Grant Writing and Consulting Services

The City of Killeen has issued Request for Qualifications 27-05 to secure professional grant research, writing, administration, and consulting services. The selected firm will support a wide range of municipal priorities, including infrastructure development, public safety, economic development, aviation, and parks and recreation. The scope of work encompasses identifying federal, state, regional, and private funding opportunities, preparing comprehensive grant applications and budgets, and providing post-award compliance and reporting support. This engagement is structured as an as-needed service contract with an initial five-year term and an option for a single five-year renewal, potentially extending the total period to ten years. Proposals will be evaluated using a weighted best-value selection process rather than a lowest-price approach. Evaluation criteria are distributed among grant experience (25%), methodology and approach (25%), team qualifications and capacity (20%), demonstrated grant success and outcomes (20%), and alignment with City strategic needs (10%). Interested firms must submit a Statement of Qualifications not exceeding 20 pages via the City's electronic procurement portal by the August 27, 2026, deadline. Mandatory requirements for respondents include providing a Unique Entity Identifier, disclosing criminal history or litigation, and adhering to specific insurance coverage minimums, including one million dollars in general liability per occurrence.
