County to solicit grant administrator for ARC federal grant; staff to seek rate sheets
Summary
County staff said federal rules require a procured grant administrator for a regional ARC grant and proposed soliciting rate sheets from multiple administrators; staff estimated administration fees of $5,000–$7,000 and will return with quotes.
Kenneth, a county staff member, told commissioners the county must formally procure a grant administrator to manage a regional Appalachian Regional Commission (ARC) grant because the award involves federal funds and professional services. "We are just gonna send out an email to three different or more different grant administrators and then have them send back their rate sheets," Kenneth said, adding, "I would imagine it would be between 5 and $7,000."
Kenneth said the procurement aims to prevent audit findings tied to federal requirements and that the county will present returned rate sheets at a future work session for formal selection. Commissioners asked no substantive policy questions and moved to place the procurement item on a future agenda for approval once quotes are available.
