The "SRF Letter of Concurrence of Award" has been updated with the intent to provide our customers with a clear understanding of the purpose of the letter and to better communicate the next steps in the State Revolving Fund (SRF) funding process. One significant change is the terminology being used in the letter. Since SRF is not actually concurring with an applicant's specific contract award, this language has been eliminated and the letter focuses on identifying the SRF eligible costs within the awarded bid.
The revised form will be referred to as the "SRF Notice of Funding Eligibility" and implementation of the form began on September 15, 2020.
Questions regarding this letter may be directed to Amy Seyffer at amy.seyffer@dnr.iowa.gov or 515-725-8202.
