Opportunity Summary:
The Tonkawa Truck Stop Access Improvements Project (Funding Opportunity Number A12AC00747) is a federal transportation-related grant opportunity administered by the Bureau of Indian Affairs. It was issued as an "Other" category funding opportunity and uses a Cooperative Agreement as the funding instrument, which typically means the federal agency expects to have substantial involvement during the execution of the project rather than providing a simple pass-through grant with minimal engagement. The stated purpose of the award is to support a specific highway improvement effort in Kay County, Oklahoma: the reconstruction and widening of US Highway 60, covering the segment running from Interstate 35 westward to NS 317. The project description emphasizes access improvements associated with the Tonkawa truck stop area, with the core construction work centered on rebuilding and expanding roadway capacity along that corridor.
This announcement is explicitly described as a sole source award, indicating the agency intends to make one targeted award rather than run a broad, competitive selection among multiple applicants. Consistent with that approach, the opportunity lists an expected number of awards of 1 and identifies eligible applicants as county governments, which points to a local governmental entity (or a specific county government) being the intended recipient. The total estimated funding amount for the award is $750,000, and the program is tied to CFDA 20.205, Highway Planning and Construction, a well-known federal assistance listing associated with surface transportation improvements.
The opportunity includes a cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning the recipient would be expected to contribute a portion of the project costs from non-federal sources or otherwise meet a defined match level under the applicable program rules and agreement terms. Key dates show it was posted and created on March 16, 2012, with an original and current closing date of June 18, 2012, and an archive date of July 18, 2012, signaling that it was a time-limited opportunity and is now historical/archived.
For questions or assistance accessing the full announcement, the listed point of contact is Vanessa Vance, Grants Management (Grant Specialist), reachable by phone at 405-247-5010.
