The City has acquired a grant under the Resilient Investments through Support and Capital (RISC) program from the Housing Trust Fund Corporation, represented by the New York State (NYS) Homes and Community Renewal (HCR) Office of Resilient Homes and Communities (ORHC), that is funded by a United States Department of Housing and Urban Development Community (HUD) Development Block Grant Disaster Recovery (CDBG-DR) allocation to NYS to support long-term recovery efforts in response to Hurricane Ida (FEMA DR-4615). The work undertaken will be in accordance with the standard requirements and conditions described in Exhibit A: IDA Subrecipient Agreement (SRA) to this RFP that are applicable to contractors and subcontractors. This includes but is not limited to Sections "10(B) Subcontracting" and the MBE, WBE, SDVOB and other participation goals and reporting requirements outlined in Appendix 1 to the SRA.

Reservoir 1 is a spillway from the City's water plant that travels into and through the surrounding residential neighborhood located in the City of Port Jervis in Orange County, NY. It is located at the base of the mountains surrounding Port Jervis where water runoff joins reservoir runoff and often causes flooding in local streets, homes, and businesses. Due to eroding, the reservoir spillway is also collapsing into itself thereby reducing water flow and threatening extreme overflow in heavy rains. In addition, a 24" watermain runs along and under the spillway and feeds water to the entire city. The City fears that reoccurring flooding will cause the failure of the spillway and the water main which will lead to flooding the neighborhood and when out of service will stop water service to the entire city of approximately 8,500 residents. The Reservoir 1 Spillway Rehab and Water Main Resiliency Planning Project will complete a comprehensive drainage analysis of the project area and develop a conceptual design that addresses the flooding and protection of the watermain. The study will explore if rebuilding the spillway and replacing the critical 24" water main may provide flood relief. In addition, a cost benefit analysis will need to be completed for use in applications to capital funding sources for construction implementation along with grant application submission support.
