TRANSPORTATION SERVICES
Recommendation: Approve the Interlocal Agreement with the City and CRA for funding of

..Body
Background:
The Downtown Transit System Program is described in the adopted
Community Redevelopment Plan: #3.4: Downtown Transit System - The
“Downtown Roundabout” (See Exhibit A). The Program is supported
pursuant to Transportation Element Goal Area “D” of the City’s
Comprehensive Plan, which states: Alternative (to the automobile)
transportation options shall be created and enhanced, encouraging safety
and utilization. The City began offering a free shuttle service named the
Downtown Roundabout in January of 2007, providing free transportation
through the downtown area from Tri-Rail to the beach, using a combination
of City and CRA funds. Over the years, the original vehicles have changed
and other funding sources supporting the program have diminished. The
current program is funded by the CRA and administered by the City .
However, it is noted, in 2020, the City will receive a grant from the Palm
Beach Transportation Planning Agency in the amount of $860,000 to
purchase new vehicles. These vehicles will be used to help provide
fixed-route transportation services and are expected to be brought into
service by November 2021.
In May 2018, the City issued a Request for Proposals for Transportation
Services to provide a Fixed Route, Point-to-Point or Combination of the
services. Based on the anticipated multi-modal mobility program, the City
requested funding in FY 2018-19 in the amount of $975,000.
At its meeting of September 11, 2018, the CRA Board tabled the Interlocal
Agreement between the CRA and the City for the funding of the
Transportation Services. The discussion focused primarily on the trolley
vehicles and utilization. However, the CRA Board approved the budget with
$975,000 allocated for Downtown Mobility.
Subsequent to the CRA Board meeting the City canceled the RFP for
Transportation Services and was discontinued the trolley service due to lack
of funding. At the September 25, 2018 City Commission meeting, the
Commission discussed the CRA administering a Pilot Program; however,
pursuant to CRA’s procurement process, competitive, formal, sealed bids
or proposals must be obtained when the CRA desires to acquire goods or
services over $25,000. In this instance, the amount expended on the Pilot
Program service will likely be over $25,000, thus the CRA must seek
competitive bids.
CRA, City and DDA staff have also met to discuss options to address the
Community’s short term and long-term transportation needs. At the
October 9th City Commission workshop, the Commission will be

discussing the purchasing procedures as a result of the referenced RFP.
FY 2018-19 ILA for Transportation Services
The CRA’s FY 2018-19 Budget includes $975,000 for Transportation
Services, administered by the City. The attached Interlocal Agreement (ILA)
between the CRA and the City is structured in a manner to provide flexibility
on the utilization of the funding for Transportation Services, whether it be a
Fixed Route, Point-to-Point, a Combination of Services, the implementation
of a Pilot Program, and/or other transportation opportunities. Pursuant to the
Agreement, the CRA reimburses the City for the actual amount expended
for the Transportation Services for the amount budgeted each Fiscal Year .
Payments are made to the City after receipt of the quarterly reports and
documentation of actual expenditures. Approval of the ILA is recommended
at this time. If desired by the Board, once the utilization of the funds is
further clarified, an amendment could be presented the Board for
consideration.
