Pinellas County has received $813,783,000 in overall CDBG-DR funding. Pinellas County will receive proposals from vendors having specific experience and qualifications in the area identified in this solicitation. For consideration, proposals for this project must contain evidence of the vendor’s experience and abilities in the specified area and other disciplines directly related to the proposed services. Pinellas County reserves the right to select a vendor to provide any or all these services and Pinellas County may choose to select multiple vendors using this same RFP.

Pinellas County experienced significant devastation from Hurricanes Idalia, Helene, and Milton in 2024, resulting in substantial damage to infrastructure, housing, and local economic stability. The cumulative impact of these disasters highlighted the urgent need for long-term recovery planning and effective resource allocation. In response to these catastrophic events, Pinellas County has been awarded federal funds through the Community Development Block Grant – Disaster Recovery (CDBG-DR) which are designated specifically to address critical unmet needs that have not been fully covered by other federal assistance programs such as FEMA. Additionally, these funds aim to supplement existing recovery efforts, ensuring that resources do not duplicate or supplant other federal support.
