On October 3, 2000, the BOCC granted permission to apply for grant funds for maj or improvements to the Civic Center Special Needs Shel ter. The two Civic Center applications will be for funds to replace the roof on the civic Center and to purchase and install a generator, ADA bathrooms, hurricane shutters for the Road Department Operations Building and engineer a way to eliminate flooding of the Civic Center parking lot. The four additional applications staff recommend submitting include: funds to develop a Wildfire Mitigation Plan, funds for drainage/road improvements in Indian River Estates, funds to train a Community Emergency Response Team (CERT), and funds for 150 portable stalls to house horses during a disaster at the new Fairgrounds. The applications will be submitted by December 18, 2000 and will be funded in 2000-2001 and/or 2001-2092. Matching funds are available for the improvements to the Civic Center Special Needs Shelter from the Leisure Services Operating Budget 001-7510-564000-700 for $11,000 and $29,000 to remodel bathrooms from the Central Services funds 315 or 316. The match for the portable stalls will be the cost of the Fairgrounds building constructed with Parks Impact Fees, County Capital Funds and General Fund (see attached). The Fire Department will provide an in-kind match of staff time to train citizens that volunteer for the CERT program. The Indian River Estates drainage improvement application will be matched with some of the work already completed this year on the project and funds that are already allocated for road millings. Board approved submitting applications for the Civic Center Special Needs Shelter, shutters for the Road Department Operations Building, and portable stalls for the Fairgrounds on October 3, 2000.

ANDEr-SON Joseph F. Myers, Director Department of Community Affairs Division of Emergency Management 2555 Shumard Oak Boulevard Tallahassee, Florida 32399-2199 Dear Mr. Myers: Please accept this grant application for the following St. Lucie County Priority Projects. Through analysis of the County's most important projects on the Local Mitigation Strategy Prioritized List, staff requests $193,800 in Trust Funds to: · Purchase and install hurricane shutters for two traffic operations buildings housing County staff; · Purchase and install a 500kW generator for the Special Needs Shelter; · Remodel restrooms for ADA at Special Needs Shelter; and · Contract an engineering finn to design engineering plans to alleviate flooding·at the Special Needs Shelter parking area. After two very close calls with hurricanes, the County's goal is to ensure that our special needs residents have a safe place to stay when they are forced to evacuate from their homes. By providing a generator, special needs citizens, county staff and local emergency staffwill benefit immensely when a generator is installed for use at the Special Needs Shelter. The County has a $48,000 match for this grant that includes in-kind services of $9,000 for project management and construction of the generator enclosure. ~ Since the County realizes that these items need to be completed to prepare for next year's hurricane season, we are committed to completing the generator installation before hurricane season. Retrofit of the restrooms and the parking lot stonnwater retrofit engineering design may take one year to complete. Although quotes have been submitted for the generator and hurricane shutters, the County will have to enter into a fonnal RFPlbid process to ensure that all contractors have an opportunity to bid on the projects. As requested in the directions, St. Lucie County will provide the following assurances: that only those entities identified in the application are involved in the proposed project; that the application is made without collusion with any other entity submitting an application; that the application is, in all respects, fair and in good faith, without fraud or collusion; and that the signer ofthe application has full authority to bind the applicant and all other involved parties.

Clearly identify a demonstrated state or local emergency management need and explain how this project will address it. If applicable, identify which emergency management priority, as identified in the Notice of Fund Availability, the project address. Clearly link the project to the priority. ~ The goal of this grant application is to continue upgrading St. Lucie County's primary Special Needs Shelter and to add Hurricane Shutters to St. Lucie County's Traffic Operations Buildings. If this grant application is funded, the two proposed projects will promote and facilitate all aspects of Evacuation, Sheltèring, and Special Needs Populations and will achieve the intent as set forth in the most recently adopted version of Section 252.385, Florida Statutes (Priority A). Installation of hurricane shutters to these two buildings is identified as Projects 29 and 31 on the County's Local Mitigation Strategy Prioritized Project List. Funding the Hurricane Shutter project will fulfill Notice of Fund Availability Priority Area B since it assists in the implementation of our LMS Prioritized Project List. Funding the Hurricane Generator for the Special Needs Shelter project will also fulfill Notice of Fund Availability Priority Area B since it assists in the implementation of our Local Mitigation Strategy Prioritized Project List Project 62 - Acquisition of Emergency Generators and Pumps. '-' A. Hurricane Shutters - $5,300: St. Lucie County Emergency Management and Road & Bridge staff determined that the following project is needed to minimize chaos during a severe weather event. To protect the functioning of the county's traffic signals, hurricane shutters should be purchased and installed to the Traffic Operations and Road & Bridge . Office buildings. One of the two buildings proposed for the installation of hurricane shutters house the County's radio dispatch center for both the truck and hand held units for the entire division. By installing the shutters, the dispatch staff responsible for reporting information to the emergency crews will also be protected fTom hurricane force winds ensuring that two-way communication will not be disrupted. The shutters for the second Traffic Operations building will protect the employees working the disaster inside the building and protect the critical computer system responsible for controlling the County's traffic signals. The Traffic OPS Building further contains equipment, which operates the signal timing of the traffic lights and the software for all of the programs. If the shutters are not put in place and this computer system is damaged, all the traffic signals will become inoperable and will cause extreme chaos throughout the County hindering the evacuation and recovery process. By protecting this equipment, the County will be able to keep confusion at traffic lights to a minimum. In addition, the intersections within the county should continue to function in order to ensure public safety for the citizens, law enforcement, emergency personnel and County personnel that are trying to make the roadways passable. If the County would be required to replace this critical equipment due to damage fTom a hurricane event; the cost for both new equipment and the installation would far outweigh the cost of installing protective storm shutters. Without the radio center, communication ~ 1 '-" between the emergency personnel at the Road & Bridge Division and the other County support service would amount to face-to-face meetings thereby, cutting the operations communication in half while increasing the amount of time per operation. This would seriously slow the recovery process if the County had to order a new traffic signal computer system and/or radio dispatch system and wait a for several weeks to get it. If these buildings were kept secure with shutters, all 180,000 citizens of this county would benefit from it. The law enforcement and emergency personnel could focus their time on major problems instead of directing traffic due to signal problems caused by damage to the primary traffic control computer system. Shutters would be the most economical way of protecting this equipment. Both the radio center and the traffic control computers are already housed in concrete block buildings and short of building bunkers for their protection this is the most effective means to ensure the safety of the equipment and the employees working the disaster events. '-' At the present time, there are no funds in the County budget to cover the cost of shutters. According to the bids from "Expert Shutter Services Inc.", only $5,300 will be required to secure both buildings with Dade County Approved Shutters. By installing shutters, the County can have confidence that the traffic control system should be able to withstand hUITicane force winds and thus continue to function throughout the storm. Previously, the County installed a back-up generator, which further ensures the operation of the traffic signalization during a storm. Thus, shutters would benefit the County through all phases of a storm from emergency preparedness, response, recovery and hazard mitigation. B. Special Needs Shelter Emergency Generator and other safety improvements: In addition to purchasing hurricane shutters for the County's Traffic Operation buildings, St. Lucie County Emergency Management team identified several safety improvements for the County Special Needs Shelter. The primary need for the Shelter is to install a 500KW gas generator system strong enough to run air conditioning, lights, and electrical outlets for oxygen tanks and life-sustaining equipment. Additional improvements proposed to the Special Needs Shelter include enlarging the bathrooms to accommodate Americans with disabilities, adding a wheel chair lift, and for funds for permitting and engineering to alleviate flooding to the shelter's parking lot. St. Lucie County staff and emergency management personnel have determined that the County's Civic Center's Special Needs Shelter could hold 400 of the 634 registered special needs citizens in the county. The newer Port St. Lucie shelter can hold up to 200 special needs individuals from southern St. Lucie County. Since many of the special needs residents require uninterrupted connections to electrical plugs for oxygen tanks, the current generator is inadequate since the entire County Administration complex is connected to it only leaving enough power for four 220 plugs and one 110 plug at the Special Needs Shelter. In addition, the air conditioning cannot run and the lights automatically dim due to the lack of power from the existing Administration Complex generator which is not acceptable when the shelter is supposed to provide refuge for 400 special needs residents. \.- 2 ~ Since the County recently equipped the Civic Center Special Needs Shelter with hurricane shutters over the doors for $28,000, the next most essential item is the purchase of a generator to run the air conditioning unit, essential medical equipment, the kitchen and additional electrical outlets. Since it is very probable that an electricity outage could occur at this shelter 'even during a Category 1 stonn, it is essential that the generator be purchased to provide air conditioning and functioning electric outlets for our county's special need residents. Emergency managers are gravely concerned about losing power at the special needs shelter. If power was lost, the existing generator does not even run the air condition units and only a few power outlets. Many special needs evacuees would have to be rushed into an ambulance and carried to an overcrowded hospital. In the past, many of the special needs residents find a reason to go into the hospital because they know they will have electrical power for their medical devices. Thus, if we could provide a facility that could guarantee electricity, those special needs residents that only go to the hospital for electricity can be comfortable at the shelter. The hospital staff will benefit because they can save those beds for patients that come in with detrimental emergencies. Ambulance staff will benefit because they do not have to keep extra ambulances and extra paramedics at the shelter to rush electricity-needing evacuees to the hospital. '-' Since many ofthe caregivers bring their special needs patients to the shelter, it is essential for their health to provide a safe and secure parking area free of flooding. Unfortunately, this is not the case for the existing facility. The parking lot's original drainage system design has failed. Twenty years ago the County built their parking lot out of pervious surface, so the water would seep through it. The parking lot's pores clogged with sand and other debris converting the parking lot to an impervious surface. When it rains, it looks like a manmade concrete pond with tree islands. The County grant request is to fund an engineering finn to survey, design and perinit a drainage / retention system. The County will investigate future funding sources and Road and Bridge staff time to construct the drainage improvements to the parking lot. By providing better drainage to the parking lot, citizens utilizing the special needs shelter will not have to walk and/or slip through at least a foot of parking lot water. Once the nursing equipment and clothing are soaked from parking lot water, evacuees could catch a cold or aggravate their existing illness. Serious health problems could be prevented if we could resolve this major drainage and safety issue. The County has allocated the following funds in the Capital Improvement Plan for: · $28,000 to assist in remodeling bathrooms for ADA use; · $7,000 for a wheel chair lift; and · $4,000 for a new stove to prepare food or boil water in emergency events. The County recently invested $28,000 for strong hurricane doors. County staff time will also be available for project management and quality assurances. '-' 3 '-" Providing a safe special needs shelter and hurricane evacuation transportation routes are identified as goals and requirements of the following local and state statues rules or plan and attached to this section: · Florida Administrative Code 9J-5.012 Coastal Management Section (2)(e); · Florida Statues Chapter 163 .3178( d) Coastal Management; · Florida Statues Chapter 252.36 Emergency Management powers of the Governor; · State Comprehensive Plan Goal 7 and Policy 22 and 23; · County Comprehensive Land Use Plan Coastal Element Objectives 7.2.2and 7.2.3. Maintaining a safe Special Needs Shelter and protecting the Traffic Operations buildings for dispatch and emergency personal and traffic control computer systems is exactly the type of projects that promote and facilitate all aspects of Evacuation, Sheltering, and Special Needs Populations and will achieve the intent set forth in the most recently adopted version of Section 252.385, Florida Statutes. 2. Identify the immediate tangible emergency management benefits (short term projects, i.e. - 12 months or less in duration), or, reasonable expectation of long term emergency management benefits coupled with the availability of resources (other than this grant amount) to continue implementation of the project past the term of the award (long term projects, i.e. - duration of longer than 12 months). Also, identify the number of emergency management organizations or the targeted population area whose emergency manag~ment needs will be directly benefited by the project. \...- If the contracts are signed in April, 2001, the County should be able to hire a contractor through the Request For Proposal process. The contracted services could be completed by June of200l, the start of the hurricane season. Once shutters are installed, the immediate short-term benefits will be protection for the 2001 hurricane season. The long-term benefits of this project will be long-term protection for two Road and Bridge Operation Buildings that house the radio communication system, and signal control computer equipment and the staff that is responsible for making sure the disaster needs are met. '-" This will be an immediate tangible emergency management benefit that furthers state and local objectives to provide a safe special needs shelter. Once the emergency generator is connected to the electrical system at the Civic Center Special Needs Shelter, emergency managers will be relieved that the building is prepared for a power outage. This will benefit evacuees immediately for the 2001 hurricane season and for many years to come. The generator and associated electrical work will provide emergency power to the Civic Center through the existing electrical system and allow the center to function as if normal power were available. The automatic switch-gear, which is part of the electrical work funded through this grant, will automatically start the emergency generator system and provide power to the building. Furtlier, it will ensure sufficient power to support necessary medical equipment for those evacuees requiring special needs. With the County providing a new stove and a wheelchair lift and half of the funds for ADA restrooms, the shelter will be more comfortable for the evacuees during times of disaster. 4 '-' If the contracts are signed in April 2001, the County will hire a contractor through the Request For Proposal process and contract for the services to be complete by June of 2001. Once the generator is permanently installed and tied down to withstand hurricane force winds, it will provide long-term health and safety benefits to over 400 special needs citizens throughout the entire year. The Special Needs Shelter is available throughout the year to assist in sheltering citizens during hurricane season, wildfire season and other human disaster such as a fire at the local fertilizer plant or nuclear power accident. Thus, the long-term benefits of completing this very important purchase will ensure the maintenance of a safe refuge for St. Lucie County special needs citizens for many years. The long-range tangible emergency management benefits will occur once the new drainage system is constructed for the Civic Center Special Needs Shelter. This grant application proposes to hire an engineering firm to survey, design and permit drainage retrofits to the primary parking area for the Special Needs Shelter. The immediate tangible benefit that will occur by the grant completion deadline includes a permittable solution to this very bad drainage problem. Currently, the County does not have funds budgeted or engineering staff time available to assist in the design of the new retention system. Once design and permitting is complete, the county can identify funds to hire a local contractor or utilize Road & Bridge staff to complete the drainage retrofits by 2003. This option of fixing the problem completely will provide long-term benefits to the citizens utilizing the Special Needs Shelter by providing a parking lot without lake-sized puddles. '-" One of the most important short and long-term benefits that will occur from the improvements to the Special Needs Shelters is freeing up one of the Fire Department's ambulances. During past emergency events, an extra ambulance and additional paramedics stayed at the special needs shelter because they feared the electricity would go out and the special needs evacuees would have to be rushed to the hospital or treated on site. Thus, if the generator is purchased and installed before the 2001 hurricane season, extra emergency personal and their equipped vehicle will not have to be tied up at the shelter and can go out to the community where they may be needed most. There will always be a number of trained paramedics and at least one ambulance on site at the special needs shelter but the fear of losing electricity and its detrimental impacts will not occur once a generator is put in place thus allowing other paramedics to continue their rescue work in the community. The County has allocated the following funds in the Capital Improvement Plan for: $28,000 to assist in remodeling bathrooms for ADA use; $7,000 for a wheel chair lift; and $4,000 for a new stove to prepare food or boil water in emergency events. As stated earlier, the County recently invested $28,000 for strong hurricane doors. County staff time will also be available for project management and quality assurances and staffing for the special needs shelter and traffic operations building. '--' 5 3. Describe the project's consistency with the State Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan and any applicable local comprehensive emergency management plans. '-' Installing hurricane shutters on the Road and Bridge Operations Buildings is consistent with the purpose # 1 of the State Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 1998 because it will reduce the vulnerability of people and communities of this state to loss of life, injury, or damage by ensuring that the Traffic Operations Dispatch Center and Computers Controlling the Signals will not be damaged. By ensuring that these systems continue to function, loss of life and property will be minimized because people will be able to evacuate more safely with working traffic signals. By protecting the people and equipment in the dispatch center, road and bridge workers can be notified quickly to respond to remove debris in the road or in other areas to facilitate as smooth evacuation as possible. Installing the shutters is also consistent with purposes #2 and #3: prepare for prompt and efficient response and recovery activities to protect lives and property affected by emergencies; and respond to emergencies using all systems. '-" Upgrading the generator at the Special Needs Shelter is consistent with the State of Florida Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 1998 Emergency Support Function (ESF) 6 - Mass Care Section. Page 2 of ESF 6 states in the preparedness section "ESF 6 agencies will work with local government, and voluntary service delivery units.. . and other applicable agencies in activities related to surveying the feasibility and suitability of facilities to be used as shelters utilizing the following American Red Cross .publications as guidelines: "Mass Care: Preparedness and Operations; (ARC 3031 )," and "Guidelines for Hurricane Evacuation and shelter Selection; (ARC 4496)." The Mass Care Response Section identifies under letter h that the "ESF will coordinate with ESF 12 for priority service restoration to mass care sites and for the acquisition of supplemental power sources." As a result of the County's survey of this facility, the county is seeking grant funds to alleviate the primary problem areas, the generator ànd the flooding in the parking area. Improving the Special Needs Shelter is consistent with the County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan Emergency Support Function (ESF) 6 - Mass Care Section. Pages 6-5 and 6-6 identify that the County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan sheltering requirements. Letter c states, "all shelters should be managed in accordance with applicable ARC regulations and procedures, including the assignment of trained shelter managers at each shelter." Since the ARC guidelines recommend that alternative energy sources be provided at shelters, this grant application is consistent with this section in the County CEMP. '--' 6 4. Discuss why this particular method and approach was chosen. ~ Once of the primary methods to protect staff, dispatch radio and computer equipment inside a building from hurricane force winds is to install hurricane shutters to the exposed areas. This most effective method will be used to secure the Traffic Operation Buildings. The proposed Hurricane Shutters have been approved by Dade County and have a five- year warranty on parts and labor. The brochure from Expert Shutter Services, Inc. and the quotes for the two buildings are available for review if requested by the grant review board. Since the total cost to purchase and install the shutters to the two traffic operations building is $5,300, Road & Bridge staff determined that it is best to let the contractor install the shutters to ensure that the five-year guarantee remains in place. Since there is no other way to protect these windows with the exception of concreting them over, adding hurricane shutters is the most cost effective and reasonable method to use to protect the employees working the dispatch equipment and monitoring the County's traffic signalization system. County Administrative and Emergency Management staff determined after Hurricane Irene that the Special Needs Shelter must have its own back-up generator. This will prevent serious health problems in case of a long-term power outage to the special needs evacuees. Since this shelter's goal is to provide a safe refuge for county residents that have a special need, such as requiring electricity to run oxygen systems and other medical equipment, it is essential that a reliable energy source be provided for the shelter attendees. Thus, the only dependable method to ensure a constant electrical source is to purchase and install a 500KW generator. \....- If the grant review board requests bid information, the County will provide the quotes for the generator at $80,000.00 and for the electrical contractor to install the generator at $22,500.00. The County Central Services Department will match $4,000.00 of labor to build a concrete block wall and pad for the generator. Central Services will also be responsible for patching any concrete after the electrician installs the power lines between the generator and the building. Since this generator will automatically turn on when the power goes out, it will provide a constant source of electricity to the special need shelter attendees. The amount of physical and mental stress to the special need evacuees and emergency staff will be lessened since their medical equipment will not turn off when there is a power outage. Thus, this method of providing reliable power is the best way to solve the problem of undependable electricity during hurricane events. In addition, the County will match $28,000 for half of the construction costs to retrofit the restrooms to accommodate person with disabilities. County staff evaluated the situation and determined that it is best to retrofit the restrooms in the same location than building new restrooms completely. The County will purchase and install a $7000 wheel chair lift to assist in the movement of attendees. The County will also install a new $4,000 stove before hurricane season to ensure that there is a reliable appliance available fór food preparation during an evacuation event. \...- 7 '-' '-' \. County Administrative and Emergency Management staff also recognized during severe storm events that the parking area closest to the special needs shelter constantly floods and only looses water through evaporation. Although the Special Needs Shelter is not located in a flood zone, the parking lot floods since the pervious surface constructed twenty years ago does not drain due the accumulation of silt and sand. County staff estimates that retrofitting the parking lot is at least a two-year project since permit applications have to be engineered and submitted. To be able to complete the project within the grant's one-year time period, it was decided to seek funds to hire an engineering firm to evaluate potential methods to alleviate the problem. If an engineering design could be developed and a permit application submitted to the state, the county could begin solving this public safety problem. Once a permit is issued, the county could evaluate staff time and budget options to fix the parking lot within two years. Evaluating the various options and applying for a permit within one year is the best way to get this parking flooding problem resolved. Primarily the grant funds will be used to: · Purchase and install hurricane shutters for two traffic operations buildings responsible for staff and critical equimpment for $5,300; · Purchase a 500kW generator for the Special Needs Shelter for $80,000; · Install electrical wiring for 500kW generator for $22,500; · Retrofit restroom for ADA for 50% of project cost equals $28,000; and · Contract engineering firm for survey, plan and design parking lo.t retrofit for Special Needs Shelter $50,000. 5. Identify Applicant's project match. The County match for this project will include (see Tab M for Match): · The time of the Public Safety Manager as Project Director for $4,000; · The time of the Central Services staff to work with the generator installation contractors for $1,000; · The time of the Central Services Department to construct the slab and wall for the generator and other miscellaneous concrete work for $4,000; · The purchase and installation of a wheel chair lift for $7,000: · The purchase and installation of a stove for $4,000; and · Retrofit restrooms for ADA for 50% of project cost equals $28,000. The total match for this grant is $48,000 while the total grant request is $193,800. Although the County can not commit to a greater match at this time, the County can commit to having trained emergency staff and volunteers at the shelter during times of hurricane disasters. The County has also been actively improving the Special Needs Shelter with local funds by reinforcing the walls with beams and installing hurricane shutters to improve the safety conditions for the special need residents. County staff will oversee the contractors to ensure that the contract requirements are fulfilled and ensure that the final products can sustain hurricane winds. 8 6. Discuss the Applicant's experience and ability applied to the project. [Maximum score of 25 points) \....,/ The County has designated Mr. Jack T. Southard, Public Safety Director, as the project manager for this grant. The County has employed Mr. Southard for approximately 25 years. In his capacity with the County, Mr. Southard has been the director of9ll and from 1989 to the present he has headed the Public Safety Department. Mr. Southard oversees Emergency Management, E911 and the Marine Safety Division. Central Services staff, Gerald Flynn and Gerald Parenteau assist in the long-term maintenance of several county buildings. Gerald Flynn has 31 + experience in building maintenance. Whether he does the job himself or oversees it, Gerald can ensure that it is done right. He has worked with air conditioning, roofing, and retrofitting restrooms. Gerald Parenteau expertise is with generators and air condition units and will be available during the disasters to assist in any emergency mechanical situation. 7. Tiebreaker - Answer the following two questions: 1) Has the applicant's jurisdiction been impacted by an environmental clean-up initiative? If so, describe the initiative and its impact on the Applicant. \...- St. Lucie County has been impacted by two environmental clean-up initiatives. One was when the Lykes fertilizer plant had a spill. The Department of Environmental Protection was the responsible agency for cleaning up the site. They covered the area with dirt to soak up the spill and then disposed the dirt at an improved site. The second event was when Ft. Pierce Utilities Authority sewage treatment plant pipe broke in the Indian River Lagoon. The pipe that carries waste from the mainland to the plants location on the barrier island, broke and spilled sewage into the Indian River Lagoon. Since it washed out to area beaches, the beaches were closed until the clean-up process was completed.

ANDEr-SON December 14,2000 Joseph F. Myers, Director Department of Community Affairs Division of Emergency Management 2555 Shumard Oak Boulevard Tallahassee, Florida 32399-2199 Dear Mr. Myers: Please accept this grant application for the following St. Lucie County Priority Projects. Through analysis of the County's most important projects on the Local Mitigation Strategy Prioritized List, staff requests $289,149 in Trust Funds to reconstruct the roof at the County's largest Special Needs Shelter. After two very close calls with hurricanes, the County's goal is to ensure that our special needs residents have a safe place to stay when they are forced to evacuate from their homes. The building is over 25 years old and had some of the roof repaired after a 1976 hurricane. The County had contractors reinforce the structure with additional beams to withstand strong hurricane force winds only a few years ago. The roof has been patched but staff is concerned that it will not be strong enough to handle hurricane force winds and the weight of a large amount of rain. '-' Although quotes have been submitted for the roof reconstruction, the County will have to enter into a' fonnal RFPlbid process to ensure that all local contractors have an opportunity to bid on the projects. Gerald Flynn of the Central Services staff will assist in the management of this project since he has over thirty-one years of roofing and building maintenance experience. The goal is to complete this project in one year after the contract is signed with the state. St. Lucie County will provide the following assurances: that only those entities identified in the application are involved in the proposed project; that the application is made without collusion with any other entity submitting an application; that the application is, in all respects, fair and in good faith, without fraud or collusion; and that the signer of the application has full authority to bind the applicant and all other involved parties. I herby certify that these assurances are true and accurate and that the County is fully committed to completing this project within one year of the contract date. If you have any questions regarding this grant application, please contact Jack Southard, Public Safety Director at (561) 462-1736. St. Lucie County appreciates the opportunity to apply for funds to complete some ofthe 0 nty's highest priority projects. ~~~rson 0~1 Administrator c: Board of County Commissioners Jack Southard, Public Safety Director Roger Shinn, Central Services Director Ron Book, Esquire Robert Bradshaw, Asst.

If applicable, identify which emergency management priority, as identified in the Notice of Fund Availability, the project address. Clearly link the project to the priority. '-" The goal of this grant application is to replace the roof at S1. Lucie County's Special Needs Shelter. If this grant application is funded for a new roof, it will facilitate all aspects of evacuation, sheltering, and protection of Special Needs Populations. Thus, achieving the intent as set forth in the most recently adopted version of Section 252.385, Florida Statutes (Priority A). S1. Lucie County staff and emergency management personnel have determined that the County's Civic Center's Special Needs Shelter could hold 400 of the 634 registered special needs citizens in the county. The newer Port S1. Lucie shelter can hold up to 200 special needs individuals from southern S1.Lucie County. Although the County's long- range goal is to construct a new Special Needs Shelter at the new Fairgrounds on SR 70, it will be several years before funding is in place to build a hurricane safe structure. By the time County has funds to build it, the population increase of Port S1. Lucie will demand that we keep all three facilities open. \....- For that reason, grant funds will be used for one very important Capital Improvement Project improving the safety of largest special needs shelter. The goal is to replace the 39,340 square foot roof of the Special Needs Shelter (see attachment 1). Built in 1975, the Civic Center weathered its first hurricane in 1976 where part of the roof was tom by the strong winds. Since then, the roof has degraded over time. Although the county' could continue to patch the roof, the long-term benefits would be minimal. It is best to replace the entire roof with a much stronger version that could handle hurricane force winds. If the entire roof is replaced, the County and its residents will be able to benefit for at least twenty -years compared to just minor repairs. Attachment 2 are photographs that depict recurring problems on the roof including: · Open seams in expansion joints; · Coping caps joints wide open; and · Roof blisters are spread throughout the roof surface. The County recently equipped the Civic Center Special Needs Shelter with hurricane shutters over the doors for $8,730 and reinforced the shelter's walls with beams to withstand Category 3 Hurricanes. In 1998 and 1999, $68,580 of County funds were used toward reinforcing the walls. Although there is no direct match for this roof replacement project, County staff time will be available for project management and quality assurances. A contractor will be hired through the Request for Proposals process, and County Central Services staff will be responsible for managing the contractor's work quality thus ensuring that the end product is correctly completed. ...... 1 ~ Providing a safe special needs shelter is a goal and requirements of the following local and state statues rules or plan: · Florida Administrative Code 9J-5.012 Coastal Management Section (2)(e); · Florida Statues Chapter 163 .3178( d) Coastal Management; · Florida Statues Chapter 252.36 Emergency Management powers of the Governor; · State Comprehensive Plan Goal 7 and Policy 22 and 23; · County Comprehensive Land Use Plan Coastal Element Objectives 7.2.2and 7.2.3. Maintaining a safe Special Needs Shelter is exactly the type of project that promotes and facilitates all aspects of Evacuation, Sheltering, and Special Needs Populations and will achieve the intent set forth in the most recently adopted version of Section 252.385, Florida Statutes. 2. Identify the immediate tangible emergency management benefits (short term projects, i.e. - 12 months or less in duration), or, reasonable expectation of long term emergency management benefits coupled with the availability of resources (other than this grant amount) to continue implementation of the project past the term of the award (long term projects, i.e. - duration of longer than 12 months). Also, identify the number of emergency management organizations or the targeted population area whose emergency management needs will be directly benefited by the project. ~ If the contracts are signed in April 2001, the County should be able to hire a contractor through the Request For Proposal process and contract for the roof replacement services to be complete within a year. Once the 39,340 square foot roof is replaced at the Civic Center Special Needs Shelter, emergency managers could safely protect evacuees up to Category 3 Hurricanes. This will be an immediate tangible emergency management benefit that furthers state and local objectives to provide a safe special needs shelter. This will benefit evacuees immediately for the 2002 hurricane season and for many years to come. It will provide long-term health and safety benefits to over 400 special needs citizens throughout the entire year. The Special Needs Shelter is available throughout the year to assist in sheltering citizens during hurricane season, wildfire season and other human disaster such as a fire at the local fertilizer plant or nuclear power accident. ~ 2 '-" '-' · · · · · · · · · · · '-' · 3. Describe the project's consistency with the State Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan and any applicable local comprehensive emergency management plans. Replacing the roof at the Special Needs Shelter is consistent with the State of Florida Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 1998 Emergency Support Function (ESF) 6 - Mass Care Section. Page 2 of ESF 6 states in the preparedness section "ESF 6 agencies will work with local government, and voluntary service delivery units.. . and other applicable agencies in activities related to surveying the feasibility and suitability of facilities to be used as shelters utilizing the following American Red Cross publications as guidelines: "Mass Care: Preparedness and Operations; (ARC 3031 )," and "Guidelines for Hurricane Evacuation and shelter Selection; (ARC 4496)." Improving the Special Needs Shelter is consistent with the County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan Emergency Support Function (ESF) 6 - Mass Care Section. Pages 6-5 and 6-6 identify that the County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan sheltering requirements. Letter c states, "all shelters should be managed in accordance with applicable ARC regulations and procedures, including the assignment of trained shelter managers at each shelter." Since the ARC guidelines recommend that structurally strong shelters be provided, this grant application is consistent with this section in the County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan. 4. Discuss why this particular method and approach was chosen. The S1. Lucie County Central Services, Emergency Management and Engineering Department developed a Roofing Project Manual and Specification that identified the exact methods and materials that should be used to replace the roof for the Civic Center Special Need Shelter. Attachment 3 includes portions of the manual and identifies that the complete removal and replacement of this roof would be $275,380. Attachment 3 includes information from the Roofing Project Manual for the Scope of Work, progress meetings, inspections and quality control. . The Scope of Work includes: All tests necessary for obtaining permits; Conduit lines should be raised on stands at a minimum of 8"; Air conditioning units should be a minimum of 12" from the surface; Remove and replace expansion joint with Manville Expando Flash; Remove existing roof down to Tectum Deck; Extend all curbs to a minimum of 12"; Install crickets and sumps between drains and scuppers; Mechanically attach specified base sheet to Tectum Deck; Torch apply smooth polyester modified bitumen sheet; Torch apply granulated polyester modified bitumen cap sheet; Flashing consists one ply of smooth and one ply of granulated cap sheet; Install new wood blocking and new aluminum coping cap; 3 \..... . Install all new metal edge and accessories; and . Issue twenty (20) year No Dollar Limit Warranty. The Contractor will be required to be experienced in hot multi-ply roofing and modified bitumen roofing and be acceptable by owner and roofing material manufacturer. The roofing manufacturer shall be an Associate Member in good standing with National Roofing Contractor's Association and be recognized in roofing, waterproofing and moisture survey industry. The Roofing Project Manual also identifies that there will be: · Pre-job conference meetings; · Progress meetings; · Pre-final inspection meetings; and · Final inspection meetings. It is apparent from all of the meetings planned between the County and the contractor, that many hours of County staff time will be involved with overseeing this project. It is also apparent from the Scope of Work section that the· final product will have to have a twenty (20) year No Dollar Limit Warranty. Thus, this is the best method for the County to complete this much-needed roof replacement project for the Civic Center Special Needs Shelter. \...- 5. Identify Applicant's project match. The County recently equipped the Civic Center Special Needs Shelter with hurricane shutters over the doors for $8,730 and reinforced the shelter's walls with beams to withstand Category 3 Hurricanes. In 1998 and 1999, $68,580 of County funds were used toward reinforcing the walls. Although there is no direct match for this roof replacement project, the County has made significant efforts to improve the shelter in the recent years. County staff time will be available for project management and quality assurances. A contractor will be hired through the Request for Proposals process, and County Central Services staff will be responsible for managing the contractor's work quality thus ensuring that the end product is correctly completed. \...- 4 6. Discuss the Applicant's experience and ability applied to the project. '-" The County has designated Mr. Jack T. Southard, Public Safety Director, as the project manager for this grant. The County has employed Mr. Southard for approximately 25 years. In his capacity with the County, Mr. Southard has been the director of911 and from 1989 to the present he has headed the Public Safety Department. In his Public Safety Director capacity, Mr. Southard oversees Emergency Management, E911 and the Marine Safety Division. Central Services staff, Gerald Flynn and Gerald Parenteau assist in the long-term maintenance of several county buildings. Gerald Flynn has 31 + experience in building maintenance. Whether he does the job himself or oversees it, Gerald can ensure that it is done right. He has worked with air conditioning, roofing, and retrofitting restrooms. Gerald Parenteau expertise is with generators and air condition units and will be available during the disasters to assist in any emergency mechanical situation. 7. Tiebreaker - Answer the following two questions: 1) Has the applicant's jurisdiction been Impacted by an environmental clean-up initiative? If so, describe the initiative and its impact on the Applicant. St. Lucie County has been impacted by two environmental clean-up initiatives. One was when the Lykes fertilizer plant had a spill. The Department of Envirónmental Protection was the responsible agency for cleaning up the site. They covered the area with dirt to \...- soak up the spill and then disposed the dirt at an improved site. The second event was when Ft. Pierce Utilities Authority sewage treatment plant pipe broke in the Indian River Lagoon. The pipe that carries waste from the mainland to the plants location on the barrier island, cracked and spilled sewage into the Indian River Lagoon. Since it washed out to area beaches, the beaches were closed until the clean-up process was completed. \..r 5 \.,..

COMMISSIONERS COUNTY ADMI N ISTRATOR DOUGLAS M. ANDmSON December 14,2000 Joseph F. Myers, Director Department of Community Affairs Division of Emergency Management 2555 Shumard Oak Boulevard Tallahassee, Florida 32399-2199 Dear Mr. Myers: Please accept this grant application for the following St. Lucie County Priority Projects. Through analysis of the County's most important projects on the Local Mitigation Strategy Prioritized List, staff requests $118,000 in Trust Funds to purchase 150 Versa-stalls that can be used for one large animal or broken down to accommodate four smaller animals. Grant funds will also be used for educational materials, food containers, hoses, disinfectants and printing costs associated with the development of an Animal Disaster Plan for St. Lucie County. At the April 11, 2000 Board of County Commissioners meeting, a $269,500 budget was approved to build a Multi-Purpose Arena at the new Fairgrounds on SR 70. This building will be the 2: 1 grant match and will be used as an emergency animal collection site and location for the stalls. \...- St. Lucie County residents and other animal owners in the state will benefit by having an easily accessible facility to house large and small animals in the times of disasters. Drivers evacuating and/or returning home on one of our main highways (Florida turnpike, 1-95 and SR 70) will also benefit because the County will have a Disaster Plan in place and volunteers designated to round up loose horses and cattle and repairing fences along the evacuation corridors to ensure that traffic is not hindered by stray large animals. Since the County realizes that these items need to be completed to prepare for next year's hurricane season, the Versa-stalls and other essential items will be purchased as soon as the contracts are signed. It may take up to one year for the County Extension Service, Animal Control Division and the Fairground's committee to fully develop the Animal Disaster Plan. St. Lucie County will provide the following assurances: that only those entities identified in the application are involved in the proposed project; that the application is made without collusion with any other entity submitting an application; that the application is, in all respects, fair and in good faith, without fraud or collusion; and that the signer of the application has full authority to bind the applicant and all other involved parties. I herby certify that these assurances are true and accurate and that the County is fully committed to completing this project within one year of the contract date. If you have any questions regarding this grant application, please contact Jack Southard, Public Safety Director at (56 ~ 462-1736. St. Lucie County appreciates the opportunity to apply for funds to complete some of the nty's highest priority projects. a c: Board of County Commissioners Jack Southard, Public Safety Director Dan McIntyre, County Attorney Ron Book, Esquire Robert Bradshaw, Asst.

Clearly identify a demonstrated state or local emergency management need and explain how this project will address it. If applicable, identify which emergency management priority, as identified in the Notice of Fund Availability, the project address. Clearly link the project to the priority. \....- St. Lucie County Emergency Managers and the St. Lucie County Fair Association have determined that there is a Statewide and a County needs to construct a new fairground facility that could be used as an emergency collection site for small and large animals during disaster situations. Since the fair is being moved from its original location of 35 years at the airport to this new 250 acres site, the County realizes the importance of building a new facility that can serve as an emergency evacuation center for humans and animals. This first phase at the new fairgrounds will include a Multi-Purpose Show and Exhibition Arena that will be used for typical fair activities and most importantly for an emergency shelter for small and large animals. When major funding is available, the County also plans to construct a badly needed Joint Use Regional Disaster Control Center and Special Nèeds Shelter at the same 250-acre site. Providing a small animal shelter for emergencies situations is identified as item number 74 in 81. Lucie County Unified Local Mitigation Strategy. This was determined as an important goal for the County to resolve since there are no facilities in this region available to assist in emergency housing for small and large animals. '-" This grant proposal is for the purchase of 150 galvanized steel V ersa~stalls that can be used for either one large horse-size animal or broken down into four smaller stalls for dogs, pigs, goats, and sheep. The grant request also includes a small amount of funds to assist in the development of a St. Lucie County Large and Small Animal Disaster Plan which will include this facility as a statewide large-animal evacuation center. The request is also for the purchase of water ànd feed bowls, publications and videos already developed for educating the public on how to prepare animals for disasters. St. Lucie County's match for this grant is $270,000 that is already allocated by the Board of County Commissioners for the construction of the Multi-Purpose Show and Exhibition Arena, a 250'xI80' covered facility. It can be used for fair events but most importantly as an emergency collection site for animals before and/or after a disaster. The Fair Association will also build additional barns that can also be used as holding areas. Since the new fairgrounds and associated emergency holding area for large and small animals will be located on State Road 70 six miles west of Interstate-95 and the Florida Turnpike it can conveniently serve the four county area of Okeechobee, St. Lucie, Indian River and Martin Counties and is easily accessed from the west coast via SR 70. This site will serve as a large and small animal emergency collection site for: · Animals during an evacuation event associated with fire disasters; · Animals regionally located in flood zone areas during hurricane events; · Animals from other area of the state that need to evacuate to a safe site; and · Animals that are rounded up after a disaster event that have escaped due to fallen fences or flood conditions. \...- 1 ~ \.,. \...- In the case of Hurricane Floyd, owners of very expensive and prized horses from St. Lucie County attempted to bring their horses to the State Fairgrounds in Tampa but this emergency collection site filled up almost instantly. V olusia County Fairgrounds in Deland is another possible site in the state where horse owners could go but also fills up very quickly, especially during the evacuation associated with the central Florida fires. St. Lucie, Indian River, Okeechobee and West Palm are areas of the state that have high numbers of large animal owners that require a place to move their animals in times of emergency since many farms are located in flood zones areas. Many of these horses are not just family pets but are expensive show or breeding animals that range in value from $5000 to $50,000. Horses and other small and large animals are important economies for the State because it provides hundreds of thousands of jobs, businesses and very expensive real estate. In some cases, people do not evacuate if there is not a safe area to bring their primary possessions like their horse or dog. To prevent people from staying in an unsafe area, or traveling on the roads towing a horse trailer, this new fairground facility will provide a sensible option for these animal owners. The County plans to build on this site a Special Needs Shelter and Emergency Shelter that could possibly accommodate the large and small animal owners. Providing a small and large animal shelter for emergencies situations is identified as item number 74 in St. Lucie County Unified Local Mitigation Strategy. This project is consistent with the following emergency management priorities as identified in the Notice of Fund Availability: · Projects that will promote and facilitate all aspects of evacuation, sheltering, and Special Needs Populations and will achieve the intent as set forth in the most recently adopted version of Section 252.385, Florida Statutes; · Projects which implement the community's Local Hazard Mitigation Strategy; · Projects which will improve emergency management capabilities in any of the following fundamental areas of response or recovery: Damage Assessment / Analysis and Debris Management. By providing education to animal owners on how to prepare their animals for a disaster event, there will be less chance for accidents involving loose animals facilitating a smoother evacuation. When one considers the amount of chaos that could occur on the roadways in the evacuation process if horses or other large animals escape due to a downed fence and tie up traffic while it is loose along the roadway or when it is hit on the roadway. In addition, horse owners that do not leave early enough to get ahead of the traffic will have a hard time maneuvering in the traffic with a large, unstable horse trailer behind them. Horse trailers are unstable in high wind conditions and could easily turn over and tie up the evacuation route for several hours. To ensure that the evacuation process functions as smoothly as possible in emergency situations, it would be proactive to first educate animal owners on proper procedures and for St. Lucie County to have a location that can accept large and small animals from this region of the state. This will prevent animal owners from staying home in dangerous situations and/or traveling with an unstable load of expensive animals. 2 \.,. In the Broward County Large Animal Disaster Plan it recommends methods to mark the animals so if the animals escape, it can easily be identified and returned to the owners. Since the educational information that will be provided to the animal owners will also explain how to strengthen barns, fences and to remove scrap metal or wood from the area to prevent flying debris missiles, this project will help minimize the amount of debris that is thrown by hum cane force winds. If large or small animals are found dead in flooded rivers or ponds as observed when Hurricane Floyd hit North Carolina, the Animal Disaster Plan developed as part of this grant will have a specific plan on how to handle the disposal of animals. The St. Lucie County Large and Small Animal Disaster Plan will also have specific steps spelled out on how to assess and analyze damage associated with stray or dead animals. This Animal Disaster Plan will be coordinated and approved by the Emergency Management Team and will be an essential component of the recovery process. Staff and volunteers will have a plan to follow to round up the loose animals, have a secure place to keep them and veterinarians available for emergency care. Presently St. Lucie County does not have a plan and does not have a safe place to hold animals before or after a disaster. If an Animal Disaster Plan and a shelter is in place complete with stalls funded through this grant, St. Lucie County Emergency Management Team can focus on the human emergencies while the Animal Disaster Team can follow their plan to resolve the animal emergencies. 2. Identify the immediate tangible emergency management benefits (short term projects, i.e. -12 months or less in duration), or, reasonable expectation of long term emergency management benefits coupled with the availability of resources (other than this grant amount) to continue implementation of the project past the term of the award (long term projects, i.e. - duration of longer than 12 months). Also, identify the number of emergency management organizations or the targeted population area whose emergency management needs will be directly benefited by the project. ~ This project is a short-term project with long-term benefits. There are two primary goals of this project. Purchasing Versa-stalls and associated items for the emergency animal collection site is a very simple project that can be completed soon after the contracts are signed between the County and the State. Once contracts are signed and the committee determines exactly the type of food containers, hoses and disinfectants that will work in this situation, purchase orders will be completed for delivery before 2001 Hurricane Season. Since the stalls will be portable and strong, emergency managers can use the stalls for horses, goats, pigs and dogs for approximately twenty years at the Fairgrounds animal collection site or anywhere else in the County or State if the emergency need warrants it. The second goal of this project is to develop a Large and Small Animal Disaster Plan that can be a step-by-step plan on how to handle specific animal emergencies. The committee ~ 3 "-' \.. '-' will develop solutions to some of these most critical animal emergency problems triggered by disaster events: · Runaway animals on the evacuation and return routes due to downed fences; · Animal collection area site management (food, water, medical care, volunteers); · Policies on euthanasia and how to dispose of small and large numbers of animals to limit spread of disease; and · Return of animals to their rightful owners. The direct benefits of this project is having a shelter and trained volunteer and paid staff aware of the procedures necessary to run a program that can assess the problems, determine the solutions, and quickly resolve the situation. If the county does not have portable stalls and an Animal Disaster Plan in place, the amount of problems that could occur have recently been experienced in North Carolina after Hurricane Floyd. Drinking water supplies were contaminated and large numbers of animals had to be disposed of quickly before disease spread into the community. An indirect benefit is how an Animal Disaster Plan and the purchase of stalls can benefit all of the people traveling through St. Lucie County evacuation and return routes. Just by having a place to put loose horses, cattle and dogs during the recovery process will benefit the movement of traffic back into the communities. Throughout the state, many evacuation corridors are lined with cattle or horse farms that could lead to animals escaping over a downed fence into traffic causing even greater tie-ups. Although one may first think this project benefits only animal owners, look again at the indirect benefits for residents of S1. Lucie County and others evacuating through the County. Since the portable stalls can be transported to a farm with a downed fence·and used as holding pens on the farm while fences are being repaired, drivers on evacuation routes benefit by the capture of the loose cows and horses. The 4-H students and their parents may be a good group that could handle the fence repair, round up and care of the animals. The 4-H members participating on the committee may choose to practice rounding up their animals on different farms to prepare everyone, animal and person, the procedures of responding to disaster situations. . Thus, ifthere is a plan to assess downed fences along primary corridors and people ready to round them up and stalls to put them in, drivers evacuating or returning to homes will be safer since the large animals will not be roaming the roadways. Thus, indirectly this project benefits all the people traveling through the county's primary corridors: SR 70- Okeechobee Road, 1-95, Florida Turnpike, Midway Road, US 1, and Orange Avenue. This project will benefit large animal owners statewide since a new shelter will be available to hold animals evacuated from another county due to floods, fires and hurricanes. Since there are very few areas in the state designed to accept large influxes of large animals, this facility will benefit other counties by: . Providing a temporary holding site for other disaster areas so they do not have to build and man temporary facilities; 4 '-' · Providing stalls and fenced arenas for farms that are waiting for flood waters to recede or fires to simmer; and · Saving the state and federal government's time and money by having a designated plan in place to limit the number of additional problems that could occur on the roadways or in the flooded waterways. The stalls and the Animal Disaster Plan developed in one year could be used to achieve the emergency management objective identified in the State Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 1998 for: · Prompt and efficient response and recovery activities to protect lives and property affected by emergencies; · Recover from emergencies by providing for the rapid and orderly implementation of restoration and rehabilitation programs for persons and properties affected by emergencies; and · Assist in anticipation, recognition, appraisal, prevention, and mitigation of emergencies that may be caused by inadequate planning for, and regulation of, public and private facilities and land use. ~ The benefits of the county developing and implementing a Large and Small Animal Disaster Plan complete with a facility constructed by the County and stall and educational materials provided by this grant, will be great. Animal owners will learn how to prepare their animals and farm for a disaster, how to mark their animals 'for retrieval, and how to assist in the recovery and fence repair process. Residents and tourists evacuating along St. Lucie County's highways (SR-70, 1-95, Florida Turnpike) will benefit since the county has an efficient plan to use locals to prevent the strays from crossing the highways. Finally, this project could benefit farms and large animals throughout the state that have been temporarily displaced from their homes due to fires, floods, droughts or hurricanes. The long-term benefits will continue once the volunteer organization begin practicing some of the drills: how to round up animals; inventory of supplies at home and at the evacuation center; inventory of loose fence wires and stalls; basic first aid techniques, for animals and humans. Although some of this information is covered in 4-H and other animal organizations, practicing disaster recovery steps may even turn into a new contest category at 4-H or even scouting events. Overall, practicing the implementation of the recovery plan will lead to greater coordination and respect between the agencies and volunteer groups. '-" 5 3. Describe the project's consistency with the State Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan and any applicable local comprehensive emergency management plans. [Maximum score 100 points] ~ This project is consistent with the following purposes ofthe State Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 1998: · Reduce the vulnerability of people and communities of this state to loss of life, injury, or damage and loss of property resulting from natural, technological or man-made emergencies, catastrophes, or hostile military or paramilitary action; · Prepare for prompt and efficient response and recovery activities to protect lives and property affected by emergencies; · Recover from emergencies by providing for the rapid and orderly implementation of restoration and rehabilitation programs for persons and property affected by emergencies; and · Assist in anticipation, recognition, appraisal, prevention, and mitigation of emergencies that may be caused or aggravated by inadequate planning for, and regulation of, public and private facilities and land use. ~ To reduce the vulnerability of people and communities of this state to loss of life, injury, or damage and loss of property resulting from natural, technological or manmade emergencies, catastrophes, or hostile military or paramilitary action, St. Lucie County requests the use of grant funds to develop an Animal Disaster Plan with an education component so animal owners can learn proper methods to protect their prized properties, horses and other pets, from hurricane and flood· situations. In addition, grant funds will be used to purchase 150 Versa-stalls, feed and water bowls to house large and/or small animals before, during or after a disaster. Versa-stalls could be used for one large animal or converted to four smaller stalls thus adapting to the needs of the emergency. . To ensure that the evacuation process functions as smoothly as possible in emergency situations, S1. Lucie County should have a location that can accept large and small animals from this region of the state to prevent animal owners from staying home in dangerous situations and/or traveling with an unstable load of expensive animals. Evacuation chaos on the roadways could be reduced by providing owners guidance on the proper methods to secure their fences, stables, and dog pens, to limit the amount of animals that escape due to a downed fence and tie up traffic while it is loose along the roadway or when it is hit on the roadway. In addition, horse owners that do not follow the recommendations to leave early enough to get ahead of the traffic will have a hard time maneuvering in the traffic with a large, unstable horse trailer behind them. Horse trailers are unstable in high wind conditions and could easily turn over and tie up the evacuation route for several hours. Thus, proper education of animal owners will lead to a smoother evacuation and greater protection of their prized properties, horses and dogs. \... The educational and planning component of this grant application will assist in the anticipation, appraisal, prevention and mitigation of emergencies that may be caused or aggravated if the County is not prepared for problems associated with large and small animal emergencies triggered by a disaster. The County Emergency Management Staff, 6 ~ Extension Agents, Animal Control and Fairground Planning Committee realize that S1. Lucie County has a lot of work and details to develop a sound Large and Small Animal Disaster Plan for S1. Lucie County. The Broward County Large Animal Disaster Plan that will be used as a guide for the committee stresses education of animal owners on how to prepare their home or stables for disasters to relieve the load on shelters pre and post- disaster. The Broward plan also has step-by-step procedures how to respond to the situation after the hurricane hits to roun~ up loose animals and care for them. Since the University of Florida and other counties have developed educational materials for animal owners, this planning and educational project has materials that are already published that could be purchased for education of our residents and visitors to the fair. Once an Animal Disaster Plan is prepared and an animal collection site is constructed, there will be less confusion on how to capture loose animals, where they should be placed and who will care for them. The plan will also include an approved strategy on how to dispose of animals quickly that may have drowned or died due to the disaster to eliminate the chance of disease spreading in the community. If the County does not have a site to house animals in pre and post disaster situations and a plan to deal with the many aspects of animals before and after a disaster, many unforeseen problems could occur that would take away limited human and financial resources that could have been avoided if we have a plan and prepared site inplace. North Carolina Emergency Managers wished they had a plan when they faced cleaning up the hog farms after Hurricane Floyd. Thus, this project is consistent with the State Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan because it will: ~ . Reduce damage and loss of property; · Prepare for prompt and efficient response and recovery; · Provide rapid and orderly implementation of restoration programs; and · Assist in anticipation, recognition, appraisal, prevention and mitigation of emergencies that may be caused by inadequate planning. This project is also consistent with S1. Lucie County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan - Emergency Support Function #17 Animal Protection. Identified in· the Annex I section of the plan, the Animal Protection ESF #17 scope clarifies the need to: define the organizational structure and staffing requirements of the response teams; define the notification/activation process; define concept of operations, define administrative and general tasks for response team; and ensure that the preparation of the County will be adequate to deal with, reduce vulnerability to, and recover from emergencies and disasters that may effect public peace, health and safety. \.. Emergency Support Function #17 Planning Assumptions include the identification, training, and exercising of such teams prior to an event is required to ensure standardized operating practices and continuity of operations. The Planning Assumptions also stressed that a rapid arrival and establishment of predetermined actions is necessary to assist in managing these resources. ESF # 17 clearly recommends the steps that need to be taken to be prepared for disaster situations involving animals and will be a clear guide to assist in developing the plan. County Agencies and volunteer organizations, like 4-H, that work 7 "--' together to develop the Animal Disaster Plan for St. Lucie County will work better as a team when an emergency arises since they are all familiar with the plan and their duties. Thus, this project is consistent with the State and County Emergency Management Plan. 4. Discuss why this particular method and approach was chosen. [Maximum score 100 points] Since the County does not have an emergency animal collection site for pet owners to bring their animals to, many residents stay home with their pets instead of going to an approved evacuation shelter. Others load their horses up and drive to another area of the state in search of boarding stables. Although it is recommended for driver's pulling a horse trailer to leave before the full evacuation is initiated, this is often not the case and the driver is now responsible for pulling a trailer in heavy, chaotic traffic under heavy wind conditions. The trailers are unstable in high winds, and horses can easily be injured in the event of an accident. Nothing would be worse than to have an accident like this blocking traffic thus slowing down the entire evacuation process. The County Extension Service and Animal Control can only assist pet owners with basic recommendations on how to prepare for a disaster but have not been able to provide any shelter assistance. "--' The Emergency Management Issues that need to be addressed is educating animal owners on how to prepare for a disaster and developing a plan where all paid staff and volunteers are prepared to participate in the recovery of roaming animals to prevent additional accidents. Important issues also include having veterinarian staff and volunteers prepared· to care for injuries and/or euthanize animals whose condition is such that its continued existence would be inhumane, and proper disposal of carcasses. The Broward County Large Animal Disaster Plan "deals with an organized response to any Large Animal Disaster that potentially could have from a few to hundreds of free roaming and/or injured animals in addition to a few to hundreds of large animal carcasses to be disposed of." This plan provides exact steps that recovery volunteers and home owners should follow complete with numbers to call for assistance or to assist. St. Lucie County staff and volunteers involved in developing the plan will review other community's policies and plans and talk with those individuals that have been through a disaster situation to fully realize the real-life impacts of a disaster. When the Volusia County Fairgrounds accepted animals during Florida's fires, the fairground was inundated with many different animals other than horses. In their case, they only had horse stalls and nothing to hold smaller animals. In addition, there was not enough water and feeq containers for all of the animals that arrived to the shelter. Fairgrounds Manager, Jeanne Keaton recommends the purchase of 150 Versa-stalls due to their versatility and strength. Made from galvanized steel, the stall can be used for one horse-size animal or broken down into four sturdy smaller stalls suitable for dogs, goats and pigs. Solid barriers can be slid between the walls of the connected four stalls to prevent animals from seeing each other limiting aggression between the smaller animals and spread of infection. ~ 8 \.... Since Versa-stalls are portable, they can be transported to other areas in the County or in the State if the need arises. The stalls can be set up as holding facilities in one area of the county during roundup and used again when the animals are unloaded at a designated animal collection site. The stalls can also be moved easily while cleaning in the area. Bowls, hoses and disinfectants will be purchased to ensure that the facility and water and food bowls can be cleaned to prevent spread of disease in potentially crowded situations that could occur in times of natural disasters. On April 11, 2000, the St. Lucie County Board of County Commissioners (BOCC) approved the allocation of $269,500 for the new Multi-Purpose Show and Exhibition Arena to be located at the new St. Lucie County Fairgrounds. Documented in the BOCC agenda item C-4 (Tab Match), the $269,500 two-to-one match for this emergency management project shows the County's concrete commitment of Park Impact Fees, County Capital Fund and General Contingency Fund. Although the Fairground Association is constructing additional barns for animal holding areas, this is not included as a match. The County has begun site preparation and hope to have the arenas and the fairgrounds infrastructure including water, sewer, restrooms and parking completed by the 2001 Hurricane Season. The Animal Disaster Plan committee will determine which bowls; hoses and disinfectants should be purchased with the 150 Versa-stalls. Emergency Management staff will work with County purchasing department to quickly purchase the items before hurricane season. The committee will set up a schedule for review of other community's policies and plans. Guest speakers or viewings of existing videos and possibly animal disaster '-" news footage will be scheduled so that the public has an opportunity to attend. The committee will then complete a Small and Large Animal Disaster Plan within one year of the signing of the grant contract. Thus, the 150 Versa-stalls recommended for purchase with $100,000 of grant funds for the St. Lucie County Fairgrounds can be used for one large animal or broken down to four smaller stalls for goats, pigs, dogs, and miniature horses. Hoses, disinfectants, feed and water containers proposed for purchasing is a minor cost of$3000 grant funds but will help immensely by making it easier to maintain a healthier environment than having a hundred different varieties of buckets attached to the stalls in makeshift fashion. The County also requests that $5000 of grant funds be earmarked for educational materials in the form of videos and existing or newly developed emergency management publications for St. Lucie County. In addition, the County would like to request $5000 for postage, copy costs, travel for speakers and other items required to assist in the development and implementation of a Small and Large Animal Disaster Plan for St. Lucie County. Through the local newspapers, the public will be invited to come and listen to the informative speakers telling how their community handled the disaster. \... 9 ~ '-" \.... 5. Identify Applicant's project match. [Maximum score 50 points] On April 11, 2000, the St. Lucie County Board of County Commissioners (BOCC) approved the allocation of $269,500 for the new Multi-Purpose Show and Exhibition Arena to be located at the new St. Lucie County Fairgrounds. Documented in the BOCC agenda item C-4 (Tab Match), the $269,500 two-to-one match for this emergency management project shows the County's concrete commitment of: · Park Impact Fees - $108,00; · County Capital Fund - $53,500; and · General Contingency Fund - $108,000. Although the Fairground Association is constructing additional barns for animal holding areas, this is not included as a match. The County has begun site preparation and hope to have the arenas and the Fairgrounds infrastructure including water, sewer, restroom facilities, and parking completed by the 2001 Hurricane Season. The total grant request of$118,000 includes: · 150 Versa-stalls - $100,000; · Bowls, hoses, disinfectants - $3,000; · Indirect budget management costs - $5,000; · Educational publications and videos - $5,000; and · Disaster Planning Committee speakers, copy costs, postage - $5,000. The County's match of $269,500 is to éonstruct a facility that can be used 'an emergency animal collection site for large and small animals before, during and after a disaster. The total project cost is $387,500. The County's match of $269,500 is 70% of the project cost. Grant funds requested for this important project are $118,000, 30% of the total project cost. Funds for staff and volunteer time to develop the plan and implement the plan when the disaster hits is incalculable since it will immensely aid limited County Emergency staff and residents of St. Lucie County. 6. Discuss the Applicant's experience and ability applied to the project. Jeanne Keaton has been the General Manager for the St. Lucie County Fair Association for 9 years. She has attended many nationwide conferences where emergency preparedness is one of the primary topics since fairgrounds have always been identified as natural safe havens. She is also very familiar with the problems that have occurred in other Florida County Fairgrounds due to not being prepared for the large numbers of large and small animals and owners that arrived to their site. Susan Munyan, Extension Agent coordinating with 4-H brings a team of dedicated students and parents committed to responsible animal care. They have already voiced their goal to assist the County in projects that benefit the fairgrounds and the community. Both Ms. Keaton and Ms. Munyan are responsible for notifying animal owners of the steps to safeguard their animals before a hurricane or flood event and have encouraged the county to construct a small and large animal emergency collection site. 10 ~ EMP A COMPETITIVE GRANT APPLICATION A TT ACHMENT- Portable Animal Stalls for Regional Animal Collection Site Date: 12/12/00 ~ Proposed Bud2et EXPENDITURE Cash In-Kind Total EMPA Total CATEGORIES Match Services Grantee Award Project A Match Cost D Cost B A+B= C+D=E C 1.

Myers, Director Department of Community Affairs Division of Emergency Management 2555 Shumard Oak Boulevard Tallahassee, Florida 32399-2199 Dear Mr. Myers: Please accept this grant application for the following St. Lucie County Priority Projects. Through analysis of the County's most important projects on the Local Mitigation Strategy Prioritized List, staff requests $103,855 in Trust Funds to assist in the much needed drainage improvement for Indian River Estates Subdivision. The 1800 residents of Indian River Estates are constantly being flooded due to the inadequacies of the drainage system. Since they are on septic tanks and wells, constant flooding could lead to serious health problems. The County Road and Bridge staff is committed to complete the drainage retrofit and paving of three roads in one year after the contracts are signed. '-" The County has $250,000 allocated in the Capital Improvement Plan for drainage improvements and will be used as a 2: 1 match for this grant to purchase larger culverts to improve drainage. The Drainage Maintenance Supervisor will also provide a minimum of $3,503 of in-kind time to assist in the successful management of this project. Some of the funds in the match will be used for local contractors to assist in swale maintenance ($135,000) and driveway culvert replacement ($25,000). Ninety thousand dollars ($90,000) in millings will also be provided by the County to pave the three roadways to eliminate sand and dirt from washing into the drainage system. St. Lucie County will provide the following assurances: that only those entities identified in the application are involved in the proposed project; that the application is made without collusion with any other entity submitting an application; that the application is, in all respects, fair and in good faith, without fraud or collusion; and that the signer of the application has full authority to bind the applicant and all other involved parties.

Indian River Estates Drainage Improvements - St. Lucie County Emergency Management, Engineering and Road & Bridge staff determined that the following project is needed to considerably reduce the flooding that results in this subdivision due to its close proximity to the western border of the Savannah State Preserve. Drainage improvements for this subdivision are identified as Project 12 on the County's Local Mitigation Strategy Prioritized Project List (see attachment #2). This project will also fulfill the State's Priority Area B while implem,enting the Community's LMS by alleviating a major storm water drainage problem. By retrofitting the drainage system, the LMS Project 12 will be met. Funding for this project will enable the Road & Bridge department to continue with work to alleviate the repetitive flooding problems experienced in this area (see attachment #5). ~ Our aim this fiscal year (2000-2001) is to reestablish the drainage and place an asphalt milling surface on the three (3) North-South roadways that still has a dirt surface. By placing the asphalt milling surface on these roadways, we will be eliminating the main reason for drainage blockages. Before we can place the asphalt milling surface on these roadways, we must replace a total of twenty-one (21) small cross pipes and four (4) large cross pipes. By replacing the cross pipes at the time of the roadway construction, we will be able to focus our attention on the remaining drainage problems since the life expectancy for a cross pipe is approximately ten (10) years. We also need to replace forty (40) small cross pipes and twenty (20) large cross pipes on the remaining ten (10) streets as these pipes are in various stages of deterioration and will block drainage in areas that the swale maintenance has already been performed. After this year, there will still be twelve (12) streets that will need to be scheduled for swale excavation and reinstatement at which time the entire subdivision will have been addressed. This subdivision is a constant area of concern to St. Lucie County's Emergency Managers and the State Land Managers as it drains into the Savannah State Preserve due to the possible pollutants building up from septic tanks during flood conditions. If water is moved quickly from the subdivision to the Preserve's basin, there is less chance for the septic tanks to seep into the . flood waters. As well as less chance for contaminants from the septic tank to seep into the drinking water wells. Thus, moving flood water quickly from the Indian River Estates ' subdivision to the adjacent basin benefits both residents and the preserve. I '~ 1 '-' 2. Clearly identify the immediate tangible emergency management benefits. Also, identify the number of emergency management organizations or the targeted population area whose emergency management needs will be directly benefitted by the project. This subdivision's storm water drains into the Savannahs State Preserve's Outstanding Florida Waters and the majority of the flood water stands in the easternmost portion of the subdivision. Over the past several years, the Road & Bridge department have made improvements in this area by replacing some of the cross pipes as well as adding pipes and clearing undergrowth where the water drains into the Preserve. If funded, the Road & Bridge Department will be able to complete retrofitting the drainage system for three major roadways in Indian River Estates. When St. Lucie County has a major flood event, the existing cross pipes still in need of replacement can not handle the volume of water that is trying to move through them. To alleviate this serious drainage problem, we will increase the diameter of any new cross pipes from their existing diameter by possibly one size up or even by placing double pipes at a number of intersections. This would, to some extent, help move the water from the subdivision to the Preserve's basin. There are approximately 1,800 single family residences in this subdivision that rely on septic tanks and wells. Our first and foremost objective is to eliminate as much standing water as feasibly possible. By doing this, we hope to eliminate the possibility of the septic systems becoming inoperable and the wells from becoming contaminated by sewage. We want to do everything possible to protect the citizens of St. Lucie County from the potential of disease as well as keep contaminated water from entering into the Savannah State Preserve. '-' The County plans to replace twenty-one (21) small cross pipes and four (4) large cross pipes on the three (3) roads that are to receive the asphalt milling suñaces within one (1) year from the execution of the grant contracts. This short term project will have long term benefits since the flooding problems will be minimized within this specific area. This project has a projected commencement date of April, 2001 with a target completion date of August, 2001. This portion of the drainage improvements represents the fourth stage of an eight stage project to encompass the entire Indian River Estates subdivision. This portion can be marked in three (3) milestones, those being the installation of the cross pipes, the reinstatement of the swales and finally the road suñace treatment consisting of asphalt millings. St. Lucie County is dedicated to alleviating the repetitive flooding problems that occur in this subdivision. The Road & Bridge Department is responsible for providing maintenance and peñorming operations on County roadways and drainage facilities. Road maintenance includes miscellaneous drainage work as well as culvert repair/replacement. The Road & Bridge Department's Drainage Division has planned to install approximately 2,000 feet of culvert as well as resuñace 14 miles of roadways with asphalt millings. The Road & Bridge Department's Storm Water Division has an Enhanced Maintenance Program in place which consists of both public and private contracts to clean and restore canals, ditches, and swales to a condition which provides effective storm water management for the unincorporated area of the County. This includes over 1,100 miles of ditches and swales. The portion of the Capital Improvements Project budget to be used for the swale maintenance contract in Indian River Estates subdivision will be $135,000.00 or 20,000 lineal feet. \..r 2 \.r 3. Describe the project's consistency with the State Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan and any applicable local comprehensive emergency management plans. This project is consistent with the purpose of the State Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan (CEMP). Chapter 252, Florida Statutes (State Emergency Management Act), mandates the development of the Florida CEMP which acts as the framework for how we are to respond to, recover from and/or mitigate situations from a variety of disasters. This is an operations-oriented plan and we feel that by replacing all of the cross pipes in the subdivision and resurfacing the remaining dirt roadways in Indian River Estates subdivision, we will be fulfilling the prime directive of this plan in regards to this area (see attachment # 1 ). Upgrading the existing drainage is consistent with the St. Lucie County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan under the Annex II, Hazard Mitigation Program (see attachment #3). On page 17 of Annex II, it states "Hazard Mitigation includes activities that contribute to the prevention or alleviation of adverse occurrences resulting from the impact of hazardous incidents, natural or man made. All the disaster preparedness efforts should be directed towards public safety and the protections of lives and properties". Also, in St. Lucie County's Local Hazard Mitigation Strategy Program Annual Report 2000 (see attachment #4), it is noted on page 2 under the heading of Flood Management Plan of LMS Document that Indian River Estates is one of the 48 specific areas where storm water drainage is a known problem (see attachment #5). '-" Since Indian River Estates has a documented history of extensive flooding, St. Lucie County's major concern is for its citizens. If a major flood event happened that would disable the wells and septic systems in this subdivision, our emergency management resources would be taxed. To provide shelter and provisions for even a portion of the residents that would be displaced due to flooding would be an horrendous task. There are approximately 1,800 single family residences in this subdivision which would account for at least 3,609 individuals. Since we are trying to accomplish upgrading the existing drainage (both culverts and swale excavations) to keep flooding to a minimum, this grant application is consistent with this section in the County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan and the State Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan. '-' 3 4. Discuss why this particular method and approach is chosen. \.... The Indian River Estates subdivision consists of 23 roadways that have swales along both sides of the roads for the removal of storm water. This project will take a considerable amount of time to complete as it is time consuming to excavate and restore these areas with sod. We have also found that when some of the first houses were built, the driveway culverts were not placed at the proper elevation so drainage has been hampered in numerous sections. We have contracted with an outside company to excavate and restore swales in this subdivision, doing entire roads or significant portions that we deemed the most critical. As drainage blockages occur throughout the year, we use Road & Bridge crews to do spot maintenance. We have also started '8 driveway culvert replacement program that goes hand-' in-hand with the restoration of the drainage flow lines. The Road & Bridge department hires a contractor to replace the culvert pipes at the proper elevations and then restores the driveway surfaces to a condition equal to the original one. We feel that it is worth the cost to redo the necessary driveways to ensure that the drainage works to its most efficient capacity. \..... Of the 23 roadways in Indian River Estates, St. Lucie County's Road & Bridge department in conjunction with our outside contractors has reestablished the drainage on 12 roadways. Our aim this fiscal year (2000-2001) is to reestablish the drainage and place an asphalt milling surface on the three (3) North-South roadways that still has a dirt surface. By placing the asphalt milling surface on these roadways, we will be eliminating the main reason for drainage blockages. When we have even a normal rain, the amount of dirt that runs off of these roadways and into the swales cause the swales to fill in and the culvert pipes to form blockages. Before we can start to lay the asphalt milling surfaces, we need to replace all of the cr:oss pipes and reestablish the drainage for these three (3) roadways. This will involve replacing 21 of the smaller diameter pipes at a cost of $3,385.22 per pipe, with the total cost of the smaller pipes being $71,090 (see attachment 6a). Replacing the four (4) larger diameter pipes, at a cost of $6,941.31 per pipe, will cost, a total of $27,765 (see attachment 6b). The estimated cost of the cross pipe replacements for these roadways (crew, equipment and materials) will be $98,854. If funded the grant award will be for the purchase of these 25 pipes for $98,855. We may have to replace some driveway culverts that do not lie within the drainage flow line and the costs will vary depending on the width and surface of the existing driveway. The Storm Water budget for 2000/2001 has allocated $25,000.00 for the replacement of driveway culvert pipes in Indian River Estates. Storm Water has a contract for the amount of $451,783.00 with a private contractor to do the excavation and restoration of swales in various problem areas throughout the County. The portion of this budget be used in the Indian River Estates subdivision will be $135,000 or 20,000 lineal feet at $6.77 per lineal foot. The three (3) dirt roadways that are to have asphalt millings applied to them have a total combined length of approximately six (6) miles. The Road and Bridge construction crew installs the asphalt millings in the unincorporated county. The cost, per mile, for these millings is '-- 4 ~ $15,000.00. This includes the crew, equipment and materials. The cost to do six (6) miles of millings will be $90,000.00. The cost to construct an asphalt roadway where a dirt roadway now exists will be $500,000.00 per mile with the total cost for six (6) miles being $3,000,000.00. We have found asphalt millings to be a viable alternative to asphalt roadway construction. By utilizing this method, we can enhance the quality of life for more citizens of St. Luçie County while working within the constraints of the budget for our department. 5. Identify Applicant's project match. The County match for this project will include (see attachment # 7 Capital Improvement Plan): · The time of the Drainage Maintenance Supervisor as Project Manager for $3,503.00; · The money budgeted for the millings project for these three (3) dirt roadways is $90,000.00; · The money budgeted for the swale maintenance contract for these three (3) dirt roadways is $135,000.00; and · The money budgeted for driveway culvert and surface replacement contract for these three (3) dirt roadways is $25,000.00. The grant funds will be used for: · The purchase and installation of 21 small cross pipes and 4 large pipes on these three (3) dirt roadways is $98,855.00, and · Indirect booking and grant management costs of $5,000.00. \..r. The 2:1 match for this grant is $253,503.00 while the total grant request is $103,855.00. The Road and Bridge division has targeted this subdivision with a generous portion of our budget since it has a history of repetitive flooding. If this grant was awarded to us, we would be able to complete drainage improvement for the three primary roads in Indian River Estates. 6. Discuss the Applicant's experience and ability applied to the project. The County has designated Mr. Ray Murankus, Drainage Maintenance Supervisor, as the project manager for this grant. Mr. Murankus has been with St. Lucie County for six (6) years starting in our Engineering Department as an Inspector. In October of 1997, he was promoted to the position of Drainage Maintenance Supervisor which he holds today. For the last three (3) years Mr. Murankus has overseen the swale excavation and restoration contracts for the entire unincorporated County. Tiebreaker: The applicant's jurisdiction has been impacted by two recent environmental clean- up initiative. The Lykes Fertilizer Plant environmental clean-up was handled by the Department of Environmental Protection. They cornered off the area of the property where the spill occurred and brought in new dirt to absorb the spilled chemicals. This was hauled off to an improved site. The second event was the spill of sewage into the Indian River Lagoon from the Ft. Pierce Utilities Authority. A pipe had broken that carries effluent across the Indian River Lagoon. The pipe was repaired and cleaned-up and the beaches were closed for a few days. \.- 5 '-' Indian River Estates Drainage Improvements Date: 12/12/00 ~ Proposed Bud2et EXPENDITURE Cash In-Kind Total EMPA Total CATEGORIES Match Services Grantee Award Project A Match Cost D Cost B A+B=C C+D=E 1.

The CEMP provides guidance to state and local officials on -~ ?J.. t\)j (I " procedures, organization and responsibilities which will prevent, minimize and/or >~i <:)¡ ~ ~ X relieve personal hardship and property damage associated with disasters or the 1J ~ I~ ~ q.:y¡ ~ imminent threat thereof. This plan also provídes for an integrated and coordinated :II ~ /1" I.. ç ~ :I~ ,~ Il Ii local, state and federal response. ------- - - - - .. - - The CEMP is operations-oriented. It addresses coordinated regional and interregional evacuation; shelter; post-disaster response and recovery; rapid deployment end pre- deployment of resources; communications and warning systems; and annual exercises to determine the ability of state and local governments to respond to emergencies; and clearly defines responsibilities of state and volunteer agencies and organizations through a modified Incident Management System (IMS)Æmergency Support Function (ESF) approach to planning and operations. '-" The CEMP describes the basic strategies, assumptions and mechanisms through which the state will mobilize resources and conduct activities to guide and support local emergency management efforts through preparedness, response, recovery, and mitigation. To facilitate effective intergovernmental operations, the CEMP adopts á functional approach that groups the types of assistance to be provided under each ESF. Each ESF is headed by a primary agency, which has been selected based on its authorities, resources, end capabilities in the functional area. The ESFs serve as the primary operational mechanism through which state assistance to local governments is managed. State assistance will be provided to impacted counties under the overall coordination authority of the State Coordinating Officer (Sea), on behalf of the Governor. A. PURPOSE The CEMP establishes a framework for an effective system of comprehensive emergency management, the purpose of which is to: 1. Reduce the vulnerability of people and communities of this state to loss of life, injury, or damage and loss of property resulting from natural, technological or man-made emergencies, catastrophes, or hostile military or paramilitary action; 2. Prepare for prompt and efficient response and recovery activities to protect lives and property affacted by emergencies; 3. Respond to emergencies using all systems, plans and resources necessary to preServe the health, safety and welfare of persons affected by the emergency; 4. Recover from emergencies by providing for the rapid and orderly '-' Basic, Page 1 NOV 30 00 09:188 ma"'~d 561-462-1774 p.2 Attachment 1 COMPREHENSIVE EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT PLAN 1998 FEBRUARY 1, 1998 \¡., implementation of restoration and rehabilitation programs for persons and property affected by emergencies; and 5. Assist in anticipation, recognition, appraisal, prevention, and mitigation of emergencies that may be caused or aggravated by inadequate planning for, and regulation of, public and private facilities and land use. B. SCOPE 1 . The CEMP establishes fundamental polrcies, program strategies and assumptions. 2. The CEMP establishes a concept of operations spanning the direction and control of an emergency from initial monitoring through post- disaster response, recovery and mitigation. 3. . The CEMP defines interagency and intergovernmental coordination mechanisms to facilitate delivery of immediate assistance; ir-cluding direction and control of intrastate, interstate and federal response and recovery assistance. 4. The CEMP assigns specific functional responsibifities to appropriate state agencies and organizations, as well as outlines methods to coordinate with the private sector and voluntary Qrganizations. 5. The CEMP addresses the various types of emergencies which are likely to occur, from local emergencies, to minor, major or catastrophic disasters. \¡., 6. The CEMP identifies actions that state response and recovery organizations will take, in coordination with county and federal counterparts as appropriate, regardless of the magnitude of the disaster. II. SITUATION This section of the CEMP provides a summary of the state's population, the major hazards to which the state is vulnerable, and several assumptions that were considered in the planning process. More detailed hazard analysis information is in the State of Florida Hazard Mitigation Plan (February 1994). A. VULNERABlUTY ANALYSIS (DEMOGRAPHICS) The State of Florida's population was estimated at 14,149,317 in 1995 ("1996 Florida Statistical Abstract," 13ed., Bureau of Economic and Business Research, College of Business Administration, University of Florida). By the year 2000, the population is projected to be over 15.4 million. In addition to a tremendous residential population, millions of tourist visit the State each year.

GENERAL Hazard Mitigation includes activities that contribute to the prevention or alleviation of adverse occurrences resulting from the impact of hazardous incidents, natural or manmade. All disaster preparedness efforts should be directed towards public safety and the protection of lives and properties. These efforts can be effected by long-term hazard mitigation programs~ 1. The individuals who have employed hazard mitigation actions prior to disaster situations are not subjected to the concern ·and despair that grip the majority of people who were not fortunate enough to have taken the necessary precautionary measures. 2. The long-term goal of hazard mitigation includes: '-' a. Preservation and enhancement of beneficial uses of hazard prone areas. b. Protection of lives and properties through the reduction or avoidance of unnecessary and uneconomical uses of hazardous areas. C. Protection of natural systems that serve as hazard moderation of mitigation functions. 3. The major activities that avoid or reduce the negative impacts of hazards are the observances of strict building application of necessary law enforcement measures. 4. With proper training and strict control, it is maintained that negative impacts to the populace and their activities by hurricanes, coastal storms, severe flood occurrences, urban or stormwater runoffs, forestry and grass fires and hazardous materials accidents can be minimized. ~ St. LUC1e County Camprenen.1ve Emergency Management Plan Annex 11 - Page 17 Attachment 4 FLOOD MANAGEMENT PLAN OF LMS DOCUMENT '-" The LMS Document contains a component on flood management.

ANDERSON December 14,2000 Joseph F. Myers, Director Department of Community Affairs Division of Emergency Management 2555 Shumard Oak Boulevard Tallahassee, Florida 32399-2199 Dear Mr. Myers: Please accept this grant application for the following St. Lucie County Priority Projects. Through analysis of the County's most important projects on the Local Mitigation Strategy Prioritized List, staff requests $157,500 in Trust Funds to: · Hire a consultant to prepare a Wildfire Mitigation Plan for $125,000; · Provide copies of draft deliverables for review by committee members, provide copies of final plan to committee members, Commissioners and City Councils, purchase disks for the mapping deliverables for each committee member and cover any GIS mapping costs for $25,000; and, · Pay indirect Administrative Costs of$7,500. ~ During the 1999 wildfires in St. Lucie County approximately 1,200 acres ofland was destroyed. Of this 54 residential units were totally destroyed and another 76 homes were damaged. The total dollar value for this destruction was $5,066,776. In addition, another $1,000,000 was spent for uninsured losses. After the damage the County received during the 1999 wildfires, a Wildfire Mitigation Plan is necessary to detennine the roles of the County, Cities and Fire District as well as Emergency Management and the Division of Forestry in the case of another wildfire crisis. This Mitigation Plan will also provide a mitigation process for pre-disaster. By looking at what can be done to minimize the potential of a wildland fire, the cost of a fire will be less due to less damage occurring. The County hopes to protect the residential and commercial properties through a comprehensive plan of action. The County will have to enter into a fonnal RFPlbid process to ensure that all consultants have an opportunity to bid on the project. St. Lucie County will provide the following assurances: that only those entities identified in the application are involved in the proposed project; that the application is made without collusion with any other entity submitting an application; that the application is, in all respects, fair and in good faith, without fraud or collusion; and that the signer of the application has full authority to bind the applicant and all other parties. I herby certify that these assurances are true and accurate and that the County is fully committed to completing this project in one year from the date of contract signing. If you have any questions regarding this grant application, please contact Jack Southard, Public Safety Director at (561) 462-1736.

If applicable, identify which emergency management priority, as identified in the Notice of Fund Availability, the project address. Clearly link the project to the priority. [Maximum score 150 points] '-" The goal of this grant application is the, preparation and implementation of a countywide wildfire mitigation plan. This plan will bring together the three municipalities within the County as well as the Fire District and other outside agencies. If this grant application is funded, the proposed project will promote, facilitate and implement a portion of the St. Lucie County Local Mitigation' Plan (Priority 4B) and will improve the emergency management capabilities for preparedness, response and recovery during a wildfire event (priority 4C). The preparation of a wildfire mitigation plan is identified as Project Number 71 on the County's Local Mitigation Strategy prioritized Project List. Funding the Wildfire Mitigation Plan project will fulfill Notice of Fund Availability Priority Area B since it assists in the implementation of the County's Local Mitigation Strategy (LMS) Prioritized Project List. Wildfire Mitigation Plan: St. Lucie County Emergency Management and the Local Mitigation Strategy Committee detennined that the project under consideration is necessary to minimize chaos during a wildfire event. To protect the functioning of the county's and municipal governments emergency operations during a fire event and to provide for the safety of the citizens of the county, the preparation of a wildfire ~ mitigation plan should be completed and implemented. Within, S1. Lucie County most wildfires occur during Florida's dry season, from January through May. The Division of Forestry and/or other federal fire control personnel protects approximately, one-third of the total land within St. Lucie County. However, due to limited state and federal resources, the St. Lucie County Fire District responds to most wildfires and is supported by the Florida Division of Forestry. The City of Port S1. Lucie and the unincorporated areas north and west of Fort Pierce 'are particularly vulnerable to wildfire at the urban interface zone. In the spring of 1999, St. Lucie County experienced three days of uncontrolled wildfires that destroyed approximately 1,200 acres of land and 54 homes in Port S1. Lucie plus, damaged an additional 76 homes. The total estimated damages to the 130 structures were $5,066,776.00 with uninsured losses estimated at more than $1,000,000.00 additional dollars. Direct expenses incurred by St. Lucie County in fighting these fires were $795,556.00, and an additional $40,597.00 were incurred by Martin and Palm Beach County as they assisted St. Lucie County in their fire suppression efforts. If the County had an adopted fire mitigation plan in effect and implemented the plan, there is a potential that the overall cost of the damage and the amount of damage could have been far less than the resulting damages. '-" During the fire suppression efforts, the roles of the governmental entities working with the fire district became very convoluted. Thereby, the efforts of the Fire District were 1 \...- diminished due to overcoming the political arena. The Wildfire Mitigation Plan will emphasize the role each governmental entity will play in the event of a wildfire occurring. By implementing a wildfire plan, the County will be able to insure that the most appropriate and best practices are utilized to contain the fire with the least amount of damage to residential and commercial properties. During the Port St. Lucie wildfires in 1999, due to inconsistencies over directions, there was mass confusion at roadway intersections within the impacted areas. It was very difficult to contain the fire due to citizen's attempting to enter into areas that were off limits due to the fire. The Fire District was unable to communicate effectively with the other agencies called in to help contain the fires. One goal of the Wildfire Mitigation Plan will be to provide a specific role to each individual entity as the crisis unfurls. In this manner, the Sheriff's volunteer citizen group may be called upon to direct traffic, which in turn, will free up the Sheriff and Fire District personnel to focus completely on citizen safety and containing the fire. This in turn will help to keep the intersections within the county functioning, in order, to ensure public safety for the citizens, law enforcement, emergency personnel and County personnel that are trying to make the roadways passable. In addition; if it is necessary to obtain additional machinery or equipment, the Fire District will already have established contacts and know which organization has the equipment on standby. ~ If through a wildfire mitigation plan, the County can minimize damage to citizen's homes and property, all 180,000 citizens of this county would benefit from it. The law enforcement and emergency personnel could focus their time on the major problems, such as fire suppression, emergency evacuation, medical assistance, etc., instead of the minor problems, such as directing traffic away from the area under crisis, ensuring that the citizens do not enter into dangerous areas, and protecting homes from vandalism. At the present time, there are no funds in the County budget to cover the development and implementation of a wildfire mitigation plan. Approximately $157,500.00 will be required to develop and implement a Wildfire Mitigation Plan. By preparing a wildfire mitigation plan, the County can have confidence that the internal emergency opera~ions would work at its peak performance. In addition, delays and confusion at roadway intersections can be minimized within impacted areas, allowing for a peak traffic operating system and ensuring citizen safety. Providing a safe process to be implemented on a countywide basis, if a wildfire occurs is important, as it will reduce the number of fatalities, reduce property damage and provide an effective tool for open communication between the county and other municipalities. The preparation and implementation of a Wildfire Mitigation Plan will further the identified goals and requirements of the following local and state statues, rules or plan and will be submitted as part of the final submittal packet: ~ . Florida Statues Chapter 252.35 Emergency Management Powers; Division of Emergency Management; . Florida Statues Chapter 252.36 Emergency Management powers of the Governor; 2 ~ . State Comprehensive Plan Goal 7, Policy 23 and Goal 21, Policies 5 and 7; and, . County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan, Emergency Support Function #4. 2. Identify the immediate tangible emergency management benefits (short term projects, i.e. _ 12 months or less in duration), or, reasonable expectation of long term emergency management benefits coupled with the availability of resources (other than this grant amount) to continue implementation of the project past the term of the award (long term projects, i.e. - duration of longer than 12 months). Also, identify the number of emergency management organizations or the targeted population area whose emergency management needs will be directly benefited by the project. [Maximum score 75 points] The immediate tangible emergency management benefits that will occur once the wildfire mitigation plan is complete will benefit emergency preparedness for several years. Upon implementation, the Wildfire Mitigation Plan will provide a plan of action and mitigation procedures in the event of a wildfire event. The plan itself will not be a static document. The plan should be updated periodically to reflect new technical information and necessary changes when implemented following a crisis. Upon a crisis occurring, the Fire District and Emergency Management Team may note necessary changes, which will insure that the plan is effective for what it was required/requested to do. If the contracts are signed in April 2001, the County should be able to hire a consultant through the ~ Request for Bid process and contract for the services to be completed by June 2002. Upon completion of the wildfire mitigation plan, the short-term benefits will be a complete mapping of wildfire prone areas. In turn, the Fire District in coordination with the County and Division of Forestry can provide information 'on reducing the existing fuel sources and ways to reduce property damage in the event of a wildfire. The long- term benefits of this project will be long-term protection for the 180,000 citizens of St. Lucie County and the private property of these citizens. Upon implementation of the plan, the ultimate long-term benefit of the Wildfire Mitigation Plan will be to insure that in the event that a wildfire occurs and it becomes uncontained, the Fire District and Emergency Management will have the most appropriate and best practices to utilize to ensure the least amount of damage to residential and commercial properties. The long-range tangible emergency management benefits will occur if another wildfire outbreak occurs. The plan itself will provide a countywide effort to prepare, adopt and implement a plan that is acceptable to all players. The plan of action outlined within the Wildfire Mitigation Plan will provide all parties involved in the crisis with a certain role and provide a better response to the citizens in order to reduce property damage and the chance of injury to the citizens of the county. This grant application proposes to hire a consultant to work with St. Lucie County staff, Port St. Lucie staff, City of Ft. Pierce staff, the St. Lucie County Fire District Staff, Village of St. Lucie staff and citizen groups to design a plan that meets the needs of St. Lucie County during a wildfire event. The ~ 3 immediate tangible benefit that will occur by the grant completion deadline includes a ~ plan that has the following goal: The reduction of potential costs and losses to life, homes, businesses and public infrastructure from wildland fire within St. Lucie County; One of the most important short and long-term benefits that will occur from the preparation of a wildfire mitigation plan is the communication between the County, Municipal Governments, St. Lucie County Fire District and the citizens of St. Lucie County. CUITently, the County does not have funds budgeted to assist in the design of the wildfire mitigation plan. County staff time will be available for project management and quality assurances. 3. Describe the project's consistency with the State Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan and any applicable local comprehensive emergency management plans. [Maximum score 100 points] ~ The preparation of the Wildfire Mitigation Plan is consistent with page 1, - Purpose - #1 of the State Comprehensive Emergencv Management Plan 1998, because it will reduce the vulnerability of people and communities of this state to loss of life, injury, or damage by ensuring a process for response and outlining mitigation efforts that can take piace, prior to a wildfire. occurring. By ensuring that a plan of action is in place the county will continue to function, loss of life and property will be minimized because people will be able to evacuate more safely, and the roles will be identified for each person assisting in the crisis. County Staff in the dispatch center can notify road and bridge personnel where they are needed to assist in the crisis, to remove debris in the road or in other areas to facilitate as smooth evacuation as possible. A Wildfire Mitigation Plan is also consistent with purposes #2, #3, #4 and #5: prepare for prompt and efficient response and recovery activities to protect lives and property affected by emergencies; respond to emergencies using all systems; recover from emergencies by providing rapid and orderly implementation of restoration and rehabilitation programs; and assist in appraisal, prevention and mitigation of the emergency. A Wildfire Mitigation Plan is consistent with the State of Florida Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 1998 Emergency Support Function (ESF) 4 - Firefighting Section. Page 1 of ESF 4 states in the purpose section "ESF 4 agencies will provide State support to local governments and to describe the use of State resources to detect and suppress urban, rural and wildland fires resulting from, or occurring coincidentally with a significant disaster condition or event." \.. In addition, the Wildfire Mitigation Plan is consistent with the State of Florida Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan 1998 Emergency Support Function (ESF) 5 _ Information and Planning Section. Section 1 of ESF 5 indicates, "ESF 5's primary function is to facilitate incident action planning that will set priorities, develop 4 '-' \....r ~ approaches and devise solutions for future response operation. Planning efforts will be enhanced through the collection, processing and dissemination of information to be used in the response and recovery phases of a disaster." Page 2 of the ESF 5 states in the preparedness section "ESF 5 agencies will maintain and update needed computer data and programs, maps, critical facility information, evacuation studies, demographics and critical county data." The mapping procedures proposed to be incorporated into the Wildfire Mitigation Plan will assist the Emergency Support Teams during a wildfire crisis. Further, these mapping efforts will indicate ~hose areas that are susceptible to wildfire breakouts. This will provide incentives for the development of criteria that will help to eliminate fuel sources, thereby, reducing the chance of a wildfire occurrence, resulting in the minimization of property damages. The development of a Wildfire Mitigation Plan is consistent with the County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan Emergency Support Function (ESF) 4 - Fire Fighting Section. Page 4-3 identifies the concept of operation of the County Emergency Management Plan. Further, Pages 4-4 and 4-5 provides for the responsibilities of the parties involved in the wildfire. As indicated in Section A, the St. Lucie County Fire District is the primary agency taking the most active role in the process. The fire district is responsible for coordinating with the other agencies involved. 4. Discuss why this particular method and approach was chosen. [Maximum score 100 points] One of the priI11;ary methods to protect the citizens of St. Lucie County in the event of a wildfire crisis is to have a plan of action in place prior to the event. The next step is to identify the potential predisaster efforts that can be made to eliminate, reduce or minimize the damage that may occur during a wildfire. This approach of preparing a Wildfire Mitigation Plan that is countywide was chosen as it will allow a range of participants to be included within the steering group: the members will be from St. Lucie County, City of Fort" Pierce, City of Port St. Lucie, St. Lucie Village, St. Lucie County Fire District, along with interested citizens. The steering committee will be required to work together to address a need that has occurred within the last few years in the County. In 1999, St. Lucie County experienced a minimum of three days of out of control wildfires. Before, the wildfires could be brought under control 1,200 acres of land had been destroyed, approximately 54 homes in Port St. Lucie were destroyed and an additional 76 homes were damaged. The total dollar value of this destruction for insured houses was $5,066,776.00. Uninsured losses equated to a dollar value of $1,000,000.00 in addition to the insured figure. Since there is no way to predict where a wildfire will occur, the best method for eliminating the chance of a wildfire is planning for the event and providing incentives to eliminate fuel sources before a fire' occurs. The Wildfire Mitigation Plan will outlay methods that can be taken by the County and Municipalities to work towards the elimination of fuel sources; thereby, protecting the personnel property of the citizens of St. Lucie County. 5 ~ County Administrative Staff, Emergency Management Staff and the St. Lucie County Fire District determined after the 1999 wildfires in St. Lucie County a plan of action was necessary to insure that in the future if a wildfire occurs that the most appropriate and best practices are utilized to contain the fire with the least amount of damage as possible. Thus, the only dependable method to ensure that the County on a countywide basis is prepared for a wildfire is to ensure that a plan that is acceptable to all players is formulated, adopted and implemented. If the grant review board requests bid information, the County will provide the information upon sending the request for bids out. The County will be providing an in-kind match for the preparation of the Wildfire Mitigation Plan. The implementation of the plan will occur upon adoption. Determining predisaster mitigation techniques to potentially limit fuel sources, thereby eliminating the chance for a wildfire to occur, will be a major implementing tool. In addition, the plan will contain a procedure to follow that will automatically go into effect, upon a wildfire occurring. The thought behind this is that through the appropriate planning process; a fire, which is out of control, can be contained faster with less property damages and less loss of life. The plan will contain implementation procedures for the following: agency roles, areas susceptible to fire, predisaster mitigation efforts, code revisions that emphasize firewise development and postdisaster mitigation efforts. ~ Primarily the grant funds will be used to: . To have a consultant prepare a wildfire ffiltlgation plan for $125,000. The Consultant shall be responsible for the following: a. Organize and Administer a Wildfire Mitigation Technical . Advisory Committee; b. Identify data needs, design and administer a wildfire mitigation survey; c. Develop a GIS database; d. Identify mitigation options; e. Develop guiding principles for the plan; f. Document and map known vegetative fuel sources and density of the sources by area (the mapping will utilize ArcView GIS mapping and Spatial Analyst modeling); g. Document known weather patterns that cause fires and those areas most frequently experiencing wildfires; h. Provide a history of fire occurrence; i. Provide information on the existing wildfire management structure in St. Lucie County (roles and responsibilities); J. Develop or determine an existing Hazard Risk Rating System to complete the risk assessment of fire prone areas; k. Provide education and public awareness on firewise safety measures; and, 1. Provide data on the known wildfire mitigation initiatives, relevant fire ordinances, fire suppression equipment, manpower and coordination activities. ~ 6 '-' · To provide copies of documents in a draft form and the final report to the committee members $25,000. · To provide for indirect administrative costs for monitoring of the grant, $7,500. The County match f<;>r this project will include: · The time of the Public Safety Manager as Project Manager for $5,000; and · The time of the Assistant Community Development Director and staff planner for $12,500. The total match for this grant is $17,500 while the total grant request is $157,500. Since the County's budget was already prepared for this year a greater match toward completing this project was not available. However, the County has been actively working on mitigation programs for disaster preparedness. County staff will oversee the consultant to ensure that the contract requirements are fulfilled and ensure that the final product satisfies the needs of the county. In addition, to the County staff taking part in the Fire Mitigation Committee, there will be additional costs from staff salaries for the City of Port St. Lucie, City of Fort Pierce, St. Lucie Village, St. Lucie County Fire District and the Division of Forestry. These costs were not incorporated into the budget, as they do not have a direct correlation to St. Lucie County's budget. '-' 5. Identify Applicant's project match. [Maximum score 50 points] Since the County's budget was already prepared for this year there is not a monitory commitment for this project. The County has agreed to in-kind services match, through staff salaries. However, the County has been actively working on mitigation programs for disaster preparedness. County staff will oversee the contractor to ensure that the contract requirements are fulfilled and ensure that the final product satisfies the needs of the county. In conjunction with the County, there will be other staff members taking part in the Fire Mitigation Committee; this includes staff from the City of Fort Pierce, the City of Port St. Lucie, St. Lucie Village, the St. Lucie County Fire District and the Division of Forestry. The overall match for in-kind services ($12,500) will be approximately 7% of the overall budget. The Total Grantee Cost for the project ($12,500), which includes salary and benefits, is also 7% of the overall budget. Staff has allocated $7,500 for indirect administrative costs from the grant. The EMPA Grant request ($157,500) will account for 93% of the overall budget for the project. \...- 7 6. Discuss the Applicant's experience and ability applied to the project. [Maximum score of 25 points] '--' The County has designated Mr. Jack T. Southard, Public Safety Manager, as the project manager for this grant. The County has employed Mr. Southard for approximately 24 years. In his capacity with the County, Mr. Southard has been the director of 911 and from 1989 to the present he has headed the Public Safety Department. In his Public Safety Manager capacity, Mr. Southard oversees Eme,rgency Management, E911 and the Marine Safety Division. 7. Tiebreaker - Answer the following two questions: 1) Has the applicant's jurisdiction been impacted by an environmental clean-up initiative? If so, describe the initiative and its impact on the Applicant. ~ St. Lucie County has been impacted by two environmental clean-up initiatives. The first environmental problem occuITed when the Lykes fertilizer plant had a spill and caught on fire. The SUITounding areas were required to be evacuated for a 24-hour period. The Florida Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) became the responsible agency for ensuring that the contaminated site was cleaned and safe for the citizens., In their efforts to ensure the safety of the citizens and contain the spill pEP, cordòned off the area and brought in clean dirt to absorb the contaminants from the spill. This dirt was then removed and disposed of on a designated improved site. The second environmental initiative occuITed when the Fort Pierce Utilities had a major break in the primary pipe carrying sewage from the mainland under the Indian River Lagoon to the barrier island sewage treatment facility. The sewage treatment facility inadvertently pumped millions of gallons of untreated sewage into the Lagoon and sUITounding waterways. This caused a major contamination of the Lagoon. Since the sewage was then washed into the sUITounding waterways by the flow of the tide many of the beaches within St. Lucie County were closed until the clean-up process was complete and the water became safe. 2) Is the Applicant located in a Front Porch Community? If so, please describe the location. No, St. Lucie County does not have a Front Porch Community. CUITently, the is an initiative to have a portion of the City of Fort Pierce be designated as a Front Porch Community, but at this time, no official designation has occuITed. ~ 8 \...

This facility will also be used as a Disaster Command Post, Primary Special Needs Shelter, 911/EOC back up and an evacuation area for horses and other animals in the event of a natural disaster. This is also a designated Trailhead for the Greenway and Trail Program. Reason For Funding: Funding is needed to expand and develop the facilities. The project will create a new Fair Association opportunity and a Special Needs Disaster Shelter that is badly needed in the County. The Fair has operated at the airport for 37 years and has been required to relocate to allow economic development of the Airport on Airport Property. ~ St. Lucie County Multi-Purpose Regional Fairground Facility \....- Page two A substantial local match for the requested funding has been made available through the purchase of the land and ownership of the land by the County in the amount of $1,000,000. Furthermore, the County has allocated $250,000 for the . construction of a covered livestock exhibition area. In-kind services this far have been provided in the amount of $100,000.

St. Lucie County Multi-Purpose Regional Fairground Facility '-" A. Geographic Information - The 200-acre site is located in the heart of St. Lucie County, west of the major population centers, bordered 'on the north by State Road 70 and on the south by County Road 712. The site is geographically centered to serve the four county area of Okeechobee, St. Lucie, Indian River, and Martin Counties. This site is within 6 miles of the Florida Turnpike and 1-95 Interchanges along with being located outside the emergency planning zone for the nuclear power plant. B. Agricultural - Fair Association will hold the annual county fair, along with the livestock shows/sales and auctions. Facility will be used for agriculture training and education, trade shows, equine training/specialty classes, 4H events, farm equipment safety training exhibitions and rodeos. Building will include stable facilities for horses and adjoining arena. Emergency collection site for large animals, an estimated 200 head of horses and residing east of US Highway 1 in the areas that are subject to flooding and wildfires. This facility will provide a safe and secure location for livestock and large animals in emergency situations in which residents are instructed to evacuate. C. Disaster Command/Special Needs Shelter - Facility will be used as a stag.ing and dìstribution area of equipment along with the capability of providing for regional staging of resources and primary command post during recovery stages of a disaster. It would be the only Special Needs Population Shelter outside the 10-mile emergency planning zone. Used as an alternate Emergency Operations Center outside the EPZ should we lose location. Currently we have inadequate locations for the evacuation of school children during a nuclear power plant emergency, this facility will help provide needed shelter. '-' D. Facilitv - The 30,000 sf structure will meet Category 3 hurricane design requirements, accommodate over 500 people, contain a full service kitchen, restrooms, and showers and dining for 250 people. Building interior will have folding walls to provide for more versatile use. As an emergency center the facility will contain emergency lighting, phones, data facilities and emergency generator system to provide reliability in emergency situations.

TO: BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS SUBMITTED BY (DEPT): Public Works BACKGROUND: On October 24, 2000, staff informed the BOCC that the Transportation outreach Program (TOP) grant application cycle has been initiated and that staff wOl.lld be applying for several projects. After meeting with staff and determining which projects could be completed in the five- year time requirement, staff request BOCC approval to submit the following six applications: South AlA Multi-Use Sidewalk _ $4.125 million, Indrio / Kings Highway Intersection Improvements - $1.5 million, St. Lucie West Blvd./I-95 Interchange Improvements - $3 million,. Midway Road Right of vlay Acquisition - $3.5 million between 25~(\ Street and 1-95, South Header Canal Road Pavement Project _ $2.5 million and Airport Industrial Park Infrastructure Improvements - $1.5 million. Matching funds for the South AlA Sidewalk project will come from Park Impact Fees ($675,000) and Road Impact Fee ($190,000) already allocated for Des~gn and Permitting. Matching funds of $500,000 for the Indrio / Kings Highway Intersection Improvement is from the Road Impact Fee account. Since the County already has $200,000 allocated for a bridge replacement at Orange and Header Canal Road, this will be put in as a match. The County does not propose any matches for the other three projects. The Board was briefed on the Transportation outreach Program at the October 24, 2000 Board of County Commissioners meeting. Staff recommends that the Board authorize the County Admfnistrator to sign the grant applications and authorize staff to submit the TOP applications to Florida Department of Transportation.

LUCIE COUNTY FUNDING REQUEST SUMMARY November 2000 Funding Request: Funding Agency: AIRPORT ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT PROJECT - Construction of Airport Industrial Park West at St. Lucie County International Airport In northern St. Lucie County, just north of St. Lucie Blvd. west of US 1, east of Kings Highway $2,910,000 Transportation Outreach Program (TOP) for 2001-2002 Project Title: Project Location: Project Description: The Economic Development Plan for St. Lucie County recommends the construction of a new ISO-acre industrial park on the west side of St. Lucie County International Airport. The Airport currently has a 100-acre industrial park that has about only eight one-acre lots still available. Because the existing industrial park has only smaller one-acre lots, the County has had to turn away businesses seeking larger sites. As a result, the region has lost a considerable number of new jobs. The TOP funding request will assist with the development of a new ISO-acre Airport Industrial Park West designed to accomodate businesses requiring buildings of 50,000 square feet or larger. ~ The County's Economic Development Department has partnered with the St. Lucie County Chamber of Commerce and the Treasure Coast workforce development programs to recruit new businesses to the area. However, because of the traditional reliance on agriculture, there are few sites in the region that offer comparatively inexpens~ve start-up costs. Since the County already owns the proposed ISO-acre Industrial Park, the sites can be ready to be leased within two years. By eliminating the need to purchase land and invest in infrastructure, the business entrepreneur can invest his resources in developing the product or service, and ultimately create jobs for the community. According to the Florida Department of Labor, the Fort Pierce - Port St. Lucie Metropolitan Statistical Area had the second highest unemployment rate among the State's metropolitian areas, with 7.2 percent of available workers without jobs. This is much higher than the statewide average of 4.2 percent. Since St. Lucie County's unemployment rate rises and drops with seasonal and agricultural shifts, there is a strong work force looking forward to a job that provides steady, dependable year round employment. Once the infrastructure at the Airport Economic Development Project is constructed, a coordinated group is already in place to bring the goal of 2,000 new jobs to fruition. \... The total state and local funds required to construct the new ISO-acre Airport Industrial Park West with fourteen lots that can quickly be leased to the business community is $3,765,000. This includes a TOPs funding request of $1,400,000 for the engineering and construction of the entrance road and $1,510,000 for the installation of potable water and wastewater lines so businesses do not have to sacrifice their lot size for a septic tank drainage field.

ST. LUCIE COUNTY FUNDING REQUEST SUMMARY November 2000 Project Title: Project Location: Funding Request: Funding Agency: South Hutchinson Island AlA Multi-use Trail Eastern St. Lucie County between Ft. Pierce and Martin County $4,125,000 + $865,000 match Transportation Outreach Program (TOP) for 2001-2002 Project Description: The 11 mile long project is located on South Hutchinson Island in St. Lucie County. The northern tenninus begins at the City of Ft. Pierce limits and southern tenninus connects to a sidewalk at Ocean Towers condominium complex. From this point a sidewalk connects to a sidewalk in Martin County that runs for approximately 7 miles on South Hutchinson Island and over the bridge to the mainland. Since there is a multi-use trail already constructed in Indian River County and in St. Lucie County on North Hutchinson Island, this project is a critical connection by providing a link to Martin County's multi-use trail. This project is identified in the State's Five Year Implementation Plan for the Flor~da Greenways and Trails System. South Hutchinson Island AlA Multi-Use Trail will be an 8-foot wide sidewalk facility separated from A 1 A by a swale. It will be primarily a straight path and will only meander to avoid wetland impacts, existing structures and access to existing and proposed facilities. Engineering and design has been completed. Pennit applications have been submitted to Anny Corps of Engineers, South Florida Water Management District and FDOT. The project will be located in AlA right-of-way and park property controlled by St. Lucie County. '-" FDOT District 4 perfonned a preliminary review and detennined that use ofthe existing bridge shoulders is prohibited. To correct this safety deficiency, the project cost for the bridges over the Florida Power and Light St. Lucie Power Plant canals will be over $1,000,000. One painted steel bridge lOft wide x 210ft span will cost approximately $210,000 and the bridge with a 280 ft span will cost approximately $350,000 and a smaller 30 ft span will cost $20,000 each for the three smaller creeks. The price includes fabrication and delivery. Contractor fees for installation costs are typically and additional 30% to 50% ofthe bridge costs. Most importantly, this project will enhance Florida's economic groWth and competitiveness by providing a new recreational opportunity to bring tourists and residents into the small redeveloping towns. In a 1992 study, the National Park Service estimated the average economic activity associated with three multi-purpose trails in Florida, California and Iowa was $1.5 million annually. In 1991, 108.7 million people in the U.S. spend $59 million on wildlife-related recreation in the U.S. Since the first leg to the Great Florida Birding Trail will include sites along this multi-use trail, the local communities should benefit. A 1993-4 study found that birding in the Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary had an economic impact of $9.4 million on the local southwest Florida communities. The small coastal communities need this project to bring residents and tourists into the area for year-round business support since the small businesses barely survive during the summer months when winter residents are not here. ~ Sponsor Contact Person: Name: Dennis Murphy, Assistant Community Development Director Address: 2300 Virginia Avenue, Ft.

LUCIE COUNTY FUNDING REQUEST SUMMARY November 2000 Project Title: Project Location: Funding Request: Funding Agency: St. Lucie West Boulevard / 1-95 Interchange Completion Project St. Lucie West Blvd and 1-95, in south central St. Lucie County. $4,000,000 Transportation Outreach Program (TOP) for 2001-2002 Project Description: This project involves the completion, construction of the eastbound lanes, of the existing interchange of St. Lucie West Blvd and 1-95 (exit 62c), in south central St. Lucie County. The scope of the project includes the construction of approximately 500 feet of new bridge structure overtop the existing north & southbound lanes of 1-95, along with associated ramp modifications. This new structure would be the second half of the original intersection design for this interchange. Signalization of one or more ramp movements may be required. Lighting adjustments would be required. Utility relocations are expected to be minimal since . all FPL power lines were located with the ultimate construction of this interchange in mind when the first half of it was built. The stormwater design for the interchange contemplated the construction of the second half of this bridge project and all of the retentIon areas have been sized to meet this ultimate design. The approach slopes for the bridge structures have already been rough graded for this second bridge. Additional fill material requirements can be expected to be minimal. No additional right-of-way is required. All necessary right-of-way was previously acquired and conveyed to the State of Florida. '-' In 1988, the Development of Regional Impact known as St. Lucie West was approved in west/central Port St. Lucie. This development area encompasses approximately 8 square miles. At build out, this project will include approximately 12,000 dwelling units; 1,500,000 square feet of commercial; 3,000,000 square feet of industrial and 1,000,000 square feet of office. As part of the original DR! analysis, a new interchange was proposed with 1-95 along an extension of a local arterial known as Prima Vista Boulevard. This interchange (now referenced as Exit 62C) was approved in 1989 with Phase I construction beginning in 1989. Phase I construction was completed in 1990. The Prima Vista Boulevard (which is now referred to as St. Lucie West Boulevard) interchange with 1-95 provides vital access for the central areas of Port St. Lucie to 1-95. Prior to this interchange being constructed, there were only two access points from 1-95 into the City of Port St. Lucie. One access was available at the extreme north end of the city and the other at the southwest end of the community. The City of Port St. Lucie encompasses approximately 85 square miles and, at build out, will contain approximately 350,000 residents. Currently the population is at about 85,000. The addition of the. St. Lucie West Blvd Interchange has provided for the development of a major transportation and economic development corridor along St. Lucie West Blvd., Peacock Blvd and Bayshore Blvd. By providing access to 1-95, this interchange has opened up new areas for community and economic development that would otherwise have been impossible to accommodate given the nature of the existing local network of residential streets left as a result of the communities original design by the General Development Corporation. \...- When this interchange was constructed, only half of the interchange was completed. Currently the level of service standard for this interchange is LOS C. This LOS however, is expected to ~ \....- ~ degrade to LOS D or lower as the remaining commercial and industrial areas in the St. Lucie West development area are filled in. In addition, the St. Lucie MPO's 2025 Long Range Transportation Plan has identified this segment ofSt. Lucie West as warranting improvement. Prima Vista Boulevard/ St. Lucie West Boulevard is one of only two continuous east/west routes in the City of Port St. Lucie. This roadway corridor is one the primary evacuation routes for the community at large.

LUCIE COUNTY FUNDING REQUEST SUMMARY November 2000 Project Title: Project Location: Header Canal Road Reconstruction for Agriculture Industry Western St. Lucie County between Orange Avenue and Okeechobee Boulevard $2,500,000 + $200,000 match Transportation Outreach Program (TOP) for 2001-2002 Funding Request: Funding Agency: Project Description: This is a road reconstruction project for South Header Canal Road that will enhance the movement of agricultural products within St. Lucie County and to other destinations via State Road 70, Interstate - 95 or the Florida Turnpike. This reconstruction project will preserve the existing infrastructure of this north-south road as well as the two parallel roads. If this project is not completed, the two adjacent roads and this road will deteriorate faster and will have an increase in accidents due to the decline in pavement conditions. ~ Header Canal Road was constructed during the 1940's by.digging up the canal and using the material for road fill, the sub-base and base material is constantly settling and forming dips and cavities in the road's surface. Since some ofthis material is old muck and clays, the County will have to reconstruct the road completely. The insufficient base material will have to be dug up and hauled to a suitable site. New fill will have to be brought in and prepared before paving. Since this road has been the primary farm to market road in St. Lucie County for almost 60 years, its condition continues to decline rapidly. The only way to fix the problem is to reconstruct it completely. It is expensive to maintain on a continual basis. Due to the heavy truck traffic and length of time to repair the potholes, a full repair crew has to be used to slow and divert traffic from the work site. This project ensures that the agriculture eCQnomy of St. Lucie County will remain competitive since there will be a safer, improved travel corridor for produce and citrus carrying trucks. In 1998, St. Lucie County had 103,894 acres planted in Citrus, more than any other county in the state of Florida. This approximates 400,000 tons with an on-tree value exceeding $56 million. St. Lucie and Indian River County also produce more than 60% of all grapefruit grown in Florida of which half is exported as fresh fruit. The proposed road improvements will allow for greater use by citrus trucks, keeping these trucks off other roads while allowing better access to 1-95 and feeder roads taking grapefruit to Florida Ports and local processors. The Treasure Coast is home to more than two dozen processors and packers employing several thousand workers. By improving the pavement condition of Header Road, the state's agricultural industry will benefit significantly. If the project is not completed, agricultural trucks will have to travel longer distances and increase the wear and tear on adjacent road systems and to their trucks. The County's match for this pavement improvement project is $200,000 and will be used to replace a bridge at the intersection of Header Canal Road and Orange Avenue. This project is scheduled for the 2001/2002 work program and is identified in the Capital Improvement Plan. ......

The partial grant funding that we received last year, $ 50,000.00, has already been accepted and directed toward development of the necessary engineering plans and specifications to mov~ one step closer toward completion of the project. Our Board of County Commissioners has funded aD. additional $12,000.00 to be added to last years grant so that the project could proceed. The Board has also recently approved a Work Authorization with an Engineer to proceed with development of the plans for the project with a completion date in May of 2001. . As we discussed on the phone, the County is still needing additional funding to complete the project, the $ 1.2 million dollars requested last year could be reduced to $ 900,000.00. The reduction is possible because St. Lucie County has anticipated the formation of a Municipal Service Benefit Unit (MSBU) to provide a twenty-five percent match of$ 300,000.00. The information that you provided me, that the Govemo~' s office was interested in pursuing additional funding for projects that were partially funded last year, is certainly encouraging to the County. This project, when completed, will improve the County's economic development efforts within our existing Airport Industrial Park not only for new tenants but our existing tenants as well. ~ ,¿I I have enclosed a copy oflast years Water Advisory Panel Grant Application as well as a copy of the Board action on November 14, 2000, approval of a Work Authorization with Inwood Consulting Engineers, to proceed with design of the wastewater collection and conveyance system for the Industrial Park.

If the possibility for continued funding for this project becomes a reality I would like to know as soon as possible so that the formation of the MSBU can continue. The County has already held a public hearing noticing the intent to form the MSBU and we need to hold the first informal meeting with the participants as soon as possible if additional funding will be available next year. On behalf of our Board of County Commissioners and staff I would like to convey thanks to you and the staff at DEP. Your assistance with the Grant Applications last year and the assistance that we received with the current Grant was greatly appreciated. We are looking forward to working with your office again this year. If I can be of any further assistance with this matter, or if you need any additional information or attendance at any meetings in Tallahassee, please feel free to contact me at any time.

Project Description: This project will consist of the design, permitting and construction of a gravity wastewater collection and conveyance system for the existing St. Lucie County Airport Industrial Park. The Industrial Park consists of 106 sites that would receive wastewater service as a result of this project. Currently the entire Park is utilizing individual septic systems and the design requirements for commercial application of septic systems prohibits maximum utilization of the individual sites because of the size of the drain field. Some of the smaller business owners have experienced a loss of as much as 25% of their property to drain field construction. The loss of this property to the septic system not only hinders growth of the small businesses but also deters economic development within the Park. St. Lucie County has recently constructed a collection and conveyance system for the Airport property directly West and North of the Industrial Park. The existing Airport system will provide some of the backbone transmission lines to convey the wastewater collected by this project to the Fairwinds wastewater treatment facility which is owned and operated by St. Lucie County . The project will provide wastewater service to the individual lots within the Industrial Park. The estimated cost of the project is $ 1,200,000.00 Current Status of Project: Preliminary design and cost estimates prepared.

The existing Airport Industrial Park was identified by staff as one of the projects to apply for grant funding through this new source. The original grant application included design, pennitting and construction costs to complete a gravity collection and conveyance system for the existing Airport Industrial Park. The original application was for a total of $ 1.5 million dollars. The grant that FDEP approved is for $50,000.00 for the Industrial Park. The Grant will provide a significant portion of the funds required to design the collection and conveyance system and develop a complete set of Engineering Plans for the project. Staff has worked with Inwood Consulting Engineers, Inc. to develop a scope of work which includes geotechnical and electrical engineering as well as land surveying services. The compensation for the scope of work from Inwood Consulting Engineers, Inc. totals $61,530.00. At the August 17,2000 Budget Workshop the County Administrator, Doug Anderson, identified a source for the additional funding in the amount of$11,530.00. The additional funds will be made available from Airport Reserves account # 140-9910-599300-800. Given the lateness of this fiscal year OMB will prepare a grant budget for October 1,2000 and move the additional funding into the grant budget as well. Staff will request that the County Attorney prepare a work authorization for Inwood Consulting Engineer's, Inc. in the amount of$61,530.00. Staff will bring the Inwood work authorization back to the Board for approval. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Board accept the grant from FDEP in the amount of $50,000.00 and further requests that the Board authorize the Chairman to execute the Agreement. :OHN D. ßRUHN, District No.1.

Weare very excited that this project has come to fruition. Currently property owners in the Industrial Park must dedicate a large portion of their parcel to wastewater disposal (i.e. septic tanks and drainfields). This project will end that land use requirement and will ultimately boost development in the area while continuing to upgrade water quality. We have reviewed our fIles and concept plans of the project and have developed a scope of work and fee proposal to provide design and pennitting for the wastewater collection and conveyance system. Our proposal is based on conversations with subconsultants, our original concept plan and site visits. It is our goal to help the County realize the greatest possible benefit from these grant monies and have prepared our proposal with that in mind. Thank you for the opportunity to submit this proposal and we look forward to working with you on this project. Very truly yours, INWOOD CONSULTING ENGINEERS, INC. ~~Ç)5h,CL- David G. Coleman, P.E.

LUCIE COUNTY, FLORIDA TO: Board of County Commissioners FROM: Daniel S. McIntyre, County Attorney C.A. NO. 00-1794 DATE: November 3, 2000 SUBJECT: Smithsonian Marine Ecosystem Exhibit - Contract with Paul Jacquin &, Sons ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- BACKGROUND: Attached to this memorandum is a copy of a proposed contract with Paul Jacquin & \..r Sons (Jacquin) to construct the building where the Smithsonian Marine Ecosystem Exhibit will be featured. The proposed contract price is eight hundred twenty-two thousand two hundred fifteen and 0/100 ($822,215.00) dollars. The proposed building completion date is one hundred eighty (180) days from the date a notice to proceed is issued. Funding for the project will be addressed in a separate memorandum from the Management an'd Budget Director. The County originally proposed to use Jacquin as a construction manager pursuant to an interlocal agreement with the School District. Due to an unexpected resignation of a key District employee who was in charge of contract administration with the District's construction managers, District staff advised the County that it would be better for th~ ~ County to contract directly with Jacquin. The County is in a position where it needs to ~ '-" '-" proceed immediately to construct the building because the Smithsonian exhibit is currently stored in temporary aquariums. Smithsonian staff has indicated that it is essential that the exhibit be relocated as soon as possible. In this regard, County staff requests that the Board declare an emergency and waive the bid process. RECOMMENDATION/CONCLUSION: Staff recommends that the Board declare an emergency, waive the bid process, approve the contract with Jacquin and authorize the Chairman to sign the contract.

'-" G:\AT1Y\CONìRACT\J ACQUIN-SMITHSONIAN -2- '-- \.... '-" Neither inspection nor payment, including final payment, by the County shall relieve the Contractor from his or its obligations to do and complete the Work in accordance with this Contract. If the County deems it inexpedient to require the Contractor to correct deficient or defective Work, an equitable deduction from the contract price shall be made therefore or in the alternative, if the expense incurred by the County to correct deficient or defective Work exceeds the unpaid balance on this Contract, the Contractor shall pay the difference to the County. The liability of the Contractor and its' surety or sureties for such payment is joint and several. 6. TIME OF PERFORMANCE/DELAYS AND EXTENSIONS OF TIME The Contractor shall begin work within ten (10) calendar days after the signing, execution and delivery of written notice to proceed, and shall guarántee completion of the Contract on or before 180 calendar days from the date of notice to proceed. Commencement of the Work by the Contractor shall be deemed a waiver of this notice. The Work shall be conducted in such a manner and with sufficient labor, materials, tools, and equipment necessary to complete the Work within the time limit set forth in the Contract. In the event the construction schedule as set forth in the Contract documents is changed, the Contractor shall notify the County, in writing, of the change in schedule. Such schedule change shall not, however, extend the time. for completion unless approved by the County in writing. In the sole opinion of the County, should the organization of the Contractor, or its management, or the manner of carrying on the Work be manifestly incompetent, or inadequate to do the Work specified within the stated time, then the County shall have the right to take charge of the Work and finish it and provide the labor, materials and equipment necessary to complete the Work as planned within the required time and to charge the cost of all such Work against the Contractor and his, or its Surety shall be held responsible therefore. The Contractor fully understands and agrees that the County shall not pay for any obligation incurred or expenditure made by the Contractor prior to the effective date of the notice to proceed described above, unless the County authorizes such payment in writing. As the Contractor's only remedy for delay, the County may grant an extension of the contract time, when a controlling item of Work is delayed by any factors contemplated or not contemplated at the·time of the bid. Such extension of time may be allowed for delays occurring during the contract time period or authorized extension of the contract time. All claims for extension of time shall be made in writing to the County. Claims for delay due to inclement weather shall be made by the 10th day of the month following the month of the delay. All other claims shall be made no more than twenty (20) days after the commencement of the delay. Claims made beyond these time limits shall be null and void. Requests for extension of time shall be fully documented and shall include copies of daily logs, letters, G:\ATTY\CONTRACT\J ACQUIN-SMITHSONIAN -3- ~ shipping orders, delivery tickets, and other supporting information. In case of a continuing cause of delay only one (1) claim is necessary. Normal working weeks are based on a five (5) day week. All authorized extensions of time shall be done by Change Order. 7. DELAY DAMAGES '-" It is mutually agreed between the parties hereto that time is of the essence in the performance of this Contract. In the event the construction of the Work is not completed within the time herein specified the County will suffer damages, the amount of which is difficult if not impossible to ascertain. It is agreed, therefore, that from the compensation otherwise to be paid to the Contractor, the County may retain the sum of one hundred and 0/100 ($100.00)dollars per calendar day for each day thereafter, Sundays and holidays included, that the Work remains uncompleted. This sum shall represent the damages which the County will have sustained per calendar day from the inconvenience and expense caused to the County by the delay in the completion of the Work. This sum is not a penalty, being the liquidated damages the County will have sustained in event of such default by the Contractor. The County also reserves the right to recover actual damages for other harm which results from the delay. The Contractor shall be liable for liquidated damages even if the Contract is terminated by the County for cause or if the Contractor abandons the Work. The liability of the Contractor and· its surety or sureties for liquidated or actual damages is joint and several. 8. CONTRACT PAYMENT The County shall pay the Contractor for the performance of this Contract and completion of the project in accordance with the Contract Documents, subject to adjustment by change order, the total estimated amount in current funds being: Eight hundred twenty-two thousand two hundred fifteen and 0/100 ($822,215.00) Dollars* * The Contractor agrees to credit the County for any appropriate deducts that may be obtained through the donation of materials. In the event of conflict over the amount of the deduct, the parties agree that the architect shall be the final arbiter of the deduct amount. 9. PAYMENT SCHEDULE The County shall make payments on account of the Contract as follows: '-" G:\ArrY\CONTRACT\J ACQUIN-SMITHSONIAN -4- ~ Once each month progress payments shall be made during the process of construction in amounts not to exceed ninety percent (90~o) of the amount due on the Contract on the basis of Work completed as certified by the Contractor and approved by the County's Project Manager.

Upon completion of the Contract the Contractor shall submit evidence satisfactory to the County that all payroll material, bills, and other indebtedness incurred by the Contractor in connection with the construction of the project have been paid in full. After the Work has been inspected and approved and after the Contractor has submitted satisfactory evidence of payment, the County's Project Manager shall promptly issue a final certificate. Final payment shall be due within 10 business days after the County's Project Manager issues the final certificate. ~ The County shall pay the Contractor through payments issued by the County Finance Department in accordance with the Florida Prompt Payment Act of the Florida Statutes, Chapter 218.70, upon receipt of the certified invoice from the County Project Manager.

PUBLIC RECORDS The Contractor shall allow public access to all documents, papers, letters, or other material subject to the provisions of Chapter 119, Florida Statutes, and made or received by the Contractor in conjunction with this Contract. 13. GUARANTEE The Contractor guarantees the Work to be free from construction defects for a period of one (1) year from final payment by the County, in accordance with the guarantee requirements of the General Conditions. 14. CONTRACTOR RESPONSIBILIT'i \.. The Contractor is an independent contractor and is not an employee or agent of the County. Nothing in this Contract shall be interpreted to establish any relationship other than that of an independent contractor, between the County and the Contractor, its employees, agents, subcontractors, or assigns, during or after the performance of this Contract.

This Recreation Area includes 550 acres, 25 of which are dedicated to camping. The remainder of the area is used for fresh water fishing, hiking, bird watching, picnicking and canoeing. There are 68 camp sites including unimproved sites, water and electric hookups and water, electric and sewer hookups. Other facilities include bath facilities, washers and dryers and separate areas for group gatherings.

(Outdoor Recreation in Florida 1994, page 9.1) In addition, this project is consistent with several of the recommendations for future action--tourism, canoe trails, hiking trails and picnicking. Improvements and additions to the Savannas Recreation Area will increase the opportunity for campers and day users. Improved facilities will be more attractive to out-o.f-town visitors, increasing tourism. As changes occur, the county will develop a support group and volunteers who will begin to solìcit private funding and work with community groups to raise the awareness of the Savannas and increase its standing in the minds of residents and visitors. ~ B. 1995 RELATIVE NEED INDEX BY REGION Locate the applicant's region and circle each priority resource/facility need as proposed in the project on page 5 of this application which is included in the applicant's planning region: (7 points) l~7 ~ VIII ~ I Bicycle Riding * Hiking * Freshwater Fishing (No Boat) _....!IX Horseback Riding *Freshwater Beach Activities*Outdoor Swimming Pool Use } II Freshwater Fishing (No Boat) '" Bicycle Riding ill Bicycle Riding * Saltwater Fishing (No Boat) \..- .IV v Bicycle Riding'" Archaeologica1lHistoric Sjtes Saltwater Fishing (No Boat) '" Freshwater Beach Activities Hiking * Horseback Riding'" Freshwater Fishing (No Boat) .x.
