Proof: in a county role, Hisham wrote $6.5 million in successful violence prevention proposals. See the record

Does this sound familiar?

  1. An award arrived. The work plan is due in 30 days.

  2. A subrecipient’s invoices and program reports do not reconcile.

  3. A board order needs a memorandum of understanding (MOU) and legal review before year-end.

  4. Staff need an intake or reporting tool that fits your IT process.

Questions

Common questions

Can you meet our procurement requirements?

Praxis reviews the solicitation or vendor checklist before proposing. Praxis can provide its W-9. Required registrations, endorsements, pricing format and contract terms must be resolved before award. Entity details are on the Contracting information page.

Is a sole-source contract possible?

Only if your agency’s rules and the circumstances permit it. Praxis can provide a defined scope, qualifications and a cost proposal. Your procurement and legal teams determine the appropriate competitive or noncompetitive route.

Will you work as a subcontractor?

Yes, subject to agreement with the prime contractor on responsibilities, confidentiality, records, deliverables and payment terms. Praxis checks applicable flow-down requirements before accepting the scope.

Can the engagement be remote?

Most drafting, reporting, finance coordination and systems work can be remote. Praxis agrees on meeting hours, secure access and any necessary on-site sessions or travel in the scope.

Who approves government agreements?

Your authorized officials, procurement staff and counsel. Praxis prepares drafts, exhibits, work plans and supporting materials and tracks the review process. Praxis does not provide a legal opinion.

Will you need to file a Form 700?

If your agency designates Praxis as a consultant who participates in governmental decisions, Hisham files a Statement of Economic Interests (Form 700) as your conflict-of-interest code requires.
