Subject: State Traffic Signal Maintenance and Compensation Agreement Amendment, Phase I -B.
Background Summary:
The FDOT continues working with local maintaining agencies to update the State's Traffic Signal
Maintenance and Compensation Agreement. The Commission approved the Phase I -A Agreement
Update at the July 15, 2014 meeting. The latest interim update from the FDOT further clarifies and
reduces the City's liability for maintaining traffic signal systems on State roads. The updated agreement
is Phase I -B of the process and will be in effect for the 2014/15 fiscal year. Public Works will continue to
work with the FDOT on the Phase II update to be brought back for approval in 2015. The City's current
contracted proactive maintenance program exceeds the minimum State proposed standards and
ensures proper operation of all signals throughout Ocoee.
Public Works recommends approving the new State Phase 1 -13 Traffic Signal Maintenance and
Compensation Agreement with the FDOT as it clarifies and further reduces City liability. The City
Attorney has determined the Commission need only approve the one -page Phase 1 -13 Amendment as the
Phase I -A Agreement was previously executed.
Issue:
Request the City Commission to approve the State Phase 1 -13 Traffic Signal Maintenance and
Compensation Agreement Amendment with the FDOT.
Recommendations
Recommend the City Commission approve the new work order for the State Phase 1 -13 Traffic Signal
Maintenance and Compensation Agreement Amendment, AM -604, with the FDOT, and authorize the
Mayor and City Clerk to execute the Agreement.

Purpose:
Amend the Phase 1A TRAFFIC SIGNAL MAINTENANCE AND COMPENSATION AGREEMENT previously
entered into by both parties. Amendment #1 deletes the language contained in Paragraph 6 of the Phase 1 A
Agreement for the period beginning with the Department's fiscal year 2014 -2015. The Phase 1A Agreement
included language on the preventative and periodic maintenance of mast arms. Paragraph 5 of the new
Agreement provides language on the basic maintenance required for effective functioning of the traffic signals
on the State Highway System. Excepting the changes shown below, all other provisions of Phase 1A remain.
The wording "traffic signal structures (including signal mast arm structure or strain pole)"
was struck from Paragraph 1.
Paragraph 5 shall be removed and replaced in its entirety by the text provided below:
5. The Maintaining Agency shall be responsible for basic maintenance functions such as replacing missing cap covers or
equivalent; cleaning; replacement of missing or deficient access hole cover plates; all wiring issues, including improper grounding;
graffiti removal; and all signal related issues (lighting, signs and connections).
Paragraph 6 shall be removed in its entirety without any replacement text.
The remaining paragraphs are renumbered sequentially.
The renumbered Paragraph 18 shall be removed in its entirety and replaced with the text
provided below:
18. The Department shall monitor the performance of the Maintaining Agency in the fulfillment of the agreement. The Maintaining
Agency shall submit an annual Report on April 1 of each year detailing the following:
a. Detection device malfunctions. Repairs shall be made within sixty (60) days of discovery and such events shall be logged into
the annual report. If repairs cannot be performed within 60 days, the agency shall document the reasons why. Discovery of such events
shall be logged into the annual report.
b. Preventative maintenance inspections. All traffic signals shall receive at least one (1) minor preventative maintenance
inspection, preferably two inspections, within a twelve (12) month period. Preventative maintenance inspection shall include verification
that all detection is working, the signal is cycling properly, the ventilation system is functioning and filters are clean. The inspection
report should note the location, date of inspection and any items noted.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have caused these presents to be executed, the day and year first above written.

EXHIBIT B
TRAFFIC SIGNAL MAINTENANCE AND COMPENSATION AGREEMENT
1.0 PURPOSE
This exhibit defines the method and limits of compensation to be made to the Maintaining Agency for the services
described in this Agreement and in Exhibit A and Method by which payments will be made.
2.0 COMPENSATION
For the satisfactory completion of all services detailed in this Agreement and Exhibit A of this Agreement, the
Department will pay the Maintaining Agency the Total Lump Sum in Exhibit A. The Maintaining Agency will
receive one lump sum payment at the end of each fiscal year for satisfactory completion of service.
Total Lump Sum Amount for each fiscal year is calculated by adding all of the individual intersection amounts. The
individual intersection amounts are calculated by taking the FY Unit Rate times the percent of State Road Approaches to
Total Approaches. Intersection Control Beacons are paid at 25% of the Unit Rate for full traffic signal.
Pedestrian Flashing Beacon: includes school zone beacons, pedestrian crossing beacons and rectangular rapid flashing
beacons (RRFB). School zones, crosswalks and warning sign locations shall be paid at a unit rate regardless of the
number of individual beacons.
Example 1: For a traffic signal intersection with 4 approaches with 2 approaches (50 %) being state
roads, the intersection amount for FY 10 -11 will be: $2,622 x (2/4) = $1,311
Example 2: For an intersection control beacon with 3 approaches, with 2 approaches being state roads,
the intersection amount for FY 11 -12 will be $675 x (2/3) = $450
Example 3: For a location with a school zone flashing beacon and two speed activated warning displays, the
intersection amount for FY 14 -15 will be {($295 *1) + ($148 *2)} = $591

PURPOSE
This exhibit defines the method and limits of compensation to be made to the Maintaining Agency for the services
described in this Agreement and in Exhibit A and Method by which payments will be made.
COMPENSATION
For the satisfactory completion of all services detailed in this Agreement and Exhibit A of this Agreement, the
Department will pay the Maintaining Agency the Total Lump Sum in Exhibit A. The Maintaining Agency will
receive one lump sum payment at the end of each fiscal year for satisfactory completion of service.
Total Lump Sum Amount for each fiscal year is calculated by adding all of the individual intersection amounts. The
individual intersection amounts are calculated by taking the FY Unit Rate times the percent of State Road Approaches to
Total Approaches. Intersection Control Beacons are paid at 25% of the Unit Rate for full traffic signal.
Pedestrian Flashing Beacon: includes school zone beacons, pedestrian crossing beacons and rectangular rapid flashing
beacons (RRFB). School zones, crosswalks and warning sign locations shall be paid at a unit rate regardless of the
number of individual beacons.
Example 1: For a traffic signal intersection with 4 approaches with 2 approaches (50 %) being state
roads, the intersection amount for FY 10 -11 will be: $2,622 x (2/4) = $1,311
Example 2: For an intersection control beacon with 3 approaches, with 2 approaches being state roads,
the intersection amount for FY 11 -12 will be $675 x (2/3) = $450
Example 3: For a location with a school zone flashing beacon and two speed activated warning displays, the
intersection amount for FY 14 -15 will be {($295`1) + ($148"'2)) = $591
