Summary Explanation and Background:
On July 20, 2021, the Board allocated $50M of the County’s initial allocation of ARPA funding: $8M to each commission district for qualifying Water, Waste Water, and Stormwater projects and $2M to each commission district from Revenue Replacement for general governmental services. The Board requested staff to develop a list of meritorious water, sewer, and stormwater projects, within each commission district. The Utilities Services, Public Works, and Natural Resources Management Department Directors met and developed a list of projects that would qualify for ARPA funding and sorted the list into 3 tiers of project importance.
Tier 1 represents those projects that have funding partnership(s) and/or are high priority of the Department, shovel ready and may be completed by 2026. Tier 2 are other important projects within districts that staff has determined to be eligible for ARPA funding and may be completed by 2026. Tier 3 are stormwater projects or capital equipment that may be less likely to be completed by 2026 as required by ARPA and most likely will require revenue replacement to be utilized to fund these projects or equipment under the current U.S. Department of the Treasury guidelines. Below is a list of projects developed in consultation with each District Commissioner for which Board approval is requested and authorize the procurement process.
When developing the list of projects, the Directors provided their best estimates of project costs, however based on the prices the County has seen in recent months, there is a possibility that actual prices maybe be higher than reflect on the below list of projects. Once the procurement process is complete, the list will be updated to reflect the bid price of each project. Staff will keep each Commissioner updated on actual costs for their district and if there is need to reconsider project priorities.
