Opportunity Summary:
The Southern Plains Tribal Technical Assistance Program (TTAP) Center opportunity is a Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) discretionary funding announcement to select one organization to operate a regional TTAP Center serving American Indian tribal governments in Oklahoma, Texas, southern Nebraska, and Kansas. The award is structured as a cooperative agreement, which means the selected recipient would not simply receive funds and work independently; instead, they would be expected to coordinate closely with FHWA in carrying out the program and delivering the services described in the announcement. The TTAP program is presented as a joint effort between FHWA and the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA), and it functions as the tribal component of FHWA's broader Local Technical Assistance Program (LTAP), which is designed to move practical transportation knowledge into the hands of local and tribal practitioners.
At its core, the purpose of the Southern Plains TTAP Center is transportation technology transfer and capacity-building for tribes in the covered region. The recipient would provide training, technical assistance, and related support aimed at improving how tribal transportation programs plan, build, operate, and maintain transportation systems. The announcement emphasizes that center activities should focus on transferring technical and program information that originates largely from FHWA and BIA, but also from state departments of transportation, tribal departments of transportation, tribal governments themselves, and the Intertribal Transportation Association. In practice, this points to a role that includes collecting, packaging, and delivering best practices and guidance, helping tribes understand and apply federal and state transportation standards and programs, and acting as a regional hub that connects tribal transportation staff with relevant expertise, resources, and peer networks.
From a funding and administrative standpoint, FHWA anticipated making a single award with an estimated total funding amount of $1,500,000, with the stated award ceiling also at $1,500,000 and no minimum award floor specified. The listing indicates there is no cost sharing or matching requirement. The opportunity falls under CFDA 20.200 (Highway Research and Development Program) and is categorized under transportation. Eligibility is described as "unrestricted" (open to any type of entity), subject to any clarifications contained in the full notice, which generally suggests a wide range of potential applicants could compete so long as they can credibly operate a regional technical assistance center and meet the program expectations.
Key dates in the notice show it was posted March 21, 2012, with an application closing date of April 23, 2012, at 4:00 PM Eastern Time, and an archive date of May 23, 2012. The funding opportunity number is DTFH61 12 RA 00008, and the title is Southern Plains Tribal Technical Assistance Program (TTAP) Center. Applicants were directed to an additional information link on Grants.gov, and a named FHWA contract specialist contact was provided for access issues: Eric Robinson, 202-366-5507, eric.robinson@dot.gov.
