Opportunity Summary:
The 2013 Work Zone Safety Grants opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number DTFH61 13 RA 00019) was a discretionary Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) grant competition under the U.S. Department of Transportation. It was offered as a cooperative agreement, meaning FHWA expected to have substantial involvement with recipients during the period of performance rather than simply providing funds with minimal federal interaction. The purpose of the solicitation was to support projects that improve roadway work zone safety, specifically by building on work already completed under the existing Work Zone Safety Grants Program, rather than starting from scratch.
FHWA anticipated making up to 10 awards, with an estimated total funding level of $6,600,000. Individual awards were expected to range from a floor of $250,000 to a ceiling of $3,000,000, depending on the scope and quality of the proposed work. The funding falls under CFDA 20.200 (Highway Research and Development Program), placing it within the federal transportation research and development portfolio. Cost sharing or matching was required, so applicants needed to plan for non-federal contributions and document how that match would be met as part of their application strategy.
Eligibility was limited by statute. In line with Section 1409 of SAFETEA-LU (Public Law 109-59), only nonprofit or not-for-profit organizations could serve as the prime recipient. Examples referenced in the notice include trade associations and universities. State and local governments and for-profit organizations were explicitly not eligible to receive an award as the primary recipient, but they could still participate as subawardees or subcontractors under an eligible nonprofit lead. A key compliance point in the announcement was that applicants had to include verification demonstrating nonprofit or not-for-profit status; applications lacking that verification would not be evaluated or considered for award.
The opportunity timeline was short and clearly defined. The notice was posted July 19, 2013, with an application closing deadline of August 19, 2013 at 4:00 PM local time (and that deadline did not change). The opportunity was later archived on October 4, 2013. For applicants who could not access the full announcement electronically, FHWA provided a direct contact: Rick Murray, Agreement Officer, at (202) 366-4250 or rick.murray@dot.gov.
