Award Information

This Award Information file pertains to a cancelled Request for Proposals issued by the Douglas County Board of Commissioners in Georgia for grant administration services related to a Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) project. The original RFP, posted February 16, 2022, as Bid No. 22-002, solicited statements of qualifications and proposals from qualified consulting firms to provide comprehensive grant administration services for a FY2021 CDBG project. The scope of work included grant application preparation, Environmental Review Record preparation, draw and disbursement request processing, financial administration and record-keeping support, public hearing coordination, property acquisition assistance under the Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Act, bid document preparation and administration, Davis-Bacon wage compliance review and payroll monitoring, Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing requirement assistance, and close-out documentation. The underlying project involved improvements to Douglas County's senior services building, including mechanical, electrical, and plumbing upgrades to meet current building codes, ADA accessibility improvements, commercial kitchen restructuring, and expansion of congregate areas for dining, exercise, arts and crafts, and library services. The County cancelled this solicitation effective March 4, 2022, due to administrative errors.

The Douglas County Board of Commissioners indicated that a new solicitation for these grant administration services may be conducted in the future, with all suppliers required to respond to revised bid forms and requirements for consideration under any future posting. Materials submitted under the cancelled solicitation remain confidential pending any rebid. Interested parties were directed to monitor the Celebrate Douglas County website and the Georgia Procurement Registry for future announcements. The file also references a separate solicitation by the City of Commerce for qualified professional engineering firms to provide design, site selection, construction, and administration services for various engineering projects; however, specific details regarding that opportunity are not provided in this Award Information document.
