BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY
Meeting Date: 9- 6-00
Division: Public Works
Bulk Item: Yes X No
Department: Engineering
AGENDA ITEM WORDING: Approval of a request from the Florida Department of Transportation for
a waiver of Card Sound Road tolls for a 16 day period.
ITEM BACKGROUND: FDOT has entered into a contract with Quinn Construction to repair the Jewfish
Creek bridge. During portions of the work, traffic will have to be rerouted to Card Sound Road. Tolls are
lifted when this occurs and reimbursement from FDOT in the amount of $6,233/day is sought. FDOT has
budgeted $87,262 for 14 days of detour but the work is now projected to require 30 days of detour. The 16
day fee waiver amounts to $99,728 which represents about 8.5% of last year's Card Sound revenue of
$1,162,171. However, the impact on the budget would not be that significant since the average monthly
Card Sound revenue of$97,000 ($1,162, I 71/12) will almost be obtained from FDOT's $87,262.

Subject: CARD SOUND TOLLS
Dear Mr Pierce:
The Department is requesting assistance from Monroe County in the fonn of relief of daily tolls at Card Sound Road Bridge.
As you may be awan: the Department hag entered into a contract with Quinn Construction to repair Jewfish Creek Bridge.
This contract has provisions to detour traffic onto Card Sound Road during certain phases of work. There is a pay item to
reimburse the contractor for toll payment S6,233.00 per day for a total of $87,262.00 during this project.
It has been de1ennined the work will require a significant increase in days of detouring traffic. This increase is due to the
level of containment required, for removal of existing lead based paint on the bridBe which mllsl be eliminated while still
mainlaininB the watelWay traffic.
,
Our revised estimate of detour days is 30 in lieu of 14. I am requesting the County yield Ihe additional 16 days of tolls so
the Department can proceed as soon as pos,ible on this critical work prior to the winter season traffic. We plan on beeinning
work late in September and completing within 50 days.
Should additional infonnation be required please call me at (305) 289-6108.

Kevin Baker.
Area Engineer
