For the purposes of this FOA, these places are referred to as Cities. This eligibility was made to maximize visibility of Federal investment in solar infrastructure given limited Federal resources and a 2015 timeframe for SAI success. Eligible Cities may form teaming arrangements with other cities in close geographical proximity including unincorporated places that are not eligible to apply on their own and cities with populations under 100,000. The eligible City, however, must apply as the prime recipient and DOE will provide its assistance only through that prime eligible City.

In accordance with 10 CFR 600.6(b), eligibility for award is restricted to the 243 incorporated places with populations of 100,000 or more as determined by the U.S. Census Bureau (2000 census) as defined at http://www.census.gov/population/cen2000/phc-t5/tab02.pdf. For the purposes of this FOA, these places are referred to as Cities. This eligibility was made to maximize visibility of Federal investment in solar infrastructure given limited Federal resources and a 2015 timeframe for SAI success. Eligible Cities may form teaming arrangements with other cities in close geographical proximity including unincorporated places that are not eligible to apply on their own and cities with populations less than 100,000. The eligible City, however, must apply as the prime recipient and DOE will provide its assistance only through that prime eligible City. Federally Funded Research and Development Centers (FFRDCs) are ineligible to apply or contribute to the Applicants proposed projects under this FOA. This Funding Opportunity Announcement is seeking to form strategic partnerships with U.S. cities as part of the U.S. Department of Energys (DOEs) SAI MT. These partnerships are intended to help accelerate the adoption of solar technology at the local level by engaging city governments, as important end users of energy, key intermediaries to other end users within their jurisdiction, and regulatory entities. It is critical that the city express a commitment to a city-wide approach to integration of solar energy into city planning and processes, as well as to large-scale implementation of solar technologies between now and 2015. Additionally, through SAI City Strategic Partnerships, DOE may provide tailored Technical Assistance to the Recipient to accomplish the project goals. The Technical Assistance provided to support the project will not be a part of the Cooperative Agreement. Technical Assistance described under this Notice will be provided via a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) between DOE, the organization selected to receive the Technical Assistance, and the Tiger Team members providing the Technical Assistance. A MOA is a collaborative agreement between the Federal Government and the Recipient to work together on a mutually beneficial activity. The MOA will detail the scope of the activities, the forms of collaboration, the responsibilities of the partners to the Agreement, and the treatment of any potential intellectual property. Under the MOA, each partner will perform its portion of the activities utilizing its own resources. Federal funding cannot be provided to a partner under a MOA. Applications for this Funding Opportunity Announcement must be accessed, completed, and submitted through Grants.gov at http://www.grants.gov to be considered for award.
