Collier County proposes to have 10o young volunteers from 10 different and unique programs who will unveil the final 28 "State and Territory Stones" during the event at the Fred W. Coyle Freedom Memorial Park located at 1515 Golden Gate Parkway, Naples, FL 34108 on September 11 National Day of Service and Remembrance. On the September 11 Day of Service, 100 young volunteers will be responsible for having provided over 35o hours of service from September 6th to September loth and inspiring at least 10 attendees to sign up to volunteer on the loth anniversary of September 11, 2001. This program will focus on the CNCS focus area of Veterans and Military Families. Program Design Program Design: Two years after the attacks on our Country on September 11th, 2001, the idea was proposed to build a lasting memorial here in Collier County, Florida to pay tribute to firefighters, law enforcement officers, emergency medical personnel and civilians who died as a result of the terrorist attacks in New York City, at The Pentagon and at Shanksville, Pennsylvania. In 2003, the Collier County Freedom task force was formed to begin to raise funds to build a Freedom Memorial. On July 1, 2014, the Freedom Memorial Foundation of Naples Florida was formed and began a fundraising campaign to make the vision of a memorial in Freedom Park a reality. On March 19, 2009, a groundbreaking ceremony was held and 15 years after the attacks, the dedication of the Freedom Park Memorial was held and opened to the public. The Freedom Park Memorial serves as a symbol for American's and ties all United States symbols together. At the Freedom Memorial, Old Glory solemnly waves over the "Land of the Free and Home of the Brave." As individuals enter the park, they are greeted by the sight of the American Bald Eagle perched on a globe atop a traditional column, his wings upswept, welcoming you to Freedom Park. His head bowed in respect to honor those that we are remembering and if one were to look closely at the braid and tassels on the column one will see that there is a resemblance to the hair of the Statue of Liberty. In addition to the American Bald Eagle, there is a granite flag that is thirteen feet tall and the column anchors the flag to the granite map of the continental United States. A field of stars is cut through the solid granite blocks of the flag to allow yellow haze of the sun to shine through as it sets over this beautiful site. The staging area with its dedication plaque approaching the map and flag is of For Official Use Only Narratives yellow limestone; a nod to America's "Amber Waves of Grain." Along the back of the flag are three benches, one for each site that was attacked on September 11, 2001 :The World Trade Center, The Pentagon and Shanksville, Pennsylvania. Each of the individual benches includes the corresponding flight numbers of the aircraft or aircrafts used for that incident. As one sits on a bench for a moment to reflect, they will face a water feature and faintly catch a glimpse of the images of the twin towers. Surrounding these features is a brick pathway that was designed in the shape of The Pentagon. At the top of the brick pathway, located to the right are two actual pieces of steel beams from the World Trade Center, donated by the Gulf Coast Retired Firefighters Association. At the top edges of the pathway are commemorative bricks and "State Stones." Presently there are 28 State Stones each engraved with a State's name. There are 27 State Stones and two US Territory Stones still needing to be placed and sadly, the Foundation has been unsuccessful in raising the necessary funds to complete the Park. Once complete, the State and Territory Stoneswill represent all fifty states of the union and its two territories; The Freedom Park memorial will serve as a reminder of the sacrifices, past and present, that are made every day by our military men and women on the front lines around the world. Daily, visitors from all over the world find their way to Freedom Park to take in the Freedom Memorial in remembrance of that tragic day. When they arrive, they are met by volunteers whose passion for the symbolism of the park have motivated them to give of their time to teach and educate others about the park and it's significance. In honor of loth anniversary of September 11, 2001, Collier County seeks to connect todayi.s youth at 10 different and unique locations where Retired Seniors Volunteer Program (RSVP) volunteers already serve and have those RSVP volunteers educate these youth on the events of 9/11. The program design will reflect the following: After obtaining permission from parents, RSVP volunteers will host a kickoff session at each location and show the documentary "Through a Child's Eyes, " an HBO Documentary regarding how kids viewed that tragic day. After the movie, the RSVP volunteers will share with the youth how it was volunteers men and women in uniform, on the streets and from far away who would help to save lives that day, even despite placing their own at risk. The RSVP volunteers will share with youth how men and women came together after 9/11 to rise after that day by volunteering to serve in the armed forces; And now, 20 years later, it is once again time to rise in remembrance of those whose lives were lost by giving back to our friends, our neighbors and our community by volunteering to serve.

To ensure fiscal responsibility, Akiko Woods, Accountant, performs all general accounting and budget For Official Use Only Narratives services for RSVP of Collier County. The Collier County Board of County Commissioners (BCC) are strong proponents of RSVP of Collier County. The Collier County Board of County Commissioners consists of five elected officials who serve as the chief legislative body of the County. Moreover, the Board provides the space, administrative, financial and organizational support and direction for RSVP in Collier County. Under the Community and Human Services Division, RSVP of Collier County has established policies and procedures that are incorporated into all aspects of our program. A policy and procedure manual were created and is maintained and reviewed annually by the RSVP Project Director, grant accountant and the management team. These policies and procedures are reviewed against the national RSVP Operations Handbook and CFR 45: Part 2553, the RSVP Code of Federal Regulations. Collier County will ensure that the same standards and procedures utilized by the RSVP program are also applied to the September iith National Day of Service and Remembrance grant for 2021, 2022 and 2023. Cost Effectiveness and Budget Adequacy In order to ensure that the project remains fiscally responsible, the project design was built around utilizing sound procurement methodologies. However, the challenge in that lies that the prior stones acquired for the memorial were from a supplier that has the stone material, template and font that was utilized for each stone previously purchased for the Freedom Park Memorial. Therefore, in order to ensure that the material is an exact match, it is necessary to utilize sole source to acquire the stones from the same supplier that had provided the original State and Territory Stones. Understanding the significance and symbolism these stones have, the supplier offered a bulk order discount that would enable the stones to be purchased for $1,252 each (a reduction from the original cost of$1,700 each). To keep costs and overhead low for installation of the stones, Collier County will utilize its own personnel and equipment to install the stones paying only the costs associated with personnel and equipment time. Had the County bid this service out, the costs would have included profit margins for those bidding on the project. Aside from the installation costs the materials necessary to recruit, train and educate the youth are easy to source utilizing three bids or three quotes for materials such as: "9/11 Through a Child's Eye" HBO Documentary, luminaries and candles and awards for the participating youth, as well as, refreshments at the event. In total, with 10% of the funds being utilized for program direction and administration, the total cost of the program is $49,975 for the first-year funding request. Years two and three of the grant will be significantly less, because the For Official Use Only Narratives Freedom Park Memorial will be complete and only the necessary costs to support the volunteer efforts and the annual event will be required. Freedom Memorial Park had over 17,000 visitors in 2019. Additionally, there were Iso reported hours from volunteers who assisted those visitors. With this program, the goal is to surpass not only the number of visitors, but also the number of volunteer hours.
