Disaster Recovery Consulting Services

The City of Houston is issuing a Request for Proposals (RFP-2026-0009) for Disaster Recovery Consulting Services, a professional services procurement seeking qualified firms to provide comprehensive consulting and grant management support for disaster-related recovery efforts. The primary objectives include assisting the City in applying to and managing State and Federal government grants for eligible disaster-related costs while ensuring compliance with Federal and State reimbursement guidelines. Qualified firms must specialize in disaster recovery consulting and grant management services, with demonstrated expertise in navigating complex federal and state grant processes. The contract will be awarded for an initial term of three years with two optional one-year renewal periods, creating a potential maximum engagement of five years, and the City intends to enter into one or more contracts with selected vendors. Key deliverables and service outcomes include grant application support, financial management and reporting, compliance documentation, and grant administration throughout the recovery process. The RFP was posted on April 17, 2026, with a proposal submission deadline of May 28, 2026. Specific evaluation criteria, detailed performance standards, pricing structures, and submission procedures are contained within the complete RFP documentation and associated attachments (including the Cost Proposal template in Attachment A, Federal Provisions Exhibit in Attachment C, and Sample Contract in Attachment B), which are accessible through the BeaconBid platform.

The available contract opportunity documents do not explicitly identify set-aside designations, disadvantaged business enterprise (DBE) requirements, or restrictions on eligible respondent types; however, as a federally-funded disaster recovery assistance program, the procurement is subject to federal compliance requirements outlined in the Federal Provisions Exhibit, which establishes mandatory federal clauses and compliance obligations that contractors must acknowledge and accept. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are identified in the posted materials. The specific budget range or award value for this procurement is not disclosed in the available documentation, and interested vendors must access the complete RFP through the BeaconBid platform to obtain detailed pricing expectations, cost categories, and financial parameters required for proposal submission. Given the federal funding sources involved in this disaster recovery grant management work, contractors should anticipate standard federal provisions related to audit rights, reporting requirements, and regulatory compliance as conditions of contract performance.
