FPN 446254-1-98-01. (Project 33937, Fund 1841)
OBJECTIVE: To purchase 10 (ten) vehicle count stations that will be installed along Collier County roadways.
CONSIDERATIONS: In 2019, Collier County Traffic Operations submitted an application to the Collier Metropolitan
Planning Organization (MPO) to replace vehicle count stations that have been in use for over twelve years and have
reached end-of-life. The project was included on the 2019 Congestion Management Project Priority list approved by the
MPO Board at the June 14, 2019, meeting. The project first appeared in the FDOT Work Program in 2021.
The purpose of these count stations is to provide essential traffic data to support transportation management planning,
signal timing optimization and traffic safety improvements. FDOT is empowered by legislative authority to contract
with other governmental (local) agencies to develop, design, and construct transportation facilities and to reimburse
these governmental agencies for services provided to the traveling public. The FDOT LAP, administered at the FDOT
district level, is the mechanism used to complete a prioritized project from FDOT’s Five-Year Work Program. Collier
County is LAP certified and the Transportation Management Services Department staff will be responsible for the
administration of the project. In-house staff will be responsible for federal and FDOT grant compliance.
This item is consistent with the Collier County Strategic Plan objective to design and maintain an effective
transportation system to reduce traffic congestion and improve the mobility of our residents and visitors.
FISCAL IMPACT: A budget amendment is required to recognize grant revenue in the amount of $311,562.00 in
Transportation Grant Fund 1841, Project 33937; the funding source is the Federal Highway Authority (FHWA),
whereby these grant dollars are passed through the FDOT via the LAP Agreement. A grant match is not required.
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: These improvements are consistent with the Growth Management Plan
Transportation Element, specifically Section C – Perspectives, 4. Funding of Roadway Improvements, Section D –
Implementation Strategy, Objective 1: Policy 1.1, 1.2, 1.3; Objective 2 – Policy 2.1, 2.2; Objective 8 – Policy 8.1.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item is approved as to form and legality and requires majority vote for approval. -
