 |
 |
The Capital Investment Program proposes, designs, and
manages projects intended to preserve, enhance, or add to
the City's infrastructure. Such projects include water,
sewer and stormwater rehabilitation, water, sewer and reuse
system extensions, roadway construction, development-related
projects, and rehabilitation of public buildings. The
five-year CIP Plan is updated annually and enhances the
budget process. As part of managing such projects, the CIP
will identify financial resources, prepare bid documents,
assist in bid advertising and evaluation, draft Commission
agenda items and contract documents, and supervise
construction. Where needed the CIP will also provide public
information regarding selected projects, such as those being
undertaken in established neighborhoods. |

TIGER Discretionary Grant Program
The City of Ocoee, Florida, has submited its formal
application for $19.8 million in TIGER Discretionary Grant Program
funds to help finance construction of a local street network that
will create a new commercial and residential area of our city. This
network will simultaneously provide a local traffic bypass for one
of the most congested highways in Central Florida, State Road 50, a
highway named the 12th most dangerous in the U.S.A. The proposed
local street network consists of new construction applying the
concepts of Shared Space and connections to existing roadways that
will produce a parallel facility to SR 50. Rather than serving to
put long-distance traffic on a high-speed bypass route, we plan to
move local traffic off the main highway and put it onto a facility
designed for such traffic. The conventional alternative of widening
SR 50 would cost twice as much while providing no economic benefits
and virtually no congestion relief.
Our application consists of the following four documents
contained in separate PDF files:
1. TIGER
Discretionary Grant Application (25 pages)
2.
Transmittal and compliance letter from City Manager Robert Frank
(1 page)
3. Section
1511 certification letter from Mayor S. Scott Vandergrift (1
page)
4. Supporting
letter from Mr. Harold Barley, Executive Director of MetroPlan
Orlando, our MPO (1 page)
