Introduction

1 | INTRODUCTION In March 2007, the River to Sea Transportation Planning Organization (River to Sea TPO), formerly the Volusia Transportation Planning Organization, completed a Bicycle and Pedestrian Safety Review Study for Holly Hill Elementary School (now Holly Hill School, a K-8 school). The study was prepared by Hoke Design, Inc. at the request of the River to Sea TPO. Several sidewalk improvements were recommended as a result of the safety study and provided a guideline for future improvements within the City of Holly Hill. This study investigates sidewalk feasibility along both sides of Center Avenue from LPGA Boulevard to Flomich Street. The main purpose of the study is to provide planned sidewalk improvements to form a connected network of sidewalks that provide access to Holly Hill School. Currently, the sidewalk along Center Avenue is on the west side of the road from LPGA Boulevard to Flomich Street. There is no sidewalk along the east Figure 1: Holly Hill School side of Center Avenue within the project limits. Therefore, pedestrians and students have to walk along the side of the road on the east side or cross Center Avenue to access the sidewalk on the west side. The project purpose and scope for this study are further explained in Section 2, and revolve around the following major goals determined by the City of Holly Hill: » »

Replace the existing sidewalk with new sidewalk along the west side of Center Avenue from LPGA Boulevard to Flomich Street; and, Construct a new sidewalk on the east side of Center Avenue from LPGA Boulevard to Flomich Street.

In addition to providing safer access to Holly Hill School, the proposed sidewalk along Center Avenue would provide local residents with safer access to public transportation, commercial properties, and other community institutions within the area.

Project Purpose and Scope

2 | PROJECT PURPOSE AND SCOPE This sidewalk feasibility study is part of a group of other planned sidewalk improvements within the City of Holly Hill. Most recently, the River to Sea TPO completed a similar feasibility study for sidewalk along Flomich Street from Nova Road to Decatur Avenue and is in the process of completing a study for 15th Street from Nova Road to Center Avenue. The purpose of the Center Avenue sidewalk feasibility study along with other planned improvements is to serve the Holly Hill School and the surrounding neighborhood. The improvement of sidewalks on Center Avenue was discussed within the Bicycle and Pedestrian Safety Review Study for Holly Hill Elementary School. At the time, the improvements were not included as a recommended project because the City of Holly Hill had plans to upgrade the sidewalks within the area. Due to budgeting and funding issues, the city project was cancelled; however, the need for sidewalk improvement along Center Avenue remains a major priority. The Holly Hill School is surrounded by a densely populated residential area. The majority of the school’s student population walks or bikes to school. The sidewalk improvements along Center Avenue would serve approximately 300 students that use the corridor daily. According to the City of Holly Hill and the Holly Hill Police Department, the planned improvements would add substantially to the safety of both students and motorists. Additionally, there is a planned senior housing community at Bishop Glen within a half-mile radius of the project corridor along LPGA Boulevard that would benefit from sidewalk improvements along Center Avenue. There are also other commercial/retail uses in the area which provide another reason to improve the sidewalk network connectivity between LPGA Boulevard and Flomich Street. One of the main reasons for the sidewalk improvements along Center Avenue is to enhance pedestrian safety. According to the City of Holly Hill, there has been at least one traffic incident in the past several years involving a student and a vehicle. Improved sidewalk along Center Avenue would also enhance mobility and access to transit. The Volusia County’s Public Transit System (Votran) Route 5 utilizes Center Avenue and has five stops along the project study limits. This provides a connection for the residential neighborhoods with shopping and employment opportunities within Volusia County. The City of Holly Hill would benefit from the planned sidewalk improvements and the completion of these planned improvements would address the city’s needs.

Project Purpose and Scope Under the existing conditions, Center Avenue has mostly six-foot wide sidewalks extending from LPGA Boulevard north to Flomich Street. There are a few instances where the sidewalk is five feet wide: on the south end near LPGA Boulevard and on the north end near Flomich Street. For the majority of the project corridor there is no sidewalk on the east side with the exception of the Rise Above It Family church property. The church property has a sidewalk in front that is not Figure 2: Sidewalk along west side of Center Avenue connected on either side. This feasibility study examines the possibility of a new five-foot sidewalk along the east side of Center Avenue; and providing a consistent six-foot sidewalk where possible along the west side of Center Avenue. The purpose of this study is to determine the feasibility of providing continuous sidewalk on both sides of the roadway along Center Avenue from LPGA Boulevard to Flomich Street. A field review was conducted during the study for the purposes of data collection, corridor evaluation, development of concept plans, and cost estimates. The cost estimates prepared as part of this study include the sidewalk improvements along both side of Center Avenue. This should help the River to Sea TPO in the budgeting and planning process. The graphics and exhibits in this report include identification of apparent right-of-way, driveways, location of proposed new and replaced sidewalks. The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requirements were used as conformance guidelines for concept plans. The project team would like to extend their appreciation to several agency representatives and stakeholders whose continuing interest in this project and their assistance was invaluable to the process.

3 | EXISTING CONDITIONS The following section provides a general description of the characteristics observed within the project study limits in regards to the physical conditions, environmental conditions, drainage and utilities. It also includes an assessment of the apparent right-of-way.

General Description The Center Avenue sidewalk feasibility project is located within the City of Holly Hill, Florida. The proposed sidewalk is approximately 4,000 linear feet (0.75 miles) in length along Center Avenue from LPGA Boulevard to Flomich Street. There is existing sidewalk varying from 4.5 foot to sixfoot along the west side of the roadway throughout the project corridor. There is no sidewalk along the east side of Center Avenue with the exception of the Rise Above It Family church, which has sidewalk in front of the property. The study area is predominantly residential with some commercial establishments along the northern and southern end of the corridor near LPGA Boulevard and Flomich Street. Additionally, there are some single family houses across from the Holly Hill School along the eastern side of Center Avenue. There are also some social and community institutions dispersed throughout the project corridor along east side of Center Avenue. The commercial establishments along the corridor include: » » » » » »

Citgo – gas station/convenient store Rise Above It Family – church Frank’s/Moye’s Used Auto – junkyard/scrap metal Lighthouse for Christ Ministries – church Annettes Tender Loving – day care center BSI Racing Team, LLC – car/auto parts store

The study area is located within the designated walk-zone for Holly Hill School, which is located along the western side of the study area and at the intersection of 15th Street and Center Avenue. The main entrance to the school is along Center Avenue within the study area. Figure 4 shows an aerial view of the main entrance for the school. In addition, there are five Votran bus stops within the study area all along Center Avenue.

Existing Conditions A field review was conducted by the project team on December 13, 2016. During the field review, the project team assessed existing land uses, roadway crossings, underground and overhead utilities, and existing sidewalk conditions. The team also identified drainage features, distance and offset measurements of different elements and documented photographs for existing conditions. Center Avenue was measured to be 20 feet wide. The field review began on the southern end of the project at the intersection of Center Street and LPGA Boulevard. Figure 5, illustrates the starting point of the field review and the project limits. This intersection and the intersection at Center Avenue and Flomich Street are the only signalized intersections within the study area. The remainder of Center Avenue is free-flowing with all side streets controlled through stop signs (four-way stop at 13th Street and 15th Street). The posted speed limit along Center Avenue is 15 MPH from Flomich Street to just south of 13th Street, where it switches to 25 MPH.

Figure 5: Center Avenue at LPGA Boulevard

Land uses observed along the corridor included a mixture of single-family residential, multi-family Figure 6: Unpaved driveway on east side residential, community/ institutional uses, and commercial properties. There are many driveways along the east and west side of Center Avenue. Many of the driveways along the southern portion of the study corridor are unpaved or gravel. Figure 6 demonstrates an example of one of the existing unpaved driveways. The majority of the driveways along the northern portion of the study corridor and north of the Holly Hill School are paved but do not appear to meet ADA requirements. The majority of the commercial businesses along the eastern side of Center Avenue have gravel or unpaved driveways. Figure 7 shows an example of an existing unpaved driveway for a business along the east side of Center Avenue. The concept plan, further explained in Section 4 and the exhibits provided as an attachment in Appendix A, identify the driveways Figure 7: Unpaved driveway on east side recommended to receive ADA-compliant concrete or asphalt aprons.

Utilities During the field review, the project team made a utilities assessment along the study corridor. Overhead power lines are located along the corridor on the west side of Center Avenue from LPGA Boulevard to Flomich Street. Intermittently, there are power poles along the east side of Center Avenue. A total of 37 power poles were assessed during the field visit. The distance of the power poles from the edge of pavement varies from 5 feet to more than 20 feet. Many of the power poles on the southern end of the project limits, along the east side of Center Avenue, seem to have been recently installed. Figure 8 shows an example of one of the new power poles observed along Center Avenue. Four fire hydrants were also observed along the Center Avenue corridor (two on the east side and two on the west side). Watermain valves and sanitary sewer manholes were noted along the east side of Center Avenue.

Storm drains are located at several locations within the project corridor (Figure 9) and shown in the concept plans; Drainage swales up to three feet in depth are located on the west side of Center Avenue beginning 150 feet north of Alice Avenue ; Drainage swales up to three feet in depth are located on the east side of Center Avenue beginning 350 feet north of Alice Avenue. A drainage system outfall consisting of a 15inch pipe is located in the swale on the west side of Center Avenue. The headwall is located 230 feet north of Alice Avenue and is connected to a storm drain system that is located on the east side of Center Avenue (Figure 10); There are seven (7) side drains located in the project corridor. One is located on the west side of Center Avenue and the other six are located on the east side of the roadway (Figure 11 and Figure 12).

Existing Conditions A review of FEMA’s Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs) for Volusia County showed that the study area is not located within a flood zone. The FIRMs for the study area are included in Appendix C with the project limits shown in red. Since the project does not fall in a floodplain there will be no impacts and floodplain compensation will not be necessary.

Soils The proposed sidewalk traverses through Myakka-Myakka, wet fine sands, 0- to 2-percent slopes and Myakka-Urban land complex. All are poorly drained sandy soils. A soil map is included in Appendix D. This map was prepared through the Web Soil Survey (WSS) operated by USDA Natural Resources Conservation Services (NRCS).

Environmental The Center Avenue Sidewalk Project is located in a residential area that is built-out. There are no natural areas remaining along the corridor. Center Avenue is on a coastal ridge, and no wetlands are present. Intermittent, open roadside swales on both sides of the roadway collect surface water. This project is expected to be exempt from permitting because no significant adverse impacts individually or cumulatively will occur. Determination of qualification for an activity exemption can be obtained through one application and one $100 fee from the St. John’s River Water Management District (SJRWMD). The upland portions for this sidewalk project are believed to be exempt from permitting under 62-330.051 (4)(c), F.A.C exemption for minor roadway safety construction, alteration, or maintenance and operation because no work occurs in wetlands other than those in drainage ditches constructed in uplands, the project is not an alteration to a project previously permitted under Part IV of Chapter 373, F.S., and all work is conducted in compliance with subsection 62-330.050 (9) F.A.C, and the sidewalk is limited to a width of six feet or less. Once design details and potential wetland and surface water impacts are known, a preapplication meeting should be held with the SJRWMD to verify the project qualifies for an exemption. Permitting for wetland impacts is also regulated under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act, which is administered by the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE). Since there are no wetlands or wetland-cut ditches in the project area, no permit from the USACE should be needed. Coordination with the permitting agency should occur to verify this assumption. Several listed species have the potential to occur in Volusia County, but due to the lack of suitable habitat within the project area, very few are likely to occur.

Existing Conditions This project is not within any Critical Habitat or the Consultation Area for any species. Florida Natural Areas Inventory (FNAI) Element Occurrence data indicates that Least tern (Sterna antillarum) was confirmed to be breeding at Holly Hill School. Least terns are designated by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) as Threatened. This confirmed sighting is from 1993, more recent sightings have not been recorded. Bald eagles (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) are protected under the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act and the Migratory Bird Treaty Act, even though the species has been delisted under the Endangered Species Act. Bald eagle nest VO123 is within a mile of the project, located south of Newport Road/LPGA Boulevard in the vicinity of 10th Street and State Avenue. This nest was surveyed by FWC in 2012 and was last known to be active in 2009. Volusia County is within a Central (Ocala) Bear Management Unit (BMU). Several nuisance Florida black bear (Ursus americanus floridanus) reports are catalogued in the FWC data all around the project area, the most recent report was from March 2015. The lack of suitable habitat and limited scope of this project makes it unlikely that protected species or other wildlife will be impacted by this project.

Sidewalk Concept Plan

4 | SIDEWALK CONCEPT PLAN The following section outlines the sidewalk concept plans detailed in exhibits attached within Appendix A. The sidewalk concept plan section is described through sidewalk improvements along the east and west side of Center Avenue. This section also explains the drainage and utilities improvements for the concept plan.

Sidewalk, Driveways, and Cross Streets This section outlines the concept plan for sidewalk, driveways and cross streets and is separated by improvements on the east and west side of the roadway.

East Side »

»

Construct a new five-foot wide four-inch thick concrete sidewalk along the east side of Center Avenue beginning at LPGA Boulevard. Tie to the existing curb ramp located at the northeast corner of LPGA Boulevard and Center Avenue. Construct back of sidewalk curb along the radius of the sidewalk due to steep existing grades. Continue new five-foot wide four-inch thick concrete sidewalk along the east side of Center Avenue up to 15th Street. The sidewalk offset from the edge of pavement varies from three to ten feet. o Between LPGA Boulevard and 15th Street there are five business entrances which are currently unpaved and should be paved with asphalt in order to provide an ADA compliant crossing (see Figure 13 for examples). Figure 13: Two of five unpaved business o Construct new six-inch thick concrete entrances aprons at 21 residences for ADA compliancy. o There are several mailboxes in conflict with the proposed sidewalk which should be removed and replaced in front of the sidewalk. North of 15th Street continue new five-foot wide four-inch thick concrete sidewalk, varying between four and 16.5 feet from the edge of pavement. The sidewalk should tie to the future sidewalk to be constructed along the north side of 15th Street.

Sidewalk Concept Plan »

»

Tie the proposed sidewalk to the existing sidewalk located in front of the church at 1527 Center Avenue (see Figure 14). This existing five-foot wide sidewalk should be removed and reconstructed in the same location. Continue new five-foot wide four-inch thick concrete sidewalk where the existing sidewalk terminates. Construct the sidewalk approximately four to six feet from the edge of pavement until it approaches Flomich Street. As it approaches Flomich Street, shift the sidewalk to the east to minimize impacts to the existing swale. The proposed sidewalk shall end by tying to the future sidewalk to be located along the south side of Figure 14: Existing sidewalk in front of church on east side Flomich Street that was proposed as part of the Flomich Street Sidewalk Feasibility study o Between 15th Street and Flomich Street construct 12 new six-inch thick concrete aprons, located at each residence as well as the church. o Realign the existing bus stop bench just east of 15th Street in order to construct the new sidewalk with minimal impacts to the existing swale. o There are several mailboxes in conflict with the proposed sidewalk which should be removed and replaced in front of the sidewalk. o Mill and resurface the existing gas station entrance at the southeast corner of the intersection between Center Avenue and Flomich Street. New crosswalk striping is proposed at all side streets and business entrances between LPGA and Flomich Street.

West Side »

Remove all existing five-foot wide sidewalk located on the west side of Center Avenue between LPGA Boulevard and 13th Street and reconstruct it in its existing location. Mill and resurface the two existing parking lot entrances and place new cross walk stripes (see Figure 15). o NOTE: The apparent right-of-way for this section is located at the back of or within the limits of the existing sidewalk. During the field review it was noted that several new, Figure 15: Cracked sidewalk west side of large utility poles were recently constructed Center adjacent to the front of sidewalk and in some cases encroached on the existing sidewalk (see Figure 16).

Pg. 13

Sidewalk Concept Plan In order to widen this sidewalk to six feet, either right-of-way would be needed or the sidewalk would need to be realigned completely to be located in front of the poles, closer to the travel lanes. While there is room, this would impact the existing swale. Therefore, it is not recommended to widen this section of sidewalk to six Figure 16: New utility pole conflict with sidewalk feet. There is one section of sidewalk just north of LPGA Boulevard that is less than five feet wide that should be reconstructed to be a full five feet. A temporary construction easement will be needed to replace the existing sidewalk in areas where it is currently located beyond the right-of-way. Between 13th Street and the apartment complex parking lot entrance located just south of Flomich Street, the existing sidewalk is six feet wide. Remove and reconstruct all sidewalk in its existing location. o Just north of Alice Avenue there is a section where the ground has eroded from the back of sidewalk resulting in a drop off up to seven inches. Regrade to eliminate the drop off (Figure 17). o Mill and resurface both entrances to the Holly Hill School as well as the apartment complex parking lot entrance and place new striping. o Construct new six-inch thick concrete aprons at 10 residences for ADA compliancy. Replace the existing five-foot wide sidewalk from the apartment complex parking lot up to Flomich Street with new six-foot wide, four-inch thick concrete. o

Sidewalk Concept Plan

Drainage The proposed sidewalk improvements avoid most of the existing drainage structures that are located within the project corridor. The proposed sidewalk will require regrading in a few sections of the existing swales. In some cases the existing side drains will need to be reconstructed to align with the new ditch. There are six side drains located on the east side of Center Avenue that will be replaced. There are also several pipes that are to remain and will require desilting and have been identified in the concept plans. For example, Figure 18 shows an area on the east side of Center Avenue where the proposed sidewalk will be placed that will require regrading of the existing swale that will not significantly change the conveyance capacity of the swale. The existing 15-inch side drain that is located on the east side of Center Avenue 200 feet south of Flomich Street will be extended to the north to accommodate the proposed sidewalk improvements shown on the Concept Plans. Figure 19 shows the existing headwall (overgrown with vegetation) that will be replaced with a 15-pipe extension and mitered end section.

Utilities and Mailboxes » »

»

No utility power pole relocations are identified within the concept plan. There are several exposed water distribution lines along the east side of Center Avenue that should be relocated underground by the utility owner. These locations are identified in the concept plans in Appendix A. Many mailboxes on the east side of Center Avenue will have to be relocated to accommodate the new sidewalk. The locations of the mailboxes to be relocated are identified within the concept plans in Appendix A.

Financial Feasibility

5 | FINANCIAL FEASIBILITY This section summarizes preliminary cost estimates for the design and construction of the proposed sidewalk improvements along Center Avenue. Tables 3 summarize the estimates for the construction of new sidewalk along the east side and replacement of the sidewalk along the west side of Center Avenue. This cost estimate is completed for the purposes of the feasibility study and to allow the River to Sea TPO and City of Holly Hill to prioritize planned sidewalk improvements. The item numbers and units of measurement are based on FDOT’s Basis of Estimates Manual. The unit prices are based on historical average costs for each pay item provided by FDOT. Based on the small nature and size of the project some unit prices may have been inflated. To adjust for potential future increases in the project’s cost estimates, an annual inflationary factor was applied based on FDOT guidelines.

6 | CONCLUSION The purpose of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of constructing sidewalk along Center Avenue to provide a continuous sidewalk network from LPGA Boulevard to Flomich Street. The proposed sidewalk includes replacing existing sidewalk with new sidewalk along the west side of Center Avenue and constructing a new sidewalk along the east side throughout the project limits. The proposed sidewalk concept plans are presented within this study to help the River to Sea TPO and City of Holly Hill prioritize funding available with planned improvements. Additional improvements such as new driveway turnouts and limited milling and resurfacing are recommended along the study corridor in order to meet ADA standards. These features are detailed within Appendix A. As a result of this study, it has been determined that constructing this sidewalk is feasible with the following conditions: » » »

Relocation of many of the mailboxes along the side of the road on the east side of Center Avenue; Minor regrading of a few existing swales along the east side of Center Avenue; and, Extension of an existing side drain along the east side of Center Avenue.

Maps from the Web Soil Survey are based on the Web Mercator projection, which preserves direction and shape but distorts distance and area. A projection that preserves area, such as the Albers equal-area conic projection, should be used if more accurate calculations of distance or area are required.

Map Unit Descriptions The map units delineated on the detailed soil maps in a soil survey represent the soils or miscellaneous areas in the survey area. The map unit descriptions, along with the maps, can be used to determine the composition and properties of a unit. A map unit delineation on a soil map represents an area dominated by one or more major kinds of soil or miscellaneous areas. A map unit is identified and named according to the taxonomic classification of the dominant soils. Within a taxonomic class there are precisely defined limits for the properties of the soils. On the landscape, however, the soils are natural phenomena, and they have the characteristic variability of all natural phenomena. Thus, the range of some observed properties may extend beyond the limits defined for a taxonomic class. Areas of soils of a single taxonomic class rarely, if ever, can be mapped without including areas of other taxonomic classes. Consequently, every map unit is made up of the soils or miscellaneous areas for which it is named and some minor components that belong to taxonomic classes other than those of the major soils. Most minor soils have properties similar to those of the dominant soil or soils in the map unit, and thus they do not affect use and management. These are called noncontrasting, or similar, components. They may or may not be mentioned in a particular map unit description. Other minor components, however, have properties and behavioral characteristics divergent enough to affect use or to require different management. These are called contrasting, or dissimilar, components. They generally are in small areas and could not be mapped separately because of the scale used. Some small areas of strongly contrasting soils or miscellaneous areas are identified by a special symbol on the maps. If included in the database for a given area, the contrasting minor components are identified in the map unit descriptions along with some characteristics of each. A few areas of minor components may not have been observed, and consequently they are not mentioned in the descriptions, especially where the pattern was so complex that it was impractical to make enough observations to identify all the soils and miscellaneous areas on the landscape. The presence of minor components in a map unit in no way diminishes the usefulness or accuracy of the data. The objective of mapping is not to delineate pure taxonomic classes but rather to separate the landscape into landforms or landform segments that have similar use and management requirements. The delineation of such segments on the map provides sufficient information for the development of resource plans. If intensive use of small areas is planned, however,

Custom Soil Resource Report onsite investigation is needed to define and locate the soils and miscellaneous areas. An identifying symbol precedes the map unit name in the map unit descriptions. Each description includes general facts about the unit and gives important soil properties and qualities. Soils that have profiles that are almost alike make up a soil series. Except for differences in texture of the surface layer, all the soils of a series have major horizons that are similar in composition, thickness, and arrangement. Soils of one series can differ in texture of the surface layer, slope, stoniness, salinity, degree of erosion, and other characteristics that affect their use. On the basis of such differences, a soil series is divided into soil phases. Most of the areas shown on the detailed soil maps are phases of soil series. The name of a soil phase commonly indicates a feature that affects use or management. For example, Alpha silt loam, 0 to 2 percent slopes, is a phase of the Alpha series. Some map units are made up of two or more major soils or miscellaneous areas. These map units are complexes, associations, or undifferentiated groups. A complex consists of two or more soils or miscellaneous areas in such an intricate pattern or in such small areas that they cannot be shown separately on the maps. The pattern and proportion of the soils or miscellaneous areas are somewhat similar in all areas. Alpha-Beta complex, 0 to 6 percent slopes, is an example. An association is made up of two or more geographically associated soils or miscellaneous areas that are shown as one unit on the maps. Because of present or anticipated uses of the map units in the survey area, it was not considered practical or necessary to map the soils or miscellaneous areas separately. The pattern and relative proportion of the soils or miscellaneous areas are somewhat similar. Alpha-Beta association, 0 to 2 percent slopes, is an example. An undifferentiated group is made up of two or more soils or miscellaneous areas that could be mapped individually but are mapped as one unit because similar interpretations can be made for use and management. The pattern and proportion of the soils or miscellaneous areas in a mapped area are not uniform. An area can be made up of only one of the major soils or miscellaneous areas, or it can be made up of all of them. Alpha and Beta soils, 0 to 2 percent slopes, is an example. Some surveys include miscellaneous areas. Such areas have little or no soil material and support little or no vegetation. Rock outcrop is an example.

Inflation Factors _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

This “Transportation Costs” report is one of a series of reports issued by the Office of Policy Planning. It provides information on inflation factors and other indices that may be used to convert Present Day Costs (PDC) to Year Of Expenditure costs (YOE) or vice versa. This report is updated annually when the factors are posted within the FDOT Work Program Instructions. Please note that the methodology for Inflationary adjustments relating to specific transportation projects should be addressed with the district office where the project will be located. For general use or non-specific areas, the guidelines provided herein may be used for inflationary adjustments. Construction Cost Inflation Factors The table on the next page includes the inflation factors and present day cost (PDC) multipliers that are applied to the Department’s Work Program for highway construction costs expressed in Fiscal Year 2017 dollars. Other Transportation Cost Inflation Factors Other indices may be used to adjust project costs for other transportation modes or nonconstruction components of costs. Examples are as follows: The Consumer Price Index (CPI, also retail price index) is a weighted average of prices of a specified set of products and services purchased by wage earners in urban areas. As such, it provides one measure of inflation. The CPI is a fixed quantity price index and a reasonable cost-of-living index. The Employment Cost Index (ECI) is based on the National Compensation Survey. It measures quarterly changes in compensation costs, which include wages, salaries, and other employer costs for civilian workers (nonfarm private industry and state and local government). The monthly series, Producer Price Index for Other Non-residential Construction, is available from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). It is not exclusively a highway construction index, but it is the best available national estimate of changes in highway costs from month to month.

This report is one in a series on transportation costs. The latest version of this and other reports are available at http://www.dot.state.fl.us/planning/policy/costs/default.asp July 18, 2016 Page 1 of 2
