- Description
- This is a Pre-Solicitation Notice for an upcoming full and open Request for Applications (RFA). This RFA will ONLY be released and available electronically at www.fedbizopps.gov and www.fedgrants.gov. Accordingly, NO telephone, fax or email requests will be accepted. Since the RFA will only be available electronically, it will be the responsibility of interested parties to monitor the FedBizOps and grants websites for any amendments. The ESTIMATED release date of the RFA is July 15, 2003. Applications will be due roughly 30 days after release of the RFA. Exact date and time of submission of Applications will appear in the RFA. The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) anticipates awarding four cooperative agreements as a result of this RFA to provide a Tribal Technical Assistance Center in four regions of the United States. Each award will support a separate region. The Regions are as follows: Northwest TTAP Center: Comprising the States of Washington, Oregon, Idaho, and Western Montana. Four Corners TTAP Center: Comprising the States of Colorado, Utah, Arizona and New Mexico. Northern Plains TTAP Center: Comprising the States of Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Wyoming and Northern Nebraska. Eastern TTAP Center: Comprising all States east of the Mississippi River and Minnesota. These cooperative agreements will be awarded as part of the Tribal Technical Assistance Program (TTAP), a cooperative effort between the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA). The objectives of the program are: (1) Transfer transportation technology to American Indian tribal governments through training, technical assistance, and information access; (2) Improve communication on technical transportation issues among FHWA, BIA, state DOTs, tribal governments, cities, counties, and metropolitan and regional transportation organizations, including Metropolitan Planning Organizations and Regional Planning Organizations; (3) Assist in developing and implementing new transportation technologies and administrative procedures at the tribal level; (4) Provide tribal governments with training and technical assistance in Public Law 93-638 contracting and self-governance compacts; (5) Provide training and technical assistance in intergovernmental transportation planning, recreational travel and tourism, and related economic development; and (6) Provide ongoing contact and communication with tribal staffs and elected officials. FUNDING: Total Federal funds for each TTAP Center, subject to availability, are estimated to be $1,400,000 over five years.
