so that DEP may receive funds in advance of each task, with the MPO reimbursing the County at the conclusion of each task (the MPO receives its funding through the Florida DOT on a reimbursement basis). This relationship is documented in Attachment 2 of this staff report. ■ The County and the DEP agree that the DEP will complete work to reference ties to township corners of common use. This work has been budgeted in FY 1996/97 by the Public Works and Utilities Departments, and is to be done on a Task Order basis. This relationship is identified in Attachment 3 of this staff report. The task work order arrangement for each Memorandum of Understanding allows the County to authorize specific tasks for the DEP to complete without the need to develop a new agreement for each component of the project. The task work order also allows the County to control the timing of individual work products, and provides for incremental review of the DEP's work. The County may stop the commencement of a component of this work by simply not issuing a task work order for that component. One requirement of the County/DEP Memorandum of Understanding for creating reference ties to township corners (Attachment 3) is that the County agree to maintain the control network. This involves confirming that the monuments remain in place and replacing any monuments that are destroyed. As with any project requiring periodic maintenance, the County will need to budget in the future for maintenance of the monuments being placed. The amount of needed maintenance funding is not anticipated to be substantial. The MPO will consider its agreement with Indian River County at the February 12, 1997 MPO meeting. In the past, the MPO discussed this project and agreed to work with the DEP to accomplish this work. In addition, the memorandum.of understanding between the County and the MPO must be reviewed by the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) and the Federal Highway Administration prior to execution. FDOT officials have informally reviewed the agreement, and their comments have been incorporated into Attachment 1 of this staff report. Staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners review the information provided herein, authorize the Chairman to execute the finalized Memoranda of Understanding in Attachments 1, 2, and 3, and authorize staff to issue task work orders to commence the work.
