DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE 

Forest Service 

Request for Proposals for 2011 Woody 

Biomass Utilization Grant Program 

AGENCY: Forest Service, USDA. 

ACTION: Request for proposals. 

SUMMARY: The Forest Service, U.S. 

Department of Agriculture, State and 

Private Forestry, Technology Marketing 

Unit, located at the Forest Products 

Laboratory, requests proposals for wood 

energy projects that require engineering 

services. These projects will use woody 

biomass material removed from forest 

restoration activities, such as wildfire 

hazardous fuel treatments, insect and 

disease mitigation, forest management 

due to catastrophic weather events, and/ 

or thinning overstocked stands. The 

woody biomass shall be used in a 

bioenergy facility that uses 

commercially proven technologies to 

produce thermal, electrical, or liquid/ 

gaseous bioenergy. The funds from the 

Woody Biomass Utilization Grant 

program (WBU) must be used to further 

the planning of such facilities by 

funding the engineering services 

necessary for final design and cost 

analysis. Examples of such projects 

include engineering design of a (1) 

woody biomass boiler for steam at a 

sawmill, (2) non-pressurized hot water 

system for various applications at a 

hospital or school, and (3) biomass 

power generation facility, or similar 

facilities. This program is aimed at 

helping applicants complete the 

necessary design work needed to secure 

public and/or private investment for 

construction. In particular, USDA Rural 

Development has established grants and 

loan programs that might help fund 

construction of such facilities. However, 

engineering design must be completed 

prior to submitting an application to 

this and other Federal, State, or private 

funding sources. 

DATES: Tuesday, March 1, 2011. 

ADDRESSES: All applications must be 

sent to the respective Forest Service 

Regional Office listed below for initial 

review. These offices will be the point 

of contact for final awards.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: To 

address the goals of Public Law 110– 

234, Food, Conservation, and Energy 

Act of 2008, Rural Revitalization 

Technologies (7 U.S.C. 6601), and the 

anticipated Department of the Interior, 

Environment, and Related Agencies 

Appropriation Act of 2011, the Agency 

is requesting proposals to address the 

nationwide challenge of using low-value 

woody biomass material to create 

renewable energy. 

Goals of the grant program are: 

• Promote projects that target and 

help remove economic and market 

barriers to using woody biomass for 

renewable energy. 

• Assist projects that produce 

renewable energy from woody biomass. 

• Reduce forest management costs by 

increasing the value of biomass and 

other forest products generated from 

hazardous fuels reduction and forest 

health activities on forested lands. 

• Create incentives and/or reduce 

business risk to increase use of woody 

biomass from our nation’s forestlands 

for renewable energy projects.

impacts sufficient to meet regulatory 

requirements, developmental costs, 

capital investment costs, operational 

costs, projected income, estimated 

accuracy of these costs and income 

projections, realistic sensitivity analysis 

with clear and explicit assumptions,

the assessment should address the 

following items: 

• Feedstock location and 

procurement area relative to the project 

site; 

• Types of biomass fuel available and 

realistic pricing information based on 

fuel specifications required by the 

technology chosen, including explicit 

break-out of forest-sourced, agriculturalsourced and urban-sourced biomass; 

• Volume potentially available by

biomass supply, considering recovery 

rates and other factors, such as Federal, 

State, and local policy and management 

practices; 

• Volume realistically and 

economically available by ownership, 

fuel type, and source of biomass supply, 

considering recovery rates and other 

factors, such as Federal, State, and local 

policy and management practices; 

• Detailed risk assessment of future 

biomass fuel supply including, but not 

limited to, impacts of potential Federal, 

State, and local policy changes, 

availability of additional fuel types, 

increased competition for biomass 

resource supply, and changes in 

transportation costs; 

• Summary of total fuel realistically 

and economically available versus 

projected annual fuel use (i.e. a ratio 

usually exceeding 2.0:1); and 

• Minimum 5-year biomass fuel 

pricing forecast for material or blend of

projects based on technical and 

financial merit and regional/national 

priorities. 

5. Evaluation Criteria and Point System 

If a reviewer determines that a 

proposal meets minimum requirements 

for a criterion, half the number of points
