Opportunity Summary:
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), through its Chesapeake Bay Program Office (CBPO), issued a Fiscal Year 2011 Request for Proposals for a single cooperative agreement to support the work of the Chesapeake Bay Program (CBP). The purpose of the opportunity is to fund an organization that can provide ongoing administrative and technical staff support to CBP committees. In practical terms, the recipient is expected to help CBP partners coordinate and carry out committee work tied to restoring the Chesapeake Bay and to advancing the goals and commitments set out in the Chesapeake 2000 agreement. The announcement emphasizes that this is a new solicitation that had not previously been distributed.
This opportunity is a discretionary environmental grant, offered as a cooperative agreement, which typically means EPA expects to have substantial involvement in the funded work (for example, coordination, oversight, and collaboration during implementation). The program is listed under CFDA 66.466, Chesapeake Bay Program. EPA anticipated making one award, indicating the agency was looking for a single entity to act as the central support provider for committee staff functions rather than splitting the work among multiple grantees.
Funding for the award was expected to be substantial, with an estimated total of $4.2 million. The funding range was narrow, with an award floor of $3.9 million and an award ceiling of $4.2 million, suggesting EPA had a fairly defined scope of work and budget expectation for the support services. Cost sharing or matching was required, meaning applicants would need to contribute a portion of project costs through non-federal funds or allowable in-kind contributions, consistent with the detailed requirements in the full announcement.
Key dates show the opportunity was posted on December 23, 2010, with an original closing date of February 5, 2011, later extended to a current closing date of March 4, 2011. The listing notes that applicants needed to follow the full announcement, especially Section IV, for the official submission instructions, methods, and exact due-date details. The opportunity later moved to archive status on April 3, 2011.
Eligibility is summarized broadly as "Others," with the announcement directing applicants to Section III for the specific eligibility rules and any clarifications. In other words, eligibility could include certain types of organizations beyond standard governmental categories, but the definitive criteria are contained in the full RFP rather than the summary record. Applicants were also directed to an additional information link for the complete solicitation package.
For access issues or questions about the full announcement, EPA provided a point of contact: Suzanne Hersh at 410-267-5770 or hersh.suzanne@epa.gov.
