Grant Description

RECOVERY – Restore Elwha River Ecosystems and Fisheries Program –Build Wastewater Collection and Transport System -OLYM 005375 TAS 14-1041 NAICS 237110 This project will be funded by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA) and is subject to the reporting requirements of the Act. This announcement is for informational purposes only. A task agreement will be issued under an existing Cooperative Agreement with the City of Port Angeles, Washington. This portion of the larger wastewater collection transport system construction project will be awarded on a sole-source basis to the City of Port Angeles to design and construct a new storm drainage facility within the City. The Lower Elwha Klallam Tribe’s wastewater system will be connected to the City’s wastewater system in lieu of the National Park Service constructing a separate wastewater storage facility. The National Park Service and the City agree with the recommendation of a Brown and Caldwell Report dated January 5, 2010, that a dedicated storm drainage facility in First Street, from Valley Street to Lincoln Street, is an acceptable and preferred alternative to the wastewater storage requirement. The National Park Service has concluded that there will be a significant savings to the taxpayers by the elimination of the tribal wastewater storage requirement set forth in the City-Tribe Wastewater Agreement and, in lieu thereof, assisting the City in the construction of a dedicated storm drainage facility as recommended in the above report. The City, the Lower Elwha Klallam Tribe, and the National Park Service all support this approach as it will eliminate the need for a more expensive facility and substitute in its place a less expensive measure.
