Subject: Resolution Authorizing a Roadway Transfer Agreement and a Transfer of Jurisdiction of Florida
Department of Transportation Right-of-Way to Miami-Dade County for that Portion of SW 177
Avenue (Krome Avenue) from SW 328 Street to State Road 5 (US-1) in Miami-Dade County, Florida

STAFF RECOMMENDATION
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the Board of County Commissioners (Board) approve the attached resolution authorizing the transfer of Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) road right-of-way to Miami-Dade County (County), authorizing the County Mayor, or County Mayor�s designee, to take all actions necessary to effectuate same.

SCOPE
The County-maintained road is located within District 9, which is represented by Commissioner Dennis C. Moss.

FISCAL IMPACT
The total fiscal impact as a result of this conveyance being accepted is approximately $2,756.00 annually for maintenance costs associated with the subject rights-of-way being included in the Department of Transportation and Public Works (DTPW) inventory. These costs will be funded through DTPW�s General Fund allocation.

TRACK RECORD/MONITOR
DTPW is the entity overseeing this project and the person responsible for monitoring this transfer is Leandro O�a, Chief, Roadway Engineering and Right-of-Way Division

BACKGROUND
FDOT has been working since December 2014 on a project to build a �Truck By-Pass� along SW 312 Street (Campbell Drive) between SW 177 Avenue (Krome Avenue) and SR 5 (US-1). This project will improve mobility and alleviate traffic congestion. This will be accomplished by providing additional travel options and transit services will be enhanced to accommodate future growth and development in the area at no cost to the County. As a result of the above project, FDOT no longer needs a segment of Krome Avenue located between Campbell Drive and US-1, and has requested that this segment of Krome Avenue be accepted by the County as a County Road. All responsibilities for the road transfer are delineated in the attached �Roadway Transfer Agreement� attached to the resolution as Exhibit �A�.
