Exhibit C - Request for Proposal Process <br /> • <br /> The County distributes its CDBG and HOME allocations through a <br /> Request for Proposal (RFP) process. This competitive process is <br /> intended to ensure that the projects funded by the County are <br /> consistent with the County' s Consolidated Plan (CP) priorities <br /> and objectives, are eligible for CDBG and HOME funds, and can be• <br /> implemented in a timely manner. <br /> In order to rate and rank the projects, the OHCD has developed <br /> the County project selection system. The system is intended to <br /> ensure that the projects submitted to HUD are eligible for funds <br /> and can be implemented in a timely manner. The project must <br /> also be consistent withthe priorities and objectives in the CP. <br /> Three raters review each project proposal. Projects that meet <br /> the threshold requirements are rated. The scores are totaled <br /> and the projects are ranked in order of the points awarded. The <br /> project proposals that do 'not meet the threshold requirements <br /> are deemed not eligible and not rated. <br /> Based on •the ratings, the OHCD contacts each applicant to <br /> determine whether the project can be completed with the amount <br /> of funds that is recommended. The final recommendation is made <br /> by the OHCD and provided to the Mayor for concurrence and to the <br /> Finance Committee and Council for approval. <br /> 2170hbmi <br /> • <br />
