TO: Honorable Town Board FROM: Jason Foote, Town Engineer DATE: May 11, 2026 SUBJECT: Town Engineer re 2026 Engineering Planning Grant Local Share Resolution Requested Action: The Town of West Seneca is intending to apply for a 2026 Engineering Planning Grant (EPG) in June 2026 to help fund the Sanitary Sewer Evaluation Study (SSES) Report for the Phase 10 project. The SSES report involves performing an evaluation of the existing sanitary sewer mains and manholes within the Phase 10 area (FM-16) and making recommendations for repair. The SSES report is required to be completed and submitted per the NYS DEC’s Consent Order. The maximum grant amount is $50,000. We estimate the total project cost to be $113,300 (see attached budget sheet), which includes $50,000 for the sewer and manhole evaluations and the preparation of the SSES report and $63,300 for technical force account for the sewer televising. As part of the grant requirements, the Town is responsible for a minimum 20% local share contribution toward the project. In order to fulfill the local share requirement, the Town Sewer Department will be completing the televising of the sanitary sewer mains as in-kind services. Therefore, we are requesting the Town pass the following suggested resolution at the May 11, 2026, Town Board Meeting. RESOLUTION: WHEREAS, the Town of West Seneca is planning to submit an application to the New York State Environmental Facilities Corporation (NYS EFC) for a 2026 Engineering Planning Grant (EPG) to complete Phase 10 of the Town’s sanitary sewer system evaluation program, including televising of sanitary sewer mains, evaluation of sanitary sewer manholes, and development of recommendations to reduce inflow and infiltration and improve overall system performance; and WHEREAS, the proposed Phase 10 study area consists of approximately 90,000 linear feet of sanitary sewer within the FM16 area of the Town’s sanitary sewer system; and WHEREAS, the total estimated cost of the Phase 10 engineering planning study is $113,300; and Page 101 of 280
