Opportunity Summary:
The Beekman Creek Restoration Project (Funding Opportunity Number F14AS00438) is a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service notice of intent to make a single-source award, not a competitive grant solicitation. In practical terms, this posting is not inviting applications or proposals from the public. Instead, the agency is announcing its intention to issue one Cooperative Agreement to a specific organization, Friends of the Bay Inc., and is providing a short window for questions before the intended award moves forward.
The planned award falls under CFDA 15.658, Natural Resource Damage Assessment, Restoration and Implementation, and the work is categorized under Natural Resources. The purpose of the financial assistance is to support stream restoration activities along Beekman Creek. The restoration effort is tied directly to an existing planning and environmental review framework, specifically the 2014 Final Restoration Plan and Environmental Assessment Addendum for the Mattiace Petrochemical Site. That reference signals the project is part of a Natural Resource Damage Assessment-related restoration response associated with impacts from that site, with the proposed creek work serving as an implementation action consistent with the approved restoration plan.
This opportunity is explicitly described as a single expected award, with an estimated total funding amount of $42,200. The award floor and ceiling are both listed as $42,200, indicating the agency anticipated a fixed award amount rather than a range. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement stated, so the recipient would not be expected to provide a formal non-federal match as a condition of the award, based on the information provided.
Although the listing shows "Eligible Applicants: Unrestricted," the accompanying eligibility language clarifies that this is not actually open for applications because it is not being competed. The agency cites Departmental Manual 505 DM 2, paragraph 2.14(B)(4), as the basis for not competing the award, and notes that the decision to use this non-competitive approach is within the government’s discretion. The posting functions mainly as public notice and a point of contact rather than a full program announcement.
Key dates show the notice was posted and created on September 12, 2014, with questions requested no later than September 18, 2014 (the same date listed as the original and current closing date). The archive date is September 19, 2014. Anyone seeking clarification was directed to contact Artela Jacobs at the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service by phone at (404) 679-7197 or by email at artelajacobs@fws.gov (also shown as ArtelaJacobs@fws.gov in the contact block). The listing also points to Grants.gov as the additional information link, though it emphasizes there is no full announcement associated with this notice.
