Three-Year Consolidated Plan for FY 2027-2029 and 2027 Annual Action Plan

The City of Rocky Mount is soliciting proposals from qualified firms or individual consultants to develop the 2027-2029 Consolidated Plan and the 2027 One-Year Annual Action Plan. This project is essential for meeting U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development regulatory requirements, specifically 24 CFR Part 91 and HUD guidance for the eCon Planning Suite. The selected consultant will be responsible for data collection and analysis of demographic and economic conditions, coordinating community engagement and public hearings, and establishing a strategic vision for funding resource allocation. The contract is a fixed-firm price with a maximum budget of 30,000 dollars and an initial term of 12 months, with final draft plans due on or about April 1, 2027. Proposals must be submitted by November 3, 2026, and require both a physical sealed package in a binder no thicker than one inch and an electronic copy via email. Required documentation includes a cover letter, title page, and specific attachments for pricing, acceptance of general terms, and supplemental vendor information. Awards will be based on the highest and best final evaluation, with a local preference policy allowing eligible local bidders to match the price of non-local bidders within five percent or 25,000 dollars. Vendors must certify compliance with North Carolina General Statutes, including E-Verify requirements for employers with more than 25 employees, and adhere to a NET 30-day payment cycle based on monthly invoicing.
