MOTION TO APPROVE: Approval of the Updated Professional Services Procurement Procedure

This provides the updated procedure that governs MTECC’s procurement of professional services including: program manager; design engineering services; construction engineering and inspection; and any related services in support of MTECC’s mission to support the delivery of projects on behalf of MTECC members.

MTECC staff worked on the Professional Services Procurement Procedure with the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) to update for current legal, rules, regulations and procedures for the implementation of federal grant funded projects from FDOT (federal highway funds), Federal Transit Administration and other federal funding programs.

 

Summaries of adjustments include the following:

 

· Included detail reference to the FDOT Local Agency Program (LAP) Manual and more details in the procedure directly tied to the LAP Manual.

· Added more detail on the City Project Manager (Responsible Charge as defined in the LAP Manual) in the procurement process.

· Added more detail on the overall procurement processes to ensure compliance with the LAP Manual.

The proposed Professional Services Procurement Procedure is attached.

Recommend approval of the proposed Professional Services Procurement Procedure effective February 2026, to replace the current procedure.
