DTCC stands ready to submit grant funding for approximately $375,000, <br />$204,450 of which supports 50% of the amount of funding for the sustainable design elements <br />and $170,500 of which represents 50% of the cost of the parking lot development. The parking <br />lot will be needed by DTCC as overflow parking for their evening classes. <br />The grant program requires a 50% match, therefore Orange County would be responsible for <br />providing the additional approximately $375,000, Based on the County's projected debt <br />capacity over the next four-to-five years, as presented during the August 31, 2006 work session, <br />this amount could be accommodated through the issuance of additional debt, <br />Although application does not guarantee success, DTCC reports that the projects ranks well <br />within the criteria set for grant funding. Information on the outcome of the funding request will <br />not be received until after the bid expiration date, <br />RECOMMENDATION (S): The Manager recommends that the Board cite the sustainable <br />design elements that it wishes to be included in the DTCC project; and authorize staff to notify <br />DTCC of the contract amendment details. <br />
