CDBG Funds Requested ($15,000 Minimum Request): $ $226,192 Broward County Housing 8 Community Development Division Municipal Application Thirty Fifth Year 1 5. Project Goals: Provide specific project goals and quantifiable objectives. Quantifiable objectives should specifically state who, what, where and how many. Scope of services demonstrates activities involved in implementing the project while project continuation and maintenance relates to the whether or not this will be an ongoing activity after funding ends. a. Project Goals and Quantifiable Objectives: Describe how goals and objectives will benefit low income persons, provide an area benefit or eliminate or prevent slums and blighted conditions, or impact a problem or need of particular urgency. The City of Dania Beach in its continuing effort to provide safety and reduce crime with our city proposes a project consisting of solar powered street lights. The first is to provide a total solar powered street lights, concrete poles to be placed in Census Tract 804.04, Block 1; 804.04 Block 3; 805 Block 3; 804.02 Block 1; 801 Block 4; and 804.03 Block 2 These are the same type of solar power lights installed in 2007 within the City with 32nd Year CDBG funds. This area was identified in the CPTED study, paid for through the 30'h Year CDBG funding. Since the neighborhood is eligible for CDBG funding, the CPTED study provides much of the information needed to improve this community, street lighting being the first priority. Providing adequate lighting within the residential neighborhood is essential in the addressing the neighborhoods concern with "controlling access to the residential neighborhood". b. Detailed Scope of Services: The scope of services should explain exactly what will be accomplished with the funds requested. The lighting improvements will install solar powered street lights throughout qualifying Census Tracts at cost of $7,500 each. The cost of the lights was established during a public bid within the past year for the City's 32nd Year project. The contractor has been retained on contract to provide solar powered street lights in the 53`d Court neighborhood ($230,000). The City will use the locations identified in the 2005 CPTED study. With the location, and experience with the contractor, the City is confident it can Broward County Housing 8 Community Development Division Municipal Application Thirty Fourth Year execute this portion of the proposed project in short order. c. Project Continuation and Maintenance: Indicate what organization is responsible for maintenance of the project after completion. (Attach letters or verification). The City of Dania Beach will be responsible for all maintenance of all street lighting. The light bulbs can be purchased at home depot for about $2.00, the batteries have a life of 6 years and the solar panel have a life of 15 years. The City has purchased a bucket truck, which is necessary for repairs. d. Program Design: How do you plan to achieve the goals identified above. Please be clear and specific. (Please Attach) The lighting improvements can be complete within three months after award of the grant. Solar powered lights do not require trenching, so installation is quick and no permits are necessary. Since locations are identified and lighting contractor will be working in the City. It is expected the City will be able to receive a better price than the original unit cost of $8,500 per unit cost for solar light. The City desires to standardize the lighting equipment for maintenance, therefore would request upon a successful grant award to have Broward County approve an extension of contract to cover the proposed lighting which is to be funded under the CDBG 34'h Year. Phase I — Tree Trimming by the City of Dania Beach's Public Services at proposed light locations: September 2009—October 2009 Phase II — Lighting Specification and bidding: September 2009 — December 2009 Phase III — Surveying location of solar powered street lights.
