RE-advertisement: RFP for grant administration

The Town of Pollocksville, located in Jackson County, North Carolina, has issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) for grant administration services related to a $2,000,000 Community Development Block Grant-Infrastructure (CDBG-I) award from the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality (NCDEQ). The primary project involves the relocation of Sanitary Sewer Pump Station No. 2, currently situated at 111 East Street, with project completion expected by December 19, 2027. Grant administration services will encompass 13 key compliance areas, including environmental review, citizen participation, fair housing, labor standards compliance, and financial management. Proposals will be evaluated on a 100-point scale, considering factors such as general qualifications (20 points), prior CDBG experience (15 points), staff qualifications (10 points), ability to address local needs (20 points), availability (15 points), and cost of services (20 points). The proposal submission deadline is January 2, 2025, at 2:00 pm, with proposals to be delivered to 314 Main Street, PO Box 97, Pollocksville, NC 28573.

The Town of Pollocksville actively encourages participation from small, minority-owned, women-owned, veteran-owned, and Section 3 businesses, demonstrating a commitment to diverse vendor participation. The grant administration services will be entirely funded through CDBG-I funds, with the total project budget set at $2,000,000. A project map included in the RFP details the existing pump station location and the proposed relocation site, which is positioned outside both 100-year and 500-year flood plains. Prospective respondents should have extensive experience in CDBG grant administration, with demonstrated capabilities in navigating complex regulatory requirements and managing infrastructure project compliance. Language accessibility is also a priority, with RFP materials available in Spanish and other languages upon request. The contract term is anticipated to align with the project completion date of December 19, 2027, providing comprehensive administrative support throughout the infrastructure relocation process.
