The City of Miami Beach is seeking applications from firms to participate in a prequalification pool for grant writing and reporting services. The selected firms will be placed on a prequalification list that the Grants Management Division can access to obtain price proposals for grant writing and reporting services. The scope of work includes preparing grant applications, coordinating with department administrators, tracking the status of grant applications, and creating reports. The prequalification process will be ongoing, with no deadline for submission. The City reserves the right to request clarifications or additional information and to verify compliance with the requirements. Some key points to consider: • The City is seeking firms with experience in grant writing and assistance services for municipalities or other governmental agencies. • The prequalification application must be submitted electronically, and the City reserves the right to request additional information. • The prequalified firms will be selected based on their qualifications, experience, and ability to provide the required services. • The contract will be for a period of 3 years, with the option for renewal. • The City has a "Cone of Silence" ordinance that prohibits communication with City employees or officials during the procurement process, except for the Procurement Director or their administrative staff.
