Summary Explanation and Background:
The Space Coast Transportation Planning Organization (T.P.O.) is the designated metropolitan planning organization for the Palm Bay-Melbourne and Titusville urbanized area. The TPO is desirous of obtaining certain services from the County to assist the T.P.O. staff in managing the continuing, cooperative and comprehensive transportation planning process as mandated by State and Federal law. The County is desirous of obtaining certain transportation planning services from the T.P.O. to assist the County in managing its comprehensive transportation planning process.
The purpose of this Interlocal Agreement is to define the services to be provided by T.P.O. and the County and to establish the appropriate compensation, as agreed to by the parties. The County agrees to compensate the T.P.O. $60,000 annually for the services, as described in the Interlocal Agreement. The annual rate will be transferred to the T.P.O. as a lump sum payment in two installments of $30,000 each.
The term of this Agreement will become effective on October 1, 2020, or upon its filing with the Clerk of the Circuit Court of Brevard County, whichever date occurs second in time, and shall extend to and include September 30, 2025.

The T.P.O. must provide written notice to the County by July 1, 2025 of its intent to renew this Agreement for an additional five-year term. The Interlocal Agreement, recorded on September 20, 2010, and as amended, will be terminated upon this Agreement becoming effective. The T.P.O. Board will consider this Interlocal Agreement for approval at their September 10, 2020 meeting.
The County will continue to provide the T.P.O. with office space suitable to conduct the T.P.O.’s business, subject to the terms and conditions of a separate lease agreement between the County and the T.P.O. Pursuant to the Written Notice of Contract Renewal (Second Renewal), the Lease Agreement previously entered into by and between the County and the T.P.O. was renewed on July 21, 2020 for an additional period of five years, from October 1, 2020 until September 30, 2025.
