RFP No. 2022-008 CDBG Small Cities Grant Application

The Town of Stonington, Connecticut has issued Request for Proposal (RFP) No. 2022-008 for a Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Small Cities Grant Application in New London County. The procurement seeks professional services to assist the town in preparing and submitting a comprehensive grant application for the CDBG Small Cities program. While specific details about the required services are limited, the RFP indicates that vendors must complete a questionnaire and provide proposal documentation related to the grant application process. The solicitation is open to all vendors and will be managed by Susan Cullen, the town's point of contact. The RFP was posted on March 25, 2022, with a strict proposal submission deadline of April 4, 2022, at 2:00 PM EDT. Proposals will be delivered using Free On Board Destination terms, and vendors are expected to specify their own payment terms. The solicitation has been designated as having no specific line items, suggesting a flexible approach to service delivery.

No specific set-aside designations or restrictions on vendor participation were explicitly detailed in the available documentation. The RFP does not indicate any preferences for disadvantaged business enterprises or specify limitations on who may respond. Additionally, no information was provided about incumbent vendors, current contractors, or existing infrastructure that might require integration. The documents consistently omit critical financial details, including the estimated total value of the contract, potential budget ranges, or specific funding sources beyond the general CDBG Small Cities program framework. Interested vendors are directed to contact Susan Cullen at scullen@stonington-ct.gov with any questions about the solicitation. The lack of specificity in the RFP suggests that potential respondents will need to proactively seek clarification about the exact scope and requirements of the grant application services.
