E. %j�J% j„/ <br />ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEER �/// � <br />DEPARTMENT OF UTILITY SERVICES <br />SUBJECT: <br />"GRANT AGREEMENT" ST. <br />JOHNS RIVER WATER PUJ AGEMENT DISTRICT <br />() <br />BACKGROUND <br />In 1996, the County received a grant availability notice from St. <br />Johns River Water Management District. The staff engineers <br />reviewed all ongoing and future projected projects for possible <br />grant application. Only one project appeared to qualify, (i.e., <br />the North County Reverse Osmosis Plant, well field and disposal). <br />The Department proceeded to submit a grant application for the <br />aforementioned project. <br />ANALYSIS <br />The.County was successful in obtaining a $80,000.00 grant for the <br />aforementioned project with monies to be applied to the wellfield <br />portion of the job. (See attached proposed grant agreement.) <br />Since the grant fund will be open again in 1997, we will again <br />submit the same project in hopes of obtaining additional <br />supplementary project funding. At a time when grant monies are <br />almost non existent, the Utilities staff is and will continue to be <br />diligenf "in the acquisition of any available supplemental funding <br />sources. <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />The staff of the Department of Utility Services recommends that the <br />Board of County Commissioners approve the attached grant contract <br />as submitted and execute same. <br />Director of Utility Services Terry Pinto advised that a notice <br />was received that grants were available and he had authorized <br />Capital Projects Engineer Bill McCain to investigate. The grant <br />will cover a project which is already completed so this becomes a <br />-$80,000 gift from SJRWMD, a reimbursement for money the County <br />would have spent anyway. Director Pinto hoped this would make <br />front page news. <br />Chairman Adams inquired whether this is an ongoing grant or a <br />1 year grant, and Director Pinto responded that it has been <br />proposed as an ongoing grant. The total project is around <br />$8,000,000 and all portions are eligible under these grant <br />requirements. <br />AUGUST 13, 1996 58 <br />
