Opportunity Summary:
The FY 2010 Rail Line Relocation and Improvement Program opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number FR-LRI-10-017) was a discretionary U.S. Department of Transportation, Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) grant announcement supporting a specific rail infrastructure project at the Port of Monroe and the surrounding industrial park in Monroe County, Michigan. The central purpose of the project was to restore and expand freight rail access in order to strengthen industrial operations and enable additional economic development in the area. In practical terms, the project aimed to re-establish rail service for an existing industrial tenant, Gerdau MACSTEEL, provide rail service for a new industrial tenant, Great Lakes Towers, LLC, and make rail service available to additional industrial acreage to support future tenants and growth.
This funding was offered as a cooperative agreement, which typically means the awarding agency expects to have substantial involvement in the project during performance (for example, coordination on milestones, oversight, compliance, or technical aspects) compared to a standard grant. The activity category was transportation, and the opportunity fell under CFDA (Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance) number 20.320, Rail Line Relocation and Improvement. The notice indicated a cost-sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient would have been expected to contribute non-federal funds or other eligible match resources as part of the overall project budget.
The maximum federal award amount listed was $500,000, with no stated minimum award floor (listed as $0). The opportunity was posted and created on October 14, 2011, with an original and current closing date of November 14, 2011, and it was later archived on December 14, 2011. Eligibility was narrowly limited: only the City of Monroe was eligible to apply, making this a targeted, single-applicant opportunity intended to fund a particular local rail service improvement effort rather than a broadly competitive national solicitation open to many jurisdictions.
For applicant support and access issues related to the full announcement materials, the posting directed users to the GrantSolutions Help Desk, including a toll-free phone number (1-866-577-0771), weekday operating hours (8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Eastern), and the email address help@grantsolutions.gov.
