The Broward MPO is a legally independent government entity distinct from the City and is authorized pursuant to Sections 339.175(6)(g) and 163.01, Florida Statutes, and has the authority to contract with the City for the provision of certain services to accomplish its metropolitan planning and programing duties and administrative functions. The Broward MPO has expertise in metropolitan planning, land use analysis, transportation/transit studies, public outreach and engagement, and submitting for and obtaining transportation/transit related grants including the associated grant administration.
The City is seeking the Broward MPO’s expertise required to perform these services and necessary intergovernmental coordination between jurisdictions within the parameters specified in an Interlocal Agreement (ILA).
