Approval of this item will allow the MPO to update the scope of work with Goodman Public Relations, Inc to further enhance the MPO website and bring it up to modern industry standards.

On November 4, 2021, the MPO entered into an Agreement with Goodman Public Relations, Inc for Website Services at a cost not to exceed $150,000. This Agreement allowed for a website redesign, technical support, maintenance and hosting the Broward MPO website. For the initial Agreement with Goodman for these services, please see Attachment 1.

Since the revision of the MPO's website several years ago, industry standards have continued to evolve, necessitating further updates to the MPO's website. Therefore, staff is proposing a First Amendment to the existing Agreement with Goodman that would allow additional enhancements to be made to the website to modernize it and have it reflect the Organization's updated theme, improve navigation, and provide an optimized user experience. These enhancements will ensure visual consistency, improve content discoverability through advanced search functionality, and add interactive elements to better connect visitors with MPO programs and initiatives.

For the proposed First Amendment to the Agreement with Goodman Public Relations, Inc., including additional details on the planned enhancements, please see Attachment 2. The Amendment provides for the services mentioned above at a cost not to exceed $98,527, bringing the total amount of the Agreement to $248,527. This Amendment does not impact the term length of the Agreement.

MPO and consultant staff will be available at the upcoming meeting to address any questions or comments.

MPO staff recommends approval of the proposed First Amendment to Agreement No. 21-01 with Goodman Public Relations, Inc for Website Services in a total amount not to exceed $248,527.
