PROJECT REQUIREMENTS

The following requirements apply if you are planning on proposing a project to the Commission.

A formal presentation to the Commission including:

• An identified Project Manager
• Project Narrative
• Project Budget
• Timeline for Completion
• An electronic version of the presentation should be submitted to the Commission at least one week in advance of formal presentation
• A Commitment to completing the project in a timely manner and the maintenance of all documents & the securing of all appropriate permits
• Periodic Status Reports to the Commission

After the presentation, the SEWFRC further determines project eligibility by grading the acceptance criteria. To do this the Commission uses the Project Evaluation Form. Although exceptions do apply, this typically takes place at the following monthly meeting along with a project acceptance determination.

Public bidding requirements apply to units of government conducting projects in cooperation with the SEWFRC.

If you are interested in the Commission or presenting a project proposal, please contact Katelyn Bratz, SEWFRC Chair at: info@sewfrc.org.
