County approves five-year, $91,585 contract for cost-allocation planning
Summary
The board approved a five-year contract with MGT Impact Solutions, LLC to prepare the county’s cost allocation plans (administrative and IT), at a total cost of $91,585, so staff can evaluate grant‑charging options including the de minimis percentage method.
Ottawa County commissioners approved a five-year contract with MGT Impact Solutions, LLC for cost-allocation plan services at a total contract cost of $91,585.
County staff said MGT was selected from two bidders because of its experience analyzing both traditional annual cost-allocation plans and the federal "de minimis" method (recently increased toward 15%) that allows a straight percentage charge to federal grants. The work covers allocation of administrative, IT and internal-service costs across departments and grant programs.
Staff noted these plans affect how departments and external grant recipients are charged for central administrative services; the motion to approve the contract passed by roll call.
Staff will work with MGT to complete the analysis and implement any agreed allocation practices under federal guidelines.
