EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to provide after-the-fact approval for the submittal of a Transportation
Community and System Preservation Program (TCSP) Discretionary Grant Application for a total
amount of $17,000,000.
OBJECTIVE: To receive after-the-fact approval from the Board of County Commissioners
(Board) to submit a Transportation Community and System Preservation Program (TCSP)
Discretionary Grant Application to the United States Department of Transportation for a total
amount of$] 7,000,000.
CONSIDERATIONS: On May ] 2, 2011, the Federal Highway Administration (FHW A)
announced available discretionary grant funds from the Transportation, Community, and System
Preservation (TCSP) Program. The deadline to submit an application for these TCSP funds was
June 3, 201 1. Due to the short turnaround time, it was necessary to obtain County Manager
approval to submit the application and obtain "after-the-fact" approval from the Board of County
Commissioners. Collier County CMA #5330 authorizes the County Manager to approve the
submittal of grant applications with subsequent Board of County Commissioners action at the
next available Board meeting to ratify the approval as "after-the-fact."
---
The design-build construction of five new bridges, named the Golden Gate Estates Bridge
Program, was submitted for funding consideration. The construction of the five new bridges in
Golden Gate Estates will complete the existing roadway network and establish a two-lane grid
street pattern. The bridges will improve traffic mobility, promote private expansion for
economic growth, reduce response times for emergency services and improve hurrieane and
fire evacuation routes. The five bridges are located at:
Bridge 1, 23rd St. SW (1 block north of White Blvd)
Bridge 2, ] 6th St NE (south of 10th Ave NE)
Bridge 3, 8th St NE (south of 10th Ave NE)
Bridge 4, 47th Ave NE
Bridge 5, 62nd Ave NE (west of 40th St NE)
The total amount needed to design-build these five bridges is $] 7,000,000. The amount
requested from the TCSP Program is $12.000,000 with an estimated $5.000,000 match from
Collier County. To provide the County the best opportunity for an award, the application
specifies that Collier County would accept a lesser award and would then just build fewer
bridges.
Any awards made will require subsequent Board of County Commissioners approval.
FISCAL IMPACT: The matching amount of $5,000.000 will come from the Transportation
budgeted funds for bridge repairs/improvements. If awarded. the award will be brought before
_ the board to aecept the grant and authorize the necessary budget amendments. Source of funds
are gas taxes and impaet fees.

Part C. Proiect Narrative
The Golden Gate Estates Community, located in Collier County FL, is based on a two-lane grid pattern
similar to those promoted by "Smart Growth". However, the grid was never fully implemented and
numerous roads end at canals and start again on the other side. As a result, the efficiencies of a grid
system are lost. The East of 951 Horizon Study for Bridges (August 2008) evaluated missing bridge
connections based on system-infrastructure needs which considered transportation eirculation, access
management, schools, parks, law enforcement, emergency services, fire, libraries, storm water
management, and public utilities. The study's stakeholders identified preferred locations and ranked the
bridges based on criteria related to mobility, service efficiency and emergency response.
Mobility (Transportation Services)
. Improve network connectivity, Reduce Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT), Increase evacuation options
The Golden Gate Estates (GGE) is one of the world's largest platted subdivisions and encompasses
approximately 177 square miles. This project completes a critical link in the overall roadway network of
the GGE. Between 2000 and 2010, Collier County gained over 80,000 new residents. Much of Collier
County's current growth is occurring east of CR 951 in the GGE and areas further east. Residents who
live in and around the area will benefit by reducing the amount of time it takes for them to travel to and
from their jobs, which are primarily located along the west eoast of Collier County. Improving
circulation within the GGE will make the area more attractive to potential buyers and will help promote
"in-filling" of the approximately 45,000 lots within the 112,000 acre subdivision. This will help reduce
urban sprawl further east. This aligns with Collier County's Master Mobility Plan (MMP), which
encourages "in-filling" as a method to reduce VMT's. The MMP identified this project as a significant
transportation infrastructure improvement that will be required to support the planned population. The
improvement will eeonomically and efficiently move people and goods within the GGE and balances the
improvements with neighborhood and community coneerns.
The Surface Transportation Efficiency Model, STEAM 2.0, developed by FHW A was used to estimate
user benefits, costs, and externalities of transportation projects, based on trip tables and networks from
travel demand models. User benefits were calculated based on a reduction of VMT's and congestion
levels (delays) experienced by travelers at the link level. In addition, estimates of emissions, energy
eonsumption, and noise were based on FHW A supplied values. The improvement case (with bridges)
reduced values for the user trips, cold start emission eost and vehicle miles traveled (VMT) as
anticipated. The in-vehicle travel time delay study produced a reduction of time traveled in the
improvement case in relationship to the base case (no bridges). The reductions result in a decrease of
hydrocarbons (HC) and carbon monoxide (CO) emissions. The projeet analysis displayed a significant
decrease in green house gas emissions in the form of BTU energy eonsumption and carbon dioxide level
reductions. The declines from the base ease values directly translate to user benefit savings.
Service Efficiency (School Districts, Parks, Public Utilities and Big Cypress Basin)
. Efficiency, Connectivity, Opportunity
Serviee efficieney, conneetivity and oppOJtunity were diseussed with stakeholder groups that included
school districts, parks departments, public utilities and South Florida Water Management District Big
Cypress Basin. Adding more bridges to the Estates will provide for more efficient public services to the
area. The potential construction of water facilities, that provide potable water and raw water, require
collection and distribution lines to and from facilities and homes they serviee. These facilities will be able
to use the new bridges to span the canals along the chosen service eorridors. Bridges will also allow for
better bus routes for schools resulting increased zoning flexibility and bus transportation efficiency.

Currently, students living in some areas of the Golden Gate Estates must be driven several miles out of the
way to reach a school that is immediately across a canal from their homes. Ultimately this translates into
cost savings by reducing individual vehicle and bus route mileage and potentially allowing for pedestrian
access to schools.
Emergency Response (Fire, Emergency Medical Services, Sheriff and Forestry)
. Proximity to Agency and Change in Response Time
The proposed locations of the new bridges are based on rankings provided by the following emergency
response groups: Big Corkscrew Island Fire Distriet, Golden Gate Fire District, Emergency
Management Services, Forestry Service, and Collier County Sheriffs Office. The eonsensus was
"decreasing emergency response times is simply a matter of life and death". The medical standard for
response time is eight minutes. That is the response threshold required in eases of cardiac arrest to avoid
brain injury or death. For certain areas within the Golden Gate Estates (GGE), the anticipated response
time is greater than 8 minutes due to limited access and traffie eirculation. The additional bridges will
help reduce those response times by as much as 3.5 minutes.
Every year hundreds of thousands (480.500 in 2009*) of structural fires occur in the United States
causing billions of dollars ($10,842.000,000 in 2009*) in dan1ages. A residential fire (377,000 in 2009*)
is reported every 84 seconds*. When fighting a fire, every second counts in trying to contain or
extinguish a blaze. Therefore, the aecess route as well as the distance between a blaze and emergency
responders is extremely important. A community's Publie Protection Classification (PPC) rating is a key
factor that affects the cost of homeowners insurance and the cost of operating fire departments. By
adding the proposed bridges, the response time will reduce by as much as 3.5 minutes and mileage to
certain areas of the GGE would deerease. Based on these reductions, it is anticipated the Insurance
Service Organization's (ISO) PPC Rating may also decrease which would mean homeowners could see
a reduction in their homeowners insurance. The bridges also provide secondary and alternative direetion
evacuation routes in response or anticipation of an event such as hurricane or wildfire.

The County affinns that it will complete the proposed bridge by the target deadline. As a result of
existing assessments and preliminary engineering completed to date, the county has developed a project
sehedule that ean aeeommodate tinalization of engineering bid documents and pennitting for the
competitive seleetion process.
This project aligns well with the Transportation, Community and System Preservation Program by
providing livability, economic competitiveness, sustainability, and safety benefits to Southwest Florida.
While the eonstruction of five bridges has an obvious instant short tenn advantage in the creation of
construction jobs; the long tenn outcomes are far greater. The improved travel times, enhanced
development opportunities, fuel savings, neighborhood connectivity, eongestion reduction, emission
reduetion and alternative transpOl1ation choices make this project extremely attractive for the future
outlook of the Southwest Florida Region.

Part D. Project Eligibility
a. Is the project located on a Federal-aid highway? (List the functional class(es) of the facility(ies)
to be improved)
No.
b. If the project is not located on a Federal-aid highway, how do you consider the project eligible
for assistance under Title 23 or Chapter 53 of Title 49, United States Code? (i.e., list
program(s) and describe how the project meets the statutory eligibility criteria for that
program.)
Under Title 23 Section ~505.3, the Golden Gate Estates Bridge Program is of regional
significance and will quantitatively improve the throughput and provide long term congestion
relief for residents and services on the transportation network and clearly eonnect to sustainable
economic productivity for Southwest Florida Region.
The Golden Gate Estates Bridge Program is expected to quickly create and preserve jobs and
stimulate rapid increases in eeonomic aetivity. According to 42 U.S.c. 3161, Collier County is
an economically distressed area with an unemployment rate of9.7% (May 2011). Collier County
has had one of the highest foreclosure rates in the United States. The project will create direct
and indirect jobs immediately.
c. Is the project a corridor preservation activity necessmy to implement transit-oriented
development plans, traffic calming measures, or other coordinated transportation, community,
and system preservation practices?
The proposed proj ect is consistent with the Southwest Florida Regional Planning Council
Regional Policy Plan, the Collier County Master Mobility Plan, the Collier County MPO Long
Range Transportation Plan, and the Collier County Comprehensive Plan.
Improving circulation within the Golden Gate Estates will make the area more attractive to
potential buyers and will help promote "in-filling" of the approximately 45,000 lots within the
112,000 acre subdivision. This will help reduce urban sprawl further east. This aligns with
Collier County's Master Mobility Plan (MMP), which encourages "in-filling" as a method to
reduee VMT's. This "Smart Growth" philosophy of concentrating growth will also provide an
opportunity to economieally and effieiently expand the existing Collier Area Transit (CAT)
system within the Golden Gate Estates.

SUBJECT:
County Manager Review and Approval of a 2011 Transportation, Community,
and System Preservation Program grant sponsored by the U.S. Department of
Transportation in the amount of $12,000,000
The U.S. Department of Transportation, Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) recently
armounced a new grant program that provides funding for a comprehensive initiative including
planning grants, implementation grants. and research to investigate and address the relationships
among transportation, community. and system preservation plans and practiees and idcntify
private sector-based initiatives to improve those relationships. The program is authorizcd under
Section 1117 of the Safe, Accountablc, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy
for Users (SAFETEA-LU, Public Law 109-2(3).
The Transportation Plarming Department has prepared an application that fits within the
guidelines and, if funded, will support the Golden Gate Bridge Program. The project will
involve the design build eonstruction of five new bridgcs to expand the roadway network and
establish a two lane grid street pattern in Golden Gate Estates. The bridges will improve traffic
mobility, promote private expansion for economic grO\\1h. reduce response times for emergency
services and improve hurricane and fire evacuation routes. The preliminary cnginecring
assessments are complete and thc peer rcview is completed that confirms the appropriateness and
urgency of construction of these bridges.
It is cstimated that the grant rcquest will be $12,000,000 and a local match of $5,000.000 will be
provided by impact fees and gas tax in Fund 313.
The program was announced on May 5. 2011 and applications are due to the Florida Department
of Transportation on .June 3. 2011 for the state to prioritize and submit to FHW A. Due to thc
tight turnaround, it is neeessary to rcquest your approval to be followed by after-the-fact
approval by the Board of County Commissioners.
Once you have reviewed the proposal, please sign in the box abovc and call me for pickup at
252-4768.
