GRANT ADMINISTRATION Scoring Sheet.pdf

This is a Grant Administration Ratings Criterion scoring sheet for evaluating consultants responding to the City of Alma, Georgia's request for CDBG Grant Writing and Administration services. The scoring sheet establishes evaluation criteria across six key dimensions: consultant knowledge of CDBG guidelines and regulations (scored 0-2 based on years of experience with federal programs), organizational capacity to complete the scope of work (0-2 scale), past performance verified through reference checks (0-2 based on quantity and quality of references), experience administering similar project types (0-2 based on number of successfully completed projects), current workload capacity (0-2 scale), and consultant fees relative to service value (0-2 scale). Each criterion allows evaluators to assign a score from 0 to 2, with narrative descriptors guiding the assessment. The sheet includes fields for recording contact information, firm name and address, evaluator name, and date of review.
