Q: We plan to submit an application in partnership with a university. Because university students will provide some of the services the project must follow one of the following timelines: start March 1, 2017 end May 30, 2017 or start September 1, 2017 end November 30, 2017. The RFA states that awardees will be notified within six weeks of the application due date (roughly mid-March). If DDOE is unable to award and contract for services by March 1 will the District accept the later start and end dates?
A: DOEE will work diligently to select a grantee within six weeks of the application due date. The project period begins on the date of the award letter and must be completed – with all report(s) filed – by September 30, 2017.
