FUTURE_ROUTE_ALIGNMENTS.pdf

This file is a planning document for the Homestead Circulator Transit System in Florida, depicting three proposed route alignments—Western Route, Central Route, and Eastern Route—for the City's transit expansion. The document visually presents the potential future system configuration as part of RFP# 202708, which solicits qualified transit service providers to operate and maintain the City's circulator transit system. The selected contractor will be responsible for delivering safe, efficient, reliable, and cost-effective fixed-route transit services in accordance with performance standards and applicable state and federal regulations. Beyond the existing trolley system, the City may elect to expand or modify the circulator program during the contract term to include additional trolley routes, on-demand services, micro-transit, shuttle operations, or other future transit services to meet evolving community mobility needs.

The contractor must comply with all applicable requirements of the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) and the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT), including rules, regulations, grant conditions, and reporting requirements associated with federal or state funding. The City must ensure compliance with 2 CFR 200, Title 23, and 23 CFR to remain eligible for reimbursement under the Public Assistance Program. In accordance with 2 C.F.R. 200.321, the City shall take affirmative steps to ensure small and minority businesses, women's business enterprises, and labor surplus area firms are used when possible. The contractor must also comply with System Safety Oversight (SSO) requirements in accordance with FDOT and FTA regulations, including Rule Chapter 14-90, Florida Administrative Code.
