PART 2 - LOCAL AGENCY PROGRAM (LAP) CERTIFICATION
LAP is FDOT's primary mechanism to provide governmental subrecipients with federal funds to develop
transportation infrastructure facilities through cost -reimbursement (grant) agreements. This legal instrument (the
grant agreement) will describe intergovernmental tasks to be accomplished and the funds to be reimbursed for
selected projects. The FDOT Local Programs Manual and FDOT Procedure 525-010-300 provides details for
local agencies to complete a certification process that is a risk -based assessment evaluating whether they have
sufficient qualifications and abilities "to undertake and satisfactorily complete the work" for infrastructure projects.
Non-profit organizations are not eligible for LAP certification, local agencies are not eligible for certification of Project
Development and Environment (PD&E) or Right -of -Way (ROW) acquisition phases. FDOT is required to provide
oversight on fee -simple and Tess -than -fee ROW acquisition phases, including license agreements, encroachment
agreements, perpetual easements, temporary construction easements, and donations.

REQUIRED UPLOAD for Infrastructure (not applicable for NI): OWNERSHIP / ROW STATUS
SUPPORTING DOCUMENTATION including applicable ROW Certification including ownership verification
documenting site control and related landowner supporting documentation. Site control documents must include an
adequate legal description of the parcel(s) comprising the project site, such that staff can compare it to the boundary map
submitted with the application and evaluate whether there is control of the project site (e.g., ROW Certification, ROW
maps, plats, warranty deeds, prescriptions, certified surveys, easements, use agreement, etc.). Maps should clearly show
the location of each ownership in relation to the project boundary and / or limits. NOTE: provide map documentation
on 8.5" x 11" scale. DO NOT provide reduced copies of original plats and or maps that cannot be read at scale. If

impacted parcel.

PART 12 - PROJECT IMPLEMENTATION AND COSTS
Complete either the Infrastructure Table Summary with the overall project programming (phases, schedule, and
estimated costs for the proposed work) or the NI Cost Narrative Table. Then, upload supporting documentation.
Not all phase types may be eligible for TA funds, and not all areas prioritize all phases. Local agencies are responsi-
ble for covering all unanticipated cost increases, including but not limited to price inflation and increases in the cost of
construction; account for them using local funds. FDOT does not allow programming TA funds for contingency costs.
The local agency must have the ability to pay for non -participating costs (e.g., utility relocation). Chapter 337.14, F.S.
prohibits an entity from performing both design services and construction engineering inspection services (CEI) for a
project wholly or partially funded by the FDOT and administered by a local government entity.
REQUIRED UPLOAD: PROJECT IMPLEMENTATION AND COSTS SUPPORTING DOCUMENTATION.
1) Either provide a detailed engineer cost estimate if the project is designed or if the project has not been designed or is a
NI project, provide a detailed opinion of probable costs (including all pay items and a timeline for deliverable). Utilize the
FDOT Basis of Estimates Manual to develop a detailed estimate with FDOT pay items for construction phase estimates.
2) As applicable, letter from local agency budget office committing local funds to the project.
