Pre-RFP

Community Education Council District 28’s July 2, 2026 calendar meeting includes a presentation on Contracts for Excellence (C4E) by Superintendent Dr. Eric Blake and Senior Grant Officer Dragomira Koleva. C4E is a major state grant program that typically funds targeted academic supports, class size reduction, extended day/year, and related initiatives, and the presence of the superintendent and grant officer signals planning for how 2026-27 funds will be allocated in District 28 schools. While the agenda labels this presentation as tentative and does not list specific projects, this is clearly a forward-looking planning step for grant-funded instructional, staffing, and program investments. Vendors offering evidence-based curriculum, intervention programs, tutoring, extended learning, SEL supports, or associated professional services can use this window to align with emerging priorities before school- or district-level procurements are locked in. Outreach should focus on how offerings help the district meet C4E requirements and demonstrate measurable impact in targeted student subgroups.

The agenda lists the C4E presentation as tentative, so details may be adjusted at the meeting but th...

Grant Funding

The FY 2026-27 budget detail shows the City's Grants Management department administering a large portfolio of federal and state grant programs, including CDBG, HOME, CDBG-CV, HUD ARP Homeless, DOJ grants, Proposition A, tobacco grants, California state grants, and an Urban Greening grant under SB859. For FY 2026-27, this unit is programmed to manage roughly $14.8M in grant-funded activity, with major allocations to contract services, professional services, loan programs, rent assistance, and capital outlay/land improvements for community development and homeless services. Because these funds must be programmed into specific projects—such as housing rehabilitation, infrastructure and park improvements, homeless housing and services, and compliance/administration support—the City will continue to hire consultants, contractors, and service providers to execute eligible activities. Vendors in housing, planning, engineering, environmental, social services, compliance, and program administration can position themselves as implementation partners as staff scopes and renews annual project lists tied to these recurring grant sources.

Strong emphasis on CDBG, HOME, CDBG-CV, HUD ARP, DOJ, and Urban Greening grant dollars flowing throu...

Budget Planning

The FY27 budget for the City of Charlack includes a line item for $265,000 in “Project Grant reimbursement,” indicating the city expects to undertake one or more grant-funded projects during July 2026–June 2027 and then seek reimbursement. While the document does not specify the exact projects, this is a sizable grant component in a relatively small budget, suggesting capital, infrastructure, or community-improvement work will be scoped and executed in order to draw down these funds. Because specific projects are not yet identified in this budget-only view, there is an opportunity for consultants, engineers, and implementation vendors to help Charlack define, design, and deliver grant-eligible work. A useful next step would be to discuss with city leadership what grant awards they have received or are pursuing, and how external partners can assist with project planning, compliance, reporting, and execution needed to secure the full reimbursement.

The document is a budget P&L only, so specific grant programs and projects are not listed; follow-up...
