FEMA Accelerated Awards Strategy (FAASt)

• Project type: Distribution
• Project ID: 542690
• Federal cost share: $6,199,877

There are an estimated 500,000 streetlights in Puerto Rico that are owned by Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority "PREPA" and serviced by LUMA. While assessing the distribution streetlighting system, it is anticipated that numerous damaged streetlights will be identified that require immediate repair to avoid safety hazards, violations of federal or local ordinance, and imminent equipment failures.

The strategy for these repairs is to create a project per municipality. Maunabo municipality has a total of 2,359 luminaires of which damage was estimated for 70% of these luminaires. For work execution purposes, the municipality was divided in areas.

All this information will be evaluated by FEMA PA/EHP/HM for the final obligation.

• Project type: Distribution feeders
• Project ID: 542762
• Federal cost share: $1,250,703

The facilities in the project are part of the feeder systems in the Arecibo Region. These interconnected and inter-functional distribution feeders (sites) establish the electrical distribution system. The feeders all originate from a substation (start) and serve customers along a route to various locations (end). The coordinates represented by GPS end is the end of the mainline backbone of each feeder.

These feeders are a subset of projects identified in the Distribution Feeders – Arecibo Short Term projects in the PREPA 10-Year Infrastructure Plan. All this information will be evaluated by FEMA PA/EHP/HM for the final obligation.

• Project ID: 173062
• Federal cost share: $3,005,321.31

El plantel Dr. José N Gándara consta de 3 estructuras y terrenos circundantes fuera de las zonas de inundación en el municipio de Aibonito. La escuela fue construida en 1981. Edificio 1 (40,320 pies cuadrados), edificio 2 (6,864 pies cuadrados) y edificio 3 (81 pies cuadrados). Para este proyecto de recuperación, el solicitante utilizará contratos para las reparaciones de la escuela y para restaurar las instalaciones a su diseño, capacidad y función previas al desastre dentro de la huella existente y con materiales en especie. El solicitante pedirá asistencia al personal del HMP de FEMA para desarrollar la propuesta de mitigación de riesgos adecuada para reconstruir una instalación más resistente en beneficio del sistema de escuelas públicas de Puerto Rico, específicamente para este municipio de Aibonito. Este proyecto fue obligado con su Versión 1 (HMP incluido) en febrero de 2022 y la mejor participación federal en los costos de $3,005,321.31.
