Agenda 05/28/2019 Item #16D 8 (Naple Depot Grant Application)05/28/2019 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Recommendation to approve the electronic submission of the Small Matching Grant application to the Florida Department of State, Division of Historical Resources, Historic Preservation Grants Program to secure $48,300 in funding for the Budd Tavern Observation Car located at the Naples Depot Museum and approve $6,000 in Museum funds for project transportation costs. OBJECTIVE: Obtain grant funding to provide Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) interpretive accessibility for visitors to the Naples Depot Museum of Collier County. CONSIDERATIONS: The Budd Tavern Observation Car has become a highlight of the Naples Depot Museum since its restoration was completed in Spring 2018. Now that the interior has been brought back to its original state there is a recognized need for permanent interpretation of the history of this car. The Tavern Observation Car is currently not accessible for persons with disabilities. To modify the car to allow for accessibility would alter the historic fabric thus void the integrity of the structure. Because we want visitors of all capabilities to be able to learn about its history and appreciate the interior of the Budd Tavern Observation Car, we are seeking funding for interpretive panels and a 360° walk-through on a digital platform to be placed within the ADA accessible Naples Depot Museum building. Providing permanent interpretation for the car will ensure that all visitors have an enriching learning experience, which they can currently only receive via a tour when staff is available. The reasons for the interpretation to be within the museum is twofold. First, while interpretation is necessary for context, placing it inside the car would take away from the historic interior. Second, interpretation in wri ting enhances learning for the hearing impaired, and a 360-degree walk-through in a digital format provides greater learning opportunity for those who cannot physically access the car. On April 1, 2019, the Florida Department of State, Division of Histor ical Resources, Historic Preservation Grants Program, released the Small Matching Grant Application. This grant provides up to $50,000 in funding for an education and publication project. This grant application is intended to increase public understanding and awareness of the history of Florida. The permanent interpretation being requested meets the requirements of the grant education criteria. Although this grant is titled "Small Matching Grant”, Collier County is a Florida Certified Local Government (CLG) in good standing and therefore is not required to have the 1:1-dollar match. However, in order to complete the grant funded project $6,000 in Museum funds will be necessary to cover transportation costs not eligible under the grant. This grant has a duration of one (1) year and, if awarded, all activities shall be completed no later than June 2021. FISCAL IMPACT: If the grant is awarded, funds from the Florida Department of State in the amount $48,300 will be appropriated into the Public Service Grant Fund (709) via a Budget Amendment at the time of Board of County Commissioners (Board) acceptance. The local match in the amount of $6,000 is available from Fund (314), Museum Capital Fund Reserves supported General Fund (001) revenue. LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This Item is approved as to form and legality and requires majority vote for Board action. - JAB GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: There is no Growth Management impact due to this request. 16.D.8 Packet Pg. 949 05/28/2019 RECOMMENDATION: To approve the electronic submission of the Small Matching Grant application to the Florida Department of State, Division of Historical Resources, Historic Preservation Grants Program to secure $48,300 in funding for the Budd Tavern Observation Car located at the Naples Depot Museum and approve $6,000 in Museum funds for project transportation costs.

The Budd Manufacturing Company was building new stainless-steel streamliners by the mid-1930s, and these streamlined cars were considered the perfect vehicle to increase interest in traveling to Florida. Following WWII, there was a boom in travel to Florida, and railroad companies capitalized on it. Built in 1947, the Budd Tavern Observation Car was one of a series of six cars Seaboard Air Line Railroad commissioned from the Budd Company. SAL #6601 was used along the New York to Florida line with trains such as the Silver Meteor. The car is comprised of observation, bar, and lounge areas able to accommodate fifty-eight passengers. SAL #6601 became SCL #5841 when the Seaboard Air Line and Atlantic Coast Line Railroads merged to become the Seaboard Coast Line Railroad in 1967. In 1971, the car was transferred to the newly formed Amtrak and after being renovated the car became AMTK #3341. The car was retired in 1978 after thirty years on the rails. The Naples Depot was built in 1926 by the Seaboard Air Line Railroad, making it the first passenger station in Naples. Because of the Seaboard Air Line connection between the train and depot, the car was purchased by the Hirshhorn family and donated to Southwest Heritage Inc., a local group that formed in 1975 to preserve the depot. In 2004, Southwest Heritage Inc. and Collier County Government came to an agreement that the Depot and historic train cars would be a great addition to the Collier County Museum System. The Naples Depot Museum opened on January 7, 2011 and still operates today, with an annual visitation of roughly 16,000 patrons. 8CR147 1926 16.D.8.h Packet Pg. 973 Attachment: form-dhr001-small-matching-grant-application_final (Depot Edits- 5_3_19) (8860 : Approval of Department Of State Grant Small Matching Grant Application (DHR001), Effective 04/2019 Chapter 1A-39.001. Florida Administrative Code 1. Scope of Work (Maximum characters 5000)* In the space provided below, briefly describe the scope of work for the project for which funding is requested. List the work items that will be completed during the grant period using the funds requested and the required match. To enhance the experience of the Museum’s visitors and those who may have mobility challenges, the Museum plans on partnering with an exhibit design firm for an ADA accessible interpretive experience for the Budd Observation Car through graphic panels, a small number of artifacts housed in cases, and a 360° interactive touchscreen experience. This experience, placed inside the ADA accessible Museum, will allow the historic fabric of the train to remain intact while also allowing those with disabilities, and other visitors, an overview of the detailed history of the train car, timeline of extensive restoration and a virtual experience of the observation car without being in it. The 360° view inside the observation car will be displayed on a large touchscreen display. The project will incorporate three major thematic elements into the interpretation to provide necessary content to the train. It will outline the history of the car itself, from its construction to its arrival at the Naples Depot. There will also be interpretation regarding the role the Tavern Observation Car played in the history of the post-war boom of Florida development. Finally, the interpretation will discuss the Secretary of Interior Standards for Historic Preservation as it relates to the restoration process of the car. With historic photographs and original drawings, staff was able to replicate the 1947 experience, down to the writing desk, plush seating and tropical artwork through a three-year restoration and we want to incorporate that story as well. As an aside, all work on the project will be handled electronically (by way of telephone and conference calls, electronic submittals, etc.) Except for documenting the rail car’s interior and final installation, no site visits are planned for phases I through III. Phase I: Research & Concepting The objectives of this phase include: clarifying project goals and requirements, auditing available content and resources (including all images, objects and AV), developing high-level project concepts and strategies, and performing technical discovery. For both the AV interactive and exhibit/graphic components, the design firm’s interactive team will brainstorm creative approaches to the experience, which they will refine and present in an experience overview. Phase II: Design Exhibitory & Graphics: The design firm and Naples Depot Museum will review and identify the must have items that were previously identified in Phase I. Based on this information, the design firm will develop exhibit and graphic options using these materials and will submit preliminary versions to the museum for review and approval. AV Interactive: This phase will also cover the design of the application’s experience and interface. The design firm will develop design options for the museum to review the application’s look and feel as well as the flow and usability of the experience overall. The design firm will setup a temporary website of the application for review along phases II and III. 16.D.8.h Packet Pg. 974 Attachment: form-dhr001-small-matching-grant-application_final (Depot Edits- 5_3_19) (8860 : Approval of Department Of State Grant Small Matching Grant Application (DHR001), Effective 04/2019 Chapter 1A-39.001.

AV Interactive: During the production phase, all elements of the interface are designed with the approved visual style. On the technical front, development of the application’s front-end and back-end is carried out with the implementation of the content management tool and beta applications. Asset acquisition and development, which began in the initial phase, is completed by collecting and processing all of the required content to be integrated within the interactive. At the end of the production, once the application’s content and functionality are finalized, it becomes a release candidate for testing. Phase IV: Quality Assurance & Installation Exhibitory & Graphics: Following the production of exhibit components and graphics, all will be packed for shipment to the Museum. This material, in addition to all AV hardware will be shipped to the site and a mutually agreed upon time will be scheduled for installation. AV Interactive: This phase is composed of a three-part quality assurance review-editorial, functional, visual-to ensure solid performance. The applications installed on the hardware for client testing and review. All issues in the application are identified, tracked, and resolved. Additional release builds are provided for testing and review. After all issues have been resolved, the applications are prepared for final installation in the exhibition. The design firm will work with the museum’s staff for audio visual integration and installation of the software. Finally, the team will develop written technical documentation and conduct training sessions with the exhibition’s content administrators. The design firm will wrap up project management and deliver final documentation. End Product The end product will be a more enhanced Depot experience for visitors with mobility issues by virtue of a permanent interpretation for the Budd Tavern Observation Car that will provide better context for all visitors, as well as a medium in which visitors who cannot access the car itself can still experience its interior. 16.D.8.h Packet Pg. 975 Attachment: form-dhr001-small-matching-grant-application_final (Depot Edits- 5_3_19) (8860 : Approval of Department Of State Grant Small Matching Grant Application (DHR001), Effective 04/2019 Chapter 1A-39.001.

(Maximum characters 500)* (Products should be distributed free of charge.) 9.Does the proposed project entail a partnership with any other local entity?* The Budd Tavern Observation Car was one of three trains donated to the Naples Depot in the late 1970s. Touring the trains improves the overall visitor experience by providing patrons an authentic, immersive atmosphere. Since the Budd Car was restored in Spring 2018 and the interior has been brought back to its original 1947 state, there is a recognized need for permanent interpretation on the history and restoration of the train in an accessible setting within the museum. Providing permanent interpretation for the train will ensure that visitors of all capabilities have an enriching learning experience where they can understand the importance of rail travel, the impact it had on our Florida’s tourism and why the Museum preserved these modes of transportation without altering the historic fabric of the train. Secondly, this project provides an opportunity for our disabled community, including assisted living facilities, and special needs organizations, to have equal access to all of the exhibitions the Museum has to offer. . PRODUCTS: GRAPHIC PANELS- MULTIPLE- 360° WALKTHROUGH- 1 VIDEO ONE PERMANENTLY ON DISPLAY This interpretation will be on permanent display in the Naples Depot Museum. To make the public aware of the project, there will be teaser signage at the depot announcing the upcoming interactive display, and social media channels will announce the beginning of the project .We also plan on incorporating the processes behind exhibit design and creating an ADA accessible experience into a blog post on the Collier County Museums updated website that will be launching over the course of the summer. Once completed, a press release will be issued to announce the opening of the new display. 16.D.8.h Packet Pg. 976 Attachment: form-dhr001-small-matching-grant-application_final (Depot Edits- 5_3_19) (8860 : Approval of Department Of State Grant Small Matching Grant Application (DHR001), Effective 04/2019 Chapter 1A-39.001.

Threats or Endangerment (Maximum characters 1500)* Discuss the immediate endangerment to the historic resource(s) that is the subject of the proposed project, including existing or potential short-term threats of loss or damage to the properties, site, or information, as consequence of issues such as inaction, deterioration or lack of understanding of its historical significance. Documentation material, such as newspaper articles, are to be uploaded in the Support Materials section of this application. For nearly four decades the Budd Car offered Depot visitors a unique glimpse into an original Amtrak interior, but as the years wore on the car began to show the effects of the harsh SW Florida weather. To prevent further deterioration, a three-year restoration was completed to give visitors a historic 1947 immersive experience. Following the restoration process, feedback has been insightful regarding this saved piece of cultural heritage. Due to the circumstances surrounding the end of mass passenger rail travel in America, the history has not been preserved to the extent we have conducted. Many rail cars of this era were either discarded, abandoned, or adaptively reused. Visitors have already expressed during tours their appreciation for the preservation of this piece of history and through permanent interpretation, we can explain the context to all patrons, regardless of abilities. Although the addition of permanent interpretation will enhance the story, there is still a lack of an immersive experience because of ADA constraints. Without providing an alternative experience where visitors can gain some type of visual access to the train, this problem will never be properly addressed and not all our patrons will be able to fully immerse themselves in unique vintage setting.

If project includes media content, describe accessibility methods to be used (e.g. voice over, closed captioning, etc.) 5. Educational Benefits and Public Awareness (Maximum characters 1500)* Explain how the proposed project will educate the public on issues related to historic preservation, Florida history, and/or heritage preservation. This project is intended to provide historical context to the Budd Tavern Observation Car through interpretive and digital media. The permanent interpretive panels provide an opportunity for better access to educational information for deaf members of the community. Currently, interpretation is only provided through a tour of the car and staff is unable to do this in sign language. By having written text, deaf visitors will be able to have context of the Tavern Observation Car before they go inside the car. Another direct beneficiary of this project will be disabled members of the community who are physically unable to enter the car due to its lack of ADA accessibility. We will accomplish this through the use of the 360° walk-through, which will provide a visual of the interior of the car. This software also provides future opportunities on how we provide interpretive content to minority groups within Collier County who do not speak English as a first language, and international visitors. Staff plans to conduct surveys on visitor demographics to gauge which languages would serve our visitor base. The purpose of this project is based primarily on the need for interpretation. To properly interpret the history of the Budd Tavern Observation Car three approaches will be incorporated to provide necessary context. Interpretation will outline the history of the car itself, from its construction to its arrival at the Naples Depot. There will also be interpretation regarding the role the Tavern Observation Car played in the history of the post-war boom of Florida development. Finally, the interpretation will discuss the Secretary of Interior Standards for Historic Preservation as it relates to the restoration process of the car, utilizing historic documentation via primary source material. 16.D.8.h Packet Pg. 982 Attachment: form-dhr001-small-matching-grant-application_final (Depot Edits- 5_3_19) (8860 : Approval of Department Of State Grant Small Matching Grant Application (DHR001), Effective 04/2019 Chapter 1A-39.001.
