1 Project Narrative Grant Number B-22-CP-MA-0374 Grantee: City of Somerville UEI: KV62KX4QF3N8 Grant Amount: $1,873,000.00 Subrecipient: Somerville Housing Authority Subrecipient UEI: HKNFBGSHG2H3 Project Name: Interstate 93 Public Housing Environmental Health Equity Project Purpose: Safe, efficient triple‐glazed windows and frames will be installed in certain apartments of the 455-unit Mystic River and Mystic View housing developments in Somerville, Massachusetts to protect the health of residents by improving indoor air quality, abating asbestos, and reducing noise. Need: Residents of the Mystic River and Mystic View housing developments adjacent to Interstate Highway 93 in Somerville, Massachusetts endure disproportionate burdens of environmental pollution due to failing windows. The Interstate 93 Public Housing Environmental Health Equity Project will protect the health of these residents by replacing certain apartment windows to improve indoor air quality, attenuate dangerous highway noise, and remove asbestos that is in the caulking of the existing windows. Extensive research has documented harmful levels of traffic‐generated air pollution and harmful levels of noise affecting residents of the Somerville Housing Authority’s Mystic Apartments. Excessive rates of cardiovascular disease and pulmonary disease, including COVID‐19, have been documented in this low‐income community, and have been empirically linked to air pollution produced by the 200,000‐vehicle per day traffic pattern on the adjacent Interstate 93 / MA State Route 38 corridor. In addition to the urgent public health and environmental justice benefits of this building retrofit, the project will result in energy use reductions for heating, cooling, and maintenance activities. Project Scope: The City of Somerville proposes to replace windows on the Interstate 93 Highway exposed side of buildings in the 455‐unit Mystic River and Mystic View housing developments with safe, efficient triple‐glazed windows and frames. Installation of new windows will reduce the disproportionate negative health impacts that residents experience by protecting them from traffic‐generated ultra‐fine particulate air pollution and noise pollution. The total project cost is $1,873,000, and the project will serve the units with windows directly exposed to the Interstate 93 Highway. The Community Project Funding (CPF) grant award will cover administrative and legal expenses, architectural and engineering fees, inspection fees, construction, and contingencies for window replacement in these units.

2 The Mystic River and Mystic View housing developments consist of 16 low-rise, three-story buildings on approximately six acres of land. Completed in 1952, they are concrete-framed with brick and stucco construction. The windows are approximately 22 years old and contain a small percentage of asbestos in the caulking. Through a Request for Proposals advertising and procurement process, an architect/engineer will be hired to assess and recommend design and choices for the new windows. The architect/engineer will document the work to be done and prepare a set of drawings and specifications to be used in the public bidding process. A public bid will be advertised, and the lowest bid from a qualified window contractor selected. The contractor will set a construction schedule in consultation with Somerville Housing Authority and the architect/engineer, and the architect/engineer will oversee the construction process. New triple glazed windows will be installed with aluminum panning and silicone caulking all around. Interior walls will be patched and painted as needed. The triple glazing of the new windows will decrease entry of pollutants and reduce noise transmission from Interstate 93 and Mystic Avenue. The additional layer of glass insulation will also reduce energy use. The asbestos present in the window caulking will be abated by a certified asbestos removal contractor. Encapsulation and air monitoring will be conducted throughout the demolition process. Safety and security plans will be strictly adhered to and monitored until the project is complete. The Interstate 93 Public Housing Environmental Health Equity project will result in the provision and installation of safe, modern windows that protect the health of public housing residents. We estimate that the project will also produce approximately 40 temporary construction jobs. Proposed Subrecipient: The City of Somerville intends to subaward the grant funds to the Somerville Housing Authority, a local authority created under state enabling legislation, which manages and maintains 1,317 low-income housing units in 11 developments. The Somerville Housing Authority will manage the bidding process, contract with and supervise the architect/engineer, and provide oversight of construction. The City will monitor Somerville Housing Authority’s work on the project and coordinate with Somerville Housing Authority on accessing grant CPF funds, amendment requests, reporting, correspondence, grant closeout, and all other grant requirements.
