WHEREAS, the Final Design, which was completed by FDOT in 2007, identified certain physical improvements to be completed for the System, such as roadway and similar physical improvements; and WHEREAS, the City of Altamonte Springs has commenced construction of those physical improvements; thus, construction of portions of the FlexBus infrastructure have advanced past the planning phase and are now under construction; WHEREAS, to now complete the FlexBus Transit System will require funding and final design of the technical components of the FlexBus Transit System (the "Technical Component") which would include additional hardware and software to supplement that set forth above, engaging a contractor to update the Final Design documents, as well the acquisition of the actual buses for said system (all of which funding is referred to as the "Additional Funding"); WHEREAS, LYNX will serve as the lead agency in this initiative to acquire the Additional Funding, drawing upon its mission to provide linkages between major activity centers, and now transit points, for its riders; and WHEREAS, Casselberry has expressed an interest in joining LYNX and Altamonte Springs in the initial FlexBus deployment. NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto agree as set forth below: 1. The Final Design of FlexBus requires review and update due to the passage of time since its completion. In that regard: a.

Attachment "A" lists the project managers at the time of execution of this memorandum, however these are subject to change upon the notification by one party to all other parties to this agreement. b. LYNX, Altamonte Springs, and Casselberry will work collaboratively to have the Final Design documents, (which were completed by TranSystems in April 2007), updated in order to prepare for the deployment of FlexBus service. In that regard: I. The scope of services for the update of the Final Design documents will be developed by the parties to this Memorandum prior to release. ii. A contractor will be chosen using an existing contract with one of the parties, or if the scope does not fit within an existing contract, a scope of services will be released to competitively procure contractor services to undertake updating the Final Design documents.
