The city of Aurora is looking at a software program to better track both the grants it receives, and the grants it awards to other agencies.
The city is considering spending $102,800 on a five-year subscription for grant management software called WebGrant.
Julie Frankino, the city’s grant writer, said the city chose Dulles’ WebGrant program from 17 proposals, whittled down to four finalists, that came through a bid process by Marketplace.city, Aurora’s third-party bid consultant. The five-year license would cost the city $50,000 in the first year, then $13,200 in the second through fifth years of the contract, she said.
Complying with grants and checking compliance for grants awarded has been handled individually by different departments, which is inefficient and prone to errors, Frankino said.When asked by Ald. Ron Woerman, at large, a Finance Committee member, if this could open up more grants to the city, Frankino said that is a potential outcome.
