Opportunity Summary:
The "Assessing Haywired Scenario" opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number USGS 16 FA 0318) is a discretionary funding notice from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), within the Department of the Interior. It is issued as a Notice of Intent to Award, which typically signals that the agency plans to make an award to a specific recipient or a very limited pool of recipients rather than running a wide, competitive solicitation. The opportunity is administered as a cooperative agreement, meaning the USGS expects to have substantial involvement in the work as it is carried out, such as coordinating technical direction, collaboration, or shared responsibilities during project implementation. The activity category is Natural Resources, and the listing is associated with CFDA 15.808.
Funding is capped at an award ceiling of $50,000, and the USGS indicates it expects to make one award under this notice. Eligibility is limited to special district governments, which generally refers to units of local government created for a particular function (for example, water, flood control, or similar public-purpose districts). The posting date (creation date) is July 7, 2016, and the original closing date is July 21, 2016, indicating a short window that is consistent with intent-to-award style announcements where the recipient may already be identified or where only a narrow group is expected to respond.
Based on the title, the project is focused on assessing the "HayWired Scenario," a well-known earthquake scenario developed for California that examines cascading impacts and recovery issues associated with a major Hayward Fault event, including infrastructure disruption and secondary hazards. While the notice text provided does not include a detailed statement of work, the framing strongly suggests the funded effort would contribute analysis, data collection, modeling, planning support, or interagency coordination tied to understanding consequences and improving readiness related to that scenario.
