The RACP handbook, prepared by the Pennsylvania Office of the Budget, provides Grantees with the basic program eligibility, application and compliance requirement information. However, the details associated with the compliance requirements and related reporting issues with articles such as the PA Prevailing Wage Act, the Steel Products Procurement Act, bid solicitation, match funding eligibility and interaction with other State and Federal funding requirements often can be significant stumbling blocks. Losses of funding, ineligibility of project components, increased costs and construction delays can result when these requirements are not fully understood.

Caliber Consulting’s depth of knowledge and experience with the details of the program, the Office of Budget policies and relationships with Office of Budget staff can smooth the way for Grantees from the beginning to the end of the RACP process.

By providing clear, concise direction with respect to the project scope development, funding scheme, application preparation, file organization, compliance reporting, contractor coordination and communication with the Office of the Budget, Caliber Consulting can save Grantees time, money, frustration and unnecessary work activity. By ensuring that the project is compliant and well ordered, Grantees put themselves in the best position possible to receive timely grant reimbursements, improve project cash flow, reduce interim financing fees and minimize grantee administrative time.

Services may be catered to provide support at any level deemed appropriate by the Grantee. Depending on your need, Caliber Consulting is available to assist you on an hourly consulting basis or with full-time project oversight.
