Program Description

Technology Upgrades to Ozark Club at Cascade County History Museum

Why This Matters

Funds will be used to install hardware increasing the remote gathering capacity of the Museum. This will mitigate current and future health concerns and allow for remote participation in Museum special events.

How is this Eligible?

The laws that identify eligible expenses of ARPA funds (Sections 602 and 603 of the Social Security Act) state that a unit of local government shall use funds to “respond to the public health emergency with respect to the Coronavirus Disease 2019 or its negative economic impacts, including assistance to house-holds, small businesses, and non-profits, or aid to impacted industries such as tourism, travel, and hospitality.” The City Commission prioritized the distribution of a portion of the ARPA allocation to local partners in 2021.

Status Updates

The City Commission approved the list of Sub Award recipients at the 12/6/22 commission meeting. City Staff are working with the organizations to complete contracts and reporting requirements.

Staff are working on completing the RFP to advertise for bids to complete the technology upgrades. The project is expected to begin construction in June and be completed by the end of August.

Staff have received 2 quotes to complete the technology upgrades to the Ozark Club, and are waiting on a 3rd quote. Once quote is received, a vendor will be selected and work is estimated to be completed in the Fall of 2023.
