Indian River County MPO Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) Meeting · 2026-05-29 · agenda_item

The Indian River County MPO Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) is reviewing a proposed Scope of Services for General Planning Consultants (GPCs). This scope outlines transportation planning tasks that GPCs may perform, including public involvement, long and short-range transportation planning, transit planning, non-motorized transportation planning, and special project planning. The MPO plans to solicit new GPCs this summer, with contracts expected to last three years, potentially extendable for two more. This process is currently under review, with staff recommending approval of the Scope of Services to begin the selection process. The work will involve various planning activities, and the MPO will issue work orders to selected GPCs. Local businesses in engineering, architecture, and professional consulting services could find opportunities by engaging with the MPO early in this selection process, before specific work orders and procurement details are finalized. This early engagement allows firms to understand the MPO's needs and potentially compete for future planning tasks.
