Proposal to Provide Water, Sewer, and Public Works Grant Writing Services <br />8 <br /> <br /> ESS was aware of the additional grant funding available to the SWRCB and as such <br />aligned the submittal of its applications such that they were well ahead of the <br />competition and received the due attention. <br /> When applying for stormwater grants for Coachella Valley Water District, ESS <br />arranged a conference call with EPA staff to discuss the two top-priority projects for <br />the District and receive key input from grant funding project managers. <br /> <br />We will then use our extensive experience to match the City’s projects with the available funding <br />options and develop a matrix of all potential funding alternatives specifically to match the <br />City’s projects that will serve as a tool for the project team and the City staff to use. <br />As an example, our team members have been providing the available grants services for water <br />and sewer projects to WaterReuse members on regular basis and will continue to provide this <br />information for this contract as well.
