CDBG I CONSTRUCTION GRANT ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES

The Town of Mount Olive is soliciting proposals for Grant Administrative Services to manage the administration of two North Carolina Community Development Block Grant–Infrastructure awards totaling $2,957,000, received on May 27, 2025, through the State Water Infrastructure Authority and the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality, Division of Water Infrastructure. The grant funds will support the rehabilitation or replacement of approximately 14,400 linear feet of existing 8-inch sewer lines within the town, with all work required to comply fully with federal CDBG-I program regulations, including equity, transparency, and inclusion of Historically Underutilized Businesses and Section 3 certified entities. The contract, identified under Solicitation Number 24-I-4203, will cover a three-year performance period and involves comprehensive grant management responsibilities such as compliance reporting, federal fund utilization oversight, and administrative support to ensure adherence to all applicable federal requirements under 2 CFR Part 200. Proposals must be submitted by August 21, 2026, at 3:00 P.M., either by physical delivery to Town Hall at 114 East James Street, Mount Olive, NC 28365, or via email to secretary@townofmountolivenc.com, with no electronic portal usage permitted. The award will be based on evaluation factors detailed exclusively in the full Request for Proposals, which includes minimum content requirements and selection criteria not provided here, and payments for administrative services will be drawn directly from the CDBG-I funding, with remittance processed through the Town’s official address. While the solicitation encourages participation from small, minority-, women-, veteran-, and Section 3-certified businesses, formal certifications for size status or socioeconomic category are not required to be submitted with the proposal, though compliance with federal affirmative action and reporting obligations remains mandatory. No specific line-item pricing, contract type, packaging, inspection standards, or detailed clauses are disclosed in the available documentation, and all definitive requirements—including those for proposal format, attachments, evaluation weights, and acceptance criteria—are contained only in the complete RFP, which must be obtained directly from Town Manager Octavius Murphy or Assistant Town Manager Sherry Davis.
