§ 42-11.4-3. Solicitations. (a) There shall be at least one open solicitation period each year to accept and consider new applications. Not less than twelve (12) weeks before the annual open solicitation period, the department of administration shall release the criteria upon which the applications shall be judged including, but not limited to, a minimum project readiness standard, overall spending targets by project type, preferences for projects that align with the state's prevailing economic development plan, and other preferences applying to that funding round. Grants may be made outside of the open solicitation period at the discretion of the director of administration subject to the provisions of this section. All grant awards shall be made after consultation with the Rhode Island statewide planning program and the Rhode Island infrastructure bank.
(b) An eligible city or town, acting by and through its municipal officers or by and through any agency designated by the municipal officers to act on their behalf, may apply to the program for a grant in a specific amount to fund a specified project. Two (2) or more municipalities may apply jointly, with one municipality acting as fiscal agent. The grants may be made in addition to other forms of local, state, and federal assistance. Receipt of a grant that is part of a joint application shall not preclude a municipality from receiving additional funds under a separate application.
