Grant Writing/Administrative & Related Grant Services

The City of Hogansville is seeking qualified consulting firms to provide comprehensive grant writing, administration, and related services for federally funded community and economic development projects. The contract aims to support projects such as Community Development Block Grants, Redevelopment Fund Projects, CHIP, EIP, and EDA initiatives, with an initial focus on a FY2026 Community Development Block Grant. The scope includes preparing grant applications, environmental reviews, financial management, public hearings, compliance with federal and state regulations—including labor standards, fair housing, and Section 3 requirements—and project close-out documentation. The procurement process emphasizes firms' experience with similar federal projects, their capacity based on current workload, key personnel qualifications, and proposed fee structures, with a preference for Section 3 Business Concerns to participate. The contract size ranges from $50,000 to $250,000, with the City reserving the right to accept or reject proposals and waive informalities. The selected firm will operate under federal and state contract provisions, including compliance with laws such as Title VI, the Fair Housing Act, the Rehabilitation Act, and the ADA. The project timeline envisions contracting within a year of the solicitation date, with immediate efforts directed toward the FY2026 grant and potential future federally funded opportunities over the next two years. Proposals are due 30 days after June 30, 2025, and must include detailed information on the firm's experience, resources, key personnel, references, fees, and certifications. The City encourages interested firms to submit their qualifications and related documentation to Lisa Kelly, the designated point of contact, ensuring adherence to all specified requirements and deadlines.
