Analysis: In order to secure the funding, the following needed to be done: • Agreement Contact Information form, • A Grant Work Plan; and, • Certificate of Insurance Coverage or letter from the community or agency's Chief Financial. Officer stating that the Grantee is self-insured. The above information was prepared by staff and forwarded to FDEP for their preparation of the final agreement. On April 7, 2020, FDEP forwarded the final grant Agreement No. LPQ0019, which expires June 30, 2023. Staff's understanding is that the other three (3) grant agreements will be finalized for BCC approval in late June/July, 2020. Funding: The estimated sewer construction cost is $4.1 Million. The FDEP grant will pay $2,500,000 towards the construction cost.
