1. Statement of the Problem:
Despite the best efforts of Miami Police Department ("MPD"), the City of Miami ("City") must still address its ongoing
problem with DUI VIOLATORS also known as IMPAIRED DRIVERS. Some of these drivers are well aware of the law, but
choose to blatantly violate it. On the other hand, the City of Miami is an attractive destination for tourists and immigrants
who may not understand DUI laws and consequently violate them in ignorance. Notwithstanding the reason, data shows
that Miami still has an unpredictable, persistent DUI problem.
Miami is a growing city with an estimated population of 430,332 people. In Downtown Miami alone, 6,213 condos, 3,767
apartments, and 1,792 hotel units were under construction as of June 2015 (1). Miami's development has not only led to
a population increase, but also an increase in tourists drawn to its plethora of entertainment venues. The growing
population and visitors to the City must be proactively informed of the dangers of impaired driving through enforcement of
DUI traffic laws and most importantly public education.
Miami Police Department seeks to ADDRESS the IMPAIRED DRIVING emphasis area of the SHSP. MPD is in critical
need of Florida Department of Transportation ("FDOT") funds to continue DUI enforcement efforts and provide public
education to motorists. DUI enforcement and educational literature is instrumental in MPD's efforts to remove DUI
violators from our roadways.
The City of Miami has a vested interest in reducing alcohol and drug related crashes and fatalities. Along with the human
suffering caused from injuries, disabilities and fatalities, there are also substantial economic ramifications. Traffic crashes
often result in large medical expenses, loss of wages, as well as property damage not only for the individuals involved, but
also for the City and its residents as this can potentially represent millions of dollars in economic losses.

Supporting Data:
In the past THREE YEARS, the City of Miami has seen a fluctuation in the number of alcohol related CRASHES as
exhibited below. in 2015, the number of crashes was greater than crashes in 2013. Notably, from 2013 to 2014, there
was a resurgence in crashes.
Year Number of Alcohol Related Crashes
2015 150
2014 174
2013 146
Equally critical in the City's jurisdictional boundaries, are the total number of traffic fatalities which have occurred. The
number of traffic fatalities almost doubled from 2014 to 2015. The number of DUI related fatalities decreased from 2013
to 2014, but then increased again in 2015. Please see detailed statistical information below on TRAFFIC FATALITIES and
DUI RELATED FATALITIES.

To reduce the number of alcohol related crashes, the Miami Police Department would like to continue to dedicate
attention to DUI arrests. Department wide, DUI arrests have decreased, as patrol officers have focused more on violent
crime and non -traffic offenses. Through FDOT funding, the department seeks to refocus attention on impaired driving to
decrease the number of DUI crashes and fatalities in the City of Miami. It only takes one drunk driver to cause injury or
death and forever destroy the lives of others. While the drunk driving arrests illustrated below represent a fraction of the
number of drivers who are imparied in a given year, each arrest averts a potential threat to the lives and safety of the
community..

2013 462
In impaired driving, the City of Miami is ranked number four and lies within the top 20% of cities in the FY2017 Highway
Safety Matrix - Ranking of Florida Cities (2), Miami's POPULATION increased from 417,650 in 2013 to 430,332 in 2015,
a total of 16,440 people. Miami is the county seat of Miami -Dade County and is a destination for a number of the millions
of tourists visiting the county annually. In 2014 alone, there were 14.6 million visitors to the county; countless visitors are
potentially unaware of local DUI laws and at risk of becoming violators (3). The need for increased impaired driver
enforcement is highlighted in the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration's (NHTSA) 2013/14 National
Roadside Survey during which 9,000 drivers across the country were voluntarily surveyed. The survey revealed that 1.5%
of drivers on weekend evenings had a blood alcohol (BAC) of .08. Because the greater Miami area is home to a vibrant
nightlife with numerous clubs and restaurants coupled with the fact it is a world famous tourist destination, drinking and
driving is very prevalent. Furthermore, given its setting, it is likely that the percentage of impaired drivers identified in the
NHTSA study would be exceeded in Miami, posing a greater threat to the public than in other communities.

2. Proposed Solution:
Miami Police Department will implement the deterrence COUNTERMEASURE of enforcement and use publicized sobriety
checkpoints and high visibility saturation patrols denoted in Chapter 1, Section 2. Deterrence: Enforcement found in the
Countermeasures That Work guide. Research has shown these countermeasures are successful in reducing impaired
driving. Over a short period of time publicized sobriety checkpoints have demonstrated effectiveness in several high
quality evaluations with consistent results. High visibility saturation patrols have demonstrated effectiveness in certain
situations, also over a short period of time.

3. Project Objectives
4. Evaluation
With FDOT FUNDING, Miami Police Department will work to decrease impaired driving related traffic crashes and
fatalities and to enhance its enforcement efforts and deterrence capability by utilizing DUI checkpoints and DUI saturation
patrol COUNTERMEASURES. MPD will conduct at least one (1) DUI checkpoint each quarter. All checkpoints will be
either large-scale operations requiring a large complement of 30 to 50 officers or low manpower operations requiring a
small complement of 10 to 15 officers. Off duty personnel need to be used to conduct the checkpoints and thus, paid an
overtime rate. We will employ no more than two (2) sergeants as supervisors and a minimum of 10 officers to operate the
checkpoint and three (3) public service aides to support vehicle impoundment, breath testing, etc. Due to department
policy, a lieutenant must be in charge of a checkpoint, we respectfully request that a lieutenant be allowed to participate in
the project. We will also employ two (2) officers to conduct one (1) DUI saturation patrol each week. By providing
manpower and equipment (BAT mobile, light tower, etc.), MPD will partner with and assist other local agencies and
leverage this grant to multiply the effectiveness of the DUI checkpoint operations.
Pre and post operations' briefings will be conducted to ensure all officers are made aware and understand the policies
and procedures, goals, duties, and objectives of the operation. This effort is also being initiated as part of the "Drive
Sober or Get Pulled Over" initiative enforcement campaign. Officers will be on alert to apprehend motorists who are
driving impaired. MPD will show zero tolerance for motorists who violate Florida's traffic laws. In our DUI enforcement
operations, we will utilize officers that have been trained in Standardized Field Sobriety Testing (SFST) or have attended
the Advanced Roadside Impaired Driving Enforcement Course (ARIDE). Whenever possible, we will use our certified
Drug Recognition Experts (DRE) the elite DUI enforcement officers for MPD. At the DUI checkpoints, we will provide
educational literature to every motorist on the dangers and impact of driving under the influence.
Each checkpoint will have a high visibility police presence in an effort to reduce serious automobile crashes, We will work
with the Miami -Dade County State Attorney's Office, which frequently attends our DUI checkpoints to assist us in ensuring
compliance with state guidelines.
MPD will work with the media to increase the public's.awareness of arrest as a consequence for driving while impaired by
alcohol or other drugs. The media will be invited to participate in the sobriety checkpoint operations and will be provided
with the results of the checkpoints.
BUDGET items listed in the grant directly relate to the project as they are instrumental in its execution. PERSONNEL
SERVICES encompass overtime salary and benefits including Medicare and social security, and other expenses for
essential personnel working DUI checkpoints and saturation patrols and those performing clerical functions (report
preparation and submission). FDOT funding will pay for sworn and non -sworn law enforcement personnel with these
ranks: Public Service Aide, Police Officer, Corporal, Sergeant and Lieutenant.
Sustainability:
Miami Police department is committed to making Miami's streets safe from IMPAIRED DRIVERS and DUI VIOLATORS.
MPD will work to the greatest extent possible to SUSTAIN the Miami DUI Checkpoint and Saturation Patrol Overtime
Project after grant funding is expended. MPD will continue conducting its own DUI checkpoints using a combination of on
duty officers and if surplus money is available, officers working limited overtime hours. We will assist other agencies with
their DUI checkpoints using ,on -duty officers. The City of Miami's Office of Grants Administration will also conduct an
ongoing search for grant opportunities to ensure the project maintains funding.

1) Conduct at least one (1) DUI Checkpoint (regular large scale operation or low manpower operation) each quarter.
2) Conduct at least one (1) DUI Saturation Patrol each week.
3) Support 20 local and state DUI checkpoints with manpower and equipment
4) During the grant period, reduce the number of alcohol related traffic crashes in the City of Miami by five (5%)
percent in comparison to 150 crashes in 2015.
5) During the grant period, reduce the number of alcohol related traffic fatalities in the City of Miami by 33% in
comparison to three (3) fatalities in 2015.
6) Officers will hand out educational pamphlets provided by MPD, to 100% of the motorists encountered during DUI
Checkpoint and Saturation Patrols on the dangers of driving under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs consistent with
the State of Florida's "Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over" initiative.
4. Evaluation:
The PROCESS EVALUATION method is most suitable for evaluating the number of DUI checkpoints, DUI saturation
patrols, and motorists who received educational literature. This method lends itself to assessing the completion of steps
taken to achieve desired program outcomes. Conducting the checkpoints and patrols and providing literature are all part
of the process of reducing alcohol related fatalities and alcohol related traffic crashes, they are the "steps taken".
The OUTCOME EVALUATION method will be used to evaluate reduction in alcohol related fatalities and reduction in
alcohol related traffic crashes. This method provides a framework for analyzing these quantifiable objectives in light of the
bottom line. This method measures well, whether or not quantifiable goals such as the aforementioned have been met.

Subrecipients providing goods and services to the Department should be aware of the following time frames. The FDOT
State Safety Office has a 30 -day review process to approve goods and services that starts on the date of receipt of
financial reimbursement request. After that review and approval, the Department has 20 days to deliver a request for
payment (voucher) to the Department of Financial Services. The 20 days are measured from the latter of the date the
invoice is received or the goods or services are received, inspected, and approved. Financial reimbursement requests
may be returned if not completed properly. If a payment is not available within 40 days from the FDOT State Safety Office
approval, a separate interest penalty at a rate as established pursuant to Section 55.03(1), F.S,, will be due and payable,
in addition to the financial reimbursement request amount, to the subrecipient. Interest penalties of less than one (1)
dollar will not be enforced unless the subrecipient requests payment. Financial reimbursement requests that have to be
returned to a subrecipient because of subrecipient preparation errors will result in a delay in the payment. The financial
reimbursement request payment requirements do not start until a properly completed financial reimbursement request is
provided to the Department.
Reimbursement shall be made only after receipt and approval of goods and services. If the Department determines that
the performance of the subrecipient is unsatisfactory, the Department shall notify the subrecipient of the deficiency to be
corrected, which correction shall be made within a time -frame to be specified by the Department. The subrecipient shall,
within five days after notice from the Department, provide the Department with a corrective action plan describing how the

performance levels, deliverable deficiencies, or contract non-compliance. If the corrective action plan is unacceptable to
the Department, the subrecipient shall be assessed a non-performance retainage equivalent to 10% of the total financial
reimbursement request. The retainage shall be applied to the financial reimbursement request for the then current billing
period. The retainage shall be withheld until the subrecipient resolves the deficiency. If the deficiency is subsequently
resolved, the subrecipient may bill the Department for the retained amount during the next billing period. If the
subrecipient is unable to resolve the deficiency, the funds retained will be forfeited at the end of the Agreement's term.

agreement or equipment purchased with subgrant funds meet the requirements as specified by the subgrant.
33. Overtime. Overtime hours are intended for enhanced/increased traffic safety enforcement. The overtime pay rate for
officers is based on actual cost per employee in accordance with the subrecipie4s payroll policy. Each subrecipient shall
comply with its own policy and Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) requirements and thresholds for overtime accrual and
payment. Additional enforcement may be called overtime, off duty, extra, additional, etc., as Fong as it

the equipment for the authorized purposes of the project, whether or not the project continues to be supported by the
Federal award, unless the FDOT State Safety Office, on behalf of USDOT, provides written authorization for another use
of the equipment that is permissible under 2 CFR Section 200.313. Any equipment purchased with Federal highway
safety funds that is not being used by the subrecipient or its implementing agency for the purposes described in the
project or in accordance with other authorized uses under 2 CFR Section 200.313, is subject to repossession by the
FDOT State Safety Office, on behalf of the USDOT. Items that are repossessed shall be disbursed to agencies that agree
to use the equipment for the activity described in this project or for other uses authorized by USDOT.
35. Replacement or Repair of Equipment. The subrecipient and its implementing agency are responsible, at their own
cost, for replacing or repairing any equipment purchased with Federal highway safety funds that is damaged, stolen, or
lost, or that wears out as a result of misuse. The FDOT State Safety Offices retains the right to replace or repair any
equipment for statewide programs based on exceptional individual circumstances.
36. Ineligibility for Future Funding. The subrecipient and its implementing agency agree that the Department shall find

(b) Failure to continue funding positions created with highway safety funds after the Federal funding cycle ends,
(c) Failure to provide required performance and final narrative reports in the required time frame,
(d) Failure to perform work described in Part II of the subgrant agreement,
(e) Providing fraudulent performance reports or reimbursement requests,
(f) Misuse of equipment purchased with Federal highway safety funds.

available for review if requested.
39. Equipment. Any equipment purchased under this subgrant with highway safety funds shall not replace previously
purchased equipment that is damaged, stolen, lost, or that wears out as a result of misuse, whether the equipment was
purchased with federal, state, or local funds.
40. Vehicles. Any agency receiving subgrant funds to purchase a vehicle (excluding law enforcement vehicles) shall
maintain a travel log that contains the beginning and ending mileage, location, and purpose of travel. All agencies must
report any vehicle use (excluding law enforcement vehicles) and maintenance with each request for reimbursement using
20

SAFETY
09/16
the Safety Grant Vehicle Use Form (FDOT Form No. 500-065-21) and the Safety Grant Equipment Maintenance Form
(FDOT Form No, 500-065-22).
Vehicles purchased with federal highway safety funds shall be used for program use only and in accordance with Chapter
608-1.004 Florida Statutes, Subrecipients who are responsible for the operation and use vehicles for official state
business are allowed to permit persons other than state officials or employees to travel in the vehicle provided these
persons are conducting official state business or only on special occasions if the purpose of the travel can be more
usefully served by including such persons and no additional expense is involved.
It is permissible to transport persons other than state officials and employees during disasters and emergency situations
where the state must protect life and property. Providing assistance to motorists whose vehicles are disabled may be
considered as an emergency when there is a need to protect life and property.
Any vehicles used for personal reasons or not being used by the subrecipient or its implementing agency for the purposes
described in the subgrant shall be subject to repossession by the FDOT State Safety Office.
41. Child Safety Seats. Any implementing agency that receives funds to purchase child safety seats must have at least
one staff member who is a current Certified Child Passenger Safety Technician. Failure to comply with this provision shall
result in the termination of this agreement.
42. Buy America Act. The subrecipient and its implementing agency agree to comply and require consultants and
contractors to comply with all applicable standards, orders, and regulations issued pursuant to the Buy America Act (23
U.S.C. 313 et seq) herein incorporated by reference. The subrecipient shall include the following Buy America provisions
in all subcontract awards:
The Buy America Act prohibits the .use of Federal highway safety grant funds to purchase any manufactured product
whose unit purchase price is $5,000 or more, including a motor vehicle, that is not produced in the United States. NHTSA
may waive those requirements if (1) their application would be inconsistent with the public interest; (2) such materials and
products are not produced in the United States in sufficient and reasonably available quantities and of a satisfactory
quality; or (3) the inclusion of domestic material will increase the cost of the overall project contract by more than 25
percent.
Each manufactured end product must comply with the provisions of the Buy America Act. Additionally, any manufactured
add-on to an end product is, itself, an end product that must comply with the Act.
To be reimbursed with Federal highway safety grant funds for purchase, a State must comply with the requirements of
the Buy America Act. Non-compliance will result in denial of reimbursement.
43. E -Verify. Subrecipients:
(a) shall utilize the U.S. Department of Homeland Security's E -Verify system to verify the employment eligibility of
all new employees hired by the Vendor/Contractor during the term of the contract; and
(b) shall expressly require any subcontractors performing work or providing services pursuant to the state
contract to likewise utilize the U.S. Department of Homeland Security's E -Verify system to verify the
employment eligibility of all new employees hired by the subcontractor during the contract term.
44. Program Income. Program income means gross income earned by subrecipient that is directly generated by a
supported activity or earned as a result of the subgrant award during the subgrant period of performance. Program
income must be deducted from total allowable costs to determine the net allowable costs. Program income must be used
for current costs and any remaining program income must be offset against the final request for reimbursement. Program
income that the subrecipient did not anticipate at the time of the subgrant award must be used to reduce the Federal
award and subrecipient contributions rather than to increase the funds committed to the project.
45. Indirect Costs. If a subrecipient has a federally negotiated indirect cost rate, it may be applied to the subgrant. If a
subrecipient does not have a federally negotiated indirect cost rate, a rate up to the de minimis indirect cost rate of 10% of
21
500-065-01
SAFETY
09/16
modified total direct costs may be applied. A subrecipient may opt to request a lower or no indirect costs rate, even if it
has a federally negotiated indirect cost rate. The State Safety Office will not coerce or negotiate with a subrecipient to
reduce its indirect costs rate for this sugbrant, per federal regulation. Subgrants with indirect costs will be awarded based
on cost benefit and available funding.
46. Impaired Driving Enforcement, Training and Reporting. Any law enforcement officer who takes enforcement
action and receives compensation under an impaired driving subgrant must have successfully completed at least one of
the following within the last five years:
1. NHTSA/IACP 24 hour DWI Detection and Standardized Field Sobriety Testing (SFST) course
2. NHTSA/IACP 4 hour DWI Detection and Standardized Field Sobriety Testing (SFST) refresher course
3. NHTSA/IACP DWI Detection and Standardized Field Sobriety Testing (SFST) Instructor Development course
4. NHTSA/IACP 8 Hour DWI Detection and Standardized Field Sobriety Testing (SFST) Instructor Update
course
5. NHTSA/IACP Advanced Roadside Impaired Driving Enforcement (ARIDE) course
6. Be an active certified Drug Recognition Expert (DRE)
The State Safety Office reserves the right to request a copy of any subgrant funded checkpoint After Action Report.
All law enforcement agencies that receive impaired driving subgrant funding should participate in all NHTSA impaired
driving moblizations for the following holidays and events: New Year's Day, NFL Super Bowl, St. Patrick's Day, Cinco de
Mayo, Independence Day, Labor Day, and Halloween.
All law enforcement agencies shall conduct High Visibility Enforcement of impaired drivers while conducting enforcement
under the subgrant.
High Visibility Enforcement is:
Intense: Enforcement activities are over and above what normally takes place.
Frequent: Enforcement occurs often enough to create general deterrence.
Visible: A majority of the public sees or hears about the enforcement.
Strategic: Enforcement targets high-risk locations during high-risk times.
A strong emphasis of enforcement operations shall be during the hours of 6:00pm to 6:00am. Agencies should ensure
that enforcement saturatio n/woIfpack/roving patrols are conducted in periods of no fewer than 3 consecutive hours.
Use of subgrant funding will not be utilized or reimbursed for continuing priorly initiated, investigations, court or
Administrative Hearings, and enforcement from aircraft.
