Dear Ms. Coelho,
Stantec Consulting Services Inc. (Stantec) is pleased to submit this proposal to the City of Tulelake (the City) to provide assistance with one application to the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) for a brownfield Community-wide Assessment Grant. It is anticipated that the grant application will focus on assessment and reuse planning for contaminated, vacant, or underutilized sites in one or more identified focus areas. The grant application will be submitted during the USEPA fiscal year (FY) 2026 brownfield grant competition.
Scope of Work
Stantec will lead in application preparation with appropriate support from the City. One area Stantec will need significant assistance from the City is in identifying community-based organizations or other entities who will be featured as community engagement partners under the grant. Stanted application assistance • Working closely with City staff to obtain and review relevant background documents and conducting research to prepare various sections of the grant application. • Virtual/conference call meetings with City staff as needed throughout the grant application process. • Assisting the City in the preparation of a draft grant application that will be substantially completed two weeks prior to the submittal deadline.
• Addressing City staff comments on the draft narrative prepared by Stantec and providing revised narrative for final review at least three days prior to the submittal deadline. • Assisting City staff with assembling the final application package for submittal to USEPA. • Other activities identified by Stantec and the City that will increase the likelihood of a successful November 25, 2025
Reference: Proposal for Grant Writing Services - FY 2026 USEPA Community-wide Assessment Grant Approach
Vince Battaglia and Neil Doran, Stantec's highly experienced California grant writers, will lead preparation of the grant application supported by team members with diverse and specialized technical skill sets such as historical research, demographic/economic/health data mining, geographic information systems, environmental inquiry, and public involvement planning. Our grant writers collaborate across USEPA regions, sharing information and insights that allow us to create compelling grant applications. Senior staff provide expert level review and help ensure that grant applications align with evolving USEPA standards.
We will leverage our extensive experience in conveying the needs and benefits of the City's brownfield project, including:
Demonstrating financial need and impact of brownfields on disadvantaged populations. • Documenting health, welfare, and environmental justice impacts. • Documenting economic impacts.
• Defining the project scope, schedule, and budget.
• Engaging with the community and project partners.
In addition to the strategies noted above, we will work closely with the City to ensure that each section of the application meets all USEPA requirements and addresses USEA key points of concern to ensure a complete and compelling application.
Assumptions
Although we will assist with all grant application activities, the nature of the project requires a strong partnership with the City and Stantec working together to deliver a superior application that will be selected for funding. We find the best results come when grantees are fully engaged in the grant writing process.
Therefore, we request the following support from City staff:
• Attend a kick-off meeting and assist with identifying key background documents. : Load any commurity engagement activities recommandad as part of the grant apication process. Provide timely response to questions, reviews, and requested feedback throughout the grant application process.
• The City will complete any necessary registrations with the grants.gov and sam.gov systems at least one month prior to the application deadline. Stantec is happy to assist with this.

The table below identifies an example schedule for the grant preparation process.
Tasks Start Date and Anticipated Completion Date
