Opportunity Summary:
The Central Valley Wetland Water Supplies opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number F12AS00256) was a discretionary, environment-focused grant offered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service through a cooperative agreement. Its purpose was to secure professional services that would help the Central Valley Joint Venture (CVJV) evaluate and determine the best path to achieving full water supplies for wildlife refuges in California's Central Valley, consistent with the refuge water supply objectives identified under the Central Valley Project Improvement Act. In practical terms, the work was aimed at supporting planning, analysis, and coordination needed to ensure refuges receive the intended quantities and reliability of water necessary for wetland habitat management, especially for migratory birds and other wildlife dependent on these systems.
The funding available under the announcement was fixed at $47,000, with both the award floor and ceiling set at $47,000, indicating an expectation of a single award at that exact amount. The opportunity anticipated one award total. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient would not be required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the award. The applicable CFDA listing was 15.637, Migratory Bird Joint Ventures, reflecting the connection to landscape-scale bird and habitat conservation partnerships such as the CVJV.
Eligibility was limited to nonprofit organizations with IRS 501(c)(3) status, excluding institutions of higher education. The posting indicated a short application window and was described as a two-week posting with a Notice of Intent to Sole Source, which typically suggests the agency planned to make an award to a specific organization unless a compelling alternative emerged during the posting period. The opportunity was posted on June 25, 2012, and closed on July 9, 2012, with an archive date of July 13, 2012.
