Applicants may submit only one application within a 12 month period. A business site-
defined as the folio number (parcel 10) of business location-may receive up to three C-
BIGs, not to exceed the maximum allowable amount in effect at the time of the first
application, subject to availability of funds. Once a business site has received its
maximum funding, it is no longer eligible for further C-BIG funding for the remaining
life of the program (subject to CRA funding availability).
Bids for Work
For each type of improvement to be funded, applicants must obtain a minimum of two
bids by contractors from the list on the Collier County Contractor's Search page, located
at htto://apos2.colliergov.net/webaoos/vision/ConCert/default.aspx . Bids from
contractors not listed in this database will not be accepted for the C-BIG program unless
they are licensed by the state of Florida and are bonded and insured with Collier County.
The grant amount will be equal the sum of the lowest bids (not to exceed $50,000) by all
contractors for each improvement though any contractor meeting the criteria above may
be used.
Required Documentation for Reimbursement

includes review ofcertificates ofoccupancy and/or permits from Collier County). To
receive reimbursement, grantees must prove that payment for the improvements was paid
to contractor(s) as approved with the original application by check or credit card in the
name of the grantee. Under no circumstance will payment to unlicensed contractors or
subcontractors be reimbursed. Grantees must provide receipts and invoices with the
payment amount indicated clearly and must also include dates of work performed. No
reimbursement will be disbursed for work paid for with cash. All invoices must

landscaping is available free of charge through Collier County Extension Services. Contact a
master gardener by calling (239) 353-4244.
Conformity Improvements
The Conformity Program provides financial assistance to commercial projects in the
Bayshore Gateway Triangle CRA for sites that have been recognized as non-conforming
and have been vacant for a period of time, or are found to not meet minimum
development standards as set forth in the Colfier County Land Development Code. A
hardship is created with non-conforming sites because the size or shape of the lot,
location of the building, etc. makes it impossible or not profitable to improve the site
according to standards. The applicant will be eligible on a per site basis, based on a
determination of merit, economic feasibility and the resulting end-product of the project.
Parcels that are deemed to be nonconforming in lot size by the Growth Management
Division shall be considered for additional property acquisition if the landowner is able to
reach an agreement with adjacent property owners to either acquire an additional parcel
of neighboring property, or go through a Lot Line Adjustment application. Properties that
are awarded funds to remedy lot size should be legally conforming lots once the
additional property is acquired. Funds used to remedy any nonconformity issue shall
result in the issue being made conforming to current Code standards.
The Conformity Program funds may be used for the following types of projects:
· Adjacent property acquisition

construction project
· Improvements found to be required during the Site Development/Site
Improvement Plan process for existing sites, above and beyond the initial
scope of the project. Examples: FEMA elevation requirements, fire code,
ADA accessibility, storm water, transportation access issues, etc.
Interior Improvements
Grantees who wish to improve the interior ofapproved commercial properties may be
reimbursed for that work through the C-BIG program only if they earn the maximum
dollar award for exterior improvements, or some combination of exterior and conformity
improvements. Interior projects must be approved at the same time as exterior projects
and will be reimbursed at a 50 percent match, up to a maximum award of$20,OOO. A
grantee who fails to perform enough exterior/conformity improvements to earn the
maximum grant amount will forfeit all reimbursement for interior improvements. All
documentation requirements for exterior improvements also apply to interior
improvements (see Bids for Work and Required Documentation for Reimbursement
above).

Change Orders and Time Extensions
Change Orders to Increase Funding
After a C-BIG agreement is executed, if a grantee discovers flaws in the building related
to approved exterior or interior improvements, a change order may be issued to increase
funding not to exceed the maximum award available. Change orders must be requested in
time for staff to process the request and secure approval (allow a minimum of one month
prior to expiration of grant). As with the original application, all work requested under
the change order must be pre-approved with an amended agreement prior to starting work
on these items. IMPORTANT: change orders cannot be processed within the last two
weeks of the grant period.
Upon successfully completing work under the original C-BIG, if the maximum funding
amounts have not been met, grantees must wait one year and may then apply for
additional funding for work unrelated to the original improvement[s].
Time Extensions
The CRA understands that redevelopment projects can take more time to complete than is
originally anticipated. For grantees who cannot complete their projects within one year,
time extensions may be granted. Grantees needing extensions must request the extension
within two months of the grant's expiration. Note: no extensions can be granted within
the last two weeks of the grant period.
Funding Levels and Matching Requirements
Base Funding
The base maximum grant award is $50,000 with the following breakdown of funding:
I) $30,000 in SO/50 matching funds for exterior improvements;
2) $20,000 in 50/50 matching funds for interior improvements -absolutely no
funding for interior improvements will be permitted if grantee does not perform a
minimum of$60,000 of exterior improvements;
3) Up to $30,000 in conformity improvements may be debited from exterior and/or
interior improvements in 50/50 matching funds, not to exceed $15,000 from either
category.
NOTE: Funding for interior improvements is contingent upon grantees performing

Bayshore Gateway Triangle eRA I Impact Fce Assistance Grant

..,., '~ TRIANGLE
IMPACT FEE ASSISTANCE GRANT
General Provisions
The Bayshore Gateway Triangle (CRA) has created the Impact Fee Assistance Grant to provide
financial assistance to new residential construction projects in the redevelopment area. The program
has been established to encourage construction of new detached single-family homes that support the
objectives of the adopted redevelopment plan. Improvements to existing structures may be funded
through the Site Improvement Grant Program (see separate application).
The CRA is partially funded by Tax Increment Financing (TlF). TJF is a unique tool that eRA's can
use to leverage public funds and to promote private sector activity.
For each project, the CRA will provide an impact fee assistance grant of up to $10,000 per new
detached single-family home. For parcels having impact fee credits, the CRA will provide an impact
fee assistance grant of 50% of the remaining impact fees after the credits have been applied, not to
exceed $10,000.
There is a maximum amount of funding allocated each year for impact fee assistance, so the program is
managed on a "first come, first served".
Impact fee deferrals may also be available through the Collier County Housing, Human and Veteran
Services SHIP program for low and very low-income first time homebuyers.
All applicants must contact the Collier County Impact Fee Coordinator for an estimate of expected
impact fees. CRA staff: the Impact Fee Coordinator and the Bayshore/Gateway Triangle Local
Redevelopment Advisory Board will review applications and make a recommendation for assistance to
the Community Redevelopment Agency Board. The CRA Board will issue final approval and
authori7-c expenditure of funds.
This is a reimbursement program to the builder/owner, to be paid at the receipt of Certificate of
Occupancy (CO).
The grant application must be submitted, reviewed by the Advisory Board and approved by the CRA
Board prior to submittal of building permit. No "after the fact" applications will be accepted.
Applications will not be accepted after all CRA Grant Program funds are depleted.
All work must be completed within one year of approval by eRA.
Applicants are reouired to consult with CRA staff and the Impact Fee Coordinator prior to submittal
of application.
