Role of the Grant Administrator
Query: The RFP is titled grant administration, but the services also read like design and construction oversight, and I’d like to hear how the board sees that role.
Response: As stated in the inquiry, the Grant Administrator is responsible for “paperwork: schedules, vouchers, compliance tracking, MWBE reporting.” In addition to tracking the paperwork, the Grant Administrator needs to be forward-looking and ensure that as project decisions are being made, they will meet grant requirements and be fiscally sound so that funding will be available when needed. We anticipate a close working relationship between the Grant Administrator, Architect/Engineer, and General Contractor as well as the Library to ensure the success of the project.
