Return Application to: Office of Integrated Waste Management Recycling and Contract Administration Division 201 South Andrews Avenue Fort Lauderdale, FL 33301 Attn: Douglas Drennen PAGE 3 WASTE TIRE GRANT APPLICATION YEAR 9 FY 97 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY TAMARAC PHYSICALLY CHALLENGED FITNESS TRAIL RECYCLED WASTE TIRE GRANT The City of Tamarac will provide an educational and promotional campaign geared towards physically challenged residents and visitors of Tamarac Park. The purpose of this project is to educate the public on the use and reuse of waste tires as a safe alternative to asphalt, concrete, sand or mulch ground protection installed on fitness trails. The project for physically challenged would use an existing asphalt pathway. The asphalt pathway requires patching of existing cracks and will serve as a sub -base for the pour -in -place recycled waste tire product. The project will provide for Tamarac physically challenged residents and visitors an opportunity to visit and participate in sports and provide for exercise at physically challenged exercise stations. Introduction The City of Tamarac will install 9,000 square feet of recycled waste tire pour -in -place located at Tamarac Park, 7501 North University Drive, Tamarac, Florida. Tamarac Park is an active, centrally located park within the City. Baseball, softball, little -league, basketball, and other active sports are played here. The Tamarac Comprehensive Plan and the Recreation Master Plan identified that Tamarac has a need to provide for physically challenged fitness activities. oal Tamarac's primary goal is to establish a recycled demonstration project that will help promote the advancement of education and research designed to facilitate waste tire recycling. One of our objectives to meet this goal is to increase the awareness of using recycled waste tire products as an alternative and substitute to traditional products (asphalt, concrete, sand or mulch). A second objective is to install the recycled waste tire product (pour -in -place) to provide for a safe fitness trail for those that are physically challenged. Tamarac's secondary goal is to continue to promote recycling, volume reduction, the proper disposal of solid wastes and assist market development of recycled materials. Qur Commitment The City of Tamarac participates on the Resource Recovery Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) and will continue to do so. In 1995, Tamarac received funding to install two playground surfaces using VitriTurf at Tamarac Park and Tamarac Sports Complex. The playground areas usage have increased significantly and have received public favorable response from the parents and children. The City of Tamarac proposes a unique application of the VitriTurf to develop and install a fitness trail for those physically challenged. In addition to the installation of a fitness trail, the City would install four workout stations to emphasis upper body exercise. Tamarac's emphasis is to develop an awareness of the different applications and uses of recycled waste tires. In addition, we believe that this application of recycled waste tire as a safety feature for physically challenged fitness trail is unique and will help promote the need to identify and provide for access for those physically challenged. The Tamarac Parks and Recreation Operations Manager will be the Project Manager and will provide quarterly and final construction progress reports. The TAC Representative and Public Work staff will lend assistance as needed. Tamarac will include this project in it's educational and promotional campaign for residents, with special emphasis on physically challenged residents. The promotional campaign includes press releases, monthly citywide newsletter and updates on Channel 19 and Seflin. Requirements - repair asphalt, add additional asphalt, install VitriTurf and signage. Conclusion Tamarac will work closely with Broward County waste tire representative to monitor durability of project to weather elements and usage, including drainage, and will provide a written report of it's findings within six months of installation. r� u E 0 BUDGET FITNESS TRAIL 9000 SQUARE FEET OR 1000 YARDS X $10.00 PER SQUARE YARD = $10,000.

CITY OF TAMARAC INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM NO: 96-19RKT CITY MANAGER'S OFFICE TO: CITY MANAGER DATE: AUGUST 30, 1996 FROM: ASSISTANT CITY MANAGER RE: BCOIWM YEAR 9 FOR RECYCLED WASTE TIRE FITNESS TRAIL Recommendation: Approval of resolution authorizing the City's grant application to Broward County Office of Integrated Waste Management. Issue: A grant application requesting $108,250 from Broward County Office of Integrated Waste Management for a physically challenged fitness trail surface created from recycled waste tire (pour -in -place) at Tamarac Park. Background: On September 5, 1996, the City Manager submitted a grant application to Broward County Office of Integrated Waste Management requesting $108,250 for a physically challenged fitness trail surface created from recycled waste tire (pour -in -place) to be installed at Tamarac Park. The County grant program is funded by the State of Florida Department of Environmental Protection. There is no match required by the City. The grant uses the same type of recycled waste tire product (pour -in -place) that was used at Tamarac Park and Tamarac Sport Complex. The grant provides for physically challenged access to the existing baseball diamonds and a challenge course for upper body exercise. The grant guidelines recommend that a new or unique application of the recycled waste tire products would receive greater consideration. The Parks and Recreation Operations Manager recommended the physically challenged fitness trail as a new unique project in Broward County. The grant application was submitted in anticipation of improving and expanding recreation activities for the physically challenged. Gam. gc � Dina M. McDermott c: Parks & Recreation Op. Mgr.
