Construction Awards
Grant Process and Checklists
EDA Construction Grant Post Approval Process Tool (Version 6.0)
Once an EDA grant is awarded, an EDA Engineer/Construction Manager will hold a kickoff meeting with your organization and other key personnel for the project, explaining this Tool and how the process works.
Grantees can use this tool as a guide at every stage of the grant process to make sure that all bases are covered.
We developed checklists for key components such as:
- Site certificates
- Bid opening
- A/E contracts, and more.
Fact sheets and some reporting forms are also included.
