[OMS_MANAGERS] Executive Director Project Management Roles

[Darin Rutledge]

Hi, Tyler!

I think that probably depends on the nature of the project. In our case, our three awards have been related to renovation of existing buildings. Because the grant funded only part of the overall projects, we expected the property owner and/or their GC to manage all aspects related to the work, while we manage all aspects of the grant itself (submitting reports, requesting reimbursements, etc.). And to answer your question directly, I do not have a lead role in either function. Our design committee chair does the grant management for these grants. This is definitely not something our board wants our staff (me) to have on their plate.

I could see if a project were multiple façade improvements, for example, where the Main Street org may also act as construction/project lead if they had the capacity and skills to do so.

Good luck!

Hey everyone,

Hope you are all enjoying your Friday and are excited for the rain! A question has come up regarding the role an Executive Director would play in the day-to-day management of an OMS Grant Project. For example, do you as Executive Directors solicit bids, manage the contractors, and manage the construction itself, or is that something done by the property owner/contractor? I want to see what the best practices have been for each community, thanks!
