Firms must submit comprehensive information including firm history and resources, CDBG/EIP/RDF experience with other DCA grant programs, key personnel qualifications, current workload capacity, scope and level of services proposed, experience with similar projects and references, and the completed Statement of Qualifications Form.

Responding firms must provide pricing information including fees and percentages associated with the PER for the application and Design and Construction Management Services if the project is funded.
