Explanation:
The Department of Public Utilities has applied for financial assistance through the Resilient Florida Grant Program. Administered by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (“FDEP”), the grant will fund three critical projects to make the City more resilient to flooding and stormwater issues.
The projects include the Daffodil Pump Station Project, the Backflow Preventers Project, and the Eco Grande Project.
These projects will help the City better manage stormwater and reduce flooding, improving residents' safety and quality of life. Grant funding will cover a portion of the costs, with the City providing a dollar-for-dollar (1:1) match.
If awarded, the appropriate City officials will execute an agreement(s) for the grant funding through the FDEP Resilient Florida Grant Program in amounts up to $4,750,000.00 for the Daffodil Pump Station Project, up to $1,331,850.00 for the Backflow Preventers Project, and up to $500,000.00 for the Eco Grande Project.
