TITLE: Approve Acceptance of the Federally Funded Community Development Block Grant Mitigation Program Subrecipient Agreement in the Amount of $650,440 to be Used for Utilities Bypass Pumps Project
Recommended Action
Approve acceptance of the Federally Funded Community Development Block Grant Mitigation Program Subrecipient Agreement in the amount of $650,440 to be used for Utilities Bypass Pumps Project.
Background Information
In June 2020, City staff applied to the Community Development Block Grant Disaster Relief Program (CDBG-DR) for the Utilities Inflow and Infiltration project. The CDBG-DR program, administered in Florida by the Florida Department of Economic Opportunity (FDEO), provides housing, infrastructure, and economic revitalization assistance to disaster impacted low to moderate income areas. The project will improve the resiliency of the sanitary sewer system to the low to moderate income households by reducing sanitary sewer overflows during heavy rains by installing emergency bypass pumps on eight lift stations:
• Lift Station 23 at 6142 Bolander Terrace
• Lift Station 25 at 5810 Kenwood Drive
• Lift Station 30 at 5033 Kingsley Road
• Lift Station 37 at 7503 Mayland Street
• Lift Station 38 at 7539 Wexford Street
• Lift Station 39 at 14809 South Tamiami Trail
• Lift Station 43 at 5725 Greenwood Avenue
• Lift Station 63 at 4028 Fairway Drive
The cost of the project, which includes federal construction oversight, is expected to be $650,440. The project will be complete within four years.
In summer of 2021, FDEO staff contacted the City to inform us that the CDBG-DR grant would be transferred over to the Community Development Block Grant Mitigation Program (CDBG-MIT) to allow more flexibly with construction timelines. The CDBG-MIT program provides similar post disaster benefits to low to moderate income households.
The grant contract has been reviewed for legal form and correctness.
