SUMMARY: The Legal Services Corporation (LSC or Corporation) is the
national organization charged with administering federal funds provided

requiring LSC to utilize a system of competitive bidding for the award
of grants and contracts.
The Corporation hereby announces that it is reopening competition
for 1999 competitive grant funds and is soliciting grant proposals from
interested parties who are qualified to provide effective, efficient
and high quality civil legal services to the eligible client population
in service areas CO-2, NCO-1 and MCO in Colorado. Two grant terms will
be funded. The tentative date of the first grant term is as early as
July 1, 1999 through December 31, 1999 (six months). The tentative
grant amounts for the first grant term are $446,752 for Basic Field-
General (CO-2), $62,802 for Basic Field-Migrant (MCO), and $12,047 for
Basic Field-Native American (NCO-1). The second grant term is for
calendar year 2000 (twelve months). The exact amount of congressionally
appropriated funds and the date and terms of their availability for
calendar year 2000 are not known, although it is anticipated that the
