We are <br />committed to perform timely shop drawing reviews, <br />respond to RFIs, RFMs, and provide value-added <br />suggestions to the contractor and the client for better <br />projectoutcomes.Ourgoalistokeepprojectmoving <br />forward per approved schedule or at a better pace. <br />Grant Services <br />CED brings extensive experience in grant writing and <br />administration, particularly in supporting municipalities <br />and local government agencies. Our Grants & <br />Funding Services team focuses on strategic research, <br />application preparation, and ensuring full compliance <br />with administrative requirements. Having successfully <br />assisted over 80 municipalities, counties, and utility <br />authorities, we have secured funding for over 394 <br />projects,totalingmorethan$265Mingrantsandlow- <br />interest loans. <br />Theexpertisewithinourteamspansfromoneto35years <br />in the grant industry, with extensive experience working <br />alongside local governments and federal agencies.

For each grant <br />program, we begin by identifying the City’s previous <br />experience with the program and whether an application <br />madepreviouslywassuccessful.Paramounttoourfirm’s <br />culture is identifying lessons learned and devising means <br />to improve. If applicable, we will request a de-brief of the <br />previous application to understand reasons for funding <br />being denied. <br />Once a decision to apply is made by the City, our team <br />will schedule a meeting to discuss the all key program <br />details. We will create a comprehensive list of all required <br />application items and – collaborating with the applicant, <br />projectpartners,engineers,andtechnicalstaff–assign <br />team members to each application item. An application <br />preparation schedule is developed working backward <br />from the application deadline, planned submittal at least <br />one week prior if possible, allotting additional time for <br />clientandteamfinalreviewandrevisions,publichearing <br />and community engagement, governing body required <br />actionatmeetings,anddevelopmentofprojectscope, <br />estimate, maps, concepts, and all other supporting <br />documentation. <br />Thekeytoasuccessfulgrantapplicationisstrong <br />organizational skills and consistent coordination which <br />is how our grant team operates. Once an application is <br />submitted, we will create a follow up plan based on the <br />program’s anticipated award announcement schedule. <br />Colliers Engineering & Design   12
