Subject: Approval of the Ocoee Crown Point PUD Project Change Order NO.6
Background Summary:
The phase 1 infrastructure for the Ocoee Crown Point PUD project included mast armed "School Zone" signage
for the Ocoee High School on Ocoee Crown Point Parkway. This signage was to be in addition to the signage and
striping that is already present on Ocoee Crown Point Parkway. The existing warnings include the pole mounted
flashing lights and the appropriate striping in the roadway and signage along the road. All of this signage and
striping is in accordance with the FDOT and Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) standards. VHB,
Inc. over interpreted the standards and included the mast armed "School Zone" signage in the design of the
project. FDOT Secretary Denver Stutler, Jr., P.E., issued a policy memorandum on May 3, 2006 titled
"Establishing School Zones and School Crossings" for FDOT controlled roads. The policy statement explicitly
provides that school speed zones may be established only for "public and private elementary, middle schools (Jr.
High), or federally funded Headstart facilities providing a full-time education program" (p. 2, Section 1.1). It is
similarly explicit in stating that high schools are not eligible for school speed zones, but are more appropriate for
alternative measures, such as pedestrian crossing signs or warning signs for a driveway entrance (p. 2, Section
1.2). Even with these reduced traffic control measures, the policy statement cautions against their indiscriminant
use: "Traffic control devices are not normally needed at a high school, but when special circumstances occur, they
should be addressed on a case-by-case basis, only used when needed, and justified by an engineering study".
This policy memorandum has been applied as a regional practice standard for other roadways and can be viewed
as the policy guidance established under Section 316.1895, F.S.
The deletion of the mast armed "School Zone" signage will result in decrease of $81,479.00 to the project cost.
The final cost for the Phase 1 and 1 b infrastructure Projects will $3,836,443.50. This change order will final the
Ocoee Crown point PUD Phase 1 Infrastructure Project.
Issue:
Should the Mayor and City Commissioners approve the Ocoee Crown Point PUD project change order no. 6.
Recommendations

"School Zone" signage and authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute Change Order no. 6 with Master Site
