WIIA funding could cover up to 60 m of the net project costs up to a $5 million grant award (potentially 70% if emerging contaminant data in affected wells is above the State maximum contaminant levels-MCLs). WI1A could help the Town offset the amount of local cash or bond financing needed to complete the water line extension. The deadline for 2024 is June 14, and WIIA funding has generally become a once-per-year cycle with submissions between May and September (next round therefore expected in 2025). There are two tasks required in completing the WIIA submission. The first is preparation of the WIIA application itself, which will include narratives, forms, financing information from the Town, and coordination of all attachments, including SEQR documents and SZ lP© consultation. C.T. Male would complete Part 1 of the Full EAF and work with Town Counsel in determining the appropriate SEQR determination. The second task is completion of an Engineering Report which is required in a format outlined by NYSDCIH and NYSEFC. This report would include the following: a) Preparation of an Executive Summary b) Project Background and History to discuss site information, ownership and service area, existing facilities, need for the project, and capacity development c) Alternatives Analysis to discuss various alternatives to correct the deficiencies targeted for the project including a description of any and all alternatives, budget level cost analysis and non-monetary factors for each alternative d) Summary and Comparison of Alternative(s) Civil Engineering . Environmental Services + Survey Services • Land Services . Architecture Energy & Building Systems Services • Electrical Engineering C.T. MALE ASSOCIATES Supervisor John Strough Page - Z e) Recommended and Selected Alternative f) Engineering Report Certification g) Smart Growth discussion (and the Smart Growth. Assessment Form.) h) Figures, Maps, and any other supporting Appendices We will also complete and attach an EFC Capacity Development Evaluation Form as applicable to the proposed project, as an Appendix to the Engineering Report. Our fee to complete the WIIA Application Package including the EFC�ompliant Engineering Report is $16,500, which would include all direct reimbursable expenses.
