Opportunity Summary:
The Bear Wallow Creek Fish Exclusion Structure Repair opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number F15AS00432) is a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service funding notice for a one-time award of $40,000 to repair an existing fish exclusion structure (also referred to as a fish barrier) located in Bear Wallow Creek in east-central Arizona. The work is tied directly to native trout conservation, specifically the Apache trout, which is one of only two trout species native to Arizona and is federally listed as threatened. The underlying conservation goal is to protect existing Apache trout populations by preventing nonnative trout from moving upstream into protected reaches, where they can prey on Apache trout or interbreed with them, leading to hybridization and loss of genetic integrity.
This notice is explicitly not a request for proposals (not an RFP) and is labeled as a single source award, meaning the agency intended to make one cooperative agreement award to a specific recipient rather than run an open competition among applicants. While the listing shows eligible applicants as "unrestricted," the repeated single-source language indicates that the award decision was not meant to be competed in the typical way. The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which generally indicates the agency expects substantial involvement in the project beyond what is typical in a standard grant, such as coordination, technical input, or oversight during planning and implementation.
The opportunity sits within the Environment and Natural Resources activity area and is associated with CFDA number 15.608, Fish and Wildlife Management Assistance. The anticipated number of awards was one, with an estimated total funding amount of $40,000. No cost sharing or matching requirement was listed. The award ceiling and floor were both shown as $0, which typically reflects that the agency did not specify competitive minimums or maximums in the posting, especially common in single-source notices where the amount is already stated in the description.
Key dates in the posting show it was posted and created on August 12, 2015, with an original and current closing date of August 21, 2015, and an archive date of September 12, 2015. The primary point of contact listed for access issues or questions was Sara Williams, reachable at saranwilliams@fws.gov.
