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. Actions Remaining and Anticipated Completion Date
The only administrative activities which remain and the estimated
completion dates are:
- completion and submittal of the final quarterly report and
pay request - 10/5/84;
- provision of the as-built drawings and maintenance and
operation manual to the Wattenberg Improvement Association -
10/5/84;
- provision of the engineer's certification of the water system
improvements to the Colorado Water Quality Control Division -
10/5/84; and
- completion of the LWRCOG project and agency audit for 1984
(January-December) - 4/15/85.

4. Total Actual Expenditures,
It is estimated that when all bills are received, total actual
expenditures for the administration line item will be $22,733.
5. Summary of Benefits for Low/Moderate Income Households and
Minorities
Project benefits from administration are identical to those
accrued from project construction and are fully described in
Section B-5 which follows.
Wattenberg CDBG Completion Report -
Page 3
B. Construction - $131 ,467.60 (as amended)
1 . National Objectives Served
The project served the national objective of upgrading community
facilities to aid in the prevention of health or safety
problems. The project installed a standby electric generator,
new booster pumps on the well , a flashing light alarm system,
electrical surge protection and low water sensors for the purpose
of eliminating health hazards associated with an emergency
shut-down of the water system. The above items will help protect
the water supply in times of electric power failures and will
provide advance warning should the well or booster pumps fail .
New 6" water mains, booster pumps, and fire hydrants were
installed to provide increased water pressure and meet fire
insurance standards.
2. Actions Accomplished
The contractors constructed and installed the following water
system components;
- 4098' of 6" PVC pipe, 149' of 4" PVC pipe, and 189' of 2" PVC
pipe;
- seven 6" gate valves, six 4" gate valves, and five 2" gate
valves, all with boxes;
- four fire hydrants with valves;
- 36 service connections;
- 542' of 3/4" service tubing;
- connection of nine, 4" mains, and seven 2" mains;
- one 6" x 4" and six 6" x 2" tee fittings;
- one 6" x 4" and two 4" x 2" reducers;
- four 6" plugs;
- nine 4" and seven 2" Smith Blair couplings;
- 100 residential service meter pit assemblies;
- 83 installed meter pits;
- 1 gas-fired standby electric generator;

Wattenberg Improvement Association as of 9/28/84.

$131 ,467.60. ($1 ,467.60 was moved from administration to
construction with the approval of DOLA staffer Don Sandoval . )
5. Summary of Benefits for Low/Moderate Income Households and
Minorities
A total of 100% of the grant funds or $154,200 benefited the low
and moderate income and minority residents because without the
expenditure of the grant no one would have benefited at all .
The project benefited approximately 338 people or 100% of the
residents in Wattenberg of whom 256 are estimated to be of low
or moderate income. The project also benefited the estimated
330 Wattenberg residents of Hispanic origin.
II. Citizen Comments
There were no written citizen comments received by Weld County or the
LWRCOG from the date of the grant award to the present. Oral comments
were received at public hearings held in Wattenberg.
III. Certifications
As chief elected official of the grantee jurisdiction, I certify that:
a. the information contained in this report is accurate to the best of
my knowledge,

Dear Commissioner Carlson:
I am writing in response to a letter requesting a budgetary modification
of the Wattenberg Community Development Block Grant contract from Sally
Janett, Program Administrator, Larimer-Weld Regional Council of
Governments.
The request is to transfer funds from the administrative line item to the
construction line item as follows:
Existing Budget This Request
Expenditure Expenditure
Construction $130,200.00 Construction $131 ,467.60
Administration 24,000.00 Administration 22,732.40
Total $164,200.00 $154,200.00
The amount of the transfer is less than 10% and therefore this letter
will serve as the approval of such transfer.
If you have any questions concerning this or any other matter of the
Wattenberg project please feel free to contact me at 532-4501 .
Sincerely,
Donald E. Sandoval

SUBJECT: Wattenberg Community Development Block Gra t
DATE: September 27, 1984
Over the last year and a half, the Larimer-Weld Regional Council of
Governments has administered a CDBG grant for Weld County on behalf of
the community of Wattenberg. The project was for improvements to the
Town's domestic water system.
As of September 21st, the project has been completed and to close-out the
grant, it is necessary for Weld County to certify that all work is done.
Attached is a project completion report with the necessary certification
at the end.
Upon signature by the County, the report will be submitted to the
Colorado Department of Local Affairs. Once the State approves the
Completion Report, they will release the $7,700 of grant money they have
retained and the COG will complete reimbursements to the Project engineer
and contractors.
