Opportunity Summary:
The Rail Line Relocation Earmark Grant 2009-2010 for the Transbay Transit Center Preconstruction Utility Relocation (Funding Opportunity Number FR-LRI-10-010) was a discretionary, DOT/Federal Railroad Administration grant opportunity under CFDA 20.320, Rail Line Relocation and Improvement. It was posted and created on September 29, 2010, with an application deadline of October 29, 2010, and it later moved into archive status on November 28, 2010. The grant was tied to a specific earmarked rail-line-relocation related effort supporting the larger Transbay Transit Center program in San Francisco, with the goal of clearing and reconfiguring utilities so that critical rail infrastructure elements could be built.
The project scope described in the announcement focused on a utility relocation and removal package along Natoma Street, directly next to the new Transbay Transit Center building site. The overall project value cited was $11.8 million and included deactivation and demolition of existing water, sewer, and gas lines along Natoma Street. After those lines were removed, the work would install new utility connections: new water connections on the west end of Natoma Street, and new water and sewer connections on the east end. This sequence of demolishing, removing, and rebuilding utility connections was presented as necessary preconstruction work to accommodate construction of the Transit Center's train box throat structure, meaning the portion of the underground rail "train box" where tracks transition and fan in/out, which requires unobstructed subsurface space and carefully coordinated utility layouts.
Financially, the opportunity listed an award ceiling of $2,650,000 and an award floor of $0, and it required cost sharing or matching, indicating the federal funds were intended to cover only part of the total preconstruction utility relocation costs. The funding instrument type was a grant, and the activity category was transportation, aligning with the FRA's Rail Line Relocation and Improvement program purpose of facilitating rail-related projects that often require moving or modifying infrastructure to enable safer or more efficient rail operations and construction.
Eligibility was narrowly restricted. The announcement stated that only the Transbay Joint Powers Authority was eligible to apply, which makes it a single-eligible-applicant, project-specific opportunity rather than a broadly competitive program open to many public agencies. For access issues or support with the electronic announcement, the notice directed applicants to the GrantSolutions Help Desk, providing phone numbers and an email contact, reflecting the standard federal grants administration pathway used at the time.
