- Description
- This notice is for information purposes only. A program solicitation to potentially award multiple financial assistance grants is underway. It is the intent of the National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL), to conduct a competitive program solicitation, DE-PS26-02NT15379, and award financial assistance (Grants) for the program entitled, "Applications of Petroleum Technologies on Native American and Alaskan Native Corporation Properties for the Benefit of the Entire Tribe/Native Corporation." Applicants are advised that the submission of proposals in an electronic format will be required utilizing the Industry Interactive Procurement System (IIPS) through the Internet at http://e-center.doe.gov. The DOE/NETL is seeking applications on behalf of the National Petroleum Technology Office, for support of projects consistent with applied research for development, exploration, processing and environmental solutions for oil production problems on Native American and Alaskan Native Corporation lands, thereby commonly benefitting the Tribe or Corporation. This program is directed toward creating cooperative efforts between the Tribes or Corporations and the oil industry. The DOE supports modern petroleum technologies on Native American and Alaskan Native Corporation lands which are both economically and environmentally viable. For a number of reasons, many areas on Native American and Alaskan Native Corporation lands are under explored and consequently have underdeveloped oil reserves. This program is directed toward creating cooperative efforts between the Tribes or Corporations and the oil industry. The four areas of interest for the technical topics of this solicitation are: 1) Development Program 2) Exploration Program 3) Environmental Program 4) Oil Processing Program Proposed efforts must incorporate innovative technologies to improve the development of a known oil field, to promote exploration of undiscovered oil reserves, to study viable solutions to evaluate and minimize the environmental impact of oil processing construction/operation or to reduce the cost of effective environmental oil and gas field compliance. This solicitation will fit into the overall mission of NETL by furthering to resolve the environmental, supply and reliability constraints of producing and using fossil energy resources to provide Americans with a stronger economy, healthier environment and more secure future. Reserves and production are expected to increase as well as potential for facilitating a cleaner environment and a strong potential to increase processing capacity. The benefits are far-reaching to U.S. citizens, Native American Tribes, Alaskan Native Corporations and the U.S. Government by promoting a stronger economy, healthier environment and more secure future. This solicitation is a follow-on to a 1999 Native American Solicitation. The program solicitation will be available on the IIPS website at http://e-center.doe.gov on or about December 10, 2001. DOE anticipates issuing approximately two to five financial assistance (grant) awards with a project performance period no less than one year in length and up to two years in length. Approximately $1.2 million of DOE funding is planned for this solicitation. DOE has determined the minimum cost share of twenty percent (20%) of the total estimated project cost is required; details of the cost sharing requirement and the specific funding levels will be contained in the program solicitation. This solicitation will be targeted for unrestricted competition however, all potential offerors must provide a letter of commitment for the project from the Native American Tribe's governing body or from the governing body of an Alaskan Native Corporation (more information will be provided in the solicitation). Applications submitted by or on behalf of 1) another Federal agency; 2) a Federally Funded Research and Development Center sponsored by another Federal agency; or 3) a Department of Energy (DOE) Management Operating (M&O) contractor will not be eligible for award under this solicitation. However, an application that includes performance of a portion of the work by a DOE M&O contractor will be evaluated and may be considered for award subject to the provisions to be set forth in Program Solicitation DE-PS26-02NT15379 (NOTE: The limit on participation by an M&O contractor for an individual project under this solicitation cannot exceed 20% of the total project cost). Interested parties are advised that availability of this program solicitation is limited to this electronic medium and distribution will not be made via diskette nor in paper copy. All communications concerning the program solicitation shall be made through the IIPS system under the program solicitation number DE-PS26-02NT15379.
