BACKGROUND:
At the September 26, 2023, City Council Meeting, the City Council directed staff to conduct further research on how other municipalities implemented golf cart operations in their city.
Staff reached out to nearby coastal municipalities, Cape Canaveral being one. Upon review of the Kimley-Horn Proposal for Professional Services for City of Cape Canaveral Golf Cart Study, staff felt it captured Council's objectives. The city has a current Continuing Services Agreement (CSA) with Kimley-Horn so staff reached out to them and requested a similar outlined Task Order.
The overall objective of the Cocoa Golf Cart Study (the "Project") is to evaluate the roadways within the City of Cocoa to determine the feasibility of and limits of the paved roadways that are suitable for golf cart use.
The study will focus on the following areas of the City:
? Cocoa Village
? Cocoa North
? Indian River Drive
? Diamond Square
The study will also evaluate the suitability for golf cart crossing at three intersections with state roads, to be determined in conjunction with the City.
The cost for this effort is $34,900. Staff is requesting direction whether to proceed with the Kimley-Horn Golf Cart Study Task Order as well as funding source(s).
