A. PROJECT TITLE: Community Center Lighting Retrofit
B. PROJECT LOCATION: 1200 Prosperity Farms Road, North Palm Beach, Florida 33408-4901
C. PROJECT BACKGROUND: This funding was allocated to the Florida Department of
Agriculture and Consumer Services, Office of Energy from the U.S. Department of Energy (USDOE).
The purpose of this grant program is to assist eligible small local government entities (local
municipalities with a population of up to 50,000; and counties with an unincorporated population of up
to 200,000) in reducing their total energy use, increase energy efficiency, reduce energy costs through
the replacement of inefficient lighting with energy efficient lighting, and evaluate actual energy
savings received as a result of the project. This competitive grant program is designed to provide
funding to eligible local governments to make energy efficient upgrades to indoor or outdoor lighting
in publicly accessible, community -oriented facilities, such as libraries, museums, parks, and
community centers (examples given for illustrative purposes only). Energy savings must be tracked by
the subrecipient for at least one year following completion of the project and reported to the
department.
The Village of North Palm Beach is a small coastal community located in Northern Palm Beach
County. The Village has a current population of 12,574 (2017 BEBR OF Estimate), with the 2010
Census population being 12,105 residents. The community is one of the oldest in the northern part of
the County with many of the facilities including parks being constructed decades ago. Over the last
several years the Village has made becoming more energy efficient a priority. This effort began in
2013 when the Village was awarded a EECBG grant to retrofit the ballfield at Osboume Park. The
combination of partnering with the State and Federal governments to utilize new green technology at
the visible and heavily used park site proved to be the catalyst for the green initiative, The Village has
committed to improving existing facilities such as the recently renovated public library and integrating
modern technology into all new construction projects. Since the completion of the EECBG project, the
City has moved forward with assessing all its facilities especially those that experience high use by the
public. While efforts have been made to take action when possible, funding to incorporate innovative
technology into existing facilities has been difficult to provide.
The proposed project is to replace 28 lighting fixtures at the Community Center Gymnasium with
modem LED fixtures. The Community Center is located within a 11.5 -acre park that contains
ballfrelds, courts, trails, playgrounds and parking. The 11,500 square foot facility was constructed in
1983 and was considered innovative in it's design and use of modem technology for the period. The
Center was the first of its kind for the region and would be the model for future facilities constructed in
surrounding communities. The Community Center is maintained by 4 full-time and 1 -part time staff
members, The facility is open 42 hours a week, 52 weeks a year and is the largest indoor recreation
and cultural space in the Village.
FDACS-02017
Page 17 of 39
The indoor gymnasium is the focal point of the structure, being the largest element at 8,500 square feet
and the most used functioning almost every hour the center is open. The gym host thousands of users
from youth and adult athletic leagues, concerts and performances and other community gatherings. The
gym has a stage that facilitates cultural performances by both children and seniors through the year.
The gym is used almost 2200 hours annually. The implementation of new technology in such a highly
visible location will enhance awareness of the importance of energy efficiency.
The proposed grant project will take place within the gymnasium. In 2016 the Village had an
assessment performed which included evaluating current use and technology and developing
recommendations for future improvements. The project is a result of this report.
D. PROJECT OBJECTIVES: The goal of the SEP is to provide leadership to maximize the benefits
of energy efficiency and renewable energy through communications and outreach activities,
technology deployment and accessing new partnerships and resources. The USDOE has established
the following objectives that complement program goals articulated in the SEP Strategic Plan:
• Transform energy markets in partnership with states to accelerate near tern deployment of
energy efficiency and renewable technologies.
• Promote an integrated portfolio of energy efficiency and renewable energy solutions to
meet US energy security, economic vitality and environmental quality objectives.
• Strengthen core state energy programs to develop and adopt leading market transformation
initiatives.
E. PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
Task 1: Remove and replace 28 high bay metal halide light fixtures with 28 energy efficient LED
light fixtures in the Community Center Gymnasium.
• Task 1 a: Select a vendor following the procurement procedures of 2 CFR 200, to install
energy efficient LED lighting in gymnasium.
• Task I b: Complete engineering and design plans.
• Task 1 c: Obtain permits, if necessary.
• Task 1 d: Install lights, controls and wiring.
• Task 1 e: Submit a report to the Office of Energy including the procurement documents
used to select the vendor, the contract between the Grantee and the vendor, photographs
of the installed lighting, and a copy of the operation and maintenance manual.
Task 2: Monitor Energy usage/savings. Energy savings/usage will be tracked for a 1 -year period
after the completion of the installation.

1. BUDGET DETAIL:
Using the definitions provided below, the detailed, line-item budget clarifies the Budget Summary
shown in Section G. Budget Category Sub-Totals have been rounded to the nearest whole dollar value.
Up to 10% of grant funds may be used for administrative costs, excluding the cost of meeting reporting
requirements of the program. Administrative costs are defined as: allowable, reasonable, and
allocable Direct and Indirect costs related to overall management of the awarded grant (including
travel). For each budget line-item, the appropriate column identifies if the cost is: 1) Grant or Match,
2) a Direct cost used to calculate Indirect Costs (if approved) and 3) whether the cost is Administrative
in nature. A description of what is required for each budget category is as follows:
1. Salaries — Identify the persons to be compensated for work on this project by name (if known),
position, and title. Show the hourly cost and total hours to be charged for each person or position.
Divide annual salaries by 2080 hours and nine month academic salaries by 1560 hours, to find the
hourly rate.
2. Fringe Benefits — Multiply the rate by the total salaries to which fringe benefits apply. If the rate
is variable, explain and show calculations.
3. Travel — List trips by their purpose and/or destination. Indicate the number of days for each trip.
The Department will only reimburse for travel at the appropriate State of Florida rate (Section
112.061, Florida Statutes), using the forms referenced in Payment Request Packet. Be prepared to
provide the Department with details on costs utilized to calculate the "Amount Budgeted' for each
trip.
4. Supplies & Other Expenses — List expendable supplies by category description, unit costs and
quantity. List other expenses not included in any of the above categories. Examples would be
printing, copying, postage, communications, etc. Non-expendable equipment valued at less than
$1,000 maybe listed also. Include only expenses directly related to the project, not expenses of a
general nature. For Match only, list costs related to donated real property such as land (not to
exceed the fair market value of the property).
5. Equipment— List non-expendable personal property/equipment valued at $1,000 or more by
description, unit cost, and quantity. Computers and data -processing equipment should be
described in detail.
6. Contractual Services — Subcontractors should provide the same information required by this
budget table, with the following exceptions: (a) when professional services are provided at a pre-
existing approved rate or fee shown on the budget; or (b) the subcontract is to be obtained
competitively. For either (a) or (b), show an estimated maximum amount.
7. Total Budget Category —Show the total of all line-items within a Budget Category.
8. Total Budget —Show the total of all categories.
