EXHIBIT A SCOPE OF SERVICES FOR PREPARING THE INDIAN RIVER COUNTY PUBLIC SCHOOL FACILITIES ELEMENT (PSFE), PREPARING SCHOOL CONCURRENCY GUIDELINES AND PROCEDURES , AND AMENDING THE SCHOOL INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT PROJECT UNDERSTANDING As part of the Florida Legislature ' s 2005 growth management law ( SB 360) , all local governments in the state must adopt school concurrency provisions as part of their comprehensive plans by 2008 . To meet the school concurrency requirements , local governments must adopt a public school facilities element, amend their capital improvements element, amend their intergovernmental coordination element, and enter into an interlocal agreement with the applicable school board . To assist local governments and school boards in complying with the new school concurrency requirements, the state Department of Community Affairs (DCA) has selected Indian River County as one of six school concurrency pilot communities . Since Indian River County is a pilot community, DCA will provide the County Commission and the School Board with funding to prepare the applicable school concurrency documents , provided the documents are prepared in accordance with a Pilot Communities Scope of Work . That scope of work requires completion of the project by June 1 , 2006 , with several interim items required for submission to DCA. SCOPE OF SERVICES Based on the information outlined in the project understanding, Kimley Horn and Associates , Inc . (KHA) has divided our approach into several tasks . Task I. Interlocal Agreement (ILA) Modifications KHA shall review the existing Indian River County ILA for public school planning, review SB 360, identify those provisions that need to be revised, and identify new provisions that must be added to meet school concurrency requirements . KHA will coordinate with staff from the SCHOOL BOARD and the COUNTY to amend the existing ILA. The ILA shall identify the responsibilities of each party and new procedures for school concurrency. To complete this task, KHA will : ■ Review the existing ILA ■ Attend an organizational and consensus building meeting — Kickoff ■ Attend School Board meeting scheduled for December 13 , 2005 ■ Coordinate with parties of the agreement to identify necessary changes to ILA ■ Provide an electronic copy of the revised ILA to the COUNTY for copying and distribution to the SCHOOL BOARD and municipalities ■ Incorporate necessary revisions into the draft ILA 1
