Opportunity Summary:
The Chesapeake Bay Program Office Fiscal Year 2015 Request for Proposals (RFP) is a discretionary funding opportunity from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Chesapeake Bay Program Office (CBPO) to provide support services for two key advisory bodies in the Chesapeake Bay partnership: the Citizens Advisory Committee (CAC) and the Local Government Advisory Committee (LGAC). The selected recipient is expected to help these committees operate effectively and consistently so they can carry out their advisory roles within the broader Chesapeake Bay restoration governance structure, including work connected to the 2014 Chesapeake Bay Watershed Agreement.
The CAC is made up of residents and citizen stakeholders and is positioned as the primary mechanism for bringing public and stakeholder perspectives into Chesapeake Bay decision-making. Through this grant, support would enable CAC to advise the Chesapeake Executive Council and the Principals Staff Committee (PSC), while also providing assistance to the Management Board and the Goal Implementation Teams (GITs). In practical terms, this centers on helping CAC participate in, respond to, and shape the implementation of agreements adopted by the Executive Council, including the Watershed Agreement that guides restoration and protection actions across the Bay watershed.
The LGAC focuses on the local government side of Chesapeake Bay restoration and protection. It is composed of local elected officials and is meant to strengthen local government involvement in implementing Bay restoration actions. Like CAC, LGAC advises the Executive Council and the PSC and supports the Management Board and GITs as needed. The funding is therefore aimed at ensuring that the partnership has structured, ongoing input from counties, municipalities, and other local entities that are often responsible for land use decisions and on-the-ground implementation.
Administratively, this opportunity is issued under Funding Opportunity Number EPA-R3-CBP-15-01 and uses a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument, meaning EPA anticipates a more collaborative relationship with the recipient than a standard grant. The activity category is Environment and it is tied to CFDA 66.466, Chesapeake Bay Program. EPA anticipated making a single award, with an estimated total funding amount of $3,300,000, which is also listed as the award ceiling. A cost-sharing or matching requirement applies, and eligibility is not broadly stated in the summary text, instead directing applicants to the formal announcement (Section III) for detailed eligibility rules and any clarifications.
Key dates included a posted date of October 15, 2014, with the application closing date listed as December 1, 2014 (with a note to see Section IV for any additional close date information). The opportunity was archived on December 31, 2014. For applicants needing assistance accessing the full announcement, the notice provides a CBPO grants contact, Tim Roberts, with an email address (roberts.timothy.p@epa.gov) and fax number (410-267-5777).
