WIIN- Water Infrastructure Improvements

The New York State Department of Health intends to amend contract C41068GM with the Town of Bethany to add additional federal funding which was received and to extend the contract term through 9/30/2028. Section 1459A of the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA), as amended by the 2016 Water Infrastructure Improvements for the Nation Act and the 2018 America’s Water Infrastructure Act, authorized the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) to award grants to states to assist underserved, small and disadvantaged communities that are unable to finance activities needed to comply with the SDWA. New York State’s allocation of this grant award for Federal Fiscal Year 2025 was $1,410,000. The Town of Bethany was approved by the USEPA to receive this federal funding. Funding will be used to cover a portion of the Town of Bethany's Water Infrastructure Improvement Project. Due to the specific circumstances of this procurement and the unique qualifications of the selected firm/entity, a competitive procurement was not feasible in this instance.
