Specifications include, but are not limited to: Per Section 6 (b) (2) of H. 966 of the 2020 Vermont Legislative Session, this funding shall be used to “make available to businesses, professional and technical assistance through qualified Recovery Navigators, including: (A) business operations, financial management, and grant writing; (B) digital strategies; (C) architecture and physical space design; (D) reconfiguring manufacturing equipment and processes and incorporating safety measures; (E) technology and software consulting; and (F) legal and other professional services.” 2.1. The program should provide businesses with free resources that can help them make significant changes to their business to overcome the impacts of COVID-19. As an example, a proposal might include free online retail platforms for businesses to expand their ability to sell goods during a stay home order, consulting services to a restaurant on how to redesign a kitchen or dining area for safe operations or increase the profitability of take-out service, marketing assistance to reach new customers, or new product development work to broaden a company’s viability during the crisis. Respondents are encouraged to develop plans to hire or contract the needed specialized providers and qualified technical expertise to assist these businesses. Proposals should include a detailed plan to quickly identify and deploy these experts
