Opportunity Summary:
The Clearfield Cluster Pennsylvania Highway Grade Crossing Project was a discretionary federal grant opportunity administered by the U.S. Department of Transportation, Federal Railroad Administration (FRA), under CFDA 20.314 (Railroad Development). The purpose of the grant was to support rail safety and infrastructure improvements in Pennsylvania by funding two core scopes of work: rehabilitation of 17 highway-rail grade crossings and surfacing improvements over 7.6 miles of railroad track. In practical terms, the crossing rehabilitation component would typically address roadway-rail interface conditions and related safety and operational issues at each crossing location, while the rail surfacing work would focus on restoring track geometry and ride quality over the identified mileage to improve reliability and reduce maintenance and safety risks.
Funding was offered in the form of a grant with an award ceiling of $1,001,475 and no stated minimum award amount (award floor listed as $0). The opportunity carried a cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning the recipient would be expected to contribute non-federal funds or allowable in-kind resources according to the terms set by the program and award conditions. While the general eligible applicant category was listed broadly, the announcement explicitly limited eligibility to a single applicant: the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT). This indicates the grant was structured as a targeted or project-specific funding action rather than an open competition among multiple state or local entities.
Key dates for the opportunity show it was posted and created on February 3, 2011, with an original and current closing date of March 2, 2011, and an archive date of April 1, 2011. Applicants needing help accessing the announcement were directed to the GrantSolutions Help Desk (1-866-577-0771, Help@GrantSolutions.gov) during standard weekday business hours (9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Eastern).
