Change Order No. 1 to Grant Agreement WT026 shifting the funding from State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds (SLFRF) to State Funding was approved by BOCC on August 27, 2024, (LS14371).
Amendment 1 was originally submitted to BOCC and approved on November 19, 2024, (LS14811); however, an adjustment is needed to increase the preconstruction activities task grant amount from $70,464.00 to $84,127.23 and reduce the project management activities grant amount from $29,536.00 to $15,872.77.
