Background:
The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has awarded a Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP) contract from Hurricane Idelia funds to address drainage deficiencies and mitigate storm-related flooding along Michigan Avenue. This award is specifically for Phase I activities, which encompass surveying, environmental assessments, engineering, design, and permitting. At this time, Phase II (construction) activities have not yet been approved or authorized.
BAR 26-029 in the amount of $342,216 will appropriate the budget for this project. The FEMA HMGP contract requires a 25% local match, totaling $106,942.50, for Phase I. FEMA allows a 5% administrative expense and is excluded from the matching requirements. The matching portion has already been expended through the Sale Tax Fund for this project, as the contract was approved for Pre-Award in the amount of $407,400 with an effective start date of January 29, 2024.
BAR 26-029 is attached to allocate grant funds in the amount of $342,216.
Requested Action:
