Item Summary/Recommendation:
The Agreement (Attachment) allows the Florida Department of Transportation (FOOT) to install and
maintain a Global Positioning System (GPS) Reference Station, for the purpose of collecting geodetic GPS
data, at the Tennis Center Building in Flamingo Park.
FOOT maintains and operates a Florida Permanent Reference Network throughout the State of Florida.

compatible with the City's high-precision GPS Rover Receiver unit. There is no cost for use of FOOT GPS
Reference Stations, and is available to governmental agencies, private companies, and the public.
The placement of a GPS Reference Station within the City will result in a more reliable and accurate signal,
which is needed for the City's existing high-precision GPS Rover Receiver unit. The GPS Rover Receiver
unit is currently utilized by the Public Works Engineering Division's surveyors, for the collection of high-
precision data. The collected and stored high-precision GPS data sets are utilized for in-house surveys
and designs, recording of buried utilities, and for the creation of GIS maps.
At this time, the City subscribes to a private service to obtain the needed accuracy for its GPS Rover
Receiver unit for a monthly cost of $150. This service would no longer be needed if FOOT installs this
station at the Tennis Center.

the Tennis Center Building is capable of supporting DSL Service required for the GPS
Reference Station. The IT Systems Department also has indicated that it does not foresee any
interference between the City's IT systems and FOOT GPS Reference Station, as the station
will not transmit signals over the air. The station will only receive signals over the air while
transmitting via DSL.
The GPS Reference Station and DSL service will be installed at the expense of FOOT. The
maintenance, repair, and replacement costs of the GPS Reference Station and DSL service will
be the FOOT's responsibility.
At this time, the City subscribes to a private service to obtain the needed accuracy for its GPS
Rover Receiver unit for a monthly cost of $150. This service would no longer be needed if
FOOT installs this station at the Tennis Center.
CONCLUSION
The Administration recommends that the Mayor and City Commission adopt the resolution.
