The program specifically targets businesses that are current on all applicable taxes, licenses, permits, in good standing with the State of Minnesota, and current on their utility accounts with the City of Mayer. Ineligible applicants include home-based or primarily residential businesses, churches, schools, or other similar institutions. The impact goal is to enhance the economic prosperity of the community through these business improvements.

The goal of the award is to provide logistical and administrative support to distinct rule of law, citizen security, and law enforcement projects in the Caribbean. The selected organization will work closely with designated project managers to determine implementation needs, arrange travel and coordinate training events in a timely and efficient manner. Goal 1: The goal of this project tis to deliver prompt and efficient programmatic, logistical, travel, and administrative services to support capacity building through INL/Caribbean programs in accordance with Federal regulations. The U.S. government estimates that a minimum of 200 people and up to approximately 600 people (although there is no maximum limit), as well as several law enforcement canines, will attend INL capacity-building events in an 18-month period through this solicitation. The number of participants per event can range from one-two to dozens. The events usually last anywhere from a few days to 6 months, but the average event is approximately one week. Proposals should include a cost estimate based on the administrative costs of organizational processing of plane tickets, lodging reservations, facilities rental, refreshments, bedding supplies, translation, electronic funds transfer, managing conferences and meetings, and other associated costs, which may include transport of training materials and canines. INL understands that costs are estimates and the applicant will not know what fluctuations may exist in pricing over the course of the project period. Therefore, estimates should not be based on individual plane tickets and meeting locations, for example, but rather on the administrative costs of processing participation in capacity-building/training events for participants.
