Dear Mr.Reinders :
Congratulations! Governor Inslee signed the 2021-2023 State Capital Budget, which includes the approval of the
Infrastructure Projects list providing a direct appropriation for Port Hadlock Wastewater Facility (Port Hadlock) in the
amount of $20,175,000.00. The Department of Commerce, which will administer the project, will retain three percent (up
to a maximum of $200,000) to cover our administrative costs through the extended period of performance to December
31, 2026. Accordingly, your net grant award will be $19,975,000.00.
Funding for the Infrastructure Projects is made available utilizing the state’s Coronavirus State Fiscal Recovery funds
through the federal American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA). The Washington State Office of Financial Management has
submitted the state’s plan for these funds to the US Department of Treasury and provided Commerce authorization to
release funds for your project.
Prior to executing a contract and receiving funds, your organization will need to fulfill the following requirements:
Provide documentation of your organization’s financial ability to complete the project. All funds must be
expended, raised, or secured by documented pledges or loans.
Any property relevant to the project must be owned or secured b y a long-term lease that remains in effect for a
minimum of ten years following the final payment date. For nonprofit grantees, a lien on owned property is also
required when receiving grants over $500,000.
Prevailing wages must be paid for all construction labor costs.
All projects must be reviewed by the Washington State Department of Archaeology and Historic Preservation and
any affected Tribes in accordance with Governor’s Executive Order 21-02.
Your project may also need to comply with LEED, the state’s green buildings standards (RCW 39.35D).
Soon you will receive the Infrastructure Projects Interim Program Guidelines and Contract Readiness Survey to assist you
with the process. Upon receipt of the Contract Readiness Survey form please complete and submit as soon as possible.
The contracting process is not initiated until a completed Contract Readiness Survey is submitted.
