Opportunity Summary:
The FY 2010 Rail Line Relocation Earmark - Rail Safety Improvements, Tualatin, OR (Funding Opportunity Number: FR LRI 10 008) is a discretionary grant opportunity administered by the U.S. Department of Transportation, Federal Railroad Administration (FRA), under CFDA 20.320, Rail Line Relocation and Improvement. The project focus is localized rail safety work in Tualatin and Washington County, Oregon, tied to an earmarked federal allocation intended to support improvements at public rail crossings.
The stated purpose of the overall Rail Safety Improvements project is to eliminate noise associated with commuter and freight trains sounding their horns as they travel through a corridor with eight adjacent public grade crossings in Tualatin and Washington County. In practice, this kind of objective is typically pursued by implementing safety measures that allow for quieter operations at crossings, such as improvements that support reduced reliance on train horns while maintaining or enhancing safety for motorists and pedestrians. This specific earmark, however, is described as being used to partially fund safety improvements at one location in particular: the Avery Street crossing in Tualatin, which is one of the eight crossings included in the broader corridor effort.
The total federal funding amount available under this announcement is $250,000, which also serves as the award ceiling, with an award floor of $0. The announcement indicates that cost sharing or matching is required, meaning the federal funds are not intended to cover 100% of project costs and the recipient must provide a non-federal share consistent with program and award requirements. The funding instrument is a grant, and the activity category is transportation.
Eligibility is narrowly limited. Although the listing references "Others" and includes public and state-controlled institutions of higher education as categories, the eligibility information explicitly states that only the Tri-County Metropolitan Transportation District of Oregon may apply. This makes the opportunity effectively a directed earmark award rather than an open competition among multiple applicants.
Key dates show the opportunity was posted and created on August 26, 2010, with an original and current closing date of September 3, 2010, and an archive date of October 3, 2010. This indicates a short application window typical of earmark-related announcements intended for a specific recipient with a defined project scope.
