TO: James E. Chandler, <br />County Administrator <br />FROM: James W. Davis, P.E., <br />Public Works Directo <br />li <br />SUBJECT: Street Lighting of 27tK Avenue (SR607) from <br />St. Lucie County Line to SR60 by Florida DOT <br />REF. LETTER: Ruth Yanks, Utilities Coordinator to James Davis <br />dated June 9, 1994 <br />DATE: June 24, 1994 FILE: 27LOTs.AON <br />DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS <br />The Florida DOT is currently designing shoulder widening and <br />resurfacing of 27th Avenue (SR607) between SR60 -and the South <br />County line. The corridor has been evaluated by the DOT for street <br />lighting and qualifies for state funded street lights. The DOT has <br />offered to furnish and install lights with three options proposed: <br />Yearly Energy <br />Costs <br />Option 1: <br />Full length of project <br />105 lights <br />$ <br />8,820 <br />Option 2: <br />Oslo Road to SR 60 '68 <br />lights <br />$ <br />5,712 <br />Option 3: <br />9 Main intersections <br />27 lights <br />$ <br />21268 <br />The County would be responsible for funding the yearly energy <br />costs. <br />ALTERNATIVES AND ANALYSIS <br />Due to recent budgetary reductions, staff does not recommend Option <br />1. Option 2 would be preferable, but the $5,712 yearly cost is <br />also significant. As a minimum, the nine intersections should be <br />lighted. <br />RECOMMENDATIONS AND FUNDING <br />Staff recommends Option 3 whereby 27 lights are added at an annual <br />cost of approximately $2,268 for energy consumption. Funding to be <br />in ,FY95/96 in the Traffic Engineering budget (111 -245 - <br />Transportation Fund). <br />MOTION was made by Commissioner Macht, SECONDED by <br />Commissioner Adams, that the Board approve staff's <br />recommendation of Option No. 3. <br />Under discussion, Commissioner Bird wondered if we are being <br />short sighted in not accepting help to light that heavily travelled <br />corridor by having the State pay $1, 000.00 each for installation of <br />68 lights between Oslo Road and SR -60. He felt we should go ahead <br />and seize this opportunity. <br />33 <br />J U L 5 1994 9 FBF 764 <br />
