Section 369-5.2 - Application procedures

(a) Upon availability of funding, the department will issue a notice of availability with the individual program requirements for a state assistance program pursuant to this Subpart. The details of each program and an application filing deadline will be included in the notice of availability.

(b) Any municipality, upon the approval of its governing body, may submit to the department an application, in a form and containing information as the department may require, for state assistance toward the cost of an eligible project. The procedures outlined in this section are only applicable to funding provided pursuant to this Subpart.

(1) Each application will undergo an initial review by the department to determine potential project eligibility and compliance with terms set forth in the notice of availability. This initial review is not intended to be a detailed project review to determine full or final eligibility of the project or project costs but instead to eliminate clearly ineligible projects from further consideration. The initial review may include meetings and presentations of project aspects in order for the department to gain an understanding of the project and consequently expedite review.

(2) The department may require any additional information from an applicant as may be necessary to complete a project application. A project application will be reviewed and may be approved, disapproved or modified by the department, consistent with the requirements of this Part.

(3) The department will evaluate, rate, rank or score eligible applications received in accordance with the procedures identified in the notice of availability to determine which, if any, of the projects will be funded through the state assistance program.

(c) Upon availability of funding, the department will contact the selected applicant(s) to notify them of their selection and offer to enter into a state assistance contract for the project.

(d) Applications must consist of the application components in 369-2.3, 369-3.3 or 369-4.3, as applicable to the type of project, in accordance with the criteria specified in the notice of availability.

(e) Any project funded pursuant to this subpart that previously existed on a waiting list for funding will be removed from that waiting list and is ineligible for duplicate funding under this state assistance program.
