Forest Service
Request for Proposals: 2012 Hazardous Fuels Woody Biomass
Utilization Grant Program
AGENCY: Forest Service.
ACTION: Request for proposals.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Department of Agriculture (USDA), Forest Service, State
and Private Forestry (S&PF), Technology Marketing Unit, located at the
Forest Products Laboratory, request proposals for wood energy projects
that require engineering services. These projects will use woody
biomass, such as material removed from forest restoration activities,
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 Hazardous
Fuels 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
projects might
[[Page 5756]]
include engineering design of a (1) woody biomass boiler for steam at a
sawmill, hospital or school, (2) non-pressurized hot water system for
various applications, and (3) biomass power generation facility. To
join in support of the public interest and general welfare, to protect
communities and critical infrastructure, the applicants applying to
this program seek assistance to complete the necessary design work
required to secure public and/or private funding for construction for
developing local enterprises to better utilize woody biomass. In
particular, USDA Rural Development has established grants and loan
programs that might help fund construction of such facilities. The lack
of engineering design often limits the ability of an applicant or
business to receive Federal, State or private funding.
DATES: Thursday, March 1, 2012, Application Deadline.
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.
