Opportunity Summary:
The American River Floodplain and Side Channel Restoration Project (Funding Opportunity Number AFRP 1002) is a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) discretionary grant opportunity offered through a cooperative agreement under CFDA 15.648, the Central Valley Project Improvement (CVPI) Anadromous Fish Restoration Program (AFRP). The announcement is structured as a Notice of Intent to make an award rather than a typical open competition. In practical terms, USFWS is signaling that it plans to issue a single-source cooperative agreement to a specific partner, the Sacramento Region Water Forum, under the authority of Section 3407(e) of the Central Valley Project Improvement Act (CVPIA).
The purpose of the project is habitat restoration on the lower American River, with a strong fisheries and ecosystem focus. USFWS and the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation have been working with the Water Forum to improve spawning and rearing conditions for Central Valley fall-run Chinook salmon and Central Valley steelhead. The restoration emphasis is on floodplain and side channel features, which are widely recognized as important components of functional river habitat because they can provide slower-water refuges, improved juvenile rearing conditions, and better access to food resources compared to the main channel during certain flow conditions. The work described is connected to and funded through the CVPIA Section 3406(b)(13) spawning gravel program, indicating that a key element of the broader effort includes improving gravel and related channel conditions that influence spawning success.
Funding for this opportunity is fixed at an estimated total of $149,000, with an award ceiling and floor both set at $149,000, and the agency expects to make one award. A cost share or matching contribution is required, meaning the recipient is expected to contribute non-federal and/or other eligible resources toward the overall project costs consistent with the terms of the cooperative agreement. Because the funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, USFWS anticipates substantial involvement in the work beyond what is typical for a standard grant, such as collaboration on project design, implementation, monitoring, or reporting.
The opportunity was posted and created on March 29, 2010, with an original and current closing date of April 5, 2010, and it was archived on May 5, 2010. Eligibility is listed under a broad category ("Others"), but the notice clarifies that it is specifically a Notice of Intent to award, and the narrative explicitly identifies the Sacramento Region Water Forum as the intended recipient, reinforcing that this is not a broadly open solicitation.
For applicants or interested parties seeking the full official announcement, the posting instructs users to access the "Application" tab on the funding page and download the "Application Instructions" and "Application Package" (additional required forms). For help obtaining the announcement electronically, the listed contact is Dwight (Ike) Luginbill, Grants/Agreements Assistant at the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, reachable by phone at 209-946-6400 extension 340.
