Urgent: PY 2022 Community Development OCEAN Application Fixes
OCD is aware of several issues related to uploading documents in the Allocation, Critical Infrastructure, and Neighborhood Revitalization applications in OCEAN. OCD has prepared guidance below for workarounds to these errors, but grantees should also utilize the attachment checklist that is included with the application documents on the Technical Assistance site here to ensure they are submitting a complete application.
Allocation
Problem: The Program Narrative attachment type is missing from the drop-down in the Grant Request Documents tab
Solution: Grantees should upload the Program Narrative as an Other Additional Document
Problem: Required Force Account Labor validation error
Solution: If grantee will not be utilizing Force Account Labor, upload blank form to remove error
Neighborhood Revitalization
Problem: Grantees might see new validation errors for attachments already uploaded
Solution: Grantees should upload a blank form to clear the validation error (please double check the checklist for completeness).
Critical Infrastructure
Problem: Project-specific attachments aren’t able to be uploaded via the construction project, only the Administration project; the project is missing from the attachments drop-down for each project-specific attachment.
Solution: Attachments can be uploaded under the Administration project to remove the validation error for each required project-specific document.
Problem: Four separate cost estimate types now appear in the attachment drop-down menu.
Solution: Grantees should utilize the first cost estimate shown in the drop-down menu; OCD is working to remove the invalid options. If a validation error occurs, grantees should upload a blank form to remove the error.
