2024 CDBG-NR Administrative Services

The Town of Tabor City has initiated a procurement process for grant administration services related to their 2024 Community Development Block Grant-Neighborhood Revitalization (CDBG-NR) project. The procurement seeks a qualified administrative services provider to assist with managing a $950,000 grant from the North Carolina Department of Commerce. The project scope includes rehabilitation/reconstruction of two housing units and public facilities improvements, specifically the installation of curb and gutter along Jones Street. The town is soliciting proposals from qualified administrators who can ensure compliance with all applicable CDBG-NR program requirements throughout the 36-month project timeline. The request for proposals (RFP) was posted on February 24, 2025, with responses due by March 6, 2025. While specific evaluation criteria are not detailed in the provided information, potential respondents should demonstrate expertise in CDBG-NR program administration, understanding of federal and state grant requirements, and capacity to manage complex community development projects.

The procurement appears to be open to a broad range of administrative services providers, with no specific set-aside designations mentioned in the available documentation. The grant administration services will be entirely funded through CDBG-NR funds, with the total project budget established at $950,000. The project jurisdictions include Clay County and involve work within Tabor City, suggesting potential preference for local or regional providers with familiarity with the area's community development needs. While no incumbent vendors are identified, the comprehensive nature of the project suggests that respondents should have demonstrated experience in managing similar neighborhood revitalization grants, particularly those involving housing rehabilitation and public infrastructure improvements. The 36-month project timeline indicates a substantial commitment is expected from the selected administrator, who will be responsible for comprehensive grant management, compliance reporting, and coordination between the town, housing recipients, and state oversight agencies.
