Dear Omni Redevelopment District Community Redevelopment Agency,
I am delighted to extend my congratulations to your organization, which has been awarded funds
towards a Special Category Grant from the Department of State's Division of Historical Resources. The
historic preservation grants specialist assigned to your project will contact you soon to begin the
process towards the execution of a grant award agreement. He/she will be your main point of contact,
but please feel free to contact me at any time. In the meantime, I wish to offer the following
information to help you get started:
• Grants Online System - The Department of States uses a Department -wide online grants
system. Please visit dosgrants.com and make sure the Project Contact is still active, along
with that person's information including active email address and telephone numbers. We will
be using the online system to manage, monitor, and review all documents related to the grant
project.
• Procurement - If your grant will require a contractor's services (e.g. architect, engineer,
general contractor, archaeologist, survey consultant, web designer), depending on the
contract amount for those services, you will be required to document your selection process.
Also, draft contracts must be reviewed and approved by the Division prior to the solicitation of
services and/or execution. You must wait until the grant award agreement is fully executed
before submitting draft contracts for review; if applicable, please refer to AIA contracts for
guidance.
• Start Date - Please remember that the grant award period has not begun and that work
undertaken prior to July 1st will not be covered by the grant award or match. Also, work
inconsistent with the approved scope of work will not be covered, regardless of when it is
performed.
• How to Manage your Grant Presentation - A pdf version of the "How to Manage your Grant"
presentation is currently available on our webpage at FLHeritage.com for your convenience.
We will also be hosting webinars on this subject in late July.
We look forward to working with you.
