TITLECommunity Transportation Coordinator (CTC) Recommendation

BRIEF OVERVIEWPursuant to Rule 41-2, FAC, and Chapter 427, F.S., the Transportation Disadvantaged Local Coordinating Board and the MPO shall review and recommend to the Commission for the Transportation Disadvantaged (CTD) a Community Transportation Coordinator (CTC).

A Request for Proposals was issued and three firms responded: McDonald Transit, Incorporated; Mid-Florida Community Services, Incorporated; and MV Transportation, Incorporated. On March 11, 2013, the Selection Evaluation Committee reviewed, ranked, and recommended Mid-Florida Community Services, Incorporated as the Community Transportation Coordinator (CTC) for Hernando County. On April 10, 2013, the TDLCB reviewed and approved the recommendation of the Committee to select Mid-Florida Community Services, Incorporated.

As the contractual administration for the provision of Transportation Disadvantaged (TD) services is made via a standard form provided by the CTD called a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) between the CTD and the CTC, the MOA must be approved by the TDLCB Board prior to its execution by the CTD. A copy of the MOA is attached. Additionally, a resolution (2013-05) has been prepared for the MPO's approval and the Chairman's execution.

FINANCIAL IMPACTThere is no financial impact to the County budget associated with this item.

LEGAL NOTE

The MPO has the authority to review and act upon this matter pursuant to Rule 41-2. F.A.C. and Chapter 427 F.S.

RECOMMENDATION

It is recommended that the MPO recommend to the Commission for the Transportation Disadvantaged the selection of Mid-Florida Community Services, Incorporated as the Community Transportation Coordinator for Hernando County, and authorize the Chairman's signature upon MPO Resolution 2013-05.
