RFP No. 23MSC003 Grantee Program Review

This Request for Proposal (RFP) No. 23MSC003 is issued by the California Air Resources Board (CARB) to solicit competitive proposals from experienced and qualified contractors to review grantee policies, procedures, and practices for the implementation of CARB-funded incentive programs. The review will cover project files, project inspections, and the development of findings, commendable efforts, and recommendations for program improvement for four grantees: the Sacramento Metropolitan Air Quality Management District, Placer County Air Pollution Control District, Grid Alternatives, and Community Housing Development Corporation. The contract term is 22.5 months, with a potential one-year option to renew, and a maximum budget of $1.1 million. The contractor is expected to complete the program reviews within the 22.5-month period, but CARB has the option to grant an additional 12 months if needed. The RFP outlines specific incentive programs and fiscal years to be reviewed for each grantee.

The RFP does not mention any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. There is also no information provided on any incumbent vendors or current contractors, or existing infrastructure or technology that requires integration. The RFP states that any cost proposals exceeding the $1.1 million budget will be disqualified and ineligible for award.
