County and the Florida Department of Commerce to amend the CDBG-CV contract 22CV-E19 for the construction and
expansion of the Collier Senior Center - Golden Gate facility to extend the period of performance from March 31, 2025,
to March 31, 2026. (Fund 1835, Project 50219)
OBJECTIVE: Increase opportunities for the Collier Senior Center’s - Golden Gate facility to expand programming for
seniors in a safe environment and to further the County’s strategic plan for quality of place to support access to health,
wellness, and human services.
CONSIDERATIONS: On April 13, 2021, the Board of County Commissioners (Board) approved the “After-the-Fact”
electronic submittal of a pre-application to the Florida Department of Economic Opportunity (DEO), now known as the
Department of Commerce (DOC), to obtain CDBG-CV funding for the expansion of the Golden Gate Senior Center
Facility. On August 30, 2021, Collier County received an invitation to submit a full application for funding by
November 1, 2021.
The proposed project was advertised at the Affordable Housing Advisory Committee (AHAC) meeting on September
13, 2021, and at a public meeting held at the Golden Gate Senior Center on October 15, 2021, and no public comments
were received. The County Manager approved the submittal of the grant applications followed by “After-the-Fact”
approval by the Board at the next available Board meeting, pursuant to CMA #5330. The County Manager approved the
submittal of the grant application on October 29, 2021. The submittal of the grant application was approved “After-the-
Fact” by the Board on November 9, 2021 (Item #16.D.9)
On August 23, 2022, Collier County received a notice of award in the amount of $981,067.00 in CDBG-CV funding
from the DOC, with a period of performance ending September 30, 2023. Funding will be used to expand the existing
Golden Gate Senior Center with a new structure that will be built to current building codes. The existing structure is
forty (40) years old and is currently used for a variety of community programs, including serving as a meal site for
seniors, as a community meeting space, and as a recovery center during emergencies. This project addresses the
National Objective of an activity that benefits low- and moderate-income (LMI) persons of which elderly
persons/seniors are considered by HUD to be “principally L/M income persons”. Hardening of the existing building is
being funded by the Community Development Block Grant Mitigation (CDBG-MIT) program. This new expansion will
create enough space to allow additional space as well as expanded programming opportunities.
On April 27, 2023, DOC received authority from HUD to extend CDBG-CV funds past the original expiration date of
September 30, 2023. On August 28, 2023, DOC informed Collier County of their intent to create a new agreement that
extends the period of performance until March 31, 2025. On September 26, 2023, (Item #16.D.2), this agreement was
executed by the BCC.
The proposed First Amendment will extend the end date of the agreement until March 31, 2026, to allow for additional
time to utilize and spend grant funds.
The project will expand and add an addition to the existing building with a variety of fund sources including CDBG-CV
$981,067, reallocated American Rescue Plan funding of $1,000,000 for construction, Florida Department of Elder
Affairs Legislative Budget Request funding of $250,000 for design, Library capital funds $500,000 for design, fixtures,
furnishings and equipment and Community Development Block Grant Mitigation (CDBG-MIT) $2,819,107 for
hardening and mitigation activities.
Furthering the County's steategic plan for quality of place by supporting access to health, wellness, and human services.
