The City of Glens Falls is seeking proposals from qualified individuals or firms with demonstrated extensive experience in administering HUD and New York State Division of Homes and Community Renewal programs, specifically for the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and HOME programs. The contract, anticipated to commence around September 2025 and extend for three years through September 2028, may be renewed for up to two additional years contingent upon satisfactory performance and continued federal and state funding. The scope of services encompasses comprehensive program administration, technical assistance, and advisory services, including preparing and managing program documents, reports, and environmental reviews, as well as overseeing housing rehabilitation and homeownership projects. The contractor will also monitor compliance with federal and state regulations, coordinate audits, assist with project agreements and amendments, and support public hearings and resolutions. Emphasis is placed on ensuring adherence to laws such as Davis-Bacon, fair housing, Section 3, environmental policies, and procurement standards, with a focus on timely reporting and expenditure to prevent loss of funds. Proposals are due by July 25, 2025, with the selection process evaluating technical approach, personnel qualifications, firm capacity, experience, proximity to community development activities, and cost. The contract will be awarded based on the most advantageous proposal that meets all requirements, with the City reserving the right to reject any submissions and waive minor noncompliance. The selected firm must comply with insurance, indemnification, conflict of interest, and equal opportunity policies, and will be responsible for maintaining all necessary staffing and documentation to support program delivery and audits. The contract emphasizes collaboration with City officials, adherence to federal and state laws, and the importance of timely submission of reports and expenditures to sustain program funding and compliance. The project location is primarily at the Community Development Office in Glens Falls, NY, and the contract will be structured on a cost-reimbursement or time-and-materials basis, with payments made after City approval.
