Fairmont RFP Grant Administration

The Town of Fairmont, located in Robeson County, North Carolina, is seeking grant administration services for a Community Development Block Grant-Neighborhood Revitalization (CDBG-NR) project valued at $950,000. The procurement involves comprehensive grant administration services to support the demolition and reconstruction of four housing units throughout the town over a 36-month period. Required services include environmental review compliance, citizen participation management, fair housing compliance, labor standards oversight, home inspections, construction document preparation, and coordination of asbestos and lead paint inspections. Proposals must be submitted by March 13, 2025, at 2:00 p.m. to Jerome Chestnut. The evaluation criteria will assess proposals on a 100-point scale, with points distributed across qualifications (20 points), prior CDBG housing grant experience (20 points), staff qualifications (25 points), ability to address local needs (15 points), availability (15 points), and cost of services (10 points).

The Town of Fairmont demonstrates a commitment to diversity by explicitly encouraging submissions from minority and women-owned firms, historically underutilized businesses, and certified Section 3 business concerns. The grant administration fees will be paid using CDBG-NR funds, which provides financial support for qualifying organizations. While no incumbent vendors are specifically mentioned, the project is funded through a $950,000 award from the North Carolina Department of Commerce, suggesting significant potential for comprehensive administrative services. The procurement is structured to ensure compliance with all applicable requirements under the North Carolina CDBG-NR Program, with a focus on supporting local housing development and revitalization efforts. Potential respondents should be prepared to demonstrate extensive experience in managing complex housing grant projects and navigating intricate regulatory compliance requirements.
