Sub Task A: Grant Selection Workshop Once the potential grants have been identified under Task 1 and research concluded, the Consultant will work to determine which subset of those grant opportunities are the most likely to be successful and considered critical funding opportunities. The Task 2 Grant Selection Workshop will be conducted virtually with key City staff to determine which grants or other strategies, based upon what has been learned in Task 1, afford the greatest likelihood of success. Consultant will arrange the Task 2 Grant Selection Workshop in collaboration with the City during the first of three (3) every other week virtual Leadership Team status meetings, which will be 90 minutes while the others will remain 30-minutes in length. The virtual 90-minute Grant Selection Workshop will seek to accomplish the following objectives: Determine which grants are the best fit based upon scope and typical grant size; Determine which grants provide sufficient time to develop a quality application and generate support for the Project; Determine what if any additional local funding can be identified; Develop preliminary scope and cost estimates to apply for each target; Prioritize the opportunities to identify the grants to target; and Determine the amount of funds to request for each of the target grants. Sub Task B: Prioritized List of Critical Opportunities The outcomes from the Grant Selection Workshop will be captured in a prioritized version of the Task 1 list. Additional columns will be added to the matrix to record the input and recommendations developed during the Task 2 Workshop, application target date, proposed size of the funding request, and estimated cost to complete the application package. Sub Task C: Presentation of List to City The Prioritized List from Sub Task B will be presented in a 90-minute virtual meeting to the City’s Oversight Team for review, discussion and agreement on the grants to be pursued. Following this call, the Consultant will produce a written message for the City Manager’s monthly Council Connection newsletter, and depending upon Leadership Team’s input, provide a status report to SMCTA staff on the progress of the Plan development.
