Construction Management Assistance

The Environmental Protection Agency Office for Water funded 14 Construction Management Assistance grants (CFDA 66.438) between 2001 and 2005, with the most recent award issued on March 30, 2005—over twenty years ago. This program is inactive; no grant opportunities are currently open, and no awards have been disbursed since 2005.

The program funded state and local water infrastructure management and construction oversight activities, including state management assistance, leaking underground storage tank program management, and construction management for water projects under Section 205(g) authorities. Recent awards show that recipients included state environmental and water quality agencies managing construction programs and compliance activities.

The assistance-type mix is predominantly Project Grants (93 percent, 13 awards) with a single Formula Grant (7 percent). The Environmental Protection Agency Office for Water provided all 14 awards, totaling $1.5 million in combined federal dollars obligated. Award timing shows activity concentrated in 2001 through 2003, with three and five awards respectively in those years, declining to two in 2004 and one in 2005.

Representative recent awards include a Project Grant for $363,893 obligated on September 29, 2003 for Construction Management Assistance Program support; a Project Grant for $400 thousand obligated on March 5, 2002 for State Management Assistance under Section 205(g); and a Formula Grant for $642,915 obligated on September 26, 2001 for Construction Management Assistance Program activities. Typical award magnitudes ranged from approximately $144 thousand to $930 thousand, though several awards recorded negative adjustments or reversals in the final two years of activity.

Do not pursue this program; it has been dormant for over two decades with no recent grant opportunities posted.
