Opportunity Summary:
The FY14 Supplemental to the Moynihan Station Redevelopment Project (Funding Opportunity Number FR RLD 14 002) was a discretionary U.S. Department of Transportation grant administered by the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) under CFDA 20.314, Railroad Development. It was offered as a cooperative agreement, meaning the federal government anticipated an ongoing role in project oversight or coordination rather than simply issuing a check and stepping back. The purpose of the funding was tightly focused: to support the Moynihan Station Project, a major transportation and civic redevelopment effort intended to expand passenger capacity and reduce long-standing operational problems at New York Penn Station.
At the center of the project was the plan to redevelop the James A. Farley Building and its Western Annex, located across Eighth Avenue from the existing Penn Station complex, into a new intermodal transportation facility to be known as the Daniel Patrick Moynihan Station. In practical terms, the grant was meant to help transform the Farley complex into a modern hub that could better handle passenger flows, improve connectivity between transportation modes, and relieve pressure on Penn Station by shifting some station functions and passenger circulation into a purpose-built space nearby. The overall goal, as described in the announcement, was increased capacity and improved operations in one of the most heavily used rail environments in the country.
The opportunity had an award ceiling of $16,000,000 and no stated award floor, and it required cost sharing or matching, indicating the recipient needed to contribute non-federal funds or other eligible match resources alongside the federal award. Eligibility was extremely limited: only the Moynihan Station Development Corporation was allowed to apply. This made the opportunity function less like an open competition and more like a targeted supplemental award intended to advance a specific, named project sponsor and a specific redevelopment initiative.
Timing was also very compressed. The opportunity was posted and created on August 4, 2014, with an original and current closing date of August 6, 2014, and it was later archived on September 5, 2014. Anyone needing help accessing the full announcement electronically was directed to the GrantSolutions Help Desk (help@grantsolutions.gov, 1-866-577-0771 or 202-401-5282), available Monday through Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Eastern Time.
