GENERAL QUESTIONS

Question 1: I just wanted to clarify that I’m understanding this grant opportunity. NHTSA is looking to award just a single entity with this funding? Our Tribe thought we might be able to apply for sidewalk (pedestrian) engineering designs. Is that something that would be considered “eligible” or “allowable” under this funding? I see a lot of information in the NOFO about policies/procedures, and deliverables around guideline advisory manuals, process manuals, and assessments. We’re also looking possibly hiring technical assistance consultants to assist in developing and updating our road safety plan and accident data collections methods.

NHTSA Response 1:

As stated in NOFO B.2 FUNDING AND TYPE OF AWARD:

A total of up to $507,000.00 is available to fund up to one (1) discretionary Cooperative Agreement and is subject to the availability of funds. NHTSA will only accept one (1) application from each eligible applicant (see Section C.1, Eligible Applicants).

Submission of an application is not a guarantee of award. Submission of an application is not a guarantee of award. The Government’s obligations under this Cooperative Agreement are contingent upon the availability of appropriated funds from which payment for Cooperative Agreement purposes can be made. No legal liability on the part of the Government for any payment may arise until funds are made available.

As stated in NOFO D.2 CONTENT AND FORM OF APPLICATION SUBMISSION:

Technical Application: The application shall fully describe the scope of the project, providing a project plan detailing the activities and costs for which funding is being requested.

As stated in NOFO E.2 REVIEW AND SELECTION PROCESS

Each application package will be reviewed initially to confirm that the applicant meets the eligibility requirements as set forth in Section C.1, Eligible Applicants, and has included all items specified in Section D.2, Content and Form of Application Submission. A Technical Evaluation Committee (TEC) will then review each completed application that meets the eligibility requirements and provide recommendations for award.

No other questions were received. Therefore, no revision to Notice of Funding Opportunity 693JJ923R000089 will be issued.
