The City of Mobile ("City") has been awarded Community Development Block Grant - Disaster Recovery (CDBG-DR) funds through a subrecipient agreement with the Alabama Department of Economic and Community Affairs (ADECA). As part of the award, the City was required to submit and have approved by ADECA a Local Recovery Plan (LRP) that outlines overall disaster recovery need, an analysis of long-term recovery project types and mitigation efforts that can be taken to reduce future disaster impacts, and an analysis of neighborhood architectural features to act as a developer guide during rebuild efforts. The ADECA funds are being provided as part of an allocation of CDBG-DR funds from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) in response to Hurricanes Sally and Zeta that occurred in 2020.
The City of Mobile is seeking implementation support to assist in the delivery of projects that have been identified in the LRP and which are consistent with ADECA's CDBG-DR Action Plan for these funds. Implementation support will include compiling information to be submitted to ADECA through its HHMID Activity Profile Form and other future required submittal forms, file management, inspection services, project underwriting and budgeting services, and ad hoc duties as assigned in furthering the grant through completion of the various selected projects.
The City of Mobile is seeking proposals from Proposers that have specific experience and qualifications in the areas identified in this solicitation, in particular experience with CDBG and CDBG-DR. For consideration, proposals must contain evidence of the Proposer's experience and abilities in the specified area and other disciplines directly related to the proposed service.
The current ADECA approved LRP Budget for the City of Mobile is:
Housing: $32,334,137
Infrastructure: $20,814,900
Within the above approved budget a minimum of $7,972,355 is set aside for mitigation.
