Town Of Colfax

Town Of Colfax is a municipal government entity in Colfax, Indiana that acts as a recipient of federal grants for water and wastewater infrastructure improvements, not as a federal contractor or supplier. The Town operates exclusively as a prime recipient under federal grant programs and has no federal contracting vehicle participation or prime contract awards.

The Town's federal footprint is narrow and specialized. It receives funding from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Rural Utilities Service (RUS) under the Water and Waste Disposal Systems for Rural Communities program (CFDA 10.760) to support wastewater treatment and sewage infrastructure projects serving the rural community. The Town received a $1.089 million Project Grant from RUS awarded April 24, 2026, with completion targeted for April 24, 2028, to fund waste disposal and sewage treatment infrastructure improvements. This award builds on prior RUS support, including an $85,500 grant for a comprehensive three-utility master plan addressing water, wastewater, and stormwater management. The RUS program focuses on ensuring reasonable user costs for rural residents while improving service quality and reliability through design, construction, repair, and enhancement of wastewater treatment facilities.

Activity is minimal and episodic. The source covers four total federal awards across two years (three sub-grant awards in February 2024 and one prime grant in April 2026), with combined dollars obligated of $1.7 million. The Town serves a single customer agency—USDA RUS—and has no multi-agency exposure. One award carries an ultimate completion date within the next twenty-four months. As a municipal government entity rather than a federal contractor or vendor, Town Of Colfax does not compete for federal contracts, maintain parent vehicle memberships, or engage in teaming relationships with federal contractors. It functions solely as a grant recipient for rural water and wastewater infrastructure programs.
