Opportunity Summary:
The FY 10 Security Rail Risk Management System (RCRMS) grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number FR SEC 10 004) was a discretionary grant offered by the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT), Federal Railroad Administration (FRA), under the Railroad Safety CFDA program (20.301). Its purpose was to support the development, ongoing maintenance, and periodic updates of the Rail Corridor Risk Management System (RCRMS), a tool used to assist with rail corridor routing decisions for shipments involving PIH/TIH materials, meaning Poison Inhalation Hazard and Toxic Inhalation Hazard commodities. In practical terms, the work funded under this opportunity centered on keeping the RCRMS capability current and functional so that routing analyses and corridor risk considerations for hazardous materials could be performed using an up-to-date system.
This opportunity used the grant funding instrument and was categorized under the Transportation funding activity area. The maximum potential award amount (award ceiling) was listed as $250,000, and the minimum (award floor) was $0, indicating the agency could make an award up to that cap depending on the proposed scope and the government’s final determination. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, so the applicant was not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of award.
Eligibility for the funding was extremely limited. Although the general eligibility category was listed as "Others," the announcement clarified that only the Railroad Research Foundation was eligible to apply. This indicates the grant was effectively a single-eligible-applicant (or sole-eligible) competition, typically used when an agency has a specific, justified need for continuity of expertise, proprietary familiarity with an existing system, or an established organizational role tied to the program being supported.
Key dates show the announcement was posted and created on July 23, 2010, with an original and current closing date of September 15, 2010 (no changes or extensions were noted). The archive date was October 15, 2010, reflecting when the opportunity was expected to be moved into an archived status after the closeout of the application window.
