DEP gives RFP timeline, posting platforms and reimbursement rules for Section 319 grants
Summary
DEP said the RFP is expected on August 19 (to be posted on COMMBUYS and the DEP website), proposals will be due roughly two months later, awards notified in winter 2027, and reimbursements will be paid after invoice submission with the final 10% withheld until deliverables are accepted.
Department staff provided logistical details: the RFP was anticipated for release on August 19 and will be posted on COMMBUYS and the DEP website and distributed via email. Staff said they will answer general questions prior to RFP issuance but cannot help with conceptual questions or proposal content once the RFP is posted.
Regarding payments and contract terms, the presenter stated grants operate on a reimbursement basis: invoices with supporting documents will be required and the department will withhold the final 10% of each award until all deliverables are completed and accepted. The agency expects to notify applicants in winter 2027 and begin contracts in late winter or early spring.
