Cdbg i planning grant

The Town of Mount Olive has issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) for Grant Administrative Services associated with two North Carolina Community Development Block Grant - Infrastructure (NC CDBG-I) awards. The primary project involves the rehabilitation and replacement of approximately 14,400 linear feet of existing 8" sewer lines, with funding totaling $65,000 and $2,892,000.00 from the State Water Infrastructure Authority (SWIA) through the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality. The grant administrative services will require comprehensive management to ensure full compliance with all applicable federal requirements and regulations under the CDBG-I program. Proposals are due by July 15, 2025, at 3:00 P.M., with a three-year timeframe for completing the grant administrative services. The successful contractor will be responsible for managing all administrative aspects of the grant, including documentation, reporting, and regulatory compliance. Interested parties can obtain detailed proposal information by contacting Interim Town Manager Glenn Holland or Town Clerk Sherry Davis, with proposal documents available in English, Spanish, and Haitian Creole.

The RFP explicitly encourages submissions from small, minority-owned, women-owned, veteran-owned, historically underutilized, and Section 3 certified businesses, demonstrating a commitment to diverse vendor participation. The Town of Mount Olive is an Equal Opportunity Employer that emphasizes language accessibility and accommodation for proposal submissions. The administrative services fee will be paid using the CDBG-I funds, effectively integrating the administrative contract into the overall project budget. While specific evaluation criteria are not fully detailed in the provided summary, the emphasis on diverse business participation suggests a holistic review process that considers both technical capabilities and organizational representation. The total project funding of $2,957,000 indicates a significant infrastructure investment, with administrative services representing a critical component of successful grant management and project implementation.
