The U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Final Rule incorporated significant changes to include: Improvements to the revenue loss calculation; New eligible water and sewer projects; Expansion of eligible capital expenditure projects; Restoration of Public Sector Capacity; Continuation of Assistance to Impacted Communities. To determine how to most effectively allocate remaining ARPA Funds, County Management coordinated with multiple departments including Utilities Services, Public Works, Natural Resources Management, Housing and Human Services, and Mosquito Control to assess the needs of our community. Priority projects were determined based on shovel readiness and the ability to complete by December 2026, as mandated under ARPA.  

 

Approval is requested to begin the procurement process on the below list of ARPA eligible expenses.  Project estimates were used when developing this list of projects, however, once the procurement process is complete, actual cost of each project may be determined and projects will be updated with the current bid price. These proposed allocations include a contingency in the amount of $5,444,846 (9.31% of the total 2nd tranche), and authorizes the County Manager to shift contingency funds to projects as-needed based on actual bid price.
