Category Explanation:
This Notice of Funding Opportunity announces available funding from the Office of Local Defense Community Cooperation under the Defense Community Infrastructure Program to assist state and local governments, and not-for-profit, member-owned utilities, in addressing deficiencies in community infrastructure supportive of a military installation. For purposes of the Defense Community Infrastructure Program, “Community Infrastructure” includes projects related to transportation; schools; hospitals; police, fire, or emergency response, or other community support facilities; utility projects (e.g., water, wastewater, telecommunications, electric and natural gas facilities); and demolition projects. The facility or project itself must be owned by a state or local government, or a not-for-profit, member-owned utility. The facility addressed in the proposal must not be located on a military installation unless it is on property under the jurisdiction of a military department that is also subject to a real estate agreement (including a lease or an easement) held by an eligible community. No award under this program may exceed $20 million or be less than $250,000. The Office of Local Defense Community Cooperation will determine the final amount of each award based on the recommendation of a Defense Community Infrastructure Program Review Panel, the availability of appropriations, and the provisions of Title 2 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Part 200 - Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (2 C.F.R. Part 200). Review of an invited grant application will include consideration of the reasonableness, allowability, and allocability of the proposed funding. Defense Community Infrastructure Program grants may supplement funds available under federal programs administered by agencies other than the Department of War (hereinafter “the Department”). Additionally, subject to statutory authority, the Office of Local Defense Community Cooperation may transfer funds to another federal agency for that agency’s award to state or local governments. School construction or renovation projects for a facility listed in the April 2019 “Secretary of Defense 2018 Public Schools on Military Installations Prioritized List” (and any future updates) are not eligible.
