Approval of the Interlocal Agreement (ILA) with the City of Hallandale Beach will allow the City to issue mutually agreed upon task work orders to the MPO for transportation planning services on an as-needed basis.

The MPO is authorized, pursuant to Sections 339.175(6)(g) and 163.01, Florida Statutes, to contract with other governmental entities in order to accomplish its metropolitan planning and programming duties as well as administrative functions. As the MPO has the ability to assist its member governments by providing expertise in the areas of metropolitan planning, land use analysis, transportation/transit studies, public outreach and engagement, and transportation/transit-related grants, member governments have the opportunity to enter into an ILA with the MPO for these types of services on an as-needed/task work order basis.

The City of Hallandale Beach is seeking appropriate expertise in transportation (such as the fields identified above) to better serve its present and future needs. The proposed ILA will enable the City to submit task work orders to the MPO for needed transportation services, freeing up City resources. Depending on the nature of the work requested, the MPO may choose to utilize its Library of Service Providers/General Planning Consultants (consisting of the following firms: Kittelson and Associates; Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc.; and Whitehouse Group Inc.) to complete the work. In exchange for providing these services, the MPO shall be compensated for staff time as well as direct and indirect costs.

For the proposed ILA with the City, please see the Attachment. Questions and comments will be addressed at the upcoming meeting.
 

MPO staff recommends approval of the proposed ILA with the City of Hallandale Beach for Transportation Planning and Related Services.
