Box 758 Contract Number C-853328 Greeley, CO 80632 • I. Final Progress Report The unincorporated area of Wattenberg was the beneficiary of a CDBG grant for improving the town's public water system. The grant from the Department of Local Affairs (DOLA) was made to Weld County with the Larimer-Weld Regional Council of Governments providing grant administration. The DOLA contract with Weld County was amended twice with the final award being $154,200. The following provides the requested information for the two line items: administration and construction. A. Administration - $22,732.40 (as amended) 1. National Objectives Served ' Grant administration has included project management as well as final design engineering. While neither of these activities directly serve the CDBG objectives, both indirectly meet the objectives by insuring that the water system improvements constructed are well designed and that the construction process has met all state and federal requirements. The construction of the water system improvements meets the objective of upgrading community facilities to aid in the prevention of health and safety hazards. 2. Actions Accomplished The administration of the grant accomplished the following activities: - had adjudicated the town' s water rights for the Wattenberg Improvement Association; - completed a flood plain review and environmental assessment leading to a "finding of no significant impact"; Wattenberg CDBG Completion Report Page 2 - selected, by a competitive process, a State licensed engineer, and contracted for the final design engineering and resident inspection of the project during construction; - completed necessary activities for the civil rights, labor standards, and Davis-Bacon prevailing wage rates regulations; - selected, by a competitive process, a contractor and contracted for the construction and installation of the water system improvements; and 4W;': - completed all accounting, audit and other documentary activities necessary for managing the grant. 3.
