Project LocationCity of Shellman
Randolph County
Project Specifics• Alternatives fully explored• 2 phases to adequately address the problem• Completely solving the issue = $835,817.00• Phase I (FY14):
-Construction of 4,600 linear feet of main trunk line
-12 new manholes
-New duplex lift station
-$436,000.00
Survey Methodology
• Universe of 437 occupied households within the city (U.S. Census 2010) = 250 surveys needed
• Randomly started within the city limits
• Skipped every third house
• If no one was home, survey left at door
• Repeat attempts to survey those selected houses were made
• If unit was vacant, the next occupied house was surveyed
• Guide to Acceptable Survey Methodology was used to extrapolate total number of residents, low-moderate income residents, and minority residents
Survey Tips
• Use the help of local government employees• Be sure to include demographic questions• Ask appropriate questions for better local
information• Leave a comment section • If resident is hesitant, explain their help is
needed and tell how the project will benefit the area
Competitiveness
• Project Readiness– Engineer and Administration Procurement– Environmental Review completed
• Low Match– Average Match/Leverage FY14 = $132,155.17– Shellman Match/Leverage = $27,000.00
• Low Cost per Person– Average Cost/Person FY14 = $4,265.27– Shellman Cost/Person = $524
Things to Consider
• The Numbers– Should be checked and rechecked– Not just budget – houses, beneficiaries,
engineering/architecture fees– Should be the same on every form
• Documentation– Not only citizen support and pictures– Letters of Support with specific match/leverage amounts– These amounts should be attainable and easily documented
when completed
