Opportunity Summary:
The CAFFEE CIRCLE PERIMETER ROAD SHORELINE STABILIZATION opportunity is a U.S. Navy grant-funded project run by the Naval Facilities Engineering Command (NAVFAC) focused on evaluating and designing a practical, cost-effective approach to restore and stabilize an eroding shoreline area associated with the Caffee Circle Perimeter Road. The core purpose of the award is to fund the early-phase investigative and design work needed to understand site conditions, identify constraints, and produce a shoreline stabilization concept and cost estimate that can realistically be implemented.
The scope centers on field investigations that inform the eventual engineering solution. That includes wetland delineation to map and characterize jurisdictional wetlands and related resources, species presence/absence surveys to determine whether protected or sensitive species are present and how that affects construction timing and design, and engineering investigations to evaluate shoreline processes and physical site conditions (for example, erosion drivers, soils/substrate conditions, and existing shoreline features). The expected outcome is not simply a narrative report, but a defensible design approach and an associated cost estimate that NAVFAC can use to plan and execute restoration and stabilization work.
A key constraint is that the project area is adjacent to existing waterfront infrastructure, specifically a boat ramp and a pier. Any proposed stabilization approach must preserve navigability and access at these facilities. Designs that reduce access, interfere with boating traffic, or otherwise negatively affect the functionality of the pier and ramp are explicitly unacceptable. In practice, that means the design development must account for clearances, water depths, shoreline geometry, construction sequencing, and how proposed features (such as revetments, living shoreline elements, breakwaters, sills, or other measures) might influence currents, sedimentation, and the approach path to the ramp and pier.
Administratively, this is a discretionary federal funding opportunity using a Cooperative Agreement as the funding instrument, which usually implies the government anticipates substantial involvement during the project rather than simply issuing a grant and stepping back. The program is listed under CFDA 12.300 (Basic and Applied Scientific Research) and does not require cost sharing or matching funds. Eligibility is listed as unrestricted, meaning a broad range of entities may apply as long as they meet any conditions stated in the full announcement.
The opportunity was posted May 28, 2015, created June 25, 2015, with an original closing date of June 29, 2015, and a revised current closing date of July 8, 2015. The archive date is July 29, 2015, indicating the solicitation is no longer active today, but the details describe what NAVFAC was seeking at the time: an investigation-driven, engineering-ready stabilization concept that respects environmental constraints while maintaining full operational access to adjacent waterfront facilities. For access issues with the full announcement, the listed point of contact was Nadia Shelby, Contract Specialist, at 202-685-3306.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs): CAFFEE CIRCLE PERIMETER ROAD SHORELINE STABILIZATION (NAVFAC / U.S. Navy)
1) What is the CAFFEE CIRCLE PERIMETER ROAD SHORELINE STABILIZATION opportunity?
It is a U.S. Navy grant-funded project run by the Naval Facilities Engineering Command (NAVFAC) focused on evaluating and designing a practical, cost-effective approach to restore and stabilize an eroding shoreline area associated with the Caffee Circle Perimeter Road.
2) What is the main purpose of the award?
The award is intended to fund early-phase investigative and design work needed to understand site conditions, identify constraints, and produce a shoreline stabilization concept and cost estimate that NAVFAC can realistically implement.
3) Is this funding for construction, or for investigation and design?
Based on the description, the emphasis is on investigation-driven work and development of an engineering-ready stabilization concept and cost estimate, not on performing full construction.
4) What types of field investigations are included in the scope?
The scope centers on field investigations that inform the engineering solution, including wetland delineation, species presence/absence surveys, and engineering investigations to evaluate shoreline processes and physical site conditions.
5) What is meant by “wetland delineation” in this project?
Wetland delineation is described as mapping and characterizing jurisdictional wetlands and related resources in the project area to inform design and constraints.
6) What are “species presence/absence surveys” and why do they matter here?
These surveys determine whether protected or sensitive species are present in the area and how that presence may affect construction timing and design decisions.
7) What are the engineering investigations expected to evaluate?
Engineering investigations are intended to evaluate shoreline processes and physical site conditions, such as erosion drivers, soils or substrate conditions, and existing shoreline features.
8) What deliverables are implied by the opportunity (what is NAVFAC trying to get at the end)?
The expected outcome includes a defensible shoreline stabilization design approach and an associated cost estimate that NAVFAC can use to plan and execute restoration and stabilization work. The description indicates NAVFAC is looking for more than a narrative report.
9) What is the key site constraint that must be addressed in any proposed approach?
The project area is adjacent to existing waterfront infrastructure: a boat ramp and a pier. Any stabilization approach must preserve navigability and access at these facilities.
10) What kinds of design impacts are considered unacceptable?
Designs that reduce access, interfere with boating traffic, or otherwise negatively affect the functionality of the pier and boat ramp are explicitly described as unacceptable.
11) What design considerations are specifically called out to protect pier and ramp operations?
The description states that design development must account for clearances, water depths, shoreline geometry, construction sequencing, and how proposed features could influence currents, sedimentation, and the approach path to the ramp and pier.
12) Does the opportunity specify what stabilization methods must be used?
No single method is mandated in the description. It provides examples of features that might be evaluated, such as revetments, living shoreline elements, breakwaters, sills, or other measures, as part of developing a practical and cost-effective approach.
13) What federal funding instrument is being used?
The opportunity uses a Cooperative Agreement.
14) What does “Cooperative Agreement” imply for how the project will be managed?
The description notes that a Cooperative Agreement usually implies the government anticipates substantial involvement during the project rather than issuing a grant and stepping back.
15) Is this a discretionary funding opportunity?
Yes. It is described as a discretionary federal funding opportunity.
16) What CFDA program is this associated with?
The program is listed under CFDA 12.300 (Basic and Applied Scientific Research).
17) Are matching funds or cost sharing required?
No. The opportunity states that it does not require cost sharing or matching funds.
18) Who is eligible to apply?
Eligibility is listed as unrestricted, meaning a broad range of entities may apply, as long as they meet any conditions stated in the full announcement.
19) When was the opportunity posted and when did it close?
It was posted on May 28, 2015. The original closing date was June 29, 2015, and the revised current closing date was July 8, 2015.
20) Is this solicitation still active?
No. The archive date is July 29, 2015, which indicates the solicitation is no longer active today.
21) What was NAVFAC seeking at the time the solicitation was open?
NAVFAC was seeking an investigation-driven, engineering-ready shoreline stabilization concept and cost estimate that respects environmental constraints while maintaining full operational access to adjacent waterfront facilities (the pier and boat ramp).
22) Who was the point of contact for access issues with the full announcement?
The listed point of contact was Nadia Shelby, Contract Specialist, at 202-685-3306.
