Project Description

Country: USA

Location: Casper, WY

Total Budget: $9,157

Area of Focus: Community economic development

Activity Type: Community Development: General

Summary: Partial funding of five Casper-Reveille Benches for Seniors in Casper, WY


In keeping with its mission to enrich the lives of seniors in the Casper area, Casper-Reveille wishes to continue with our Benches for Seniors program. We will install 5 benches at various sites in the community. Sites will be determined after discussion by club members.

One site in particular will be the completion of installing an additional bench at Yesness Pond as referenced in our previous Benches for Seniors grant P-4196 from the 22-23 district grant year. Our club members believe that installing at least one additional bench would be appropriate at Yesness Pond.

The cost of benches and materials has increased over the years. We have reflected a 5% increase in our budget for this project. Club members will assemble benches, pour the concrete pads, and install the benches. We will work with the local agencies that administer the chosen locations. Our expected completion of the project is 2025.


Addendum to Project Description (added after the project was signed)

Received and reviewed an updated quote for the cost of 5 benches. I have downloaded the pdf file of the quote. When submitting the grant we anticipated a 5% cost increase for the benches. However, the cost of the benches is actually $1175.00/bench which totals $5875/5 benches. Shipping cost is $593.42. Total for the benches and shipping is $6468.42. The materials and labor costs remain as projected in the original submission.

Vickie,

I apologize for the delay in paying your grant. For the first time we received more grant requests than DDF was available. We cannot request the DDF till the report balances. To make that happen we have decided to cut the DDF from every grant. Your DDF request of $4,578 will be reduced to $4,121.

If you have any questions please let me know.

Check for matching funds was received by Vicki Pollock. Vicki gave the check to Cynthia Olson for deposit. We are currently waiting on information and an invoice for the benches that we need to order. Once we have that we will order and pay for the benches. We are also waiting to finalize the locations for benches that we have proposed to the cities of Casper and Bar Nunn.
