DEPARTMENT: Grants Administration
TYPE OF PURCHASE: Term Contract
REASON: The Office of Grants Administration ("Grants") is
seeking to procure a Grants Locator. Grants is
seeking to acquire this grants locator software, as it is
a web -based application containing a collection of
internally generated content, and is based on the
research of Federal, State, and Foundation grants.
For the most part, the Grants locator covers all
Federal and State (Ca, FI, Tx, II, and Oh) grants. The
Grants Locator is relied upon by over 400 local
governmental entities on a nationwide basis, and
covers at least 95% of available competitive grants
from these funders. The City has utilized eCivis for
Grants Location services in the past as a sole source
acquisition per Resolution 02-037, and as a result,
Grants has had great success in locating grants for
City Initiatives and Programs.

award have been negotiated so as to obtain the most
favorable terms and conditions, including price, as
may be offered to other customers or clients by
eCivis. I am recommending that the requirements for
competitive bidding be waived, and these findings be
approved: eCivis is the sole source provider of a
Grants Locator, for the Office of. Grants
Administration, for one year, with the option to renew
