ITEM BACKGROUND: Since 2012, the County's transportation planning functions have been funded under a Joint Participation Agreement(JPA)with the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT). The current JPA (G1A71) funds the transportation planning functions at$300,000/FY ($1,200,000 in total)with a12.5% County match.

The County's match for this contract is 12.5% ($75.000). Funding is used for transportation planning staff position(s) and for a transportation engineering consultant. The county uses this contract for transportation concurrency review, traffic engineering support, the biennial US 1 Arterial Travel Time and Delay Study, and to perform miscellaneous transportation planning studies. Additionally, funding is utilized for consultants to provide assistance for private development review; maintenance and updates to the long-range transportation plans, comprehensive plan and/or land development code, as necessary.

Supporting documentation shall be submitted for each amount for which reimbursement is being claimed indicating that CN the item has been paid. Documentation for each amount for which reimbursement is being claimed must indicate that the item has been paid. Check numbers may be provided in lieu of copies of actual checks. Each piece of documentation should clearly reflect the dates of service. Only expenditures for categories in the approved agreement budget may be reimbursed. These expenditures must be allowable (pursuant to law) and directly related to the services being provided. Listed below are types and examples of supporting documentation for cost reimbursement agreements: Salaries: Timesheets that support the hours worked on the project or activity must be kept. A payroll register, or similar documentation should be maintained. The payroll register should show gross salary charges, fringe benefits, other deductions and net pay. If an individual for whom reimbursement is being claimed is paid by the hour, a document reflecting the hours worked times the rate of pay will be acceptable. Fringe benefits: Fringe benefits should be supported by invoices showing the amount paid on behalf of the employee, e.g., insurance premiums paid. If the contract specifically states that fringe benefits will be based on a specified percentage rather than the actual W cost of fringe benefits, then the calculation for the fringe benefits amount must be shown. Exception: Governmental entities are not required to provide check numbers or copies of checks for fringe benefits. Travel: Reimbursement for travel must be in accordance with s. 112.061, F.S., which includes submission of the claim on the approved state travel voucher along with supporting receipts and invoices. Other direct costs: Reimbursement will be made based on paid invoices/receipts and proof of payment processing (cancelled/processed checks and bank statements). If nonexpendable property is purchased using state funds, the contract should include a provision for the transfer of the property to the State when services are terminated. Documentation must be provided to show compliance with DMS Rule 60A-1.017, F.A.C., regarding the requirements for contracts which include services and that provide for the contractor to purchase tangible personal property as defined in s. 273.02, F.S., for subsequent transfer to the State. Indirect costs: If the contract stipulates that indirect costs will be paid based on a specified rate, then the calculation should be shown. Indirect costs must be in the approved agreement budget and the entity must be able to demonstrate that the costs are not duplicated elsewhere as direct costs. All indirect cost rates must be evaluated for reasonableness and for allowability and must be allocated consistently.
