The City receives federal funding from the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to provide a variety of programs and services for the community. This funding is dispersed through HUD’s Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program and has strict guidelines and requirements for all participating jurisdictions. The City has utilized the services of professional consulting teams to successfully administer this program and remain compliant with HUD’s strict guidelines.
In May 2026, the City issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) to ensure the City was receiving fair market consulting rates and quality services. Following evaluation of the submitted proposals and comprehensive interviews with the respondents, staff recommends the approval of the proposed Agreement with Willdan Engineering (Willdan), whose team demonstrates high proficiency and expertise in administering CDBG programs for other local agencies. In addition to its CDBG-related work, the proposed agreement includes on-call Housing Authority support services to supplement the needs of the Housing Division as a result of staffing vacancies and limited resources. The term of the Agreement is from November 9, 2026 to August 31, 2028 and includes a not to exceed amount of $97,315 for all proposed services. Staff recommends approval of the proposed Agreement with Willdan to provide critical CDBG program administration and Housing Program support services.
