2024 FEMA Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities Grant Application Development

The City of Greenville, North Carolina is seeking qualifications from consulting firms to support the development of grant applications under the Federal Emergency Management Agency's (FEMA) Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities (BRIC) Program. The selected firm will be responsible for preparing FEMA mitigation grant applications and providing project management services for two specific projects: the Trafalgar Driver Culvert Improvements project and a scoping project for repairs to the Lake Ellsworth Dam. The scope of work includes preparing and submitting the grant applications by the February 7, 2025 deadline. Interested firms must submit their qualifications by the October 11, 2024 deadline, and the anticipated contract award date is October 25, 2024. Evaluation criteria include the firm's relevant experience, technical approach, project management capabilities, and qualifications of the key personnel.

The City has established Minority and Women Business Enterprise (MWBE) participation goals of 4% each for this project. The contract is funded through federal grant funds, so the selected firm will be required to comply with various federal contracting requirements, such as provisions related to equal opportunity, procurement of recovered materials, suspension and debarment, Davis-Bacon wage requirements, and the E-Verify program. The City has not provided any information about incumbent vendors or current contractors, and the contract value or budget range has not been specified.
