VII. Required Information/Documents to Qualify for Grant Award: • Business License • Certificate of Occupancy • Bank Statements for February 2020 and May 2020 (additional bank statements may be requested) • Statement showing planned use of funds • Employee list as of February 2020 and Employee list as of May 2020 VIII. Project Expectations: The CONTRACTOR will implement a rapid deployment small business grant program to address the challenges faced by small enterprises located in the CITY. The CONTRACTOR will: 1. Work with the CITY, the Orange County Small Business Development Center, Santa Ana Chamber of Commerce, and other small business support organizations in the CITY to promote and market the program so that as many small business owners as possible throughout the CITY know about the program and are able to apply. 2. Develop and host a user friendly online application and affidavit for the grant program with a public link which will direct to an on-line application. The landing page for the application will describe the program and invite eligible applicants to apply. All application responses will be securely stored in an electronic file system, which will serve as a repository for all program documents, and available for CITY staff to view at any time. The online application system to be used is Submittable. 3. CONTRACTOR will develop a draft press release and a e-flyer for the program. 4. Online applications will be available in English, Spanish and Vietnamese. 5. Once grant inquiry applications are received, CONTRACTOR will determine the initial eligibility status of the business. CONTRACTOR will also check against lists (some of which the CITY will provide others will be provided by the CONTRACTOR) containing the data of ineligible businesses (i.e. previous funding as DI or City of Santa Ana grantees, businesses with active code violations) to confirm eligibility. Once approved for funding, grantees will enter the award phase whereby additional documents will be collected (ACH, W9, valid identification and Grant Agreement in DocuSign). 6. Once the grantee has completed all required documentation in the grant award process, underwriting will take place. CONTRACTOR Accounting Staff will work with City of Santa Ana staff to approve grantees and fund ACH payments. 7. Ineligible business grant applications will be notified of Ineligible status. 20
