City Council Meeting · 2026-04-14 · 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 a contingency of $51,000.00. The City Manager is authorized to approve budget modifications up to $102,000 if services are extended beyond the trial period. The City Council has approved this item, with a requirement for a progress report before any extension beyond the initial six months. This project involves grant identification, application, and management. The scope of work will likely include research, proposal writing, and reporting. Local businesses that provide professional services, particularly in grant writing and financial consulting, may find opportunities. Engaging early before final contract details are settled could provide an advantage.
