PASS -AROUND REVIEW/ WORK SESSION REQUEST
RE: CDBG-DR Release of Funds and Certification.
DEPARTMENT: OEM DATE: 11.16.17
PERSON REQUESTING: Roy Rudisill
Brief description of the problem/issue:
As a part of our 2013 Flood Recovery, the CDBG-DR grant for the CR 53 bridge project has a requirement to
sign the attached document.
The environmental release of funds must be signed by the sub -grantee. Grantees are prohibited from obligating
or expending CDBG funds for activities until they have completed an environmental review to determine
whether the project might significantly affect the quality of the environment. When the grantee (in this case,
Weld County) has completed all of their environmental responsibilities for the project for which it wishes to
expend funds they must submit an environmental release of funds on which the sub -grantee has to sign off.
The funding to be released is 333,085.00 See the attached form
What options exist for the Board? (Include consequences, impacts, costs, etc. of options)
Sign the release of funds to move forward with the project.
Recommendation:
Add to the BOCC agenda and sign release of funds.
Approve

During the September 2013 floods, extreme rain amounts caused significant damage to Federal Highway Administration

roadway shoulder. This project would include the work items necessary to complete the design and construction of Weld
County Road (WCR) 53 from just north of WCR 58A to just north of WCR 388. This work would include roadway design along a
new alignment, intersection improvements to WCR 388, a new bridge over the South Platte River and new access
intersections, as well as the construction of said improvements. The proposed project would use Community Development
Block Grant -Disaster Recovery (CDBG-DR) funds as a Local Match of FHWA funding.
The estimated amount of HUD funding is $333,085.
