Here is the Keys to Successful Pilot Program:
KEYS TO SUCCESSFUL PILOT PROGRAM
FEMA REGION III STANDARD PROCESS PILOT PROGRAM
(OLD METHOD) HOMEOWNER CONTRACTING
City managed construction projects on private property Homeowner choosing their own contractor and managing their own
construction
Through 3 bid processes only I or 2 bidders(lack of competition) Multi-award for 12 contractors&5 engineer/architect firms
resulting in numerous bid busts
Conservative city time estimate resulted in at least$175,000 salary City(OEM)managing grant only and providing program guidance to
equivalent annually(most not recoverable) ensure compliance (grant allows administration allowance)
City incurred additional expenses for at least 2 homes as a result of post City agreement is with homeowner not contractor
project claims (not recoverable under grant)
From time of grant application it took over 5 years to elevate 7 houses Timeframe greatly reduced once awarded all homes can begin
and 3 years later I is still being monitored following construction Immediately(13 completed in 18 months)
complaints
Project costs reduced by at least 35-45%by virtue of privatizing the
contract(not a city project)

One of the main challenges of the Pilot Program is managing homeowner expectations, FEMA provides a
"barebones elevation":
CHALLENGES OF PILOT PROGRAM
Homeowners must be more involved and be their own project Landscaping will be destroyed and not replaced
manager Grading and seeding only (functional and minimum code)
FEMA rules must be followed.NO EXTRA WORK Elevating a 40+year old home WILL cause cracks and other cosmetic
damages,it's unavoidable
FEMA elevations are functional not aesthetic Garages aren't raised,they aren't part of the living space and
(Cinderblock is not pretty) will still flood
Unforeseen conditions/existing damage is NOT covered exists 1 Small garages could become unusable for parking with the addition of
on every single home.they've been repetitively flooded required stairs and platforms
Homes out of level(as all are)should stay out of level Crawl spaces should NOT have windows and doors no matter how
Attempting to correct causes more problems tall they are,it only encourages future unauthorized conversion
Minimum code standards are just that MINIMUM Displacement will last AT LEAST 6 months and be at homeowner's
(Homes get platforms and stairs NOT replacement decks) expense.
Here are Actual Cases of Flood Insurance Reductions on Mitigated Properties:
Actual reduced flood insurance rates for mitigated propertied
$3,000 REDUCED TO $325
$7,050 REDUCED TO$474
$4,090 REDUCED TO$450 .`-a

• Include up to SRL 10 homes(VDEM limit) • Indude 3 in PAP that responded after 2019 deadline
• Most flood-prone areas • Include others that may be identified as being adjacent
• PAP/W W,Lynnhaven Colony,Southern Watershed to city owned property or existing open space
• Greatest number of flood claims • Estimated acquisition values are below the
predetermined benefits level($276k)meaning they
• Feasibility of elevation(size and condition) automatically qualify
• Most cost beneficial(benefit cost ratio) • Owner interest(voluntary program)
• Focus on<250k average to meetVDEM priority

OTHER CONSIDERATIONS
FLOOD MITIGATION ASSISTANCE BRIC
• Possible resubmission of PW Stormwater projects • Meeting with MLT&Directors to identify potential
submitted in 2017 and 2018 that were not funded projects
• Possible inclusion of RL homes on elevation grant if we • Some crossover from FMA with community projects

• RL homes still must BCA qualify
• State set aside for$600,000 per state for top ranked
• RL homes only eligible for 90%,homeowners would have project in each state (typically a state project but can
to pay a 10%cost share be a local)
• Remaining$446.4M nationally competitive

• Points for CRS • Only most severe properties qualify
• Increased community resiliency
• Fulfills Hazard Mitigation Plan actions
ELEVATION • Retain taxable structure at increased value • Home may not be fully compliant with building
