SUBJECT: Recommended Project Funding
DATE: May 9, 2022
On October 13, 2021, the Board of Commissioners adopted Miscellaneous Resolution #21382 to
appropriate $2.4 million of American Rescue Plan Act Local Fiscal Recovery Fund dollars toward the
Local Government Critical Infrastructure Planning Grant. On December 8, 2021, the Local
Government Critical Infrastructure Grant Oversite Committee allocated $500,000 to Royal Oak
Township. The remaining $1.9 million were to be allocated based on the five desired outcomes:
1. Protect Public Health
2. Preserve Natural Resources and a Healthy Environment
3. Maintain Reliable, High -Quality Service
4. Assure Value for Investment
5. Contribute to Economic Prosperity
Grant applications were accepted through March 31, 2022. Thirty-eight applications were received
requesting more than $3.3 million in grant funding. The applications were reviewed and ranked in
accordance with the established scoring criteria.
It is important to note that all of the projects have some impact to the community's' improvement in at
least three of the desired outcome areas. Therefore, all the projects submitted would provide value to
the local community and to Oakland County.
Within the approved $1.9 million allocated to'the grant, there were 21 grant applications that rank
highest based on the desired outcomes scoring matrix for a total grant award of $1,925,723.
(Attachment A).
There are 17 applications that do not fall in the fundable range for an additional grant request of
$1.46M (Attachment B). While all projects submitted provide value to Oakland County and the local
community, there are six more projects that ranked very close to those that fell into the range of
funding availability. (Attachment C). Some of these projects have been needed for many years but
the communities have been unable to secure funding. These six projects have a total grant request
of $556,000 and are put forth for the committee's consideration.

FROM: Carrie Cox, P.E., Chief Engineer

SUBJECT: Funding for Additional Critical Infrastructure Planning Grant Program Project
Applications
X• r
A review of applications for the Critical Infrastructure Planning Grant Program resulted in 36 qualified
projects. After ranking the applications in accordance with established scoring criteria, 21 projects
were selected for the $1.91VI in available funding allocated for this program.
It is important to recognize that the remaining 15 qualified project applications provide value to the
local community and to Oakland County. For these projects to be included in the program,
$1,366,053 in additional funding would be needed. (Please see Attachment A.)
Of the 38 applications received, two applications were discarded because the program limits only one
application per community.
With the importance of planning for improvements to critical infrastructure in Oakland County, it is our
recommendation that funding for this program be expanded to include grants to each of the
communities that applied for this program.
Recommended Action: Award grant funding for 15 additional projects that meet the scoring
criteria for the Critical Infrastructure Planning Grant Program in the amount of $1,366,053 as
listed on Attachment A.

#21-382 assigning $2,400,000 in ARPA LFRF funding for a grant program to provide Oakland County
local governments with financial assistance for costs associated with the planning and design of critical
ARPA eligible sewer and water infrastructure projects and a grant administration plan.
