Summary Explanation and Background
SUMMARY EXPLANATION AND BACKGROUND:
1. On December 16, 2020, the City of Pembroke Pines Commission passed Resolution 3727 (Prop 2020-R-52), which endorsed the recommendations of the Pembroke Pines Mobility Hub Master Plan and supported the MPO’s efforts to prepare the recommended capital improvements for Federal Transit Administration (FTA) funding. Exhibit A of resolution 3727 includes additional details of the Mobility Hub Master Plan (attached). The master plan identifies capital improvements to facilitate better connectivity to transit and multimodal transportation in and around City Center, including pedestrian crosswalks, bus shelters, pedestrian lighting and a multiuse path.
2. On July 26, 2024, the Broward MPO submitted to FTA an amendment to the existing Capital Mobility Hub Grant Agreement Number FL-2020-012-01 for the Pembroke Pines Mobility Hub Project in the amount of $2,624,000 of FTA grant funding. The City of Pembroke Pines City Commission adopted Resolution 2024-R-27 on August 21, 2024, approving and adopting the Triparty Agreement for the Project.
3. The Metropolitan Transportation Engineering & Construction Cooperative (MTECC) adopted Resolution 2024-05 at its meeting on September 9, 2024, authorizing the MTECC Chair to execute the Triparty Agreement for the Project. The Broward Metropolitan Planning Organization (BMPO) approved and executed the Triparty Agreement at its meeting on September 12, 2024.
4. In late 2024, MTECC began work on the project, including updating the preliminary planning-level cost estimates from the 2020 Pembroke Pines Mobility Hub Master Plan. The updated MTECC Engineer’s Cost Estimate required removing the pedestrian scale lighting for the new shared-use path from the base bid due to inflation and cost escalation. To avoid moving the pedestrian lighting which is important for safety and security of the project to be a bid option, the BMPO completed a comprehensive analysis to identify cost savings from other FTA grants.
5. The BMPO identified FTA Grant (No. FL-2016-028) to have cost savings in the amount of $247,752 and requested FTA to repurpose these funds for the funding gap for the pedestrian scale lighting in the Pembroke Pines Mobility Hub project’s base bid. The BMPO submitted a Budget Revision to FTA on February 25, 2025, to request the $247,752 be used for the pedestrian scale lighting for the Pembroke Pines Mobility Hub.
6. On March 5, 2025, the Budget Revision for the Federal Award was approved by the FTA. Following the approval of this Amendment, the BMPO will be positioned to add $247,752 to the Pembroke Pines Mobility Hub project’s grant budget.
7. Request City Commission adopt proposed Resolution No. 2025-R-14.
