Overview
If an Applicant wishes to use SRF funds to purchase equipment directly (outside of a construction contract), then these costs may be eligible for SRF funding. To determine this, their consulting engineer or authorized representative must prepare and submit the required documentation to the State Revolving Fund (SRF).
Important Note
After reviewing the submitted documents, the DNR SRF will issue a Notice of Funding Eligibility (NOFE) to the Applicant, detailing the amount eligible for SRF funding. This letter will guide the Iowa Finance Authority (IFA SRF) in allocating funding to the loan.
