Bay City picks GrantWorks to pursue up to $5 million in GLO disaster-recovery funding
Summary
The council approved staff’s recommendation to award GrantWorks grant-administration services to prepare and pursue up to $5,000,000 in Texas GLO CDBG disaster-recovery funding for drainage and flood-mitigation projects; staff said the city may submit up to two projects.
City staff presented an RFP for grant administration to support application preparation and implementation for the Texas General Land Office (GLO) CDBG-Disaster Recovery program, describing the program as focused on drainage and flood mitigation and noting awards could be for up to $5,000,000. Gabriel Lopez said the application process is two-phased: the city will submit a preliminary application and, if called back, submit detailed project applications; the awarded administrator would help with phase-one application writing and follow through.
The council approved staff’s recommendation to award administration services to GrantWorks. "This program is for drainage activities and flood mitigation … It's up to 5,000,000," Gabriel Lopez said during the presentation. Councilmember remarks emphasized that if the grant is not awarded, there is no cost to the city for the administration work; if the city is awarded, costs would be associated later in the project.
