About this opportunity

The City of Bartow, Florida is requesting qualifications for Grant Consulting Services on an as-needed basis, with proposals due September 16, 2026. The City seeks one or more consultants to provide grant development and administration support across federal, state, and local funding landscapes.

The critical capability requirement is a proactive, embedded posture: the selected consultant(s) must function as an extension of the City's organization, actively monitoring funding opportunities and initiating outreach to City staff with relevant grant prospects and strategic guidance without City prompting. The consultant must demonstrate initiative, responsiveness, and forward-thinking support by consistently bringing opportunities, insights, and recommendations to advance the City's priorities, stay ahead of emerging programs and regulatory changes, and maximize competitiveness across multiple grant categories.

The scope encompasses identifying grant opportunities, developing grant applications, providing strategic guidance on compliance and administration, and monitoring deadlines and funding requirements. The engagement structure is flexible and as-needed rather than fixed-term with predetermined deliverables.

Federal clauses apply; the contract will incorporate standard federal compliance requirements and administrative obligations where federal funding or federal program participation is involved. No contract value, incumbent, set-asides, preferences, specific contract term, or evaluation criteria weighting are identified in the source materials.
