Opportunity Summary:
The FY10 Hoquiam Horn Spur Railroad Track Improvement Project, WA is a discretionary transportation grant opportunity administered by the U.S. Department of Transportation through the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA). The purpose of the funding is straightforward and operationally important: to keep freight rail service viable to businesses and industrial parcels located west of the Hoquiam River and along the Hoquiam Horn Spur line in Hoquiam, Washington. The project centers on work at the Hoquiam River Bridge, where the grantee is expected to replace, or arrange for the replacement of, the southern mid-river draw rest with a draw dolphin. In rail and marine terms, a draw rest is part of the bridge mechanism that supports the movable span when it is closed, while a draw dolphin is a protective and supportive structure in the water that helps guide vessels and shields bridge components from impacts. Replacing the existing draw rest with a draw dolphin is intended to preserve the bridge's functionality and protect critical infrastructure so rail access remains dependable for local commerce and industry.
This opportunity was offered under Funding Opportunity Number FR LRI 10 025 and is tied to CFDA 20.320, Rail Line Relocation and Improvement, which is commonly used for projects that improve rail infrastructure to enhance safety, reliability, and continuity of service. The award is structured as a grant with a cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning the recipient would need to contribute non-federal funds or in-kind resources according to the program's terms. The maximum potential federal award (the ceiling) was set at $350,000, and the minimum (the floor) was listed as $0, indicating that award amounts could vary up to the cap depending on the approved scope, budget, and federal determination.
Eligibility for this grant was narrowly limited. Only the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT), specifically its State Rail and Marine office, was eligible to apply. That restriction suggests the project was planned as a targeted investment with an identified implementing agency, rather than a broadly competitive solicitation open to multiple jurisdictions or private entities. The opportunity was posted and created on March 7, 2013, with an original and final application closing date of April 8, 2013, and it was archived on May 8, 2013. In practical terms, those dates show that the application window was about a month long and that the announcement is now historical rather than active.
For support related to accessing the full announcement or handling submission issues, the notice directed applicants to the GrantSolutions Help Desk, including phone numbers (1-866-577-0771 or 202-401-5282) and an email address (help@grantsolutions.gov), with stated weekday business hours in Eastern Time. Overall, the opportunity reflects a focused, infrastructure-preservation effort aimed at preventing disruption to rail service by addressing a specific bridge component on a line that serves industrial users on the west side of the Hoquiam River.
