Reno County, Kansas:
ARPA Grant Program Administration
To manage $12 million in ARPA funds from the U.S. Treasury, Reno County partnered with iParametrics for full-spectrum compliance, tracking, and expenditure oversight. The County needed expert guidance to align projects with evolving federal guidelines while maximizing community impact.
Situation
Reno County faced complex compliance requirements and strict federal deadlines. With limited internal resources to manage reporting and procurement reviews, the County sought specialized consulting support to reduce risk and optimize use of recovery funds.
Task
iParametrics was contracted to deliver project management services for ARPA, including expenditure categorization, documentation review, reimbursement guidance, and implementation of a tailored compliance tracking solution.
Action
We conducted in-depth reviews of contracts and financial records, applied strategic expenditure frameworks (e.g., Revenue Loss Replacement Allowance), and developed tracking tools to ensure all funds met ARPA requirements. Collaboration with County and City of Hutchinson staff improved efficiency and consistency.
Result
The County maintained ARPA compliance, enhanced operational workflows, and maximized eligible fund usage. Financial processes were streamlined, reducing risks of audit findings and reinforcing the County’s ability to manage future federal investments.
