Grant Writing and Strategic Government Relations Services

It is the intention of the City to apply for grants which address documented City needs associated with service delivery and necessary capital infrastructure improvements. In addition, it is the intent of the City to apply for grants which not only are consistent with identified City needs but those grants that can be property and efficiently administered by staff taking into account existing duties and responsibilities. The goal of the City’s grant program is to secure funding for services and projects which the City otherwise would be required to utilize local tax dollars.

The City is also seeking the services of a firm with a demonstrated track record of securing congressionally directed funding, more commonly known as “earmarks”. Firms must demonstrate a strong working knowledge of the State and Federal legislative process. Demonstration of existing relationships with key decision makers with state and federal program administrators is strongly desired.

Max Upton, Director of Economic & Community Development, will be the overall project coordinator for this project. All inquiries relating to this request shall be addressed to:

Max Upton, Director of Economic & Community Development
City of North Olmsted
5200 Dover Center Road
(440) 716-4118
uptonm@north-olmsted.com

Respondents must submit (6) HARD COPY PROPOSALS and one USB thumb drive containing the PDF File to the attention of Max Upton, Director of Economic and Community Development at the above address. Proposals must be received by the Director of Economic and Community Development by 3:00 p.m., on Friday March 3th, 2023. Late proposals will not be accepted.
