Project Scope <br />Detailed Description of Capital Improvement Project - (use additional pages it necessary) <br />Our livestock department during the Fair has been struggling with having enough electrical to run fans in <br />their barns to keep the animals cool as well as having enough power to groom their animals for showing. The <br />electrical outlets have been tampered with overtime and need to be replaced. The last few years, temporary <br />solutions have been constructed to try to run power into more areas and families have been donating <br />generators to use where there is no power at all. The current state of the electrical in the barns has exposed <br />our youth exhibitors and their families to safety hazards for safely using their equipment and caring for their <br />animals, along with having a safe place to house their animals. Therefore, we want to conduct updates and <br />repairs to the electrical system with the following project scope: <br />1. Add two 50-amp plugs in our main show building (Bloom Pavilion) in the southeast comer with four <br />spider boxes and four 50-amp cords. <br />2. Inspect all electrical boxes in the three historic barns to ensure all connections are in good condition. <br />3. Install new sub panel on the east side the Swine and Sheep Barn with 14 dedicated GFCI plugs. <br />4. Install new sub panel on the west side of the Draft Horse barn with 14 dedicated GFCI plugs. <br />5. Run new conduit to cover exposed wires. <br />Project Details <br />Amount Requested from WSDA <br />Total Project Amount <br />Type of Match <br />$ 50,000.00 <br />$ 60,000.00 <br />W1 Monetary ❑ In -Kind ❑ Both Monetary & In -Kind ❑ No Match <br />Description of Match <br />Kittitas County is requesting the Kittitas County Friends of the Fairgrounds Foundation to support this <br />project with matching funds up to $10,000. <br />If your match is monetary, what is the source(s) of the matching funds? Donation from the Foundation. <br />Payment is on a reimbursement basis. <br />Do you have funds to cover parts of the project prior to reimbursement? ® Yes [—]No <br />Explain if needed: <br />Has the owner of the facility reviewed and approved this grant application? ® Yes [—]No <br />How does the project meet the health or safety requirement of the capital funding? <br />Currently, exhibitors rely on limited, tampered outlets, temporary wiring solutions, and even personal generators to <br />provide power for animal care and grooming equipment, These unsafe conditions jeopardize the wellbeing of youth <br />exhibitors, their families, and the animals housed in the barns. The project improvements will eliminate unsafe temporary <br />workarounds, reduce overheating risks for livestock, and provide a safer environment. <br />What is the impact if you were to receive a grant award less than requested? <br />Can the project be completed by May 31, 2027? <br />It will delay the project until another source of funding can be identified. <br />V Yes ❑ No <br />Applicant Certification <br />1 hereby certify under penalty of perjury that the foregoing information is true and correct to the best of my knowledge. <br />Digiluliy signed by Kady Porterfield <br />Kady Porterfield Dasc: 2025.09.26 14S9:21 -07'OD' 09/26/2025 <br />Signature of Officer Completing Application Date Signed <br />AGR-5543 (li/7/25) Information collected by WSDA becomes a public record and may be disclosed unless exempted by federal or state law.
