STATEMENT OF PURPOSE:
Attachment A - Part (b)
(1st Revision)
Budget and Scope of Work
The purpose of this Scope of Work is to elevate fiood-prone homes in New Smyrna Beach, Volusia County, Florida, funded through the Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP) DR-4337-373-R, as approved by the Florida Division of Emergency Management (Division) and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).
The Sub-Recipient, City of New Smyrna Beach, agrees to administer and complete the project per the application submitted by the Sub-Recipient and subsequently approved by the Division and FEMA. The Sub-Recipient shall complete the work in accordance with all applicable Federal, State and Local Laws, Regulations and Codes.
PROJECT OVERVIEW:
As a Hazard Mitigation Grant Program project, the Sub-Recipient proposes an elevation project to provide fiood protection to single-family residences listed below, located in New Smyrna Beach, Florida 32169.
The proposed project shall elevate the existing structures a minimum of two feet above the effective Base Flood Elevation (BFE) or the highest known fiood level, whichever is higher, plus three feet to account for sea level rise. The scope of work involves building and site preparation along with disconnection of utilities at each location. The existing structures shall be raised on a new open foundation on pilings to the proposed design elevation. All utilities shall be reconnected, and service equipment shall be elevated to the required height. Appropriate means of ingress and egress shall be constructed to access the elevated living spaces at each property. Additionally, the City of New Smyrna Beach proposes to install ADA-compliant access consisting of a lift platform medically required for homeowners at 455 DeSoto Drive, New Smyrna Beach, Florida 32169; 645 Goodwin Avenue, New Smyrna Beach, Florida 32169; 508 South Indian River Road, New Smyrna Beach, Florida 32169; 529 South Peninsula Avenue, New Smyrna Beach, Florida 32169 and 640 South Pine Street, New Smyrna Beach, Florida 32169. The existing residential properties are located within designated Special Flood Hazard Areas (SFHA) and are at imminent risk of reoccurring fiooding. The proposed elevation project intends to significantly reduce potential future flood damage to these residential properties, thereby enhancing their resilience and ensuring the safety of their occupants.
The habitable living areas of the original structure shall be elevated, and the non-habitable areas (if any) shall be converted to storage or parking. The project shall be designed and constructed in compliance with the Florida Building Code, ASCE 24-14 or latest edition, National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) standards in 44 CFR, Part 60 and/or local fioodplain ordinances or any other applicable local regulations.
A final Elevation Certificate shall be completed for closeout to certify the structure(s) was elevated to the required height.
Elevation projects must complete an inspection prior starting any construction, conducted by a qualified professional to demonstrate the proposed structures are structurally sound and capable of being elevated safely. A copy of the inspection report shall be provided to the Florida Division of Emergency Management within 12-months of the FEMA award date.
The project shall provide protection against a 100-year storm event. Activities shall be completed in strict compliance with Federal, State and Local applicable Rules and Regulations.

Administrative costs are expenses incurred by a Sub-Recipient in managing and administering the federal award to ensure that federal, state requirements are met including:
solicitation, development, review, and processing of sub-applications; delivery of technical assistance;
quarterly progress and fiscal reporting; project monitoring; technical monitoring; compliance activities associated with federal procurement requirements; documentation of quality of work verification for quarterly reports and closeout; payment of claims; closeout review and liquidation; and records retention.
Any activities that are directly related to a project are not eligible under management costs. For example, architectural, engineering, and design services are project costs and cannot be included under management costs. Similarly, construction management activities that manage, coordinate, and supervise the construction process from project scoping to project completion are project costs. These activities cannot be included under management costs.
Due to Strategic Funds Management (SFM), SRMC Interim Policy requires management costs to be obligated in increments sufficient to cover Sub-Recipient needs, for no more than one year, unless contractual agreements require additional funding. FEMA has established a threshold where annual increments will be applied to larger awards allowing smaller awards to be fully obligated. Obligations will be handled by the size of the total subaward.

Documentation shall be detailed and clearly describe each approved task performed, hours devoted to each task, and the hourly rate charged including enough information to calculate the hourly rates based on payroll records. Employee benefits and tasks shall be clearly shown on the Personnel Activity Form, and all Personnel or Contractual SRMC shall be invoiced separate from all other project costs.
Project Management Expenses (only applies to disasters prior to August 1, 2017, all others adhere to FEMA Policy #104-11-1 for SRMC): The Sub-Recipient shall pre-audit source documentation such as payroll records, project time sheets, attendance logs, etc. Documentation shall be detailed information describing tasks performed, hours devoted to each task, and the hourly rate charged for each hour including enough information to calculate the hourly rates based on payroll records.
