Re: Hurricane Frances FHWA Emergency Relief Program Agreements,
Financial Project Number 417518-7-78-01
Mr. Wayne:
JOSS ABR1 U
SECRETAFtY
Please find enclosed four (4) original Emergency Relief Program Joint Project Agreements (JPAs) for execution
by the City of Miami (City). Once fully executed, this agreement will allow the Florida Department of
Transportation (Department) to act as the administrator on behalf of the Federal Highway Administration
(FHWA) in the reimbursement of Emergency Relief Program funding for damage incurred as a result of
Hurricane Frances. The administration of FHWA Emergency Relief Program funds is subject to the terms and
conditions of 23 USC §125 and the FHWA Program Administration Manual. For any work performed under this
agreement to be considered reimbursable by FHWA, said work must have been done as emergency work only
and not permanent restoration. If any permanent restoration needs to be done then approval must be received
from FHWA prior to the beginning of any work. Any permanent work performed without prior approval will
neither be reimbursable from FHWA nor the Department.
Please procure a Resolution of the City Commission to authorize the City Manager to execute these
agreements. Moreover, please enter the Work Began' and Work Completed' dates on the first page of each
original JPA. Once authorized, please return all four (4) partially executed agreements to my attention at:
Florida Department of Transportation
Attn: Kenneth Robertson, JPA Coordinator

Miami, Florida 33172
Once you receive the agreements back from the Department fully executed, the City will then be able to invoice
the Department for reimbursement under the FHWA Emergency Relief Program. Invoices received prior to
Department execution of these agreements will be returned unpaid.
