The Department of Cultural Affairs is seeking to enter negotiations with Lower Manhattan Cultural Council, Inc. for grant administration of the SoHo/NoHo Arts Fund, pursuant to Sections 3-04(b)(2)(i)(D) and 3-04(b)(2)(ii) of the PPB rules. DCLA has determined that it is not practicable or advantageous to the City to use competitive sealed bidding or competitive sealed proposals because there is a limited number of vendors available and able to perform the work. In addition, there is a time sensitive situation where a vendor must be retained quickly because a compelling need for services exists that cannot be timely met through competitive sealed bidding or competitive sealed proposals. Please see attached justification memo for further details.
Description
LMCC will act as grant administrator of the SoHo/NoHo Arts Fund under DCLA's oversight. As specified in the Department of City Planning Zoning Resolution Article XIV Chapter 3, the SoHo/NoHo Arts Fund is intended to support arts programming, projects, organizations, and facilities that promote the public presence of the arts within the Special SoHo-NoHo Mixed Use District and surrounding neighborhood and extend the cultural legacy of SoHo and NoHo. Grants from the SoHo/NoHo Arts Fund will prioritize under-resourced organizations and under-served areas within Lower Manhattan neighborhoods south of 14th Street.
