Agenda 11/10/2025 Item #16B 3 (Execute a CIGP State-Funded Grant Agreement with the FDOT for the design, engineering, and permitting of the "Immokalee Road Corridor Improvements")11/10/2025 Item # 16.B.3 ID# 2025-3618 Executive Summary Recommendation to approve and execute a County Incentive Grant Program (CIGP) State-Funded Grant Agreement with the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) (FPN 452247-1-34-01) reimbursing the County up to $750,000 for the design, engineering, and permitting of the "Immokalee Road Corridor Improvements" project to make roadway and intersection improvements along the 2-mile section of Immokalee Road from Livingston Road to Logan Boulevard and authorize the necessary Budget Amendment. (Project 33958, Funds 1841 and 1842) OBJECTIVE: To complete the design, engineering, and permitting of the "Immokalee Road Corridor Improvements" project (the "Project") with funding assistance from the FDOT CIGP Agreement. CONSIDERATIONS: In 2021, Collier County approved the Immokalee Road Corridor Congestion Study which analyzed intersections along Immokalee Road from Livingston Road to Logan Boulevard. The study analyzed both conventional and innovative intersection alternatives along Immokalee Road to accommodate future roadway volumes. The Board authorized the application for FDOT funding on June 28, 2022, Item 16.A.15. FDOT has awarded up to $750,000 in matching funds for the design of the Project. The Project encompasses a 2-mile section of Immokalee Road from the intersection with Livingston Road, extending east to the intersection of Logan Boulevard. Within this section of Immokalee Road there are intersections with a series of community and business access points and an intersection with I-75. The Project is intended to relieve congestion and improve operations along this Immokalee Road corridor. An improved roadway network is not only needed for commuting purposes, but also critical to improve access for emergency responders including fire departments, medical services, and law enforcement. The additional capacity provided by the improvements will provide for a more efficient connection between many community resources including existing neighborhoods, a library, churches, a nearby hospital, and commercial businesses. The Project is consistent with the Collier Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) 2045 Long Range Transportation Plan (LRTP) Cost Feasible Plan (reference p6-17, Table 6-8 SU Box Funds) and is funded for Construction in FY28 in the MPO’s FY2026-2030 Transportation Improvement Program using a combination of Transportational Regional Incentive Program (TRIP), CIGP and Local Funds. The County's FY22-FY26 5-Year Work Program (AUIR) also lists this Project. 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 $750,000 within the Transportation Grant Fund (1841), Project 33958. The funding source is FDOT via the CIGP agreement. This grant requires a fifty percent (50%) local match amount of $750,000. A Budget Amendment is needed to transfer funds from Road Impact Fee – District 4 Fund (3093), Project 60276, to Transportation Match Fund (1842), Project 33958. GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: This recommendation is consistent with the Long-Range Transportation Plan and Objective 1 of the Transportation Element of the Collier County Growth Management Plan to maintain the major roadway system at an acceptable Level of Service. LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item is approved as to form and legality and requires a majority vote of the Board for approval. – CLD RECOMMENDATION(S): To approve and execute a County Incentive Grant Program (CIGP) State-Funded Grant Agreement with the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) (FPN 452247-1-34-01) reimbursing the County up to $750,000 for the design, engineering, and permitting of the "Immokalee Road Corridor Improvements" project to make roadway and intersection improvements along the 2-mile section of Immokalee Road from Livingston Road to Logan Page 3543 of 6525 11/10/2025 Item # 16.B.3 ID# 2025-3618 Boulevard and authorize the necessary Budget Amendment.
