City Council Meeting · 2026-04-28 · agenda_item

The City of Cocoa is planning to engage Grant Management Services through a piggyback contract with Stafford County, Virginia's RFP 25005. Merchant McIntyre Associates has been selected for this service. The initial contract is for a six-month trial period, with an option to extend for a full year, potentially increasing the total budget to $102,000. The City Council has approved this contract, and the City Manager is authorized to execute it. This project involves identifying and securing grant opportunities, which will require staff to narrow down focus areas within the city's comprehensive plan. A progress report will be provided before any extension beyond the initial six months. This early stage offers an opportunity for businesses specializing in grant writing, research, and financial consulting to connect with the city as they define specific grant targets and application strategies.
