BACKGROUND
The American Rescue Plan (ARP) Act of 2021 created new Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds. The Act sets aside $65.1 billion to be allocated to counties based on population and sent directly from the Department of Treasury. Gaston County has received the full allocation of $43,612,126. Pursuant to Section 13.2 of Chapter 159 of the General Statutes of North Carolina, the Gaston County Grant Project Ordinance 2021-264 for the Gaston County Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds was adopted in Regular Session by the Gaston County Board of Commissioners on September 28, 2021.
The sealed bid process was conducted in May 2023 for Mobile Shower and Laundry Facilities Trailer(s) - Bid #2023-002. The initiative offers a mobile one-stop-shop for unhoused and low-income populations to access social services, healthcare, housing, behavioral health, and other supportive services. It is organized by a collaborative network of nonprofit, government, and faith-based organizations who specialize in providing these services to homeless and low-income populations. Montondo Trailers was chosen as the most responsive and responsible bidder with a bid of $223,100.
