Opportunity Summary:
The National Work Zone Safety Information Clearinghouse (NWZSIC) grant opportunity is a U.S. Department of Transportation, Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) discretionary funding announcement intended to support the continued operation and activities of the National Work Zone Safety Information Clearinghouse. FHWA is seeking an application that will lead to a cooperative agreement, meaning the agency expects to have substantial involvement with the recipient during the performance of the work rather than simply providing funds and stepping back. The overall purpose is to maintain and advance a centralized clearinghouse focused on work zone safety information, which typically includes collecting, organizing, and disseminating resources that help transportation agencies, contractors, and other stakeholders improve safety and reduce risks in roadway work zones.
This opportunity is identified by Funding Opportunity Number DTFH61 13 RA 00020 under the title "National Work Zone Safety Information Clearinghouse." It falls under the Transportation activity category and is associated with CFDA number 20.200, Highway Research and Development Program. FHWA anticipated making a single award (Expected Awards: 1), reflecting that the program support was structured as one cooperative agreement rather than multiple competitive grants. The announcement explicitly states there is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient would not be required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of the award.
Funding for the cooperative agreement was estimated at a total of $1,840,000, which also served as the award ceiling. The award floor was listed as $920,000, indicating the anticipated award amount would fall somewhere between $920,000 and $1,840,000, with the maximum not exceeding $1,840,000. Because this is a cooperative agreement, FHWA likely planned to provide direction, coordination, or technical input as the clearinghouse work proceeds, consistent with the nature of cooperative instruments used for projects where federal participation is expected to be active.
Eligibility for this opportunity was not open competition. The notice specifies it is a sole source requirement with eligibility limited to the American Road and Transportation Builders Association (ARTBA). In other words, FHWA intended to fund ARTBA specifically for this clearinghouse support, and other organizations were not eligible to apply. The opportunity was posted on August 7, 2013, created on August 20, 2013, and had an original closing date of August 21, 2013, later extended to a current closing date of August 23, 2013, reflecting a very short application window consistent with a sole-source action.
