The City of Gulfport seeks professional services from a qualified consulting firm with demonstrated expertise in municipal grant research, grant writing, funding development, and grant administration. The requested services include coordinating funding priorities; researching and evaluating grant and funding opportunities; developing grant proposals and concurrent applications; identifying leverage and stackable-funding strategies; preparing appropriations and direct-funding requests; supporting post-submission follow-up and resubmissions; and providing grant administration and post-award support. The City has documented a substantial history of grant-funded municipal projects, including infrastructure, storm mitigation, sewer, roadway, environmental, recreation, public safety, and facility improvements. Addendum A states that the City has no specific pending applications or funding deadlines requiring immediate attention after contract commencement. The addendum also provides an awarded-grants history covering 2014 through 2025 and identifies the City's five-year Penny for Pinellas capital improvement plan as the available capital plan. Proposals must conform to the specifications and instructions to bidders, identify any deviations, and be submitted as five hard copies plus one digital copy on a USB drive. The anticipated contract term is three years with up to two additional one-year renewals.
