The FMPRA Grant Program commenced its <br />application period in September 2021 and closed on February 9. 2022. The Department of <br />Water Resources (DWR) received 63 concept proposals and 35 full proposals from <br />interested communities in response to the project solicitation. DWR completed the review <br />and ranking of the applications and approved funding for five Planning & Monitoring and 13 <br />Implementation projects. <br /> <br />DWR is pleased to inform City of Santa Ana that the Rousselle Street Flood Protection <br />Project has been approved for State funding, conditional upon agreement with DWR on the <br />scope of work, budget, and schedule. DWR will coordinate with the City of Santa Ana to <br />enter into a funding agreement (see attached) to receive State funding for eligible project <br />costs up to a maximum of $4,675,000. Please note that costs incurred following the notice <br />of award, September 26, 2022, are eligible for reimbursement. However, reimbursement of <br />any costs cannot occur until a funding agreement is executed with the State. Failure to <br />execute an agreement with the State does not entitle the funding recipient to any <br />reimbursement pursuant to this award. <br /> <br />For DWR to begin this process, please confirm the above addressee and address for this <br />project. Within 90 days, the City of Santa Ana shall provide a written response to DWR <br />acknowledging the following: <br /> Financial capacity to complete the project and has not been subject to any financial <br />issues found in audits. <br /> Acceptance of the State funding, therefore DWR may encumber the funds. <br /> <br />In addition, DWR uses DocuSign to process signatures electronically to expedite <br />Agreements, Amendments, Invoices, and various other documents requiring a signature. <br />For DWR to send documents to you via DocuSign, we need your permission and consent. <br />If the City of Santa Ana is not comfortable with using electronic signatures, we can send <br />documents for original (wet) signatures via email or mail.
