Proposals must be submitted by mail or hand delivery to the Town Clerk's office by 11:00 AM on January 6, 2026, in a sealed envelope marked "Proposal for CDBG Administration Services". The evaluation process will assess proposals based on three key criteria: Qualifications (40 points), Experience (40 points), and Capacity for Performance (20 points).

The selection committee may retain proposals for up to thirty days for review and investigation.

The Town of Beaumont is an Equal Opportunity Employer with a strong emphasis on promoting diversity in contractor selection. The procurement specifically encourages participation from Minority-owned Business Enterprises (MBEs), Woman-owned Business Enterprises (WBEs), and Section 3 eligible businesses. While the exact contract value is not predetermined, the award will be made on a lump sum basis following established CDBG Program fee scales, with individual contracts to be executed for each application prepared and each awarded project administered. The Town reserves the right to reject any or all proposals and maintains the authority to terminate the selection process at any time. All proposed activities must strictly adhere to federal and state laws, regulations, and procedures governing the CDBG Program. Potential contractors should be prepared for a comprehensive review process that examines not only their technical capabilities but also their commitment to inclusive and compliant project management.
