ID# 2025-4906
Executive Summary
Recommendation to approve and authorize the Chair to execute a Local Agency Program ("LAP") Grant Agreement with
the Florida Department of Transportation ("FDOT") for the “Naples Manor Sidewalks at Various Locations” LAP
project, reimbursing the County up to $2,341,880.00 for the construction of five-foot-wide sidewalks in Naples Manor on
Sholtz St. from Floridan Ave. to Hardee St., Holland St from Floridan Ave. to Carolina Ave., and Caldwell St. from
Floridan Ave to Warren St.; execute a Resolution memorializing the Board’s action; and authorize the necessary Budget
Amendments (Project 33953, Fund 1841), FPN 448129-1-58-01.
OBJECTIVE: To construct five-foot-wide sidewalks in Naples Manor on Sholtz St. from Floridan Ave. to Hardee St.,
Holland St from Floridan Ave. to Carolina Ave., and Caldwell St. from Floridan Ave to Warren St., that will enhance
pedestrian safety with funding assistance from the FDOT LAP Program.
CONSIDERATIONS: The Naples Manor Sidewalks project was prioritized at the June 12, 2020, Collier Metropolitan
Planning Organization ("MPO") board meeting, confirming its inclusion in MPO-tracked pedestrian improvements. The
project was included in the Work Program for design in 2023.
The design phase is nearing completion for this project, and it moves into the bid phase next. Once the bid phase
concludes and a contractor is selected, the project will move into the construction phase. FDOT programmed
$2,341,880.00 in construction funding in its Work Program, with construction scheduled for FY 2026.
Under state legislative authority, FDOT may contract with local government agencies to develop, design, acquire right-
of-way, and construct transportation facilities, and to reimburse those agencies for work performed on behalf of the
traveling public. The FDOT Local Agency Program, administered at the district level, serves as the mechanism for
implementing prioritized projects from FDOT’s Five-Year Work Program.
Collier County is LAP-certified, and the Transportation Management Services staff will oversee administration of the
project’s construction phase.
This item is consistent with the Collier County Strategic Plan’s objective of designing and maintaining 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 for $2,341,880.00 in Transportation
Grant Fund 1841, Project 33953 for construction. The funding source is Federal Highway Administration, whereby
these grant dollars are passed through FDOT via the LAP agreement. This grant does not require a match.
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: These improvements are consistent with the Growth Management Plan
Transportation Element, specifically Section B – Intermodal & Multi-modal Transportation, (1) Non-Motorized Travel,
Objective 4, Policy 4.2, Policy 4.4, Policy 4.5, Policy 4.6, and Policy 4.8.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item has been reviewed by the County Attorney, is approved as to form and
legality and requires a majority vote for approval. -JAK

Ave to Warren St.; execute a Resolution memorializing the Board’s action; and authorize the necessary Budget
