SEP 3 01981 BOOK 47 uu 617 ALTERNATIVES AND ANALYSIS: The Kimley-Horn contract, with the revisions sought by D.O.T. and the County Administration, will provide the required services to produce the study, within the constraints of the grant offer. The voluntary participation of the Council on Aging for the dura- tion of the planning effort will satisfy the D.O.T. requirement for designating an agency to act as the transportation provider. Since this is done only to meet planning requirements and does not involve any performance on the part of the designee, there will not be any formal agreement between D.O.T. and the "Provider". RECOMMENDATIONS AND FUNDING: The County has been offered a grant, through Florida D.O.T., in the amount of $8,000 to prepare a study for Coordination of Transporta- tion Disadvantaged Services. All contracts and agreements have been received, negotiated and reviewed as requested. Accordingly, the Administration recommends approval of these documents under the constraints noted above, so that work can commence on this study as soon as possible in order to allow maximum time for the consul. to meet the December 15, 1981 deadline. The following items are recommended for consideration and actic:. the Board of County Commissioners: A. Approve the contract between the Florida D.O.T. and the County, as submitted, which will provide $8,000.00 for preparing for the Coordinated Transportation Disadvantaged Services. This approval will authorize the Chairman to sign the four (4) required copies of the contract for submittal to Florida D.O.T. B. Approve the contract between Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc., as submitted. This will provide the necessary services to produce the plan required by Florida D.O.T. for the lump sum fee of $8,000.00 provid- ed through the D.O.T. contract. This approval will allow the Chairman to sign the copies provided thereby completing the contract, allowing work to commence. C. Accept the offer of the Indian River Council on Aging allowing them to be designated as the interim provider of Transportation Dis- Advantaged Services until such time as the plan is completed and ac- cepted by the Florida D.O.T. and the County.
