The City of Homestead is creating a pre‑qualified pool of consultants to deliver comprehensive grant consulting services for municipal projects. Selected firms will be called on a task‑order basis to research funding opportunities, write and submit grant applications, and manage post‑award compliance across a wide range of city priorities such as transportation, infrastructure, public safety, economic development, parks, technology and community development. The contract is a three‑year agreement (with two optional one‑year extensions) and will be awarded to one or more firms that demonstrate proven grant‑writing experience with federal, state or private sources, strong project‑management capabilities, and familiarity with 2 CFR Part 200 compliance.
• Scope includes grant research, opportunity identification, eligibility analysis, and reporting.
• Services cover full grant writing, budgeting, narrative development, submission support, and electronic portal coordination.
• Post‑award duties involve compliance tracking, progress/financial reporting, audit preparation, and close‑out.
• Work is assigned via task orders; the City may solicit multiple firms for a single task based on expertise.
• Minimum contract term: 3 years (possible extension to 5 years).
• Required qualifications: ≥3 years experience with municipal grant programs (USDOT, EPA, HUD, FEMA, etc.), demonstrated successful award history, and ability to meet strict deadlines.
