Board authorizes EPA Region 7 community grant application and right-of-way RFP
Summary
The board authorized submission of an FY 2026 EPA Region 7 community grant application that staff said originated via a congressional contact; staff also has an RFP for a right-of-way agent to meet federal acquisition requirements.
Project Engineer Jeff Thompson told the board the agency needs to submit paperwork and a work plan to the U.S. EPA Region 7 to access FY 2026 community grant funds the agency is pursuing. "This, as you may recall, is a grant that we actually received from Bacon's office, for 2026," Thompson said; the board moved to authorize the grant application and the motion carried.
Thompson also reported an RFP for a right-of-way agent is open with a Sept. 3 close date; that agent would assist with easement procurement and negotiations necessary to satisfy federal acquisition process requirements before draws on the grant. The board approved staff to proceed with the application and associated procurement steps.
