Livingston council authorizes GLO CDBG‑DR applications, issues RFP/RFQ and appoints review committee
Summary
The council authorized submission of up to two projects to the GLO 2024 CDBG‑DR Local Communities Program (each $500,000–$5,000,000), approved an RFP for grant administration, an RFQ for engineering services, and appointed a three‑member Rating Review Committee to score proposals.
City Manager Billy S. Wiggins told the council that the City of Livingston may submit up to two projects—each between $500,000 and $5,000,000—to the Texas General Land Office (GLO) 2024 Community Development Block Grant Disaster Recovery (CDBG‑DR) Local Communities Program.
Council authorized submission of applications to the GLO program and approved issuing a Request for Proposals for grant administration professional services and a Request for Qualifications for engineering, architectural and surveying services to support potential projects. The council voted unanimously to proceed.
To evaluate responsive proposals, the council appointed a Rating Review Committee composed of City Manager Billy S. Wiggins, City Secretary/Assistant City Manager Ellie Monteaux, and Finance Director Linnette Barker. Council members noted the need to follow the GLO scoring sheets when reviewing proposals and acknowledged that other entities may also apply for LCP funds.
The actions move the city into the procurement phase for potential recovery projects; council did not identify specific project scopes or request allocations at this meeting.
