Montgomery County proposes $500,000 contract increase to have Booth Management Consulting run ARPA small-business grants
Summary
A proposed first amendment would expand Booth Management Consulting’s role from ARPA monitoring to administering a county ARPA Small Business Grant Program, increase the contract ceiling by $500,000 to $950,000, and set the period of performance from April 16, 2026, through March 31, 2027. Funding for administration would come from money reallocated from a discontinued Hope Credit Union loan program.
Montgomery County officials circulated a proposed first amendment to the county’s "ARPA Monitoring and Compliance Services" agreement with Booth Management Consulting, LLC that would add administration of an American Rescue Plan Act small-business grant program to the contractor’s responsibilities and raise the contract ceiling by $500,000 to a new not-to-exceed total of $950,000.
Kindell Anderson, Administrator, is listed as the author of the memorandum accompanying the amendment and sets out the rationale: “This amendment will include expanding the scope of services to include administration of the ARPA Small Business Grant Program,” and indicates the administration funds are being reallocated from the Hope Credit Union loan program that was ended.
The amendment text modifies Section 3 to incorporate a Revised Scope of Services (Attachment A) and specifies additional tasks for the consultant, including grant program administration, eligibility determination and pre-award risk assessments, review and processing of disbursements, ARPA compliance monitoring, financial reconciliation and reporting, and grant closeout and audit support.
Section 6 of the amendment increases the Agreement’s not-to-exceed amount by $500,000, bringing the revised ceiling to $950,000. The amendment also sets an additional period of performance for the expanded services from April 16, 2026, through March 31, 2027.
The document states Montgomery County will remain the contracting entity and may seek reimbursement from the City of Montgomery for shared costs under a separate agreement. The memorandum recommends approval; the packet does not record any Commission motion, roll-call vote, or final action on the amendment.
If executed, the amendment would delegate day-to-day administration and compliance monitoring of the county’s ARPA small-business grant effort to Booth Management Consulting for the stated performance period. The amendment includes signature blocks for the Montgomery County Commission, the Clerk of the Commission, Booth Management Consulting, LLC, and an authorized representative.
