RFP (Secondary) SGC26005 - TCC CRC Technical Assistance

California's Governor's Office of Land Use and Climate Innovation is requesting proposals for implementation technical assistance to Round 6 grantees of the Transformative Climate Communities Program and Round 2 grantees of the Community Resilience Centers Program, with proposals due January 15, 2027 at 5:00 p.m. PST. Small Business (25% if applicable) and Disabled Veterans Business Enterprise (3% if applicable) participation requirements apply.

The scope encompasses individualized grantee support in grant management, invoicing and reporting, project management, and subject-matter expertise in infrastructure projects and climate resilience. The Technical Assistance Provider will design and execute capacity-building programming to build implementation capacity across Planning Grants, Project Development Grants, and Implementation Grants. Services are delivered remotely at an approved location or onsite at LCI's office at 1400 Tenth Street, Sacramento, California during business hours (8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. PST, Monday through Friday, excluding State holidays). A conflict-of-interest provision prohibits direct Technical Assistance providers from being concurrent funded entities under TCC Round 6 or CRC Round 2 grants.

Proposals must include a project management plan identifying the Project Manager and all key personnel with qualifications, relevant experience, assigned hours, and task assignments; detailed methodology and specific tasks; schedule of deliverables and reports; work plan with timeline identifying major milestones and budget allocations by task; and resumes or biosketches for all key personnel in Exhibit E. Proposers must comply with California Secretary of State status verification, Franchise Tax Board verification, California Department of Tax and Fee verification, and relevant DGS certifications. Proposals must be formatted in 12-point Times New Roman, Arial, or Calibri font and written in third person.
