The SS4A program provides 8 0% of the funding needed to implement corrective actions with the local 
government required to provide 20% of the funding.  The engineer’s opinion of the probable cost to 
implement these improvements is $3,730,000, 20% of which would come from local funds. 
 
Grant applications are due on or before June 26, 2025.  There is no available guidance as to when 
announcements will be made for this grant, but if announcements are made using the same timeframe 
as prior years an announcement would be expected between September and November of this year.    
Based upon the official Notice of Funding Opportunity, recipients will be issued a grant contract within 12 
months of the announcement of the award.  The performance period for implementation (construction) 
grants is up to five years.  It is unclear whether the five years includes the one year for contract issuance 
or is in addition to the contract period.  It is also unclear as to whether the implementation period is five 
years for all projects or whether it is based upon the scope of individual projects.  Based upon the limited 
amount of information currently available, I estimate that it will take three to four years from the time of 
the award to complete the project.
