Agenda 06/14/2016 Item #16A19 6/14/2016 16.A.19.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to authorize a budget amendment in the amount of$36,711, Project# 60118 for
Fiscal Year 16 TIGER grant application submittal.
OBJECTIVE: To properly account for the cost of a consultant assisting in the TIGER grant application.
Budget amendments are required to move the consultant's cost as well as General Fund(001)dollars out
of the Gas Tax Construction Capital Fund(Fund 313)in the amount of$36,711 to be moved to Growth
Management Capital Fund 310 and to authorize the necessary budget amendments.
CONSIDERATIONS: On February 23, 2016, the Growth Management Department was informed that
the Notice of Funding Availability was announced in the Federal Register for the Transportation
Investment Generating Economic Recovery (TIGER FY2016) discretionary grant program. The
Consolidated and Further Continuing Appropriations Act, 2016 (FY 2016 Appropriations Act)
appropriated $500 million to be awarded by the Department of Transportation (DOT) for National
Infrastructure Investments projects with a significant impact on the nation, region or metropolitan area.
The TIGER grant application was due on April 29,2016.
Transportation planning staff began the preliminary work to develop and submit two projects for the
grant. Based on the large amount of work necessary to complete the TIGER grant applications, a work
order under contract 13-6164 was issued to a consultant for assistance with the completion of the
submittals. The work order required the completion of two different TIGER applications. One task was
to complete the application for the creation of a pedestrian network in Immokalee. An additional task was
to update/revise the application for Collier Boulevard Strengthening Project that was submitted last year.
The consultant submitted all deliverables and both TIGER grant applications were submitted prior to the
deadline. These grant preparation expenses were originally committed to the consultant in Fund 313 as
Gas Tax Capital for the county pathways/sidewalk funded program. The expense should be transferred to
Growth Management Capital Fund 310 in order for them to be spent appropriately as a pathway/sidewalk
planning task instead of a construction task.
A budget amendment is required to transfer the expenses to the appropriate fund.
FISCAL IMPACT: Funding is available in Gas Tax Capital Fund 313, Project 60118 - Countywide
Pathways/Sidewalks, however budget amendments are needed to move and properly account for this
project in Growth Management Capital Fund 310 as this pathway will not be constructed in conjunction
with a road construction or reconstruction project. The source of funding is a transfer from the General
Fund.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item has been reviewed by the County Attorney, raises no legal
issue,and requires majority vote for approval. -JAK
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: This request is consistent with Collier County's Growth
Management Plan.
RECOMMENDATION: To recognize and authorize the necessary budget amendments to Fund 310
totaling$36,711.
