BACKGROUND & ANALYSTS: As per the City's adopted Traffic Management Plan for the Mango Terrace Neighborhood, the City of South Miami issued a formal request to Miami -Dade County Traffic Engineering Division to begin implementing the initial phase of the plan which is to install 25 MPH speed limit signs as shown in the attached Figure No. 5., as well as citywide per attached Exhibit A. As the agency having full jurisdiction over traffic operations throughout the City, the Miami -Dade County Traffic Engineering Division provided the City with a final draft of an "Intergovernmental Agency Agreement to Perform Traffic Engineering Functions ". This agreement identifies speed limit reduction signs and lists traffic calming devices specifically approved by Miami -Dade County for the City to install and maintain. REASON/NEED: By allowing for the execution of the above referenced agreement, the City will have fulfilled the requirement of the Miami -Dade County Traffic Engineering Division to move forward in implementing the City's adopted Mango Terrace Traffic Management Plan in accordance with the terms and conditions of the agreement. The City will need to incur costs for purchasing and installing all proposed- 25 MPH speed limit signs citywide (approx. 123 speed limit signs). The cost to purchase each speed limit sign is approximately $200.00 for an estimated total of $25,000. However, once the agreement has been executed, the City plans to purchase and install (12) 25 MPH speed limits signs for use within the Mango Terrace neighborhood area and then continue citywide as funding becomes available.
