Scope of Services
The City of Miami Beach is considering the development of a TDP in an effort to justify their
fair share of funding through the MPO. Currently, there is a Dade County model that is used
to forecast future traffic County-wide. The model, which is a FSUTMS model, contains several
roads and bridges within the City but it is not deemed adequate from the City's perspective
because it does not include all the roads for which the City is responsible for maintaining
acceptable levels of service. Thus, the City is seeking to refine the County's model by creating
smaller analysis zones and adding roadways of concern to Miami Beach and not currently
included in the County model. The City will determine the horizon year for the model and may
elect to have a "build-out" model run conducted. Once the model is modified, it needs to be
validated for City use. Then, a plan for accommodating future traffic, including appropriate
funding mechanisms will need to be developed. Existing improvement plans for Dade County,
FDOT and other local jurisdictions should be considered when developing the City's
improvement program. The following is a general outline of the tasks which need to be
undertaken-in the TDP.
I. Obtain Existing Data.
a. Dade County FSUTMS Model
b. Miami Beach Traffic Circulation Element (currently in draft)
c. Miami Beach S/E data required for modeling (single and multi family dwelling
units, population, vacancies, % by 0, 1, and 2+ autos, hotel/motel rooms-
occupancy, commercial employees, service employees, industrial employees,
student population, average income)
d. Existing traffic counts - machine and turning movement
e. Other as necessary and available
II. Supplement existing data as necessary.
III. Identify network for inclusion in model.
a. Review Traffic Circulation Element
b. Meet with City staff
IV. Establish service volumes and level of service (LOS)
a. Develop existing and 'projected service volumes using most current FDOT
methodology
b. In cooperation with City officials, establish LOS standards that will be used in the
evaluation of roadway needs
V. Forecast travel demands.
a. Refine zonal structure
b. • Model validation
c. Establish mode split for model
d. Run existing plus committed network
•
e. Identify deficiencies
f. Run up to 3 networks (including build-out). The City may elect to provide
interim year S/E data so the consultant can perform an interim year model run.
VI. Transportation Plan Development
a. Develop final network
b. Develop revenue projections
c. Identify transit improvements
d. Produce cost estimates for roadway and transit improvement needs
e. Recommend project phasing
f. Identify new funding required to implement plan
VII. Produce Technical Report
VIII. Meetings
a. Approximately up to 6 meetings with City staff
b. Approximately up to 2 meetings with the MPO
c. Approximately up to 2 meetings with Dade County
d. Approximately up to 2 public meetings

• COMMISSION MEMORANDUM NO. fAaL93
TO: Mayor Seymour Gelber and DATE: November 17, 1993
Members of the City Commission
FROM: Roger M. Car1444.6A,L_
City Manager
SUBJECT: A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE SUBMISSION OF A GRANT
APPLICATION OF UP TO$140,000 TO THE METROPOLITAN PLANNING
ORGANIZATION (MPO) FOR THE 1994 MUNICIPAL FUNDING
PROGRAM FOR TRANSPORTATION PLANNING PURPOSES.
ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION:
The Administration recommends adoption of the attached Resolution which authorizes
submission of a grant application for up to $140,000 to the Metropolitan Planning
Organization (MPO) for the 1994 Municipal Funding Program, in order to continue
transportation planning program, and activities in the City of Miami Beach.
BACKGROUND:
On January 5, 1993, the City entered into a Memorandum of Agreement with the Metro-
Dade Metropolitan Planning Organization in the amount of $39,501 for transportation
planning purposes. This grant provides the funding necessary for the City's Transportation
Coordinator position and related expenses. The City has successfully complied with the
terms of this Agreement and in order to continue our activities it is essential that we apply
for the next allocation of MPO funds.
On October 26, 1993, Transportation Planning Council (TPC) of the MPO for the Miami
Urbanized Area assigned a new application deadline for the fiscal year 1994 Municipal
• Funding Program. Applications must be received by November 30, 1993 from municipalities
desirous of participating in the program. These funds will be programmed for the nine
month period of January 1994 through September 30, 1994. Municipalities currently
receiving funds have been advised that the FY 93 program will close on December 31, 1993.
ANALYSIS:
As in the previous year, the Administration proposes that this program be the primary
funding source for the City's Transportation Coordinator position. This is a matching grant,
requiring a 20%local match. The Administration also proposes this year that this program
be tapped for the costs of preparing a comprehensive Transportation Development Program
(TDP). The TDP would, once in place, establish transportation funding priorities for the
City and would make it easier to obtain other funds from federal, state and county sources.
