S. Section 88600, 16 Street, SLD MP 1.929, at 16 Avenue 6. Section 88600, 16 Street, SLD MP 1.495, at 20 Avenue 7. Section 88600, 16 Street, SLD MP 0.100, west of 41 Avenue I am sure you will agree that, even though the aforementioned locations are on the secondary system, the crossings are no less important than are those on the primary system. The benefits derived from the pedestrian type signal crossings far outweigh those of a simple speed reduction zon,. warranted at these locations. It will cost the Department between $8,000 and $9,000 per location to have a contractor install the pedestrian signals on the prima_y system. If the County concurs with our recommendations, a Resolution must be passed requesting the use of secondary monies to purchase equipment for all of the proposed crossings on the secondary system. Cost of the equipment alone would be in the range of $2,400 to $2,800 per location. 1he total cost for equipment at all seven locations would be approxi- mately $20,000. Ile would purchase the equipment and have it delivered to our Fort Pierce Maintenance Yard. Then arrangements could be made between the County and the Fort Pierce Maintenance Yard for delivery. Once the equipment has been procured, or even prior to that, the County can make arrangements with another public body or a contractor for installation. Enclosed are six copies of a Resolution and Maintenance Agreement covering signals on the secondary system. The neem of the Department are detailed. Modifications to fit local requirements may be made, however. Please see that all six copies are originally signed, sealed and witnessed before transmitting them back to us. Dates on the Agreement should be left blank, as they will be inserted in Tallahassee at the time of final execution by the State.
