Local Agency Specifications
Local Agency Program (LAP) Specifications:
LAP Projects are classified as A, B, C, or D, and this classification determines the Specifications that are to be implemented. An easy-to-follow resource that demonstrates this implementation can be found in Chapter 17 section 17.4 of the LP Manual, Table 1: Project classifications.
Specification to be used by Project Class:
Class A LAP projects must use full FDOT Standard Specifications for Road and Bridge Construction.
Class B and Class C (with structural components) LAP projects must use LAP Division 1 Specifications as well as Division II and III of the FDOT Standard Specifications for Road and Bridge Construction and implemented modifications in accordance with the LP Manual.
Class C (Non-structural components) and Class D LAP projects must use the LAP Division 1 Specifications and either the pre-approved Big 3 Specifications or their own local agency specifications approved in advance for Division II and III in accordance with the LP Manual.
LAP Division 1 Specifications - Please see Office of Design Bulletin 24-03 for additional information.
LAP "Big 3" Specifications (for use on Non-structural components of Class C and Class D projects):
The "Big 3" Specifications were developed in conjunction with the Florida Green Book Committee, our Local Agency Program (LAP) partners, the Florida Association of County Engineers and Road Superintendents (FACERS), and the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) to be used in place of full Division II and III Specifications for Non-structural Class C and Class D LAP projects when applicable.
