What to Expect:

Pre-Award

• Notice of Award – Once the evaluation team has concluded its scoring process and made its funding decisions, ECO staff will distribute Notice Of Award communication to successful applicants, as well as notification of the outcome to unsuccessful applicants, via email.
• Pre-Award Submittals – ECO staff will typically request a set of information and documents from successful applicants to start the contracting process, including:
  
  • King County Substitute W-9 Form (KC-W9)
  • Certificate(s) of Insurance and Endorsements
  • Contact information of organization’s Project Manager and Signing Official
  • Additional program submittals as assigned
• Federal Subawards – An award of federal funds determined to be a subaward will require additional administrative steps including a debarment check and risk assessment. ECO will assign additional monitoring and training resources as necessary to ensure that the subrecipient organization can fully comply with federal statutes, regulations, and the terms and conditions of the subaward.
• Contract Execution - ECO staff will finalize any clarifications to the Scope Of Work, application, and budget, then route a Contract via DocuSign for review and signature.

Post Award

• Kickoff Meeting – Once the Contract is executed, ECO staff will schedule a kickoff meeting with the awarded organization to review contract requirements, responsibilities, communication, schedule, billing, reporting, and performance measurement.
• Progress Meetings – Awardees should expect to participate in regular monthly progress meetings, virtually or in-person, which may occur more or less frequently at the discretion of the ECO Project Manager.
• Reporting – ECO will assign interim and final project reports detailing completed, ongoing, and planned project activities, performance metrics, participant data, outputs, and outcomes.
• Payment – Organizations may select the preferred method of payment, with ACH bank transfer being the most efficient and frequently selected. King County will promptly pay all properly submitted invoices for work accepted by the County within 30 days.
