INDIAN RIVER COUNTY, FLORIDA <br />AGENDA ITEM <br />Department of General Services / <br />Parks & Recreation <br />Date: August 1, 2023 <br />To: The Honorable Board of County Commissioners <br />Through: John A. Titkanich, Jr., County Administrator <br />Michael C. Zito, Deputy County Administrator <br />Beth Powell, Acting General Services Director <br />From: Wendy Swindell, Conservation Lands Manager <br />Subject: Modification to Subgrant Agreement between the Division of Emergency <br />Management and Indian River County for the Elevation of the Historic <br />Jones House (Contract Number H0566). <br />BACKGROUND: <br />The historic Jones's Pier bungalow/house, originally built circa 1921, was inundated with <br />approximately 7-9 inches of water for an extended period of time after the passing of Hurricane <br />Matthew in 2016. On February 8, 2017, the Florida Division of Emergency Management (FDEM) <br />announced the availability of Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP) funds resulting from the <br />Presidential Disaster Declaration for Hurricane Matthew. The purpose of the HMGP is to assist <br />communities in implementing hazard mitigation measures. The program is federally funded, but is <br />allocated and distributed by the State through the FDEM. <br />After receiving an estimate from a local contractor for the elevation of the historic house, County <br />staff utilized the estimated cost to apply for FDEM HMGP funding (based on an estimated project <br />cost of $78,981.00). The proposed HMGP grant reimburses 75% of the project cost ($59,235.75). <br />The application to the FDEM HMGP program was approved, and the grant was awarded to the <br />County on October 14, 2020 (DR -4283 Hurricane Matthew; 4283-91-R Indian River County 1920s <br />Bungalow). The executed contract was provided by the FDEM on June 6, 2021. The itemized <br />budget for the 2021 HMGP grant is provided below. <br />BUNGALOW ELEVATION BUDGET (2021) <br />On November 8, 2022, the Board of County Commissioners approved a Job Order Contract (JOC) <br />from Gordian (part of the Sourcewell Cooperative), in the amount of $460,629.70 to complete the <br />155 <br />Project Cost <br />Federal Cost <br />County Share <br />Materials: <br />$56,200.00 <br />$42,150.00 <br />$14,050.00 <br />Labor: <br />$14,081.00 <br />$10,560.75 <br />$3,520.25 <br />Fees: <br />$0.00 <br />$0.00 <br />$0.00 <br />"Pre -Award: <br />$8,700.00 <br />$6,525.00 <br />$2,175.00 <br />Project Total: <br />$78,981.00 <br />$59,235.75 <br />$19,745.25 <br />On November 8, 2022, the Board of County Commissioners approved a Job Order Contract (JOC) <br />from Gordian (part of the Sourcewell Cooperative), in the amount of $460,629.70 to complete the <br />155 <br />
