CDBG Grant Administration Services

The City of Edgerton, Wisconsin is seeking grant administration services for a Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program focused on the Rollin Street reconstruction project. This Request for Proposals (RFP) solicits qualified consultants to provide comprehensive administrative services for two CDBG grants totaling $1,029,020. Interested firms must submit detailed proposals including a company history, qualifications summary, specific experience with CDBG grant implementation, at least three professional references, and key personnel resumes. The evaluation criteria will assess firms based on general experience (15%), grant implementation experience (20%), local knowledge (5%), project performance capacity (20%), and proposed fee structure (40%). Proposals must be submitted by 3:00 p.m. on Wednesday, October 9, 2019, either via hard copy in two sealed envelopes labeled "CDBG Grant Administration Services" or by email to jsalvo@cityofedgerton.com. The scope of work includes data collection, compliance reporting for Equal Opportunity and Fair Housing, labor standards enforcement, semi-annual reporting, and conducting a citizen participation public hearing.

The RFP does not explicitly specify set-aside designations for disadvantaged business enterprises, though CDBG regulations typically encourage minority and women-owned business participation. The city reserves the right to reject any or all proposals and select consultants based solely on written submissions. No incumbent vendors are mentioned in the documentation. The administrative services will require comprehensive reporting and compliance work across multiple regulatory areas, including Section 3 provisions, MBE/WBE reporting, and project completion documentation. While the total grant amount is $1,029,020, the specific budget allocation for administrative services is not explicitly stated. The procurement will follow standard CDBG regulatory requirements, with the City of Edgerton Finance Committee conducting the proposal review and selection process. Potential respondents are encouraged to contact Ramona Flanigan, City Administrator, at (608) 884-3341 for additional information or clarification about the grant administration services opportunity.
