Hi Wayne,
It was a pleasure speaking with you this afternoon. The project in
Park Heights that you are pursuing sounds exciting and impactful. I think it is
something that the DHCD Commissioner and her Deputies will be interested in
being a part of.
As we discussed, normally we would look for an application
submitted via the Neighborly software portal, but since this looks like a good
candidate for an Amendment, you'll need to convince the Commissioner that this
should be addressed in an Amendment to the CDBG Action Plan. Eventually we will
need it entered into Neighborly, but that's for later.
I am forwarding you the application for Capital funds which will
provide some guidelines to your approach.
1. Section A . Contact Information: - We do not need the DUNS number
at this time, but the rest of the information will be good to include.
2. Section B. Organizational Capacity - include information on
previous experience with grants management and with construction/rehab project
management
3. Section C. Most of this is not needed at this stage, but
some reference to the organization's fiscal management will be helpful
4. Section D. Contracting Requirements - I would include
since this section speaks to your ability to work with a construction firm
5. Section E. Personnel - don't include the information asked for in
this section at this stage. We will ask for it later. Include the names of key
personnel in the venture.
6. Section F. Project Narrative - this is an important section. I
would briefly describe the training program and the proposed student
population. Also describe the facility that you need to rehab - dimensions,
number of rooms and their uses, special facilities and laboratories/workshops.
This would be an Economic Development project, so please state that.
7. Section G. Property Information - if you have the property by
then, then give as much information as you can. If you are will pursuing a
property, you can mention the property(s) you are looking at, but in
general, I would put TBD.
8. Section H. Capital Budget - please see and use the attached Excel
Spreadsheet. This is a drop-down table in the Neighborly portal.
9. Section I. Capital Project Leveraging - tell us about any
other funds you have approved or are pending - federal, state, local,
charitable and private funds. Also mention if there are Saved funds that are
slated to be used on this project. Ignore the in-kind for now.
10. Sections J. Conflict of Interest and K. Required Documents can be
ignored.
