APPLICANT’S REQUEST:

On June 7, 2022, the Drinking Water Board authorized an American Rescue Plan Act
(ARPA) Grant of $3,444,000 to Clark Bench Water Company for a number of
improvements to the water system. Also, on June 7, 2022, the Drinking Water Board
authorized an ARPA Grant of $3,359,000 to New Paria Water Company for constructing
a new well, 80,000-gallon storage tank, replace water lines, and upgrade meters.

Since their authorizations, both the Clark Bench and New Paria water systems have been
regionalized and are now managed by Kane County Water Conservancy District
(KCWCD).

Bids for Clark Bench’s project came back under estimate leaving the project’s budget
with a $612,648 surplus. While New Paria’s bids came back over budget by $441,634. To
cover New Paria’s deficit, KCWCD is requesting that $527,141 from Clark Bench’s
project be reallocated to New Paria’s project . The remaining contingency for each project
would be $85,507.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION:

The Drinking Water Board authorize the reallocation of $527,141 from the Clark
Bench Water Company ARPA project to the New Paria Water Company’s ARPA
project.
