Taylor County adopts four FDOT time‑extension agreements for road widenings and resurfacing
Summary
The board adopted resolutions and approved time‑extension supplemental agreements on four FDOT projects (Ash Street, First Avenue South, Cedar Island Road and McDaniel Road) to allow additional time for design and construction; staff said reallocated funds could allow bidding by March if approved by FDOT.
Taylor County commissioners unanimously adopted resolutions and approved time‑extension supplemental agreements for four FDOT projects: Ash Street widening/resurfacing, First Avenue South widening/resurfacing, Cedar Island Road widening/resurfacing, and McDaniel Road widening/resurfacing.
County staff explained the supplemental agreements extend the timeline for design or construction and may require FDOT to reallocate funds. The board adopted the required resolutions to authorize the chair to sign each agreement and approved the agreements by motion. Staff noted that funds freed by terminating a prior contractor could be reallocated and, if FDOT approves, staff hopes to advertise bids as early as March.
Each supplemental agreement requires a technical back‑and‑forth with FDOT; no project scope changes were approved at this meeting beyond the time extensions.
Next steps: staff will follow up with FDOT on reallocation of funding and return to the board with any changes or a bidding timeline.
