Opportunity Summary:
The Fiscal Year 2010 Buffer Zone Protection Program (BZPP) is a Department of Homeland Security (DHS), FEMA administered grant program designed to strengthen security and preparedness in the areas surrounding the nations highest priority critical infrastructure and key resource (CIKR) sites. The focus is on communities and jurisdictions that provide day to day safety and security around pre designated Tier 1 and Tier 2 assets, which are considered high risk or high consequence targets. Examples listed in the opportunity include chemical facilities, financial institutions, nuclear and electric power plants, dams, stadiums, and similar facilities where an incident could produce severe impacts. The program supports practical improvements by funding allowable planning activities and the acquisition of equipment intended to increase readiness, prevention, protection, and response capabilities in these buffer zones.
The opportunity is a mandatory grant competition identified as DHS 10 GPD 078 000 01 under CFDA 97.078 (Buffer Zone Protection Program). FEMA expected to make about 41 awards with an estimated total funding amount of 48,000,000. Individual awards could range from a floor of 200,000 to a ceiling of 6,900,000, and the program does not require cost sharing or matching funds, meaning recipients are not required to contribute a non federal match to access the award.
Eligibility is limited and structured through state level administration. The Governor of each state and territory must designate a State Administrative Agency (SAA) to apply for and manage the grant. Only the SAA is eligible to submit an application to FEMA and to administer any awarded funds, which typically means local jurisdictions and other stakeholders participate through the states process rather than applying directly to FEMA. Applicants are directed to follow the detailed submission rules and required contents laid out in the Fiscal Year 2010 BZPP Guidance and Application Kit, which governs how projects are proposed, documented, and submitted.
