DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Notice of Availability of Solicitation

AGENCY: Idaho Operations Office,

Department of Energy.

ACTION: Notice of availability of

solicitation-alternate fuel vehicle user

infrastructure.

SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of

Energy (DOE), Idaho Operations Office

(ID), is seeking applications from

interested parties to develop and deploy

cost-shared alternative fuel

infrastructure projects in any of the six

Federal Alternate Fuel Vehicle (AFV)

USER Program Metropolitan Statistical

Area (MSA’s) (cities). The six MSA’s are

San Francisco, CA, Denver, CO,

Albuquerque, NM, Minneapolis, MN,

Salt Lake City, UT, and MelborneTitusville, FL. The proposing teams

must have the ability to deploy

alternative fuel infrastructure projects,

in one or more, of the six MSAs,

primarily for the use of alternate fuel

vehicles in federal fleets; and secondly

for state and local government fleets,

commercial fleets, and alternative fuel

vehicles owned and operated by the

public. These projects will aid in the

removal of the ‘‘infrastructure

availability’’ barrier to alternative fuel

use, thereby supporting the

marketability of alternative fuel

vehicles. Projects that are already built

do not qualify for this grant. The

expected issuance date of Solicitation

No. DE-PS07–00ID13951, is June 22,

2000. The solicitation will be available

in its full text via the Internet at the

following URL: http://www.id.doe.gov/

DATES: The deadline for receipt of

applications will be August 24, 2000.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

statutory authority for this program is

Energy Policy Act of 1992 (Public Law

102–486 as amended by Public Law

anticipates making up to 6 awards with

a total estimated DOE funding of

$100,000 per award, each with a

duration of two years or less. Multipartner collaborations including Federal

Agencies and/or National Laboratories

are encouraged. Single organizations

will not be considered. As a minimum

each applicant’s team must include an

energy provider (i.e., electric utility,

natural gas utility, or other) as a

participant. This solicitation will

require a fifty per cent (50%) minimum

non-federal cost share. Federal Agencies

and/or National Laboratories will not be

eligible for an award under this

solicitation, except as a partner with

another, eligible primary applicant.

However, an application that includes

performance of a portion of the work by

a National Laboratory may be

considered for award provided the

applicant clearly identifies the unique

capabilities, facilities and or expertise

the Laboratory offers the primary

applicant. It is anticipated that the

following criteria will be considered in

the evaluation: (1) Suitability of

Alternative Fuel Infrastructure; (2) Level

of Project Detail provided; (3)

Experience of Team; (4) Costs.

Technical and non-technical questions

should be submitted in writing to
