Escambia_County_Federal_Funded_Community_Development_Block_Grant_Disaster_Recovery_Delegation_of_Authority_Executed.pdf

This is a Delegation of Authority document executed by Escambia County, Florida, establishing the county's authority to manage and oversee Community Development Block Grant-Disaster Recovery (CDBG-DR) funds. The document delegates responsibility to the county for administering federal funds received for disaster recovery purposes, authorizing the county to proceed with procurement and project implementation activities related to stormwater mitigation initiatives. The delegation encompasses four separate stormwater projects—Brickyard Road Stormwater, Monroe Avenue Stormwater Repair, Olive Road Stormwater Upgrade, and Oakfield Palafox Stormwater Improvements—consolidated under a single CDBG-DR grant umbrella.

The county is seeking qualified and experienced consulting firms to provide CDBG-DR grant compliance and monitoring services, including HUD Section 3 compliance and Davis-Bacon wage reporting requirements for the stormwater construction projects. The delegation of authority establishes the framework through which Escambia County will manage federal funding, ensure regulatory compliance with HUD requirements, and oversee project delivery across the four identified stormwater mitigation sites. This delegation document serves as the foundational authorization enabling the county to solicit professional services for grant administration, compliance monitoring, and federal reporting obligations required throughout the project lifecycle.
