The Alaska Energy Authority is distributing $5,180,490 of American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) funding to up to 142 eligible Alaska cities and boroughs (hereinafter called "Cities") in the first half of 2010.  Projects must be complete by August 2012.  This funding supports energy efficiency and conservation improvements to public buildings and public facilities.  There is no matching fund requirement.  City allocations range from $10,600 to $227,800 based upon population.  To assist small Cities, Alaska Energy Authority is providing an “opt-in technical assistance” option, which will provide Cities technical assistance with energy audits, retrofits, reporting and other aspects of the projects.  Reporting requirements include financial reports, narrative reports, jobs created or retained, energy saved and other measures.  All ARRA requirements are in effect, including Buy American, Davis-Bacon Wages, National Environmental Policy Act, Whistleblower protections, historic preservation and others outlined in the provisions.
