Council adopts FDOT-required nondiscrimination language for contracts under Resolution 2025-20
Summary
The council approved Resolution 2025-20 to place FDOT-required nondiscrimination language, including Title VI assurances, into applicable city contracts.
The City Council approved Resolution 2025-20, adopting nondiscrimination assurances required by the Florida Department of Transportation and the U.S. Department of Transportation for contracts involving federal highway funds.
Staff explained that the Federal Highway Administration requires nondiscrimination language be included in contracts, especially those associated with FDOT funding; section text and appendices provided by FDOT will be added to relevant contracts. “It’s just a new requirement that’s come down,” the presenter said while explaining the need to place the language from FDOT appendices and the Title VI nondiscrimination assurances into applicable city contracts.
The resolution delegates authority consistent with the FDOT language so that future contracts that require the clauses will include them. The council moved, voted and approved Resolution 2025-20 on the record.
Council’s approval places the nondiscrimination assurances into the city’s contracting practice for projects tied to FDOT or federal funding. Staff will incorporate the specific FDOT appendix language and Title VI assurances into the affected contracts and proceed under the resolution’s terms.
