Attachment A—Project Description and Deliverables
1. PROGRAM DESCRIPTION: In April 2018,the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development
(HUD) announced the State of Florida, Department of Commerce (Commerce) would receive
$633,485,000 in funding to support long-term mitigation efforts following declared disasters in 2016 and
2017 through HUD's Community Development Block Grant Mitigation (CDBG-MI1) program.Awards were
distributed on a competitive basis targeting HUD designated Most Impacted and Distressed (MID) Areas,
primarily addressing the Benefits to Low-to-Moderate Income (LMI) National Objective.Additional
information may be found in the Federal Register, Vol. 84, No. 169.
The Florida Department of Commerce (Commerce) has apportioned the Federal Award to include the
following initiatives: Critical Facility Hardening Program $75,000,000; General Planning Support Program
$20,000,000; General Infrastructure Program $475,000,000; and State Planning and Administration
$63,485,000.
This award has been granted under the Critical Facility Hardening Program. Projects eligible for funding
under this program must harden critical buildings that serve a public safety purpose for local communities.
Critical buildings include:
• Potable water facilities
• Wastewater facilities
• Police departments
• Fire departments
• Hospitals
• Emergency operation centers
• Emergency shelters
2. PROJECT DESCRIPTION:The Collier County Board of County Commissioners, Florida has been
awarded Two Hundred Sixteen Thousand Five Hundred Fifty-Two Dollars and Zero Cents ($216,552.00) in
CDBG-MIT(Community Development Block Grant-Mitigation)funding for mitigation efforts to harden the
Healthcare Network Marion E. Fether Medical Center against wind, heat, and water damage through the
installation of 61 nonimpact windows that are compliant with Florida Building Codes.The Marion E. Fether
Medical Center is part of the Collier County's Healthcare Network, which serves as the largest primary
care provider in Collier County and provides healthcare services to communities of greatest need.
Specifically, 58%of their patients fall under the Federal Poverty Level (FPL), 71 %are under 200% of FPL,
and 39% of adult patients are uninsured. Additionally, Collier County is designated as a Medically
Underserved Area (MUA), meaning its population does not have quantitative access to primary care
providers. Subsequently, the Healthcare Network serves as a vital instrument to the health of Collier
County citizens before, during, and immediately after a natural disaster. Replacing 61 windows with
nonimpact glazing material will solidify the facility's ability to with stand, wind, heat, or water damage
after a storm and immediately respond to the needs of their population, 61.84%of which are designated
as low to moderate income residents. The team overseeing this project consists of the Facilities
Department of Healthcare Network under the direction of the Project Manager, who is working in
coordination with Collier County, and selected contractor(s).
