II.ITEM SUMMARY
 Approves a Supplemental Task Authorization (STA) to the contract with David Douglas Associates, Inc. for Miscellaneous Professional Services, providing for the design of a traffic signal and intersection improvements at the intersection of Estero Boulevard and Crescent Street, in the negotiated amount of $104,695.00. A budget transfer is needed to create a new project for this signal and provide funding for right-of-way closing costs from a parcel donated by Town of Fort Myers Beach. This signal will ultimately be interconnected with a Town of Fort Myers Beach signal at Estero Boulevard/Old San Carlos Boulevard and a Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) signal at San Carlos Boulevard/Fifth Street to coordinate traffic flow and manage congestion.  These signals working together will also provide safe crossing locations for the large volumes of bicycles and pedestrians in this corridor. Funding for construction is budgeted with Federal funds. The County will need to execute a grant agreement to receive the construction funds in State FY 2020/21.  Total project costs are estimated to be $1,000,000 with $762,000 coming from FDOT for construction. These costs include design, right-of-way transfer, construction engineering, inspection, and construction. Construction is estimated to begin by the end of 2020.
