Section 6: PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND GOALS 4. Concise Project Description and Goals Narrative (placing emphasis in THIS project application) Refer to Applicant Guide tab for specific instructions. The Collier County Board of County Commissioner, on behalf of Immokalee Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA), is seeking funding assistance to complete the next phase of the Immokalee Sidewalk Improvements Project. In 2016/2017 the CRA was awarded a total of $600,000 to complete sidewalks on a portion of Eustis Avenue, South 9th Street, and South 5th Street. We are requesting $100,000 to design and permit the sidewalks listed below. We are also requesting $500,000 construction funds to construct the project. Immokalee is a walking community where walking should be a safe and convenient mode of transportation and recreation. In order to promote more walking and cycling activities, the CRA and MSTU are requesting funds to construct sidewalks in locations where the highest concentrations of pedestrians exist and where the lack of a sidewalks poses the greatest threat to the pedestrian. This application will continue to further implement the Immokalee Sidewalk Improvement Plan. While streets built today are required to include sidewalks, many of the existing streets in Immokalee were built without sidewalks. The implementation of the Immokalee Sidewalk Improvements program will be done in two phases. Phase 1 will be Engineering Design and permitting and Phase 2 will be for Construction Services. Suggested Areas considered of most need are on the south side of Immokalee. 1. Carver Street (From South 5th Street to South 1st Street) 2. South 5th Street (Carver Street to Delaware Avenue) Most sidewalks were selected by the CRA and MSTU 2016 Goals and Action Plans of the Advisory Committees. (Exhibit 22) This implementation could also include the removal and replacement of existing deteriorating and/or unsafe features from within the County right-of-way. The Program will be consistent with two previous related studies/reports entitled (Exhibit 23) Immokalee Pedestrian Crosswalk Improvements Study, and The Immokalee Walkability Study (Exhibit 24). The First phase of the Immokalee Sidewalk Improvement project was funded with a variety of funding sources including: Immokalee Beautification MSTU; Immokalee CRA and 2017 CDBG funds. This project is slated to be completed March 28, 2018. The current project and the proposed new project will improve pedestrian and vehicular safety, provide aesthetics to create a unified community character, and improve the visibility and economic viability of existing and future businesses in the downtown area and several other areas of Immokalee. ✔✔✔✔ Benefits low and moderate income persons (24 CFR 570.208(a)) gfedc Aids in the prevention or elimination of slums or blight (24 CF 570.208(b)) gfedc Qualifies as a certified urgent need (24 CF 570.208(c)) 03L Activity Code 0.000.00 TOTAL Collier County Transportation Operations Department, in conjunction with a citizen’s focus group, as opposed to a single thought, was tasked to study and identify the possible underlying causes for the high accident and crime rate. The task force identified a concern with lack of sidewalks, obstructed intersection sight lines, not enough light and limited pedestrian visibility. Goals: Promote and improve walking as a safe and inviting mode of travel through a comprehensive walking program of pedestrian facilities. Vision: • Increase the safety of commuters walking or using transit to get to work. • Increase the safety of students walking to school or riding the bus. • Increase transit use in the community. • Foster strong public awareness about the rights and responsibilities of pedestrians. • Support walking as a recreational activity. See (Exhibit 20): Map of Various Immokalee Designations for study area boundary (Community Redevelopment Area). See (Exhibit 21) Photos of sidewalks. Section 7: IMPACT ON COLLIER COUNTY’S PRIORITY NEEDS NOTED IN THE APPLICANT GUIDE 5. Impact on Collier County's Priority Needs Noted in the Applicant Guide Narrative Refer to Applicant Guide tab for specific instructions. Level of local support and community involvement: The Immokalee Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA), the Immokalee Municipal Service Taxing Unit (MSTU), the Collier County Public Transit and Neighborhood Enhancement Division (PTNE), and Collier County Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) have a several areas in Immokalee they would like to construct sidewalks on. This proposed Project will be used to further implement the Immokalee CRA & MSTU Annual Goals. The Immokalee community area is designated a Rural Area of Opportunity (RAO). The benefits of being a designated RAO is that communities are given extra points on grants, they are eligible to receive waivers or reduction of match, they are priority assignments for REDI as well as to allow the Governor, acting through REDI, to waive criteria, requirements, or similar provisions of any economic development incentive. Incentives include, but are not limited to, the Qualified Target Industry Tax Refund Program, Quick Response Training Program, and Quick Response Training Program for participants in the welfare transition program, transportation projects, Brownfield redevelopment bonus refund, and the rural job tax credit program. The Immokalee community area is also designation a Promise Zone. The benefits of being a promises zone is that it partners the Federal government with local leaders who are addressing multiple community revitalization challenges in a collaborative way. Promise Zone Designees will receive: • Preferences for certain competitive federal grant programs and technical assistance from participating federal agencies; • A federal liaison assigned to help designees navigate federal programs; • An opportunity to engage AmeriCorps VISTA members in the Promise Zone’s work; and, • Promise Zone tax Incentives, if enacted by Congress. The Sidewalk program will greatly improve the functionality and aesthetics of the business district and residential areas while improving the quality of life in Immokalee. Both the CRA and Immokalee Lighting/Beautification MSTU Advisory Committees have worked long and hard with Collier County Alternate Transportation Department and Collier Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) Board to ensure that these improvements be carried through to completion to serve the community interests as a whole. The design elements of the sidewalk projects along 5th Street will include the removal of existing damaged and deteriorated asphalt and replacement with new concrete sidewalk and will incorporate improved drainage where identified. The Immokalee Public Realm Plan/Town Design has been adopted by the local community via the Immokalee Community Redevelopment Agency Advisory Board and the Collier County Board of County Commissioners identifies the need to enhance public spaces and interconnectivity in the community., This project will improve public safety and continue to implement a sidewalk plan that will connect area schools, parks and the business district. Additionally, this project is consistent with the “Immokalee Walkable Community Study” prepared for Collier County Metropolitan Planning Council, dated April 2010. Section 8: EXPERIENCE AND CAPACITY 6. Experience and Capacity Narrative Refer to Applicant Guide tab for specific instructions. The CRA team that will be managing this program consists of James Sainvilus, Project Manager, Christie Betancourt Operations Manager, and CRA Director Debrah Forester. Once the contract has been approved by the BCC, James Sainvilus will take over the role of Construction Manager. He will schedule the initial preconstruction meeting with all stakeholders. He will lay out the project schedule, Davis Bacon reporting requirements, scope of work, and any other pertinent information. As the project progresses, staff will be on site daily to ensure adherence to all safety codes and scope of work. He will keep a daily activity log complete with pictures. Mr. Sainvilus will review contractor invoices on a monthly basis before handing them over to finance for processing. The construction of this proposed sidewalk project will demonstrate through implementation that the community needs and goals have been heard by the governing bodies and action is being taken to invest in the Immokalee community. This sidewalk project will continue renewed community pride through the development of comprehensive sidewalks in lieu of simple sidewalks. Other projects focused on the implementation of improvements to the Immokalee area have also recently been initiated for Immokalee’s future such as the completion of the First Street Zocalo Plaza at the intersection of Main Street and First Street. The Plaza worked towards the design and construction of a community plaza space as identified in the Immokalee Public Realm Plan. In 2014, the Immokalee CRA awarded two construction contracts related to the further implementation of the Immokalee Stormwater Master Plan construction began on March 2015 and was completed on August 2015. The Immokalee CRA staff completed the Immokalee Drive corridor in west Immokalee which was first identified as an area of concern by SWFL Water Management District in its original Immokalee Master Drainage Improvement Plan in 2005. Their concerns were based primarily on the nuisance flooding along the corridor in this densely populated residential area. This $2.5 million project addressed the concerns through the installation of a series of drainage structures connected via a piped conveyance system that meets current design standards. As a pedestrian safety measure, the scope also included the installation of concrete sidewalks on both sides of the roadway. The CRA also installed a comprehensive asphalt overlay, constructed new driveway aprons and replaced all effected right-of-way features. In 2011 the CRA invested $4 million dollars in improving the drainage conveyance systems in the Downtown District. The Colorado Avenue project consist of the CRA going back in to this project area to install additional drainage structures and pipe along Colorado Avenue to further improve the hydrology of the area. Although this project addresses drainage issues, of equal importance is the pedestrian safety improvement component of the project. The Colorado Avenue corridor from South First to South Ninth Streets consists of drainage ditches in some areas which force pedestrians and vehicles to share the roadway. The project included concrete sidewalks, grading & new sod on both sides of Colorado Avenue from South First to South Ninth Streets in the densely populated downtown Immokalee area. Prior to installing the sidewalks, the CRA filled the open drainage ditches with concrete drainage pipe and fill dirt in order to create a level area for the sidewalks along the roadway. Colorado Avenue is the primary pedestrian access facility for families accessing both Pinecrest Elementary School and the Immokalee Daycare Center. In an area where families generally escort their young children to and from school, the sidewalks were vital to ensuring pedestrian safety. Prior to the project, families were forced to share the roadway with vehicles due to deep open drainage ditches along both sides of the roadway. The Immokalee CRA continues to work on projects – major and minor – to improve the physical surroundings of Immokalee and its quality of life. On August 13, 2013, the Immokalee CRA staff also completed a sidewalk project on Carson Rd, which is being used as a tool to estimate the project costs for this proposed program. Carson Road Sidewalk Improvement cost $175,000 for 0.5 mile of sidewalks, but did not include additional site features such as brick paver areas, benches or receptacles. On November 2012, the CRA staff completed a four million dollar grant funded storm water improvement project, and had replaced a blighted residential area with a functional and aesthetically pleasing drainage conveyance system complete with 7- acre pond site, roadway and sidewalk improvements. Last year CRA staff had recently completed the design and construction of the Immokalee Drive and Colorado Ave Stormwater and sidewalk improvement projects. Both projects cost about $1.9M. Immokalee is a community that has demonstrated a strong pride and desire for improvements and through the assistance of grant funding like this we can change dreams into reality and improve the quality of life in Immokalee, Florida. 7.

N/A Section 11: PROJECT IMPLEMENTATION PLAN AND READINESS TO IMPLEMENT 11. Project Implementation Plan and Readiness to Implement Refer to Applicant Guide tab for specific instructions. The Sidewalk Program pursues the Immokalee CRA and MSTU annual operational plans, along with the MPO goals of promoting walking as safe means of transportation. The proposed Sidewalk Program will provide a comprehensive understanding of sidewalk needs in the Immokalee Community. A long-term comprehensive program is necessary in order to: • Address sidewalk needs objectively and comprehensively in various locations in Immokalee • Plans for grant funding • Coordinate sidewalk construction with other roadway work • Insure efficient use of County funds; and Builds more sidewalks more quickly Comprehensive Program (Sidewalk Program) With a comprehensive program, better coordination can occur and an appropriate funding strategy can be pursued. The program is based on an inventory of missing sidewalk segments on Arterials, Major Collectors and Neighborhood Collectors. The program ranks sidewalk projects using scoring system that is based on the vision and goals of the Operational Plan and street characteristics. This is a simple way to assess need, and allow the county to address to the most needed projects first. Street characteristic criteria will be added to Operational Plan criteria to create the final scoring system. This system is intended to objectively rank missing sidewalk segments. Implementation considerations for the program are as follows: • A focus on constructing sidewalks on one side of the street first, in order to provide a walking facility on at least one side of streets (consistent with prior programs in the county). • Construct at-grade ribbon sidewalks or grade-separated sidewalks, in order to cost effectively retrofit many streets and develop a more comprehensive walking route network (consistent with prior programs). o Built at-grade, and set back from the street edge, which is referred to as “ribbon” sidewalk. In order to separate the pedestrian from moto vehicle traffic, a sidewalk is located at least five feet from the edge of pavement. This provides the same buffer effect as a planter strip. • Consider sidewalk construction in lieu of Neighborhood Traffic Management Program (NTMP) devices, because sidewalks affect pedestrian safety, and pedestrian safety may be the reason for a neighborhood’s need to slow motor vehicle traffic. • Construct neighborhood connections on public property and pedestrian crossing improvements in conjunction with sidewalks, where feasible, in order to increase the usefulness of the sidewalk and create a comprehensive waling route network. • Trails and bike lanes should be constructed with consideration for sidewalks but should not be considered alternative to gfedc Project/property is located on an historical or archeological site gfedc Project/property is in the 100-year flood plain gfedc Project/property is in a wetlands area gfedc Project/property is in a coastal barrier area gfedc Project/property is within a half-mile of an airfield gfedc Project/property is near storage or manufacturing facility of industrial products gfedc Project/property is on or near soil contaminated by diesel/fuel or gasoline gfedc Project/property is expected to impact the environment in any negative manner or pose a hazard or nuisance gfedc Endangered or threatened or listed species are located on the proposed project site gfedc There are environmental concerns or impediments associated with the proposed activity (if yes, please provide detail) gfedc Project/property is expected to adversely affect the environment gfedc Project/property is NOT on a properly zoned site (if not zoned properly, please explain) ✔✔✔✔ None of the above sidewalks. The Immokalee CRA/MSTU will use its own funds when budget permits to design the projects. We will use the County Purchasing Department guidelines to procure the services of the professional Engineering firm with a landscape architect on staff to create a design for the projects. The design will consist of, but not be limited to Implementing new sidewalk, irrigation system upgrades and landscaping refurbishment within newly reconstructed sidewalk segments located within the project limits. The design acquisition phase will be expedited using the County Fixed term engineering contracts that have been competitively bid to request construction quotes/proposals; this process will take four times less than it would take to start up within a new selection committee and so forth. During construction the CRA Operation Manager, Project Manager and Fiscal Administrator will all work to ensure that the project deliverable are on time and on budget with the required level of quality. They will prepare financial reports and supporting documentation for funders as outlined in funding agreements and participate in a close out audit. 12. Please complete the Project Timeline table in the Tables tab, then check the box below to confirm. Timelines must be well thought out, complete, and achievable. Failure to provide adequate timelines may result in disqualification. Section 12: FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT 13. Financial Management Refer to the Applicant Guide tab for specific instructions. The Immokalee CRA funds per Fiscal Year are at a minimum, covering only operational costs and are not enough for the Sidewalk Program. The CRA has recommended for annual CIP funding increases which is directly tied to limited local tax revenue, which is extremely low in Immokalee. An MSTU has been created but not enough has been generated for a program like this proposed sidewalk. If granted this grant the general public in Immokalee will directly benefit from the sidewalk improvements. See CRA Year-to-Year Tax Increment Revenue. 14.

A portion of the tax revenue that is generated within Immokalee is channeled into the CRA and MSTU funds, which are reinvested into the community via economic, infrastructure and ascetic improvement endeavors. unfortunately, there exists a severe gap between the taxable values and real-world market values of the properties throughout the community. This gap has created a financial hindrance on overall community improvements. The commercial common area improvements proposed within this application will support an increased assessment value of the properties within the community, generating an increased tax base that will ultimately be reinvested back into the community, creating a chain reaction of positive community growth.

James Sainvilus, 1122 Forrester Ave, Immokalee, FL. 34142 I, James Sainvilus, was Born and raised in a third world country (Haiti), where I have learned how to live in and grow a community. I have spent my latest 24 years in the US, where I graduated High School and College. I am an Engineer, a Teacher, a Pilot and a Wingman. I have been servicing people and my community since I had graduated College. I have been a Science Teacher for three (3) years at Immokalee Middle School, and Basic Computer Skills Teacher for adults at night at the Lorenzo Walker Institute, where I’ve became a role model to many migrant and minority students. For 13 years now, I have worked as a Project Manager for the Board of Collier County Commissioners, serving the public by creating, improving and protecting the environment in my community. My resume briefly describes my academic development and professional experiences outlining the objectives that I have achieved at different stages of my live. I am quite proud of my performance because I graduated college with honor when I was 21 years old, with a Bachelor of Science in Engineering while I played two different NCAA Division I sports - Soccer in the fall semester and Track & Field in the spring semester; at 34 years old I completed Basic Military Training in the U.S. Air Force. I am not one of many people today who are unsure of what to do with their lives; I have not only the education, but the experience and skills to make it in the real world, but I wanted to be part of something bigger, thus I enlisted to the U.S. Air Force Reserves, which has given me more experiences and many other opportunities to provide humanitarian assistance and relief and security as required to the Country I serve and others. As Civilian or an Airman, I have been using my management/engineering knowledge and military leadership and core values imbedded in me to better serve my community. I have been trained and certified to know and execute guidance and procedures for preparing hazardous materials for shipment by military aircraft to ensure that such materials are packaged, marked, labeled, and prepared properly for transportation. I have also been trained and have the knowledge and skills necessary to perform joint inspections - Defense Transportation Regulation. I have the experience and my ambition is looking forward to the pride I will take to become part of the future of Immokalee. For the need of the community and professional growth, I am going to take courses or go back to graduate school to seat for the Professional Engineer (PE) exam. My most significant accomplishments are: • Completing my Private Pilot • Building safe environment in my community • Having one (1) out of 10 patents pending – Patent ID # 14841171 EFS ID # 14841171 Application # 61758907 Thank you for taking the time to read this letter, if you have any question please contact me.

PROCUREMENT OF PROFESSIONAL SERVICES A. Because differences in price may only be a minor concern compared to qualitative considerations, professional services may be exempted by the Purchasing Director from the competitive bidding process. Instead, professional services will be typically acquired through one of the following methods: 1. Competitive Selection and Negotiation. 2. Competitive Proposals (pursuant to Section VIII). B. A professional service shall be defined as assistance obtained in support of County operations from an independent contractor in one or more of the following professional fields: 1.

Prior to issuing a work order under a contract identified under Section VII.C.1 -3, the Director shall have the discretion to solicit project or task specific proposals from one firm or from multiple firms under a fixed term contract. In such instances, each solicitation shall be issued on a "best value" basis where qualifications and price are considered. Each solicitation shall include at minimum a description of work to 8 be performed and the criteria to be used to evaluate each proposal. For all "best value" based solicitations, price shall not exceed 50 percent of the total evaluation criteria. The Director shall be authorized to approve all work orders where the maximum initial dollar amount does not exceed two hundred thousand dollars ($200,000) and where the maximum initial contract amount does not exceed seven hundred fifty thousand dollars ($750,000). Any work order and/or contract that exceeds that amount subsequent to award and prior to completion of the work shall be subject to the provisions of Section XV.C of this resolution. Projects shall not be sub -divided to circumvent the dollar thresholds established herein. All fixed term agreements issued under this section shall be eligible for extension or renewal in accordance with the provisions of Sections XV.D and E respectively. D. For all service procurements in excess of the formal competitive threshold under the Competitive Selection and Negotiation method, authority to announce and distribute Requests for Proposals or Letters of Interest and Qualifications and to appoint and empower a selection committee shall be pursuant to Section VIII.B. hereof.

Requests for outside legal services may be exempted from formal competition by the Board of County Commissioners at the request of the County Manager or County Attorney. H. The acquisition of services from experts or consultants for purposes of preparing for or defending against imminent or pending litigation or administrative proceedings shall be exempt from all competitive requirements of this policy. Any such acquisitions that do not exceed $50,000 may be approved by the County Attorney and the Purchasing Department without further action. Acquisitions that exceed $50,000 may be authorized by the County Attorney and the Purchasing Department, but will be reported at a regular meeting of the Board for ratification. VIII. COMPETITIVE PROPOSALS A. The Competitive Proposals process is a method of contract selection that may be utilized by the Purchasing Director under circumstances where one or more of the following conditions exist: 1. Where qualitative considerations are of equal or greater concern than pricing considerations. 2. Where the conditions of the purchase do not lend themselves to the formal sealed bid process or the award of a firm, fixed fee contract. 3. Where the County is incapable of specifically defining the scope of work for which the commodity(s) or service(s) is required and where the qualified offer 9 is asked to propose a commodity(s) or service(s) to meet the needs of the County. 4. Where the County desires to enter into a single contract for the design and construction of a public construction project(s). B. For purchases in excess of the formal competitive threshold and where appropriate or required by law, the competitive proposals process will be utilized. The process will be conducted in a manner similar to the sealed bid process as set forth under Section VI except where otherwise stated in this section. The competitive proposals process shall proceed as follows: 1. A Request for Proposals (RFP) will be prepared and distributed in a manner consistent with the definition of said term found in Section 2 of Collier County Ordinance No. 87-25. Notice of said request(s) shall be publicly posted by the Purchasing Department at least 21 calendar days preceding the last day established for the receipt of proposals. 2. Each Request for Proposals shall identify the appropriate evaluation procedures and criteria to be applied to the selection of the best proposal among the respondents.

Prior to the announcement and distribution of the RFP, a selection committee shall be appointed by the County Manager to evaluate the proposals received. For all purchases made under the Competitive Proposals method, the County Manager may empower the selection committee to designate and rank the proposals prior to the commencement of negotiations and to negotiate a tentative agreement, subject to award by the Board. 4. Proposals may be solicited and/or received in one or more steps as permitted by law and deemed appropriate by the Purchasing Director. U nless otherwise prohibited by law, the Purchasing Director shall have the discretion to solicit and conduct simultaneous or concurrent negotiations with one or more firms. C. For purchases in excess of the formal competitive threshold, final selection of the awardee will be made by the Board of County Commissioners. D. Purchases less than or equal to the formal competitive threshold may be authorized by the Purchasing Director, as permitted by law and shall not require formal solicitation or announcement unless deemed necessary by the Purchasing Director. IX. PROCUREMENT OF DESIGN/BUILD CONTRACTS A. Procurements for the design and construction of public construction projects may be obtained through a single contract with a firm selected in a manner permitted under Section 287.055, F.S. and the procedures set forth in this section. B. Upon completion of the Design Criteria Package, procurements of Design/Build services shall be processed in a manner consistent with Section VIII hereof entitled "Competitive Proposals". C. Administrative procedures shall be established by the County Manager or his designee for utilization of the design criteria professional concerning the evaluation of the proposals submitted by the design/build firms, the supervision or the 10 approval by the County of the work drawings of the project and evaluation of the project construction with the design criteria package. D. The Board of County Commissioners may declare a public emergency, where appropriate and authorize the using agency to negotiate an agreement for Board approval with the best qualified design-build firm available at that time. X. Small and Disadvantaged Minority and Women Business Enterprises A. Policy Statement: Collier County stands committed to providing equal opportunities to small businesses and disadvantaged business enterprises (DBE), minority business enterprises (MBEs) and women enterprises (WBEs) as well as to all vendors, consultants, contractors and subcontractors who seek to do business with the County. Pursuant to this policy, Collier County will require its vendors, consultants, contractors and subcontractors to provide qualified small businesses and DBE's with an equal opportunity to participate in the formal competitive processes for the procurement of commodities and services by the County. The Policy is not intended to require or to allow partiality toward or discrimination against any small business or DBE, MBE, WBE, or any other vendor, consultant, contractor or subcontractor on the basis of gender, race or national origin, or other such factors, but rather to help ensure that small businesses and DBEs, MBEs, WBEs, and all qualified vendors, consultants, contractors and subcontractors have an equal opportunity to participate in the County's formal competitive processes. Nothing in this Policy shall be construed to provide for or require any preference or set-aside based on gender, race, national origin or any other such factor. B. Definitions: For purposes of this policy, the term "small business" shall have the same definition as set forth under Section 288.703.(1), F.S. The term "DBE" shall include any "small business" as defined pursuant to Section 288.703(1) that is at least 51 percent owned or controlled by a person or pers ons defined as "socially and economically disadvantaged" individuals pursuant to Section 14-78.602(18), F.A.C. Reference to these definitions, however, shall in no way be construed to provide that the County has adopted or is subject to the provisions o f the Statute or Code referenced herein. C. Implementing Measures: In an effort to implement this policy, the County may undertake the following measures: 1. Designate the Purchasing Director to administer this policy. 2. Utilize outreach programs to identify, register and educate small businesses and DBEs, MBEs and WBEs to participate in the procurement/contract process including, but not limited to: a. Attending trade fairs which include representatives from these enterprises. b. Attending meetings and social events wherein these enterprises. c. Utilizing publications aimed at reaching these enterprises. 11 d. Utilizing directories and other reference sources that list these enterprises. e.

Other actions designed to identify these enterprises who seek to provide commodities and services to the County. 3. Maintain a list of these enterprises. 4. Disseminate information regarding competitive opportunities with the County in order to allow qualified small businesses and DBEs, MBEs and WBEs to participate in the County's procurement process. D. Conformity with Applicable Law: The provisions of this section shall be construed in conformity with applicable state and federal law. To the extent that state law conflicts with federal law, federal law shall supersede such state law. XI. Procedure to Provide Preference to Local Businesses in County Contracts . Except where otherwise provided by federal or state law or other funding source restrictions or as otherwise set forth in the purchasing policy, purchases of commodities and services shall give preference to local businesses in the following manner: (1) “Local Business” defined Local business means the vendor has a valid occupational license issued by Collier County at least one year prior to bid or proposal submission to do business within Collier County that authorizes the business to provide the commodities or services to be purchased, and a physical business address located within the limits of Collier County from which the vendor operates or performs business. Post Office Boxes are not verifiable and shall not by used for the purpose of establishing said physical address. In addition to the foregoing, a vendor shall not be considered a "local business" unless it contributes to the economic development and well-being of Collier County in a verifiable and measurable way. This may include, but not be limited to, the retention and expansion of employment opportunities, the support and increase to the County's tax base, and residency of employees and principals of the business within Collier County. Vendors shall affirm in writing their compliance with the foregoing at the time of submitting their bid or proposal to be eligible for consideration as a "local business" under this section. A vendor who misrepresents the Local Preference status of its firm in a proposal or bid submitted to the County will lose the privile ge to claim Local Preference status for a period of up to one year. (2) Preference in purchase of commodities and services by means of competitive bid, request for proposals, qualifications or other submittals and competitive negotiation and selection. Under any such applicable solicitation, bidders/proposers desiring to receive local preference will be invited and required to affirmatively state and provide documentation as set forth in the solicitation in support of their status as a local business. An y bidder/proposer who fails to submit sufficient documentation with their bid/proposal offer shall not be granted local preference consideration for the purposes of that specific contract award. Except where federal or state law, or any other funding source, mandates to the contrary, Collier County and its agencies and instrumentalities, will give preference to local businesses in the following manner: (a) Competitive bid (local price match option). Each formal competitive bid solicitation shall clearly identify how the price order of the bids received will be evaluated and determined. When a qualified and responsive, non-local business submits the lowest price bid, and the bid submitted by one or more qualified and responsive local 12 businesses is within ten percent of the price submitted by the non-local business, then the local business with the apparent lowest bid offer (i.e.; the lowest local bidder) shall have the opportunity to submit, an offer to match the price(s) offered by the overall lowest, qualified and responsive bidder. In such instances, staff shall first verify if the lowest non-local bidder and the lowest local bidder are in fact qualified and responsive bidders. Next, the Purchasing Department shall determine if the lowest local bidder meets the requirements of Section 287.087, F.S. If the lowest local bidder meets the requirements of 287.087, F.S., the Purchasing Department shall invite the lowest local bidder to submit a matching offer to the Purchasing Department which shall be submitted to the Purchasing Department within five (5) business days thereafter. If the lowest local bidder submits an offer that fully matches the lowest bid from the lowest non-local bidder tendered previously, then award shall be made to the local bidder. If the lowest local bidder declines or is unable to match the lowest non-local bid price(s), then award will be made to the lowest overall qualified and responsive bidder. If the lowest local bidder does not meet the requirement of Section 287.087, F.S. and the lowest non-local bidder does, award will be made to the bidder that meets the requirements of the reference state law. (b) Request for proposals, qualifications or other submittals and competitive negotiation and selection. For all purchases of commodities and services procured through the Competitive Proposals (Section VI) or Competitive Selection and Negotiation (Section VIII) methods not otherwise exempt from this local preference section, the RFP solicitation shall include a weighted criterion f or local preference that equals 10 percent of the total points in the evaluation criteria published in the solicitation. Purchases of professional services as defined and identified under subsection VII.B.2 (which are subject to Section 287.055, F.S.) and subsection VII.B.3 (which are subject to Section 11.45, F.S.) shall not be subject to this local preference section. (3) Waiver of the application of local preference. The application of Local Preference to a particular purchase or contract for which the Board of County Commissioners is the awarding authority may be waived upon approval of the Board of County Commissioners. (4) Comparison of qualifications. The preferences established herein in no way prohibit the right of the Board of County Commissioners to compare quality of materials proposed for purchase and compare qualifications, character, responsibility and fitness of all persons, firms or corporations submitting bids or proposals. Further, the preferences established herein in no way prohibit the right of the County Commission from giving any other preference permitted by law instead of the preferences granted herein. (5) Reciprocity. In the event Lee County, or any other Florida county or municipality (“local government”) deemed appropriate by the Collier County Board of Commissioners, extends preferences to local businesses, Collier County may enter into an interlocal agreement with such local government wherein the preferences of this section may be extended and made available to vendors that have a valid occupational license issued by that specific local government to do business in that local government that authorizes the vendor to provide the commodities and services to be purchased, and a physical business address located within the limits of that local government. Post Office Boxes are not verifiable and shall not be used for the purpose of establishing said physical address. In addition to the foregoing, a vendor shall not be considered a "local business" unless it contributes to the economic development and well-being of the said local government whichever is applicable, in a verifiable and measurable way. This may include, but not be limited to, the retention and expansion of employment opportunities, the support and increase to that local government’s tax base, and residency of employees and principals of the business located within the limits of that local government. Vendors shall affirm in writing their compliance with the foregoing at the time of submitting their bid or proposal to be eligible for 13 consideration as a "local business" under this section. In no event shall the amount of the preference accorded other local government firms exceed the amount of preference that such local government extends to Collier County f irms competing for its contracts. (6) Purview and administration of this policy. This policy shall apply to all departments and units under the direct purview of the Board of County Commissioners. The Purchasing Department shall be responsible for deve loping, implementing and maintaining administrative procedures in support of this policy. (7) Subsequent Review and Sunset Provision. Pursuant to the adopting resolution, this local preference section is being added to the purchasing policy in support of the local economy during difficult economic times in Collier County. On or about one year of the effective date, the Purchasing Department will provide the Board with an update of the results and impacts to date of this local preference policy. Within two years of the effective date, the Board shall receive a similar report from the Purchasing Department and shall determine whether to continue or modify this policy. Should the Board not elect to continue the local preference policy, it will expire at that time. XII. PAYMENT OF INVOICES A. It is the intent of the Board of County Commissioners that all agencies under its purview be in compliance with Section 218.70 F.S., otherwise known as the "Local Government Prompt Payment Act".

The lease of real property. B. The Purchasing Director shall have the authority to establish and maintain a procedure that authorizes minor payment variances between the purchase order and invoice where warranted. The authority to pay such variances shall not exceed 5% of the purchase order amount or $500, whichever is less. C. Additionally, the Purchasing Director shall be permitted to establish and maintain a procedure that authorizes the payment of freight and delivery charges that are not specifically identified on the purchase order. D. It shall be the responsibility of the Purchasing Director, in consultation with the Finance Director and using agencies, to establish, distribute and administer procedures for the timely payment of all transactions as defined under XII.A hereof. Such procedures shall include, but not be limited to the following: 1. Formally defining the County's requirements for the content and submission of a proper invoice, codifying the County's payment requirements and formally notifying each vendor of their availability. 2. Steps required for the receipt of all invoices and the prompt return of improper invoices. 3. Steps required for the resolution of payment disputes between the County and a vendor. 14 E. Each December, the Finance Director and the Purchasing Director shall submit a joint report to the Board listing the number and total dollar amount of interest penalty payments made during the preceding fiscal year. XIII. PAYMENT OF DUES FOR MEMBERSHIP IN PROFESSIONAL ORGANIZATIONS County funds may be used to pay for dues for membership in a profe ssional or other organization provided that such expenditure meets the following criteria: 1. Such membership is deemed necessary to meet duties and responsibilities required by Federal, State or local mandate or to facilitate proper professional development. 2. The organization of membership is of a non-profit nature. 3. Sufficient funds are available within the proper appropriation unit/summary code. XIV. STANDARDIZATION, COOPERATIVE PURCHASING AND GOVERNMENTAL CONTRACTS A. Where standardization is determined to be desirable by the Director, the purchase of commodities may be made by negotiation with the approval of the Board of County Commissioners if more than the competitive bid limit or by the County Purchasing/General Services Director if less than or equal to the competitive bid or negotiation threshold. B. The Director shall have the authority to approve purchases under State of Florida and Federal GSA cooperative contracts. The Director shall also be authorized to join with other units of government in cooperative purchasing ventures prior or subsequent to award when in the best interests of the County. If funds have already been budgeted, no further Board action will be required. In authorizing all such purchases under pre-existing agreements, the Director shall have determined that the term and conditions of the purchase are competitive in the market and favorable to the County. XV. CONTRACT ADMINISTRATION A. Contract Document: Every procurement of contractual services or commodities shall be evidenced by a written document containing all provisions and conditions of the procurement. Said document shall include, but not be limited to: 1. A listing of the scope of services to be performed or commodities to be purchased. 2. A provision specifying the criteria and the final date by which such criteria must be met for completion of the contract. 3. A provision specifying the terms of cancellation by the County and where applicable, a provision specifying the terms of renewal. 4. Where applicable, a provision establishing the appropriate types and levels of insurance to be carried by the vendor.

The Director shall be authorized to assign cards to employees for these purchases. The Director shall have the authority to establish the following dollar limits for each assigned card: A. Single Transaction Limit: Not to exceed $1,000 per card unless otherwise authorized by the Director. B. Monthly Spending Limit: Not to exceed $10,000 per card unless otherwise authorized by the Director. C. Strategic Purchases: The Director may utilize (or delegate the authority to other Purchasing Department staff to utilize) a purchasing card to place orders that exceed the limits set forth under this section in instances where one or more of the following is true: 1. Where the purchase is to address a valid public emergency; or 2. Where the County will earn revenue through card program rebates ; or 3. Where a vendor is requiring the County to order by purchasing card. D. Sales Tax Compliance: Pursuant to Section 212.08(6), F.S., County purchases transacted with vendors within the State of Florida are exempt from the state sales and use tax. In such instances, it is the responsibility of the cardholder to provide the vendor with the appropriate tax exemption information when the card is presented to the vendor. In the event that the cardholder refuses to grant the tax exemption when the card is presented, the cardholder is authorized to allow the tax to be charged to the card. It is the position of the Board that it is not cost effective or in the public interest to require a cardholder to seek a credit for sales tax collected when the total sale does not exceed $300. In the event that the total sale exceeds $300, the cardholder’s department director (or their designee) is responsible to ensure the tax is returned to the County for the purchase. E.

Elimination of other causes for which the debarment was imposed; or 5. Other reasons that the committee might deem appropriate. The contractor's request shall be submitted to the PGS Director in writing and shall be based on one or more of the aforementioned reasons. c. The decision of the committee regarding a reduction of the debarment period is final and not subject to appeal. 4. The Effects of Debarment: a. Debarred contractors are excluded from receiving County contracts. Departments shall not solicit offers from, award contracts to, or consent to subcontractors with debarred contractors, unless the County Manager or his designee determines that emergency or single source conditions exist and grants written approval for such actions. Debarred contractors are excluded from conducting business with the County as agents, representatives, subcontractors or partners of other contractors. b. The Purchasing Department shall notify all Board departments of the final debarment decision and the effects of that decision wi th regard to conducting business with the debarred entity(ies) during the debarment period. 5. Continuation of Current Contracts: a. Departments may not renew or otherwise extend the duration of current contracts with debarred contractors in place at the time of the debarment unless the PGS Director or his designee determines that it is in the best interests of the County to allow the contractor to continue or finish the work within an additional, limited period of time. b. Debarment shall constitute grounds for terminating an open agreement with a contractor. However, the contract manager may permit completion of an open contract(s) provided that the debarred contractor has performed in a satisfactory manner to date under the open contract(s) unless otherwise directed by the PGS Director. 28 6. Restrictions on Subcontracting: a. When a debarred contractor is proposed as a subcontractor for any subcontract subject to County approval, the department shall not consent to subcontracts with such contractors unless the County Manager or his designee determines that emergency or single source conditions exist, thus justifying such consent and approves such decision. b. The County shall not be responsible for any increases in contract costs or other expenses incurred by a contractor as a result of rejection of proposed subcontractors pursuant to subsection 6.a provided that the subcontractor was debarred prior to the submission of the applicable bid or proposal offer. 7. The Scope of Debarment: Debarment applies to all officers, principals, directors, partners, qualifiers, divisions or other organizational elements of the debarred contractor, unless the debarment decision is limited by its terms to specific divisions, organizational elements or commodity/services. The committee's decision includes any existing affiliates of the contractor if they are specifically named and are given written notice of the proposed debarment and an opportunity to respond. Future affiliates of the contractor are subject to the pre-existing terms of the committee's decision. 2/10/09 Exhibit 16 Internal Revenue Service Form 990 N/A – Collier County Government Collier County, Florida Fiscal Year 2017/2018 Adopted Budget Summary Office of Management & Budget—Suite 201 W.

Study Immokalee Walkable Community Study October 2011 Prepared for: Collier Metropolitan Planning Organization www.colliermpo.com Prepared by: RWA, Inc. The preparation of this report has been financed in part through grants from the Federal Highway Administration and Federal Transit Administration, U.S. Department of Transportation, under the Metropolitan Planning Program, Section 104(f) of title 23, U.S. Code. The contents of this report do not necessarily reflect the official views or policy of the U.S. Department of Transportation. Exhibit 24 2 Immokalee Walkable Community Study Executive Summary Introduction The following report presents the Immokalee Walkable Community Study. The intent of this study is to assess pedestrian conditions or ―walkability‖ within Immokalee, identify facility needs for public roadways, and prioritize future improvements. A walkable neighborhood is defined as a neighborhood that has compact residential development, a mix of land uses, and a well connected street network. A walkable community is a place where one can get to the store, school, park, or other destination within the neighborhood without a car. The results of the Immokalee Walkable Community Study will be incorporated into the Comprehensive Pathways Plan and will ultimately assist the Collier Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) and its Pathway Advisory Committee (PAC) to plan and program facility improvements in Immokalee and throughout Collier County. Background In 2008 the MPO and the PAC identified the need to explore bicycle and pedestrian mobility issues throughout Collier County and specifically assess walkability conditions in specific communities and neighborhoods. As such, they included a task in the United Planning Work Plan (UPWP) to develop walkability studies for the following areas in this order of priority: 1) Naples Manor, 2) Immokalee, 3) Naples Park, 4) Golden Gate City, 5) City of Naples, and 6) City of Marco Island. In 2009, the MPO in collaboration with the Collier County Transportation Planning (CCTP) staff, completed the Naples Manor Walkable Community Study which was adopted by the MPO Board in March of 2010. Over that same period, CCTP staff conducted extensive analysis of pedestrian conditions in Immokalee and delivered a preliminary draft of the Immokalee Walkable Community Study to the MPO. Unfortunately, the study was put on hold and was never finalized or adopted due to restructuring events within Collier County government. In September of 2011, the MPO hired RWA Inc. to refine and update the study and to present it to the Technical Advisory Committee (TAC), Citizens Advisory Committee (CAC), PAC and MPO Board for review and adoption. Study Results CCTP staff conducted extensive walking surveys of almost every single roadway in Immokalee. On- the-ground conditions were documented, Level of Services (LOS) scores were assigned, and recommended physical improvements were identified. These improvements were divided into two phases to allow flexibility for construction, and to distinguish between immediate needs and desirable enhancements. The detailed assessments can be found in Appendix A: LOS Roadway Inventory. Results from this inventory were tabulated and mapped using Geographical Information Systems 3 Immokalee Walkable Community Study (GIS) software. Utilizing GIS functions, the individual roadway needs were analyzed and ranked according to their importance. The report condenses the detailed roadway inventory information and presents the results of the analysis and prioritization process in a concise illustrative format. The report ranks each roadway (or segment) and then groups them into three tiers: Tier 1—short term priorities, Tier 2—mid-term priorities, and Tier 3—long-term/wish list priorities. The individual scores for each roadway and the resulting tiers were determined by evaluating the location of the proposed pedestrian facilities and the impact those locations would have on the neighborhood. Exhibit 1 illustrates the results of the Tier 1, Tier 2, and Tier 3 priorities. The findings presented in this study demonstrate that Immokalee has approximately 73 linear miles of public roads of which 27 miles or 37% contain sidewalks on at least one side of the road. Conversely, this means that approximately 63% of public roadways have no sidewalks. The study also assigns Immokalee an overall level of service of C. This level of service is determined by averaging all of the level of service results for each roadway. Of all roadways or segments (658) EXHIBIT 1 4 Immokalee Walkable Community Study analyzed only 16% (104 segments) obtained an overall score of A or B. These roadways contain acceptable facilities and need little improving. These improvements could typically be qualified as enhancements rather than facility needs. Enhancements can include improvements such as lighting, street furniture, and added visual interest. That being said, A and B roads do not constitute immediate priorities. Given the limited funds and the unlimited facility needs, priority rankings focused on roads with an a LOS score of C,D or F. With the understanding that LOS score is not the only determining factor in establishing funding priorities, this study filters C, D and F roadways according to the following additional criteria: Located within high pedestrian crash corridor Proximity to a school Along a transit route Proximity to points of interests (including Main Street, government offices, commercial centers and high employment areas) Along a major road or connecting to a major road Contains planned or programmed improvements, and Public input As illustrated in Exhibit 1, the highest priority areas are concentrated around Main Street; the triangle formed by S.R. 29 and New Market Road where there are numerous schools, parks and public facilities; and highly traveled roadways such as Lake Trafford Road, New Market, and Immokalee Drive. Of all roadways ranked, 104 segments (approximately 9 linear miles) were assigned a Tier 1 Priority, 113 ( approximately 11 linear miles) were assigned a Tier 2 Priority and the remaining 337 segments (approximately 39 linear miles) fell into Tier 3 Priorities. The results found within this study will be integrated within the Comprehensive Pathways Plan and are meant to inform pedestrian improvement decisions, but can also be useful in assisting the Immokalee Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA), the Immokalee Municipal Service Taxing Unit/ Beautification Committee (MSTU), and various Collier County agencies in setting priorities, requesting grants, allocating funds, and building infrastructure improvements. 5 Immokalee Walkable Community Study Table of Contents Introduction Page 6 Purpose Page 7 Area Background/Community Profile Page 7 Methodology Page 8 Exhibit 2: Bicycle/Pedestrian Facilities: Overall Page 9 Exhibit 3: Bicycle/Pedestrian Facilities: Northwest Section Page 10 Exhibit 4: Bicycle/Pedestrian Facilities: Central Section Page 11 Exhibit 5: Bicycle/Pedestrian Facilities: Southeast Section Page 12 Phase 1: LOS Roadway Inventory Page 13 Phase 2: Establishing Priority Tiers Page 16 Exhibit 6: Level of Service (LOS): Overall Page 19 Exhibit 7: Level of Service (LOS): Northwest Section Page 20 Exhibit 8: Level of Service (LOS): Central Section Page 21 Exhibit 9: Level of Service (LOS): Southeast Section Page 22 Exhibit 10: High Crash Corridors Page 23 Exhibit 11: School Locations Page 24 Exhibit 12: Bus Route Locations Page 25 Exhibit 13: Points of Interest Page 26 Exhibit 14: Major Roads Page 27 Exhibit 15: Planned Improvements Page 28 Exhibit 16: Evaluation Matrix Page 29 Exhibit 17: Tier One, Two, and Three Priorities: Overall Page 40 Exhibit 18: Tier One, Two, and Three Priorities: Northwest Section Page 41 Exhibit 19: Tier One, Two, and Three Priorities: Central Section Page 42 Exhibit 20: Tier One, Two, and Three Priorities: Southeast Section Page 43 General Recommendations Page 44 6 Immokalee Walkable Community Study Introduction The Collier County Transportation Planning (CCTP) staff was assigned to complete the Collier Metropolitan Planning Organization’s (MPO) 2008/09-2009/10 walkable community studies. Unfortunately, due to reorganization within Collier County government, a draft of the Immokalee Walkable Community Study was produced but the study was never finalized and approved by the MPO Board. In September 2011, RWA inc was hired to refine, and update the study and to present it to the Technical Advisory Committee (TAC), Citizens Advisory Committee (CAC), Pathway Advisory Committee (PAC) and MPO Board for review and adoption. The following report has been developed to address the needs defined in the MPO’s 2008/09-2009/10 Unified Planning Work Program (UPWP) sub-task 4.7. The objective of the UPWP subtask is to conduct an assessment of pedestrian needs of local roads in neighborhood communities. The results of the study will ultimately be incorporated into the Comprehensive Pathways Plan. The Comprehensive Pathways Plan is a tool the MPO and the Pathways Advisory Committee (PAC) use to evaluate bicycle, pedestrian, and pathways improvements within Collier County. One of the goals of the Comprehensive Pathways Plan is to provide a safe, connected, and convenient on-road network throughout Collier County which accommodates bicyclists and pedestrians. The PAC advises the MPO Board on issues relating to bicycle and pedestrian mobility within Collier County and participates in prioritizing projects designed to further the goals of the Comprehensive Pathways Plan. Completing this walkable community study will allow the MPO, through the PAC, to begin the process of prioritizing walkable community needs with other pathways projects and improve the walkability within Collier County communities and neighborhoods. Recognizing that a walkable community assessment of all local roads in a neighborhood was a large undertaking, the PAC recommended that the MPO complete two walkable community evaluations per year. The Naples Manor Walkable Community Study was completed in 2009 and adopted in March of 2010. Over that same period, CCTP staff conducted extensive analysis of pedestrian conditions in Immokalee and delivered a preliminary draft of the Immokalee Walkable Community Study to the MPO. RWA picked off where CCTP staff left off. Utilizing the draft report and extensive data collected by the CCTP staff, RWA made some slight updates to the data, refined the report format, entered the data into a GIS database, and presented the study results in a graphical and tabular format. RWA and CCTP worked with the MPO, the PAC, the Immokalee Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA), the Immokalee Municipal Service Taxing Unit/Beautification Committee (MSTU), and local residents to explore mobility issues and overall walkability in Immokalee. This study will be used to direct pedestrian improvements in Immokalee and to enhance the MPO’s bicycle and pedestrian programs throughout Collier County. This study addresses how the layout and design of our neighborhoods is associated with the walkability of the community. A walkable neighborhood is defined as a neighborhood that has compact residential development, a mix of land uses, and a well connected street network. A walkable community is a place where one can get to the store, school, park, or other destination within the neighborhood without a car. 7 Immokalee Walkable Community Study Many people in Immokalee are too young to drive, have a disability, have no access to a car, or choose not to drive. Many others are pedestrians at some point during the day and conduct a portion of their daily travel by foot. According to the 2000 census, 25 percent of the workers in Collier County get to work via other modes of travel than driving a car alone. These include carpools, public transit, walking, and riding a bicycle. Most of these modes however require that the user become a pedestrian at some point during their trip. For example, someone who utilizes public transportation still requires a way to get to and from the bus stop. Many people who carpool must also get to their carpool location by walking or riding their bicycle. According to the 1995 National Personal Transportation Survey (NPTS) approximately 40 percent of all trips are less than two miles or a 30 minute walk. This represents a relatively easy walk or bike ride if safe pedestrian and bicycling facilities are provided. In addition to fulfilling transportation needs, walkable communities also provide numerous benefits including; reducing levels of congestion and air pollution; promoting healthy lifestyles; reducing our reliance on foreign oil; and promoting livable and desirable communities that maintain higher property values. Purpose The MPO funded the study for the primary purpose of improving the bicycle and pedestrian plans/ programs developed by the MPO, CCTP, and PAC and ultimately to benefit the residents of Collier County. The MPO understands that better pedestrian and bicycle conditions have intangible benefits to the quality of life in Collier County. The purpose of this walkable community study is to incorporate the results of the study into the Comprehensive Pathways Plan and to ultimately assist the PAC when establishing priorities for pathway funding. The outcome of this walkable community study in conjunction with other walkable community studies will help create pedestrian friendly, usable, and connected pathways throughout Collier County. Area Background /Community Profile Immokalee, a census-designated place (CDP) in Collier County, was selected for the 2009 Walkable Community Study by the Pathways Advisory Committee of the Metropolitan Planning Organization. According to the 2010 census, the population was 24,154, and there were 2,783 households with children under the age of 18 living with them. The average household size was 3.96 and the average family size was 4.14. The median income for a family was $24,315. About 34.6% of families and 39.8% of the population were below the poverty line. Immokalee has a total area of 8.1 square miles. Immokalee is home to Eden Park Elementary, Parkside Elementary, Highlands Elementary, Immokalee Middle School and Immokalee High School. 8 Immokalee Walkable Community Study The Collier MPO maintains an active database of all pathway facilities in Immokalee. The table on page 13 summarizes the existing pedestrian and bicycle facilities in Immokalee and Exhibits 2,3,4 and 5 presents maps of those facilities. Exhibit 2 illustrates all facilities on one overall map of Immokalee, whereas Exhibits 3, 4 and 5 provide close-ups of the Northwest, Central, and Southeast portions of the town respectively. Methodology The study was conducted in two phases. Phase 1 included an assessment of existing conditions and a detailed analysis of needed improvements. Results from this phase are presented in ―Appendix A: LOS Roadway Inventory‖ which provides a street-by-street inventory of pedestrian conditions for almost every roadway in Immokalee. Phase 2 includes extensive Geographical Information Systems (GIS) mapping, and the ranking of improvements utilizing an intuitive evaluation matrix. As part of Phase 2, two screens were applied to the LOS inventory to rank and organize the improvements. The first screen eliminated private roads from the inventory since these roads are not eligible for federal funding. The second screen further reduced the number of roadways to be ranked by removing roads assigned a LOS of A or B. The remaining roadways were then evaluated and ranked according to the following criteria: Located within high pedestrian crash corridor Proximity to School Along a transit route Proximity to points of interests (including Main Street, government offices, commercial centers and high employment areas) Along a major road or connecting to a major road Contains planned or programmed improvements, and Public input 9 EXHIBIT 2 10 EXHIBIT 3 11 EXHIBIT 4 12 EXHIBIT 5 13 Immokalee Walkable Community Study PHASE 1: LOS Roadway Inventory Methods for determining walkability are varied. Some methods focus on safety and examine facility conditions; crossings and intersections; posted speed limits compared to actual vehicle speeds; lane widths; crosswalk conditions; pedestrian related signage and signals; intersection traffic controls; and intersection geometry. Others consider network quality and focus on pedestrian comfort and experience by evaluating issues such as lighting; maintenance of the sidewalk surface and vegetation; amenities such as the availability of benches, bike racks, transit stops and signs; and access and design of the facility such as compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act and timing of the pedestrian phases for traffic lights. The methodology used to assess walkability in this report is a basic pedestrian level of service (LOS) measurement. LOS is a measurement used in transportation to depict how well the given transportation mode operates. Conventionally, vehicular LOS is a measurement of volume to capacity and delay ranging from A to F where A is excellent and F is failure. The five pedestrian LOS measures, as determined by evaluating various walkability guides, that are most applicable when evaluating a neighborhood are as follows: directness, continuity, street crossings, visual interests and amenities, and security. Using these five measures, CCPT evaluated roadways within Immokalee. Each evaluation includes objective as well as subjective components which are described on the following pages. Overall Score for Immokalee LOS Directness Continuity Street Crossings Visual Interest and Amenities Security C B C D C C LOS - C - This score is a composite of all five criteria, which are weighted equally. There are substantial problems that prohibit or limit the walkability of Immokalee. Including an overall lack of a complete sidewalk network. Directness – B – A grid on Main street allows many opportunities for different and direct routes. The other areas in Immokalee are spread out, and do not all have direct access to points of interest. Continuity – C – There are some sidewalks in the community, but they are not in any way uniform in their design, type, or location. Sidewalks range in size from 4 feet to 8 feet. Sidewalks are made of both concrete and asphalt. Clear zones range from 0 feet to 25 feet. Most major roads have a sidewalk on at least one side. Street Crossings – D – There is a large distance between most crossings in Immokalee. There are streets in Immokalee ranging in size from 12 feet to 30 feet. The street crossings are not uniform and are showing signs of wear. Visual Interest and Amenities – C – There is landscape associated with the main roads in this neighborhood. There are benches, trash cans, or other pedestrian features on Main Street. Security – C – The pedestrian does not have adequate space between the walking facility and the vehicular traffic on most streets. There are some street lights, but not enough for this area. This area has one of the highest pedestrian fatality rates in the state. Road safety audits have been performed to address the pedestrian safety issues in Immokalee. 14 Immokalee Walkable Community Study Directness – This is measured by determining how well the network provides sidewalks, bike lanes, or pathways along the shortest distances between destinations. This method is used to encourage trips on foot or bicycle along marked paths, sidewalks or bike lanes. Travelers are not as likely to travel on a pathway if it takes them far away from their desired destination or does not directly connect to the desired destination. Therefore, if the area is well linked, travelers are encouraged to and gener- ally keep on the sidewalks, bike lanes, and pathways. Continuity – Community continuity LOS is measured by determining the amount of continuous and uniform sidewalks, bike lanes, or pathways in the network. This LOS is measured according to two aspects: First, the maintenance, quality and uniformity of the sidewalk surface. Are the sidewalks free from gaps, barriers, or obstructions? Are the sidewalks asphalt, concrete, or lime rock? Second, are the sidewalks uninterrupted and are they continuous along the entire roadway? Tucker Avenue– Continuity LOS A Immokalee Drive– Continuity LOS F The sidewalk ends about 100 feet short of the end of the road. 15 Immokalee Walkable Community Study Street Crossings – This is measured by the amount of correctly marked crosswalks (this includes ADA compliance, curb cuts, vehicle speed, and signage). Visual Interest and Amenities – This is measured by the amount of street furniture that make the environment attractive and comfortable to walk. Well designed pedestrian space encourages more walking in the area. Generally, landscaping, garbage removal and street furniture (such as benches, signs, and various other aesthetic items) are considered part of this LOS measurement. Security – This is measured by the level of actual or perceived safety in the neighborhood, the amount of lighting, amount of clear zone (area beyond the edge of the traveled way), and a good line of sight for the pedestrian and for the vehicles to see the pedestrian. 5th Avenue Naples – Amenities LOS A Bryant Avenue—Amenities LOS F N. 9th Street– Street Crossing LOS A Jefferson Avenue—Street Crossing LOS F 16 Immokalee Walkable Community Study PHASE 2: Establishing Priority Tiers Appendix A: LOS Roadway Inventory represents an extensive amount of man hours by CCTP staff to evaluate and ground truth individual roadways or segments according to the five measures described on the previous pages. In addition, CCTP also evaluated walkability deficiencies and identified reme- dies to improve roadway LOS. CCTP staff evaluated almost every single street in Immokalee which resulted in an extensive inven- tory. The extensive data has been summarized in Exhibits 6, 7, 8, and 9 which color-code LOS results on several maps of Immokalee. In order to boil down the results, manage the data and establish a tiered priority system for the comprehensive inventory, several screens were applied to the data. 1st Screen The first screen was applied to reduce the sheer quantity of data within the LOS Inventory. Private roads were eliminated from the inventory since they are not eligible for federal funding, and that many of them only provide access to a few landowners and do not service the general public. 2nd Screen In order to further refine the list of improvement needs, roadways with LOS scores of A or B were re- moved from the second level of analysis. Roadways with an LOS score of A and B are considered to have good to excellent pedestrian conditions. While these roadways could further be enhanced to im- prove user experience, essential facilities are provided and a safe enjoyable walking environment is achieved. Given limited funds and long list of improvement needs, addressing roadways with no facili- ties or significantly deficient facilities is deemed more important. Therefore, A and B roads were re- moved from the priority analysis. Once LOS A and B roads were removed, the remaining roads were evaluated according an evaluation matrix. Evaluation Matrix The criteria identified above were incorporated into a unified evaluation matrix used to score each pro- ject individually. The scoring results are presented in Exhibit 16. It should be noted that all criteria was either assigned a score of 1 or 0, except for Planned and Programmed Improvements and Public Input. All roadways with planned or programmed improvements were given a score of 10 or 0. the score of 10 was used to ensure that these projects would rise to the top of the priorities list. While it could be argued that planned or programmed projects should not be included in overall rankings, it is important to give credit to the priority decisions made prior to this study and to ensure that these projects remain on the priority list since funding can change at a moments notice. 17 Immokalee Walkable Community Study There is often a need to modify project rankings based on changing circumstances. The evaluation matrix builds in this flexibility by adding a Public Input category which allows the MPO and PAC to increase a project’s overall score. This category is subjective and can be given any score to improve a project’s ranking. This category should be used when there is a significant public need and benefit for a given project. Evaluation Matrix Criteria: High Crash Corridors: Crash data from 2005 to 2010 was analyzed and it became evident that the majority of pedestrian and bicycle crashes and fatalities occurred along relatively few corridors. As can be seen from Exhibit 10, these high crash corridors are often the highly trav- eled major roads. These roads are also where much of the commercial activity and daily ac- tivities occur. Given the prime importance of safety and the need to address unsafe conditions this criterion was included in the evaluation. Proximity to Schools: Providing pedestrian and bicycle access to schools is a top priority. School children must be given safe, convenient, and affordable access to schools. This evaluation criterion emphasizes the need to address facility conditions around school areas and can assist the MPO with qualifying for Federal Safe Routes to School funding. Bus Routes: Roadways were evaluated to determine if they were part of an existing bus route. In order to provide mobility options, and encourage alternative modes of transportation and the use of public transit, it is important to provide pedestrian facilities to all bus stops. Bus stops also tend to follow major routes and service more activity centers and more densely populated areas making it an effective evaluation criterion. Points of Interest: Major points of interest were identified in Immokalee. These include public parks, civic building commercial activity centers, and places of high employment. All these areas generate high levels of bicycle and pedestrian traffic. Major Roads: In developing a walkable community and an efficient pedestrian system, it is important to see major roads as forming the backbone of the entire system. This backbone experiences the highest levels of travel and demands facilities that will promote efficient travel, connectivity, continuity, and user safety. As part of this evaluation major roads as well as roads connecting to major roads were given a higher priority score. Planned or Programmed improvements: The transportation planning process is complex and time-consuming. Funding comes from numerous sources and available monies often ad- dress discreet issues. Facility needs almost always exceed available funds, and as a result, projects require many years of planning and programming before they are built. This criterion is included in the evaluation methodology to acknowledge the importance of funding and allow a mechanism to rank funded projects as top priorities. Public Input: Evaluating pedestrian projects and setting priorities can be as much an art as it is a science. Numerous variables come into play so any evaluation methodology should pro- 18 Immokalee Walkable Community Study vide flexibility and allow for public input. This criterion provides the ability to ―bump up‖ a project on the priority list if there is a significant and immediate need. Priority Tiers Once all projects were scored using the evaluation matrix described above, the projects were grouped according to Priority Tiers and ordered alphabetically. Tier 1 Projects: Scores of 4-14 Represent top priority projects with the greatest need and benefit Some of these projects are planned or programmed Should be built in the short-term Tier 2 Projects: Scores of 3, Secondary priorities which with significant need and benefit Can often have a specific benefit such as providing access to schools or bus routes Should be built in the mid-term Tier 3 Projects: Scores of 0-2, Represent tertiary priorities that should only be built after Tier 1-2 priorities Are often located on local street with low traffic volumes 19 EXHIBIT 6 20 EXHIBIT 7 21 EXHIBIT 8 22 EXHIBIT 9 23 EXHIBIT 10 24 EXHIBIT 11 25 EXHIBIT 12 26 EXHIBIT 13 27 EXHIBIT 14 28 EXHIBIT 15 29 Immokalee Walkable Community Study ** The & alternate shading within the table indicates grouped road segments to identifying individual projects.

The MPO should coordination with the CRA and MSTU to ensure that their priorities are adequately reflected in the project rankings. As an extension of this study, the MPO, through its PAC, should establish performance measures or metrics to periodically evaluate walkability conditions in Immokalee. As part of updating their land development code overlays, the CRA should ensure that private development provides enhanced pedestrian and bicycle facilities, parking and amenities within their projects. The MPO should collaborate with the CRA and MSTU regarding proposed bicycle, pedestrian and landscaping improvements along Main Street. The MPO should collaborate with the CRA and MSTU regarding the implementation of the master Drainage Plan in Immokalee. The MPO should coordinate with the CRA, MSTU, Collier Area Transportation (CAT), Collier County Government, law enforcement and schools to establish education campaigns regarding bicycle and pedestrian safety. Which may include: a. Review, evaluate and report on bicycle and pedestrian safety statistic, conditions and policies. b. Provide recommendations to improve safety conditions, including education, signage, signalization, facility design, intersection design, maintenance, and innovative technolo- gies such as ―In Pavement Warning Lights‖ and ―HAWK‖ signals. c. Investigate the application of traffic calming measures, the reduction of speed limits, and ―road diets‖ within the county. d. Assist with Safe Routes to School programs. e. Coordinate safety education and training activities and programs. f. Investigate high crash areas and develop improvement projects aimed at improving safety conditions. The MPO, the CRA, MSTU and CAT should work together to ensure appropriate access to transit routes, transfer stations, and individual bus stops in Immokalee. Bus stops should be encouraged to provide a pleasant environment for users including shelters, landscaping and lighting. Facilities should meet ADA requirements and should be designed to minimize conflict with bicycle and pedestrian facilities. Bike racks and/or parking should be considered at bus stops and transfer stations.

Carver Street is approximately 1,350 LF X 2 (If sidewalks on both sides) = 2,700 LF. S. 5th Street is approximately 1,150 LF. Based on the current construction project bid, I estimated approximately $570,000 construction cost. If you split that between Carver St. and S. 5th Street, that would equate to $400,000 and $170,000 respectively. In regards to the proposal for the engineering work, this was essentially the same template used for the current project. I can see how we describe the process of the plan development more so than what is included in the plans themselves. The construction plan and design would be very similar to the current project and include the same elements. We would essentially re-design and rework everything from the edge of pavement to the right-of-way line. This would include adding sidewalks, maintaining the existing drainage patterns by adding drainage pipe, ditch inlets and mitered end sections, along with re-building each of the driveway crossings. In addition, we would add crosswalks and other markings as required with the new sidewalk locations. Specifically, the drainage improvements are only to modify the existing drainage to add the sidewalks. We are not adding any more capacity to the system. As such, a SFWMD will not be required. We did not obtain a SFWMD permit for the current project. Hopefully that covers everything.

Best Regards, Debrah Forester Office: 239-331-3266 Cell:239-285-8270 From: Ted Tryka [mailto:tryka@abbinc.com] Sent: Monday, February 19, 2018 6:47 PM To: BetancourtChristie <Christie.Betancourt@colliercountyfl.gov> Cc: SainvilusJames <James.Sainvilus@colliercountyfl.gov>; ForesterDebrah <Debrah.Forester@colliercountyfl.gov> Subject: RE: Cost Estimate Christie: Attached is a proposal for the Carver and S. 5th St. Sidewalks, in addition to the work James had asked for (Immokalee Drive and Bus Stops). I’m not sure if there are different funding sources and if they need to be split apart, but for the first draft, all the fees are together and split-out by task. In regards to the extension of S. 5th Street to Delaware Drive, there are very poor existing sidewalks to tie-into. It is about 300’ west before they tie-into the existing pathway north of the detention ponds. The existing sidewalks are basically just widenings of the roadway since they have no separation. You may consider constructing a new sidewalk(s) in this area. The Carver and S. 5th St. Sidewalks are pretty similar in length to the current sidewalk project under construction. Carver Street is approximately 1,350 LF x 2. S. 5th Street is approximately 1,150 LF. This total length of sidewalk, 3,850 LF, is approximately 90% of the current project. 90% of the current construction contract is $616,000. But that includes the south side of Eustis which has a lot of driveways and the brick pavers which makes the construction price a bit higher than normal. If we looked at the cost of 9th Street construction (Which has fewer driveways) and projected that for the total distance of 3,850 LF, the construction cost would be $522,000. The mid-point of $522,000 and $616,000 is probably the best number to use at this very early stage. That would be $570,000. Let me know if you have any questions or comments.
