County to solicit grant administrator for ARC-funded project
Summary
County staff told commissioners they will solicit at least three grant-administrator proposals to manage an ARC grant that requires professional procurement; commissioners asked for fee quotes and agreed to revisit the item at the next work session.
Chair (Speaker 1) opened discussion by noting staff attendance and then turned the floor to a staff member (Speaker 6) who summarized ARC conference takeaways and three follow-up needs. Speaker 6 said the county must hire a grant administrator for an ARC-funded project because federal funds require a professional-services procurement. "We are just gonna send out an email to 3 different or or more different grant administrators and then have them send back their rate sheets," Speaker 6 said and pledged to bring fee quotes back to the commission.
The commission discussed timing and procurement mechanics. Speaker 4 (staff member) said the item will be placed on the next work session once fees are available. No dollar amount for a contract was approved at the meeting; Speaker 6 estimated administrative fees would likely be "between 5 and $7,000" but said she would return with concrete quotes for formal action. The commission did not authorize a specific vendor at this meeting; they directed staff to solicit proposals and report back.
