WHEREAS, the St. Lucie County Board of County Commissioners has made the
following determinations:
1. On April 21, 2009, the Board adopted Ordinance No. 09-008. The Board
determined that a state of local economic emergency exists which necessitates a local
economic stimulus program.
2. On April 28, 2009, the Board adopted Resolution No. 09-119, which provided
for a list of local economic stimulus projects. The list includes the State Attorney's
Office A/C Maintenance pro ject.
3. The estimated cost of the pro ject is four hundred and twenty-five thousand
dollars ($425,000.00) and time to complete the pro ject is four to six months.
4. Based on the publication Estimates of Job Creation From The American
Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, published by the U.S. Council of Economic
Advisors, the number of job years directly and indirectly created by the pro ject is
approximately 2.96 and the number of induced job years created by the pro ject is
approximately 1.66. A job year is defined as employment in one job for one year. Direct
jobs are jobs created in the actual government-sponsored project. Indirect jobs are jobs
created at suppliers who make materials used in the pro ject. Induced jabs are jobs
created elsewhere in the economy as increased income from the direct government
spending lead to additional increases in spending by workers and firms.
5. Unless waived, the Contractor would be required to hire a minimum of 75%
local laborers and subcontractors and purchase materials from 75% local vendors.
6. Based on the above, the Board has determined that the State Attorney's
Office A/C Maintenance project will provide a significant local economic stimulus.
