Agenda 09/11/2012 Item #16F 79/11/2012 Item 16.F.7.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation that the Board of County Commissioners awards Request for Proposal (RFP) 12-
5903 for Grant Writing and Project Management Oversight Services to Guardian Community,
Resource Management, Inc., and authorize the Chairman to sign the county attorney approved
agreement (anticipated annual spend: $25,000).
OBJECTIVE: To provide timely grant writing and project oversight services for County projects on an
as needed basis.
CONSIDERATIONS: The purpose of this contract is to provide for an annual fixed term retainer
agreement for professional grant writing and oversight services on an as needed basis. A solicitation was
developed to supplement existing staff resources and to provide on -going quick response needs for
professional consulting services for grant writing and project management oversight services.
A solicitation notice was sent to approximately 1,046 email addresses on May 31, 2012; 58 firms
downloaded the solicitation package; and one firm, Guardian Community Resource Management, Inc.
submitted a proposal by the due date of June 28, 2012. A Selection Committee meeting was held on July
11, 2012 and after a review of the firm's qualifications, experience, past performance and cost proposal,
the Selection Committee reached consensus and recommended the selection of Guardian Community
Resource Management, Inc. for award of the contract. While this contract is specifically addressing the
needs of the County's Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) program and the Housing, Human and
Veterans Services specialized grant reports and HUD required environmental reviews, any Collier County
department may use the resultant contract to fulfill similar requirements.
Staff supports the Selection Committee's recommendation for award.
FISCAL IMPACT: Funds for grant writing and project management oversight services would be
funded as determined by the individual department when the services of this firm are utilized on an "as
needed" basis and funded within individual Departments annual budgets or by the grant if allowed.
Annually spending averaged $14,000 on the prior contract and could increase above the average with the
addition of HUD environmental reviews ($10,000) and project management oversight tasks.
GROWTH MANAGEMENT: This Executive Summary has no direct impact on the Growth
Management Plan.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item has been reviewed by the County Attorney, is legally
sufficient, and requires majority vote for approval. -JAK
RECOMMENDATION: That the Board of County Commissioners awards Request for Proposal (RFP)
12 -5903 for Grant Writing and Project Management Oversight Services to Guardian Community
Resource Management, Inc., and authorizes the Chairman to sign the approved agreement.
