On Call Grant Writing Services

The City of Hartford is seeking qualified individuals or firms to serve on an “on‑call” list of grant writers. Selected writers will be assigned grant‑writing projects at the City’s discretion and will be responsible for full‑cycle development of grant applications across a wide range of funding sources (federal, state, private foundations, corporate, technical‑assistance). The solicitation does not set a fixed budget; fees are proposed by vendors and may be negotiated. The contract term is one year with the possibility of up to three one‑year renewals or short‑term extensions. • Provide grant planning, stakeholder coordination, budget justification, drafting, editing, and submission preparation. • Must have experience with federal, state and foundation grant portals and required forms (SF‑424, FFATA, etc.). • Submit writing samples, past performance references, and a fee proposal (flat‑rate or hourly). • No bid bond required; performance/payment bonds only if contract exceeds $50,000. • Insurance and compliance (EEO, equal‑opportunity) are required prior to contract award.
