Description

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Idaho Operations Office (ID) is soliciting the submission of proposals for field testing of technologies to reduce energy consumption, enhance economic competitiveness, and reduce environmental impacts, specifically in the Industries of the Future (IOF) industrial sectors. The objective of the solicitation is to find ways to mitigate the risk to industries of accepting and using emerging technologies developed by the IOF program. It is not the intent of DOE-ID to solicit research and development projects. This solicitation is commissioned on behalf of the DOE's Office of Industrial Technology (OIT) BestPractices Program, which has been established to provide integrated delivery of energy-saving products, services, and technologies to the nine IOF sectors. Additional information about the BestPractices Program can be found on the website (http://www.oit.doe.gov/bestpractices). The IOF industry-specific vision documents and technology roadmaps are available at http://www.oit.doe.gov/ under individual IOF program areas. The solicitation is accessable at the DOE "E-Center" solicitation web site at http://e-center.doe.gov/. DOE anticipates making approximately 3 to 5 cooperative agreement awards with total estimated DOE funding of up to $2 M, with no individual award for more than $600,000, and a timeframe of no more than three years. At least a 50% cost share will be required. The cooperative agreements will be awarded in accordance with DOE Financial Assistance Regulations, Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Chapter II Subchapter H, Part 600 (10 CFR 600). Award of a cooperative agreement under this solicitation does not commit the Government to fund any follow-on activities. Applications/proposals are due October 19, 2001, with awards expected to be made on or about January 15, 2002. Successful applicants will be required to submit quarterly, annual, and final reports to DOE and attend annual program review meetings. Any industrial company (a private for-profit or non-profit organization) that owns and operates an Industries of the Future (IOF) industrial facility where the technology will be field tested is eligible to apply, unless otherwise restricted by the Simpson-Craig Amendment. Applicants are encouraged to propose a teaming arrangement that includes technology developers (industry, university, and national laboratories), and a commercializing partner (i.e., equipment supplier, technology vendor, etc.).
