Summary of Request:
On July 9, 2024, the Mendocino County Purchasing Agent approved Agreement No. PA-24-21 with LACO Associates for disaster prevention, recovery, resiliency, and mitigation grant research and grant writing services. Through this Agreement LACO is expected to review and assess the County’s identified disaster prevention, recovery, resiliency, and mitigation-related unmet needs and potential projects, research the availability of federal, state, and private grant programs to identify potential funding sources, determine how to competitively align and structure funding requests and provide recommendations to the County to increase funding probability, and submit grant applications on behalf of Mendocino County. This Agreement is crucial to Mendocino County’s effort to secure and leverage grant funding for disaster recovery projects.
The proposed Amendment to Agreement No. PA-24-21 increases funds available by $50,000, for a new total of $100,000 to allow LACO to continue providing disaster prevention, recovery, resiliency, and mitigation grant research and grant writing services.
