PROJECT: N/A
PURPOSE:
The Board and the Central Florida Regional Transportation Authority (LYNX) completed a memorandum of agreement for cooperatively executing the next phase of the International Drive Transit Feasibility and Technology Assessment Study (TFATA II) in March 2024. The memorandum outlined the basic terms of the in-kind and reimbursable services needed for this purpose.
Orange County and LYNX have subsequently completed a related scope of services allowing for improved project definition including refined project terms, details of the invoice and payment processing and delivery of notifications between the entities. The memorandum of agreement and follow-up interlocal agreement document the intentions of both parties to cooperate by implementing a sustainable premium transit system along International Drive from Sea Harbor Drive to Sand Lake Road, including parts of Sea Harbor Drive and Destination Parkway. Orange County will fund the project’s preliminary design contract through the Public Works Capital Improvement Program fund while LYNX will provide procurement, management of professional services to address the National Environmental Policy Act criteria, and preliminary design for the project.
The County Attorney’s Office, Risk Management Division, Public Works Senior Staff, and the Transportation Planning Division have reviewed this Agreement and find it acceptable. The LYNX board reviewed and authorized the updated agreement on October 24, 2024, at their regular board meeting.
