How applications are judged
FRA will give preference to: Projects where the Federal share of total project costs is 50 percent or less. Projects where the proposed non-Federal share is comprised of more than one source including private sources, demonstrated broad participation by affected stakeholders. Projects where the net benefits of the grant funds are maximized considering the benefit-cost analysis, including anticipated private and public benefits relative to the costs of the proposed project, and factoring in the other considerations described below. After applying the above preferences, FRA will take in account the key Departmental priorities. Other considerations include: the degree to which the proposed project�s business plan considers potential private sector participation in the financing, construction, or operation of the project.; the recipient�s past performance in developing and delivering similar projects, and previous financial contributions; whether the recipient has or will have the legal, financial, and technical capacity to carry out the proposed project; satisfactory continuing control over the use of the equipment or facilities; and the capability and willingness to maintain the equipment or facilities.
