CDBG MAP Training RFP Legal Notice 8.21.2026.pdf

This is a legal notice for a Request for Proposals (RFP) issued by the City of Geneva, New York, soliciting training and program delivery services for the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Microenterprise Assistance Program (MAP) grant. The City seeks qualified vendors to provide comprehensive training services to support the implementation of a $180,000 CDBG MAP grant, with $150,000 allocated specifically for microenterprise assistance. The training program is designed to help the City support economic development projects that create permanent jobs for persons from low- and moderate-income families and benefit low/moderate-income microenterprise business owners. The RFP legal notice was published on August 21, 2026, and establishes the framework for soliciting proposals from qualified service providers capable of delivering program services in compliance with all applicable CDBG MAP requirements set forth by the Office of Community Renewal (OCR).

Training services will be funded entirely through program delivery grant funds allocated from the CDBG MAP award. The City strongly encourages participation from Minority/Women Business Enterprises (M/WBE), Disadvantaged Business Enterprises (DBE), and Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Businesses (SDVOB). No incumbent vendor exists for this procurement, as no business enterprise has held an identical or substantially similar contract within the past five years. All selected service providers must demonstrate the capacity to comply with federal CDBG program requirements and assist the City in meeting all grant-related obligations and performance metrics associated with the MAP program.
