Okaloosa County Sealed Solicitation
Title: General and Technical Accounting Services
Deadline: 7/26/2023 3:00 PM (UTC-06:00) Central Time (US & Canada)
Status: Awarded
Solicitation Number: RFQ OMB 63-23
Description: It is the intent of Okaloosa County, on behalf of its Office of Management and Budget Department (OMB), to contract with multiple professional consulting firms for general and technical accounting services. Federal Emergency Management Agency’s (FEMA) Public Assistance Program provides supplemental grants to state, tribal, territorial, and local governments, and certain types of private non-profits so communities can quickly respond to and recover from major disasters or emergencies. After an event like a hurricane, tornado, earthquake or wildfire, communities need help to cover their costs for debris removal, life-saving emergency protective measures, and restoring public infrastructure. FEMA also encourages protecting these damaged facilities from future events by providing assistance for hazard mitigation measures during the recovery process.
