDA ITEM # Revised 1/09 Meeting Summary 2016 Enhancement Funding Cycle for Monroe County Projects Ranking Meeting 7/25/12 The Selection Committee (Committee) for the 2016 FDOT Enhancement Cycle met on Wednesday, July 2S, 2012. The meeting began at 10:OOam at the Marathon Government Center. The committee was comprised of one representative for each local government who submitted a funding request. The meeting was publicly noticed in the local newspapers. No members of the public were in attendance. Trish Smith, Monroe County Transportation Planning Manager and Carlos Solis, City of Marathon Director of Engineering ranked the applications. Enhancement funding is allocated for alternative transportation projects. The Committee reviewed and discussed each eligible project. Each committee member was provided a score sheet that included the ranking criteria provided by the FDOT. The FDOT criteria are attached. A total of four potential projects were evaluated and ranked. 1) Aviation Boulevard Bike Path — This project proposal includes the upgrade and extension of a shared use path along the south side of Aviation Boulevard behind the Marathon Airport. It will connect neighborhoods with a variety of county facilities, marinas, and commercial enterprises. The path will provide a link to the Florida Keys Overseas Heritage Trail on US 1. Planning, design, and construction funds were requested for this project. 2) Atlantic Boulevard Road Re -Alignment (Higgs Beach Master Plan) —This project request was for design and construction funds to relocate Atlantic Boulevard as part of the Higgs Beach Master Plan. The county submitted this request last year; however, the FDOT determined that a Planning, Development, and Environment (PD&E) Study would need to be performed prior to allocating design and construction funding. FDOT further determined in June 2012 that, due to the complexities of cultural and environmental issues associated with the project, the FDOT will perform the PD&E Study in house instead of providing the funding to the County to implement through the Local Agency Program (LAP). 3) Pigeon Key Ramp — The ramp leading from the Old 7 Mile Bridge to Pigeon Key is in poor condition. This project request is for design and construction funds to make repairs to the old ramp and make it structurally sound. 4) Key Largo Pedestrian Bridge — This project request is for design and construction funds for a pedestrian bridge across Adams Cut in Key Largo. The bridge will provide a connection for the Bayside Shared Use Path, which is currently under design by the county. After thorough discussion, each committee member, working independently, scored each of the applications. Committee member scores were individually summed and ranked. The final ranking was determined by totaling the scores for each project. (Score sheets are attached.) The final ranking was as follows: Proiect Aoolicant Rankine Aviation Boulevard Bike Path City of Marathon 1(total score 185) Key Largo Pedestrian Bridge Monroe County 2 (total score 182) Atlantic Boulevard Re -Alignment Monroe County 3 (total score 156) Pigeon Key Ramp Monroe County 4 (total score 122) This ranking will be submitted to the Monroe County Board of County Commissioners in August 2012. Upon approval by the BOCC, the projects will be forwarded to FDOT for their consideration. These projects will compete with projects submitted by Miami -Dade County for a total of approximately $4,000,000 in enhancement funding to be allocated in Fiscal Year 2016. There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 11:15 am. 2012 FDOT TRANSPORTATION ENHANCEMENT PROGRAM CYCLE FINAL RANKING SHEET , i i > v 3 a E� = o co�� di �� Y a m O di PROJECT- ' m No i iii V d he.

TEP SelectCrit April 2012 3 Last Modified 03/2011 FDOT District Six Project Evaluation The District will evaluate each project in two phases as follows: • Phase I Technical Evaluation, and • Phase II Project Presentation (if applicable). The projects with the highest ranking Technical Evaluation scores in Phase I will be selected for the Phase II Project Presentation evaluation. The number of projects selected to present at the District Six Scoping Committee will be based on sum of the County Agency and Technical Evaluation scores and overall available funding. Phase I Technical Evaluation (see attached Technical Evaluation Matrix) The Technical Evaluation will be conducted as described below. The District Six Scoping Committee will evaluate each application according to the following criteria (100 possible total points): 1) Up to 25 points for ability to implement project. Scoring will account for the status of the associated project development regarding project design/implementation plan completion and production scheduling. If applicable, scoring will account for status of all required non- FDOT permits. 2) Up to 25 points for project cost estimating based upon the level of detail provided ranging from order of magnitude estimates to an opinion of probable costs using unit prices including estimates for required professional services. 3) Up to 25 points for previous performance on administering previously awarded TEP funds and current funding levels for active projects. Score will also account for a history (if any) of deferrals of previous awards for the subject sponsor. 4) Up to 25 points for county agency prioritization. The top ranked project from each county agency will received 25 points, the second ranked project from each county will receive 24 points, the third ranked projects from each county will receive 23 points, etc. The overall top ranking projects will be required to present to the FDOT District Six Scoping Committee. TEP SelectCrit April 2012 4 Last Modified OY2011 Phase 11 Project Presentation (see attached Presentation Evaluation Matrix) The District Six Scoping Committee will score each project up to 100 points for each presentation and the scores will be added to the Technical Evaluation score to a maximum total of 200 points. The Districtwide ranking will be submitted to FDOT District Six Oversight Committee for review and approval. Once approved, the District Secretary or Designee will issue letters of award to each successful application. Project Implementation Projects prioritized in this funding cycle will be programmed into the FDOT 5-Year Work Program. Project sponsors will be responsible for working with FDOT to execute project funding agreements in a timely manner. Federal law requires that each project be administered under the rules and procedures governing federally funded transportation projects including right- of-way certification, environmental review and Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliance. The FDOT Local Agency Program (LAP) will control the project funding process. Project sponsors must enter into a LAP agreement with FDOT prior to the start of any work for which they wish to be reimbursed. Funds spent by the sponsor before execution of a LAP agreement cannot be reimbursed by FDOT. Please note: LAP projects must meet federal requirements and standards.

The City of Marathon prides itself on being "the Heart of the Florida Keys", a progressive family -oriented community that enjoys a beautiful natural environment Fhe residential area along Aviation Boulevard, which skirts the perimeter of the Florida Keys Marathon Airport and intersects with Stirrup Key, is in the heart of the City itself and embodies its values. Nowhere else in Marathon is the sense of community stronger. (As just one example, the Aviation Boulevard community hosts an annual Halloween block party, open to all the children of Marathon, providing a fun yet safe celebration of an increasingly popular holiday-) The rebuilding/extension of the bike path will complete a loop around the airport, connecting this path to US I (The Florida Keys Heritage Trail) at both ends. The wider, well -lit path will encourage residents and visitors of all ages to make greater use of the path to walk, cycle and skate for recreational purposes. It will also offer a safer, more attractive mode for non -motorized users to access local businesses at both ends of the circuit and the US I corridor. Additionally, the extended path will provide an improved link to bus stops on 68"' and 92"d Streets. (c) Where is the project located (and what is the project length and termini, If appropriate)? Include location map. the proposed project is located along Aviation Boulevard in the City of Marathon. The existing bike path runs from the south * of Aviation Boulevard (72"d Street) and US I to 107'h Street.

Studies have indicated that the built environment has a significant impact on our physical and mental health, especially that of youth. It appears that the way neighborhoods are designed -particularly in terms of proximity and connectivity to local destinations, including schools and shopping centers, and the presence of footpaths -becomes a determinant of whether children are able, and are permitted by their parents, to walk and use destinations locally. If older children and adolescents are to enjoy the health and developmental benefits of independent mobility, a key priority must be to reduce exposure to traffic and to increase surveillance on streets through neighborhood and building design, by encouraging others to walk locally, and by discouraging motor vehicle use in favor of walking and cycling. The proposed Aviation Boulevard project will foster such a neighborhood and thus stimulate the desired physical activity. Moreover, the enhancements will facilitate the social inclusion of other segments of the population, especially the elderly and the disabled, who often have far more free time at their disposal than the general population. Residents and visitors of all ages and varying physical abilities will benefit greatly from implementation of this project, which when concluded will link the Aviation Boulevard community to the Florida Keys Heritage Trail and other existing recreational pathways throughout Marathon. w —r% PReUMINMY CESIGN AVtwCh 8OULIEVARD 'r S a p "Wd PATH IMPROWMENT3 I M' Existing Aviation Bike Trail Attachrraem D Sponsored by: I lernstudt CITY OF MARATHON, FLORIDA RESOLUTION 2012-68 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF MARATHON, FLORIDA, AUTHORIZING THE SUBMISSION OF A TRANSPORTATION ENHANCEMENT GRANT APPLICATION TO THE FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION IN THE AMOUNT OF UPTO $2,000,000.00 FOR THE RECONSTRUCTION OF THE BIKE TRAIL FROM US 1 AND AVIATION BLVD.

Project Description: Page 2 of 3 Use additional sheets as necessary to respond to the following: (a) What type of work is being proposed? (Check all that apply) Planning Activities Project Development and Environmental Studies x Engineering and Final Plans Preparation Work Right of Way Acquisition x Construction x Construction Engineering and Inspection Activities (b) Describe how the proposed project is related to the intermodal transportation system either by function, proximity or impact. (One or more may apply). Atlantic Boulevard is a key perimeter road in on the south side of the Island of Key West. It is utilized extensively by visitors and residents to access a historic fort, a public swimming beach, a regional park, sporting events, and restaurant facilities. In its current configuration, it poses safety concerns relating to vehicle/pedestrian conflicts. By realigning the road and adding bicycle lanes, the road will provide safe access and multimodal transportation options to recreational, educational, historic, commercial and cultural facilities. . (c) Where is the project located (and what is the project length and termini, if appropriate)? Include location map. The project is located adjacent to the ocean on the south side of Key West (Attachment A). The project is approximately 114 mile in length. The western project limit is at the intersection of Reynolds Street. The eastern project limit is located approximately 250 feet east of the White Street intersection. (c) Summarize any special characteristics of project. Provide typical section drawings for appropriate projects. Atlantic Boulevard is a county road that bisects a county park and connects a county owned restaurant, a county owned public swimming beach, a coun"wned children's playground, a county owned historic fort and historic monument, a public fishing pier, and it lies adjacent to a city -owned recreational facility. Atlantic Boulevard is an older road that needs to be upgraded to current design standards. In its current configuration (Attachment B),it lies within five feet from the East Martello Fort which is designated on the National Register as an historic structure. The existing road has no shoulders and no facilities for bicycles or pedestrians. The parking areas at the fort, the restaurant, the park, the playground, and the pier provide no delineation between the parking areas and the road. Cars back directly into oncoming traffic, causing the potential for vehicle/vehicle conflicts, vehicle/pedestrian conflicts, and vehicle/bicycle conflicts. Realigning and upgrading the road to current standards will significantly reduce the existing conflicts and improve conditions for bicycles, pedestrians, and children within the county. Attachment C depicts the proposed realignment of the road to a more northerly location within the park. (d) Describe the project's existing right of way ownerships. This description shall identify when the right of way was acquired and how ownership is documented (i.e. plats, deeds, prescriptions, certified surveys). Atlantic Boulevard is owned and maintained by Monroe County. Ownership is documented on the Monroe County Property Appraiser's website. (a) Describe any proposed right of way acquisition, including expected matching fund source, limitations on fund use or availability, and who will acquire and retain ownership of proposed right of way. No right of way will be acquired for this project. Monroe County owns the road and the adjacent Higgs Beach Park. (0 Describe any related project work phases that are already complete or currently underway. Monroe County funded and completed the Higgs Beach Master Plan which includes the proposed realignment of Atlantic Boulevard as a critical component of the project Future elements of the master plan are dependent upon the road realignment. The master planning process lasted for approximately two years and was a publicly driven process in cooperation with the Friends of Higgs Beach (the designated 5010 for the park) and the City of Key West. Extensive public workshops were held which resulted in a total of seven iterations of the site plan to address neighborhood concerns, cultural issues, and safety issues. The final plan was applauded by the residents, the 501 c 3, the Key West City Council, and the Monroe County Board of County Commissioners as a collaborative, transparent planning process which, ultimately, incorporated the needs of all the stakeholder groups. FDOT District 6 awarded PDBE funds through a Transportation Enhancement Program grant to Monroe County for FY 2013 (FM # 4319781). The FDOT Environmental Office is currently perthnning an ETDM planning screen and a programming screen on this project FDOT will not execute a LAP agreement for the PDBE study until both screens have been completed and a Class of Action can be determined. The ETDM and PDBE process will make determinations regarding potential impacts to historic grave sites; the historic fort, and the surrounding park (g) Other specific project information that should be considered. The road is owned and maintained by Monroe County. It is located in the political jurisdiction of Key West. The Key West City Council unanimously approved a 10 year Development Order for the Higgs Beach Master Plan, including the road realignment, in March 2012. 3. Project Implementation Information: Attach documentation as exhibits to this application. (a) Describe the proposed method of performing (i.e. contract or in-house) and administering (i.e. local or state) each work phase of the project. If it is proposed that the project be administered by a governmental entity other than the Department of Transportation, the agency must be certified to administer Federal Aid projects in accordance with the departments Local Agency Program Manual (topic no. 525-010-300).

Monroe County funded the $250, 000 Master Planning Process for the Higgs Beach Master Plan which includes the realignment of Atlantic Boulevard. FDOT funded $250, 000 towards the PD&E process for the road realignment. FDOT funded $100, 000 for the Florida Keys Overseas Heritage Trail Master Plan which identifies Higgs Beach as a trailhead facility. FDOT funded $250, 000 towards the Florida Keys Scenic Highway Master Plan and the Scenic Highway Interpretive Plan. These plans include Higgs Beach as a Visitor CenterlTrailhead facility for the Florida Keys Scenic Highway. (h) Other specific implementation information that should be considered. When completed, the project will provide enhancements for the Florida Keys Overseas Heritage Trail and the Florida Keys Scenic Highway, both FDOT sponsored projects. Higgs Beach is a designated trailhead facility/rest arealvisitor center for bicyclists, pedestrians, and travelers along the Florida Keys Scenic Highway (Florida's only All American Road). The re -alignment of Atlantic Boulevard presents some unique challenges for FDOT, FHWA, and Monroe County. However, it is exactly the type of project that the Transportation Enhancement Program was designed to fund in order to improve safety and to support altemadve transportation options for Floridians. As a bonus, it will also provide the opportunity to improve conditions for cultural and historic resources in the area. A copy of the Traffic Impact Statement for Atlantic Boulevard is included as supporting documentation in Attachment E. 4.

Horn Architects 915 Eaton Street Key West, Florida 33040 Re: Higgs Beach — Traffic Impact Statement Dear Bill: June 9,2011 Traf Tech Engineering, Inc. has completed the following three tasks associated with the proposed enhancements to Clarence Higgs Beach located in the City of Key West in Monroe County, Florida. o Trip Generation o Existing Level of Service on Atlantic Boulevard o Traffic Safety Clarence Higgs Beach is a recreational beach located on the Atlantic Ocean along Atlantic Boulevard between Reynolds Street and White Street on the south area of the City of Key West. Figure 1 on the following page depicts the location of the subject recreational beach. The total area designated to Higgs Beach is approximately 15 acres. The beach is bifurcated by Atlantic Boulevard. The sandy beach areas are located on the south side of the roadway as well as a restaurant, a pedestrian walkway, beach tables, parking areas, and other beach amenities. On the north side of Atlantic Boulevard, six asphalt tennis courts, two small parking lots, a playground, a dog park, and an FAA antenna site are found. Volleyball courts are provided on the north and south sides of Atlantic Boulevard. Attachment A contains a site plan depicting the existing conditions on Higgs Beach. Trip Generation The trip generation for the existing conditions at Higgs Beach was based on information contained in the Institute of Transportation Engineer's (ITE) Trip Generation manual (8`h Edition). According to the subject ITE manual, the most appropriate "land use" category for the subject beach is ITE's Land Use 415 — Beach Park. Table 1 documents the existing trip generation for Higgs Beach. TABLE 1 Trip Generation Summary Clarence Hi s Beach — Key West Florida Vehicle Trips per Da Land Use Size Weekday Saturday Sunda Beach Park 15 acres 450 1 1,000 1,030 71 SOURCE: HE Trip Generation Manual (8"' Edition) 8400 North University Drive, Suite 309, Tamarac, Florida 33321 Tel: (954) 582-0988 Fax: (954) 582-0989 E-mail: joaquin@traftech.biz As indicated in Table 1, it is estimated that Higgs Beach is currently generating approximately 450 daily trips on regular weekdays, approximately 1,000 trips per day on Saturdays, and approximately 1,030 daily trips on Sundays. Since the proposed enhancements to Higgs Beach (refer to Attachment A) consist of improvements to the parking areas, additional pedestrian walkways, open green space, a visitors center, and improved beach amenities, the proposed enhancements to Higgs Beach are not anticipated to increase traffic flow along Atlantic Boulevard or nearby local streets. The trip generation equations for the existing Higgs Beach, given by TTE, are: BEACH PARK (Land Use 415) Weekday Daily Trips T = 29.81 (X) Where T = average weekday vehicle trip ends (vehicle trips per day) X = size in acres Saturday Daily Trips T = 66.47 (X) Where T = average Saturday vehicle trip ends (vehicle trips per day) X = size in acres Sunday Daily Trips T = 68.52 (X) Where T = average Sunday vehicle trip ends (vehicle trips per day) X = size in acres Existing Level of Service on Atlantic Boulevard According to FDOT records, Atlantic Boulevard near Higgs Beach carries approximately 5,400 vehicles per day (refer to Attachment B). Based on FDOT's Generalized Annual Average Daily capacity tables', Atlantic Boulevard has a level of service "D" capacity of approximately 10,700 vehicles per day. Therefore, Atlantic Boulevard is currently operating at approximately 50% of its vehicular carrying capacity, which is considered to be excellent. Therefore, the proposed enhancements to Higgs Beach are not anticipated to degrade the operating conditions of Atlantic Boulevard or nearby local streets. Traffic Safety As shown in the existing conditions site plan (refer to Attachment A), all parking areas (north and south sides of the roadway) can be accessed from any point along Atlantic Boulevard, which is undesirable from a safety standpoint. Moreover, the driveway that provides access to the small parking lot located west of the tennis courts has restricted 12009 FDOT Quality/Level of Service Handbook 3 sight visibility (a vehicle exiting from the subject parking lot cannot see traffic heading south on Reynolds Avenue). This condition is undesirable from a safety standpoint. The proposed enhancements to Higgs Beach eliminate the existing safety concerns described above. All parking areas are well defined and are accessed via well -spaced driveways. Driveways located north and south of the roadways either align with each other or are well spaced in order to eliminate undesired conflicts. In short, the proposed beach enhancements provide significant safety improvements to traffic traveling along Atlantic Boulevard or accessing the various parking areas located north or south of the roadway. In summary, the proposed enhancements to Higgs Beach are not anticipated to increase traffic flow along Atlantic Boulevard, are not anticipated to degrade the operating conditions of Atlantic Boulevard or nearby local streets, and will significantly improve safety to traffic traveling along Atlantic Boulevard or accessing the various parking areas located north or south of the roadway.

(One or more may apply). The Pigeon Key ramp (Bridge #904480) is a 5,887 sf, 23 span bridge that connects the Old 7 Mile Bridge to Pigeon Key in the Florida Keys. The bridge is comprised of timber, concrete, and steel components. it has a curb to curb width of approximately 20 feet. The original ramp was constructed by the State of Florida in 1936 as part of the Overseas Highway project. it was designed to provide vehicular access from the Old 7 Mile Bridge to Pigeon Key. Vehicular use continued until the New 7 Mile Bridge was constructed adjacent to the Old 7 Mile Bridge. The ramp continues to be used for bicycle and pedestrian access from the Old 7 Mile Bridge to Pigeon Key. It is considered part of the Florida Keys Overseas Heritage Trail, a statewide recreational trail which is funded by the FDOT through the Transportation Enhancement Program. (c) Where is the project located (and what is the project length and termini, if appropriate)? Include location map. The ramp is located between Mile Markers 44 and 45 adjacent to US 1 (approximately 2 % miles west of the City of Marathon, Florida (Vacs Key). It provides an altemative transportation connection from the Old 7 Mile Bridge to Pigeon Key. A location map is included as Attachment A. (d) Summarize any special characteristics of project. Provide typical section drawings for appropriate projects. The ramp continues to be used for bicycle and pedestrian access from the Old 7 Mile Bridge to Pigeon Key. It is considered part of the Florida Keys Overseas Heritage Trail, a statewide recreational trail which is funded by the FDOT through the Transportation Enhancement Program. It is also a component of the Florida Keys Scenic Highway, which has been dedicated as an All American Road in the National Scenic Byway System. Pigeon Key is a vital historical resource where remnants of Henry Flegler's Overseas Railroad and the State of Florida's Overseas Highway project are on display in a museum setting. Buildings from the tum of the century are open to the public, and visitors can witness how road and railroad workers lived, worked, and played during a pivotal transportation era. The proposed project will include design, permitting and construction activities to rehabilitate the existing access ramp to Pigeon Key for pedestrians and bicyclists. Over one million people each year visit the Old 7 Mile Bridge and walk or bicycle out to Pigeon Key. Without the ability to access the island via the ramp, the public will lose access to a key historic resource that tells the tale of transportation history in the Florida Keys, the struggles to build an Overseas Railroad, and the creativity that tumed a storm ravaged railroad into a thriving transportation corridor. (e) Describe the project's existing right of way ownerships. This description shall identify when the right of way was acquired and how ownership is documented (i.e. plats, deeds, prescriptions, certified surveys). Monroe County owns and maintains the Pigeon Key Ramp. it was deeded to the county by the State of Florida. Ownership is documented with the Monroe County Property Appraiser's office. FDOT Property Management Office in Miami also maintains records relating to property transactions between FDOT and the county. District 6: 2012 Cycle (f) Describe any proposed right of way acquisition, including expected matching fund source, limitations on fund use or availability, and who will acquire and retain ownership of proposed right of way. No right of way acquisition is required for this project. Monroe County will retain ownership of the bridge following completion of the project. (g) Describe any related project work phases that are already complete or currently underway. Monroe County recently commissioned Metric Engineering to evaluate the integrity of the ramp. The Pigeon Key Ramp Bridge Rehabilitation Report, dated, March 12, 2012 is included in this application as Attachment B. (h) Other specific project information that should be considered. The most recent bridge inspection report, dated 9120111, revealed a sufficiency rating of 2.0 and a health index of 60.3. Due to the deterioration of the existing timber rail and deck system, the ramp is deemed unsafe. 3. Project Implementation Information: Attach documentation as exhibits to this application. (a) Describe the proposed method of performing (i.e. contract or in-house) and administering (i.e. local or state) each work phase of the project. If it is proposed that the project be administered by a governmental entity other than the Department of Transportation, the agency must be certified to administer Federal Aid projects in accordance with the department's Local Agency Program Manual (topic no. 525-010-300). Monroe County will manage the project and will utilize the Competitive Consultant Negotiation Act to hire a professional engineer for the design. The county will obtain all permits and approvals from FDOT prior to bidding the project. The county will advertise for an FDOT approved contractor following approval by FDOT of all bid documents. (b) Provide a detailed project schedule, including process time for permitting, public process/hearings/committee and board meetings, or other activities affecting the project schedule.

Ker.Ramp Bridge 1.1 Introduction This Bridge Development Report (BDR) addresses the structural rehabilitation of the Pigeon Key Ramp Bridge for pedestrian and light vehicular (Golf Cart) traffic access to Pigeon Key from the Old Seven Mile Bridge in the Florida Keys. This report will identify the necessary repairs and repair costs associated with upgrading the existing bridge condition to a satisfactory level of service. Constructibility and feasibility are the steering factors considered in determining the proposed corrective measures. Preliminary calculations, quantities and cost estimate are also included as back up. 1.2 Bridge Project Description The Pigeon Key Ramp Bridge (Bridge No. 904480) is a 5,887 square foot, 23 span bridge constructed in 1938. Spans 2 through 23 are composed of timber superstructure and substructure components while span 1 is composed of concrete and steel components. The bridge has a curb - to -curb width is approximately 20ft and provides the only access to Pigeon Key by land. The bridge is typically utilized by both pedestrian and lightweight vehicular traffic. As per the latest routine bridge inspection report dated 9/20/2011, the bridge has a sufficiency rating of 60.3 and health index of 2.0. For bridge layout, refer to Plan and Elevation drawing in Appendix A. Due to the deterioration of existing timber rail and deck system, the bridge is deemed unsafe. In order to keep the bridge in service, temporary wood decking and barriers have been constructed to keep traffic within the center of the bridge and thereby eliminating tripping hazards and use of the deficient timber rail system. This report studies the feasibility of rehabilitating the existing bridge to allow for safe pedestrian and light weight vehicular access. 1.3 Preliminary Cost Estimate Preliminary estimates for construction costs associated with the rehabilitation are estimated to be a little over $500,000 or $85/SF. An appropriate method for preparing estimates of probable 1 rhige Development Reporifir ^ geon Kcl, Ramp Brhhe construction cost is essential to the economic analysis performed. Preliminary quantities were prepared for the proposed repairs and unit prices applied to determine estimated probable construction costs. The unit prices used in this report are based on Historical Data collected by the Florida Department of Transportation. For breakdown of estimated construction costs, see preliminary construction cost tables in Appendix B. 2.1 Location of Bridge The bridge is in Pigeon Key, Florida, mile marker no. 44.5. 2.2 Review of Existing Bridge Inspection Report and Load Rating Based on our initial bridge site investigation, review of latest bridge inspection report and Load Capacity Evaluation, the bridge requires rehabilitation in order to remain in service. For description of repairs and preliminary load evaluation, refer to Section 4 and Appendix C respectively. 23 Existing Horizontal and Vertical Geometry As per our field survey, Pigeon Key Bridge is 22ft wide, 262ft long, is horizontally aligned along a radial curve (R = 516' +-) with a vertical aligned along an average 8.5% slope. The existing bridge falls within the County right of way. 2.4 Existing Bridge Typical Section The bridge typical cross section consists of two unmarked ten -foot wide traffic lanes. There are no shoulders and the timber rail system is substandard. The existing bridge width measures 22ft from coping to coping. Refer to the existing bridge typical section in the Appendix A. 2.5 Existing Typical Section Under Bridge The bridge ramps down over the west side of Pigeon Key with a vertical clearance of 18ft at the first span. P Bridge DevelopmentReport.forBridge 2.6 Span Arrangement The existing bridge consists of the following two superstructure types: Span 1: Concrete deck/steel beam superstructure supported by steel frame piers founded on concrete footers. Spans 2 thru 23: Timber deck/timber beam superstructure supported by timber piers founded on concrete footers. 2.7 Existing Utilities There is no evidence of utilities attached to and/or adjacent to the existing bridge structure. 3.1 Design Specifications FDOT Standard Specifications for Road and Bridge Construction (2010) AASHTO LRFD Design Specifications, 5d' Edition (2010) FDOT Structures Manuel (January 2012) FDOT Plans Preparation Manual (PPM) 3.2 Aesthetics For historic preservation, the proposed repairs shall closely match the aesthetics of the existing structure. 3.4 Materials The following material properties shall be utilized: 1.

Design Method: Load and Resistance Factor Design is used in proportioning all elements of the superstructure and substructure. 4. Bridge Deck Drainage Recommendation Drainage swales located outside the bridge footprint are to collect drainage run off from the bridge. 3.6 Environmental Classification Location: Coastal Superstructure: Extremely Aggressive Substructure: Extremely Aggressive "I Bridge Development Reporifir Pigeon K�r Ramp Bridge Concrete Deck: The concrete deck in span 1 is in good condition with four spalled areas along the deck top that should be repaired to maintain the deck in good working condition. The total volume of concrete repair for this item is estimated to be approximately 3 cubic feet. The deck underside appears to be in good condition with no apparent deficiencies. Timber Deck: The deck within spans 2 thru 23 is composed of 8" square timber planks placed side -by -side and anchored to the I square timber deck support beams with lag bolts and nails. There are a total of approximately 300 timber deck planks. All of the planks have varying levels of deficiencies in the form of wood decay, splitting and loose anchorages. Approximately 75% of the planks have deficient anchorages and approximately 10% have advanced deterioration creating an unsafe walking surface for pedestrians. Due to the level of degradation, it would prudent to replace the entire deck with new timber or plastic lumber planks. Expansion Joints: The two expansion joints at the start and end of span 1 are deficient and should be replaced in order to protect the substructure components from corrosive elements emanating from above. Metal Railing: The metal railroad tie railing system within span 1 is heavily corroded with significant section loss. Areas with excessive section loss should be strengthened and the entire system should be cleaned and painted. Timber Bridge Railing: Approximately 10% of the timber rail system is in poor condition with extensive deterioration and requires replacement to restore the system to an acceptable level of strength and serviceability. However, since pedestrians primarily utilize the ramp bridge, we recommend that the entire rail system be modified to comply with pedestrian rail requirements regarding the Pi Bridge Development ReportforKey Ramp Bridge maximum annular space between rails and minimum rail height of 42 inches. Per these requirements the entire rail system should be replaced accordingly. Steel Girders: The steel deck beams within span 1 are heavily corroded with minor section. These beams should be sandblasted clean and painted accordingly. Timber Girders: There are a total of 154 timber girders. Approximately 40% of the girders have advanced deterioration and require replacement. Although the remaining 60% have signs of minor decay, we find it is feasible to preserve them with a protective coating so that they may remain in service. Steel Substructure: The steel framed beam/column pier nos. 1 & 2 are moderately corroded with areas significant section loss. In addition, there are signs of cracking and contusion bleed -out along the concrete jackets at the base of the steel columns. To facilitate the service life of the structure, the steel should be painted and concrete deficiencies at the base of the columns should be repaired accordingly. As part of the painting task, members with significant section loss will need to be replaced and/or strengthened as required by analysis. Timber Substructure: The post and cap substructure is composed of 11"x12" timber cap supported on 10"x10" timber piles and braced in the transverse and longitudinal direction with 3"x8" timber cross braces. There areas of dry rot with section at random locations along the piles, cap and bracing components. Approximately 50% of the pier caps and 30% of the posts will require structural strengthening with either carbon fiber or structural steel. Concrete Substructure: The concrete footers appear to be in good condition with no apparent deficiencies that affects the serviceability and/or load capacity of the structure. Approximately 40% of the concrete footers 2 are covered in vegetation and not visible for inspection. However, of the remaining 60% that are visible, four will require minor concrete repair work. The proposed rehabilitation repairs to the Pigeon Key Ramp Bridge includes the removal and replacement of the bridge beams and deck, bridge painting, cleaning and minor pile repairs. The proposed work will be conducted within the same bridge footprint — no bridge widening is proposed. Pigeon Key is a significant historic district for its association with the Florida East Coast Railway and the Overseas Highway. It is considered a workers camp and a highway travel stop from 1909 through the 1950s and it is potentially eligible for National Register of Historic Places. Potential environmental impacts from the proposed bridge repair include impacts to benthic resources including seagrass and corals, and impacts to wildlife using the waters adjacent to the bridge. The Pigeon Key Ramp Bridge is a 244 feet long pedestrian timber ramp. It is located off the 7 Mile Bridge on the west side of Pigeon Key Island. The bridge support pilings are located approximately one foot below the mean high tide. In addition to the bridge deck replacement, repairs to these pilings will be conducted. MEI conducted a bridge inspection on January 25th, 2012. No mangroves were observed near the bridge piles or underneath the bridge. The review of GIS databases for environmental resources indicates that the project is located within consultation areas for two listed species - the American crocodile and piping plover. The GIS analysis also shows that seagrasses and corals occur within the waters beneath the bridge and around Pigeon Key. Even though no shading effects are anticipated as a result of the proposed rehabilitation activities (the bridge will maintain the same configuration), impacts to corals or seagrass beds may occur through damages from construction activities including direct impacts from barges and from construction debris falling into the water. 7 DevelopmentBridge r Several protected species including the West Indian Manatee, marine turtles and smalltooth sawfish may occur within the project area, as the waters beneath the bridge serves as habitat for these species. Avoidance of impacts to listed species occurring within the project area will require conservation provisions for construction activities. These provisions will be mandated by the projecVs environmental permits, and must be included in the project design plans and implemented during construction. The waters beneath the bridge are also considered a National Marine Sanctuary and an Outstanding Florida Water. As such, no turbidity (i.e. no debris of any kind) will be allowed to enter the water from the proposed project. Specialized construction practices may be required to minimize debris drop, capture any debris that falls, and inspect the site after construction to confirm that no construction debris remains in the water. The work associated with the proposed activities is regulated by the federal government though Section 404 of the Clean Water Act and Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act, as well as by the State of Florida through the Florida Environmental Resources Permitting (ERP) Program authorized under Chapter 373, Part IV, F.S. Federal Permitting Requirements The US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) issued Nationwide Permit 14 for activities required for the construction, expansion, modification or improvement of linear transportation projects. Use of this permit requires preconstruction notification to the USACE due to the project's location in tidal waters. State Permitting Requirements Per 40E-400.443(1)(a) of the F.A.C., a general permit was granted to the Florida Department of Transportation, Counties, Municipalities, the Florida Turnpike Enterprise (Section 338.2215, F.S.), and the various Transportation Authorities defined in Chapters 343, 348 and 349, F.S., to conduct the replacement, modification or maintenance of bridges and approaches where the combined total of dredging and filling, both temporary and permanent, in wetlands and other surface waters does not exceed 0.5 acre. The proposed project will require the application of this general permit for the repair and modification of the Pigeon Key Bridge and its approaches. 8 Bridge Devvlopniem Reporifor Pigeon Ker Ramp ; However, the construction activities will not involve dredging or filling in wetlands or o her surface waters. Environmental Permitting Action Items Required: • Environmental site survey, including delineating the extents of mangrove canopies (if present) and benthic (seagrass/coral) habitats • Coordination with design engineers to include conservation construction protocols for preventing turbdity/debris in the waters below and for wildlife protection and for avoidance of unauthorized mangrove impacts (if any) • Obtaining federal and state permits for bridge construction activities • Performing a post -construction benthic survey (if required by project permits) Our analysis of the Pigeon Key Ramp Bridge demonstrates that it is capable of supporting pedestrian loading, however; the existing deficiencies identified along the timber, steel and concrete components have developed to the point where rehabilitation is imperative in order to preserve its use over the next ten to twenty years. Recent remediation efforts that included the implementation of non-skid plywood walking surface and barricades to keep pedestrians away from the deficient barriers has provided a sufficient level of safety to pedestrians in the short term. However, due to the highly aggressive environment coupled with the advanced degree degradation; we estimate a remaining service life of two to three years if remediation efforts are not taken. 0 Bridge Development Reponjoi-• Pigeon KLg Ransp Brhlqe QyeN Pu �PIIB c 39018N8 371W N3A35 070 WI ME Bridge Development Report for Pigeon Key Ramp Britlqe Design Computations Metric Engineering, Inc.

Project Description: Page 2 of 3 Use additional sheets as necessary to respond to the following: (a) What type of work is being proposed? (Check all that apply) Planning Activities Project Development and Environmental Studies Engineering and Final Plans Preparation Work Right of Way Acquisition x Construction x Construction Engineering and Inspection Activities (b) Describe how the proposed project is related to the intermodal transportation system either by function, proximity or impact. (One or more may apply). The project is located on US 1 in Monroe County. US 1 is a federal highway and is a critical component of the intermodal transportation system in the Florida Keys. It serves as the main transportation artery and the only hurricane evacuation route in the Keys. The Adams Cut Pedestrian Bridge will be located in along the Bayside Shared Use Path which is situated in the US 1 right of way in Key Largo Florida. The pedestrian bridge will provide an a/temative means for pedestrians and bicyclists to cross over a man-made canal, named Marvin D Adams Waterway, without having to utilize the existing vehicular bridge. (b) Where is the project located (and what is the project length and termini, if appropriate)? Include location map. The project is located on the bayside of US 1 at MM 103 in Key Largo Florida. It will provide a connection for the Bayside Shared Use Path across the Marvin D. Adams Waterway. A location map is included as Attachment A. The bridge will be approximately 130 feet long and 14 feet wide. (c) Summarize any special characteristics of project. Provide typical section drawings for appropriate projects. US 1 functions as an interstate highway and a "Main Street" In its current configuration, it is does not provide sufficient transportation alternatives for pedestrians and bicyclists. The Florida Keys is a significant tourist destination where US and international visitors come each year. US 1 is lined with restaurants, shopping, hotels, vacation rentals, state parks, tourist destinations, schools, employment centers, and grocery stores. The highway is a designated National Scenic Byway and a Florida Scenic Highway. The Florida Keys Overseas Heritage Trail is a designated statewide trail that traverses the highway from MM 0 tp MM 106 and attracts a large ecotoudsm base. Key Largo has unfortunately experienced a large number of pedestrian fatalities as a result of vehicle/pedestdan conflicts. Monroe County is supplementing the Overseas Heritage Trail (which traverses the Oceanside of Key Largo) with the county funded Bayside Shared Use Path to increase safety. By adding the pedestrian bridge across Adams Cut, it will reduce the number of vehicle/pedestrian conflict points. (d) Describe the project's existing right of way ownerships. This description shall identify when the right of way was acquired and how ownership is documented (i.e. plats, deeds, prescriptions, certified surveys). US 1 is owned and managed by the FDOT. A portion of the right of way on the Oceanside of US 1 is managed by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection through a Memorandum of Agreement for the Overseas Heritage Trail. Monroe County is building the shared use path on the bayside of US by permit from the FDOT. The county will manage the shared use path and the pedestrian bridge. (e) Describe any proposed right of way acquisition, including expected matching fund source, limitations on fund use or availability, and who will acquire and retain ownership of proposed right of way. No right of way acquisition is required for this project. Monroe County will build and manage the pedestrian bridge and the adjacent trail via permit from the FDOT. District 6: 2012 Cycle (g) Describe any related project work phases that are already complete or currently underway. Monroe County is currently funding the design and construction of the Bayside Shared Use Path and the design of the Adams Cut Pedestrian Bridge. The county's investment in both design projects is approximately $350, 000. The county's investment in the construction of the shared use path is approximately $1.8 million. FDOT is currently funding the design and construction of the Overseas Heritage Trail on the Oceanside of US 1 in Key Largo as part of the upcoming road resurfacing projects. (h) Other speck project information that should be considered. The project is proposed to be constructed as a prestressed, concrete beam, single span bridge. This method is proposed over a prefabricated pedestrian bridge due to the aggressive weather conditions in the Florida Keys. in order to maximize the investment of federal transportation dollars, the county proposes to construct a facility that can maintain its integrity and minimize the maintenance requirements over the life of the bridge. The bridge will be 14 feet wide and approximately 130 feet long. 3. Project Implementation Information: Attach documentation as exhibits to this application. (a) Describe the proposed method of performing (i.e. contract or in-house) and administering (i.e. local or state) each work phase of the project.
