Willacy County to solicit grant administrators and engineers for Community Development Fund projects
Summary
The county authorized an RFP for grant administration and an RFQ for engineering services tied to the Texas Department of Agriculture Community Development Fund for FY2027/2028, emphasizing top priority activities: water, wastewater, drainage and road improvements and a local match of 2%.
County staff presented the opportunity to advertise a request for proposals (RFP) for grant administration and a request for qualifications (RFQ) for engineering services to pursue the Texas Department of Agriculture's Community Development Fund for FY2027 and FY2028.
Staff outlined scoring criteria: a total of 200 points with 50 regional-priority points, local match scoring components and a 2% local match for counties. Priority activities identified for the region are water, wastewater, drainage and road improvements. Commissioners approved advertising the RFP and RFQ to solicit grant administrators and engineers and asked staff to return with more detailed project options if members want to target specific priorities.
The court noted that selecting an administrator would not commit the county to pay unless an application is successful; administrative costs would be incurred only if the county is selected for funded projects.
