Opportunity Summary:
The Charles River Natural Valley Storage Area, MA grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number W912DR 15 2 0003) is a discretionary cooperative agreement offered by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Baltimore District, under the Department of the Army. It focuses on natural resources work tied to a flood control project area (CFDA 12.106, Flood Control Projects). The stated intent of the announcement is to make a single award, and it is specifically described as a sole source cooperative agreement with the Student Conservation Association (SCA), meaning the agency planned to award directly to that organization rather than run a fully open competition.
The purpose of the agreement is to support management and enhancement of natural resources at the Charles River Natural Valley Storage Area. The work is strongly centered on field-based boundary and land documentation tasks combined with GIS support. Key duties include locating and verifying USACE boundary lines and easement lines, as well as finding property monuments, using a Trimble GPS unit. The project also requires collecting field data to support land and resource management decisions, then integrating that information into USACE mapping and records systems. On the GIS side, the awardee would be responsible for maintaining a GIS geodatabase, scanning and georeferencing survey-related documents, and producing maps using raster datasets and shapefiles. The agreement also anticipates additional GIS and mapping assignments as needed, suggesting ongoing support rather than a single one-time deliverable.
Funding for the opportunity was estimated at a total of $50,000, with an award ceiling of $50,000, and it indicated no cost sharing or matching requirement. The expected number of awards was one. Eligibility was limited to nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), consistent with the cooperative agreement approach and the planned partnership described in the notice.
The opportunity was posted on February 13, 2015, with an original and current closing date of February 20, 2015, and it was later archived on March 22, 2015. The listed point of contact for access issues or questions was Jeffrey May, Grants Officer, at 410-962-5617.
