Gwinnett County, Georgia is requesting proposals for administration of a Small Business Assistance Program (SBAP) utilizing American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) and CARES Act Community Development Block Grant (CDBG-CV) funding on an annual contract with two optional one-year renewal periods, with proposals due December 16, 2022 at 2:50 p.m.

Total funding available is $5.948 million, comprised of $5 million in ARPA funds and $948,814 in CDBG-CV funds. Grant awards will range from $2,500 to $10,000 per small business, with awards determined by a defined formula based on employee count and gross revenue. The contractor may use up to 20% of CDBG-CV funds and 10% of ARPA funds for administrative and program expenses. At least 51% of grant beneficiaries must be qualifying low- to moderate-income small businesses for CDBG-CV compliance. The County anticipates approximately 1,700 applications based on historical CARES Act grant data.

The scope includes application portal development and management on the contractor's website, eligibility verification and SAM.gov registration, grant award processing and disbursement, technical assistance to applicants, contract development, comprehensive reporting, and record retention for five years after final payment. Applications will remain open 30 to 60 days, with all grant funds expected disbursed by December 31, 2023, and no less than 80% of CDBG-CV funds by October 31, 2023. The contractor must maintain professional liability insurance of $1 million with an A.M. Best rating of A-5 or higher and comply with federal CDBG regulations, drug-free workplace requirements, and anti-lobbying certifications.

A mandatory pre-proposal WebEx meeting is scheduled December 1, 2022 at 10:00 a.m. (dial-in 1-408-418-9388, access code 2342 334 5026).
