The Town of Thomaston, located in Middlesex County, Connecticut, is seeking proposals for Administrative & Technical Services for the 2025 Small Cities Grant program through a Request for Proposal (RFP) with solicitation number 27941. The procurement is targeting qualified firms or individuals to prepare a 2025 Small Cities Community Development Program Application and provide comprehensive administrative and technical support for implementing grant activities. Key deliverables include preparing the grant application, managing program income during the contract period, and providing selection support for additional federal and state funding programs such as STEAP, Section 108, and USDA.

The solicitation period opens on February 7, 2025, at 7:00 AM EST and closes on February 28, 2025, at 10:00 AM EST, with Deborah Bournival serving as the primary contact at 158 Main St, Thomaston, CT 06787. While specific evaluation criteria are not explicitly detailed in the provided documents, the RFP suggests that qualifications, technical expertise, and ability to manage complex grant administration will likely be key assessment factors.

The RFP does not specify explicit set-aside designations or restrictions on respondent types, indicating the solicitation is open to all qualified vendors. No information is provided about incumbent vendors or existing technological infrastructure that might require integration. Similarly, the documents do not outline a specific budget range or total award value for the contract. The procurement uses Free On Board Destination delivery terms with vendor-specified payment terms, suggesting flexibility in financial arrangements. While the solicitation appears broadly accessible, potential respondents should carefully review the full RFP documentation to understand the complete scope of requirements and qualifications needed to successfully compete for the administrative and technical services contract. The lack of detailed financial information suggests that interested firms should be prepared to provide comprehensive cost proposals that align with the scope of work outlined in the solicitation.
