If I could make a suggestion?  I agree with an earlier response that suggested that these types of manuals are highly specific to the organization.  That being said, may I suggest you google "preaward manual" and take a look at what shows up?  Several universities and hospitals actually post their manuals online.  It would at least give you a framework to go by....
