Opportunity Summary:
The "City of Colton Habitat Conservation Planning" opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number F13AS00293) is a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) discretionary funding action designed to support the completion of the City of Colton's Habitat Conservation Plan (HCP). The activity falls under the environmental funding category and is tied to CFDA 15.657, Endangered Species Conservation - Recovery Implementation Funds, which generally supports conservation measures that help recover listed species and align local development planning with federal endangered species protections.
This announcement is not a competitive grant solicitation. It is explicitly issued as a Notice of Intent to Award a Single Source cooperative agreement, meaning FWS had already identified the intended recipient and does not expect or accept competing applications. The posting repeats the instruction "NO COMPETITION IS EXPECTED, PLEASE DO NOT APPLY," making it clear that the funding is reserved for a specific eligible local government entity rather than open to the broader public. Although the eligible applicant type is listed as "City or township governments," the practical eligibility is effectively limited to the City of Colton because the purpose is to complete that specific citys HCP and the award is structured as a single-source action.
The anticipated award profile is straightforward and narrow in scope. FWS expected to make one award, and the total estimated funding is $31,178. Both the award ceiling and floor are set at $31,178, which indicates a fixed award amount rather than a range. There is 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 funding instrument is a cooperative agreement rather than a standard grant. In federal practice, that typically signals a higher level of agency involvement in the project compared to a grant, such as collaboration, technical input, or coordination during plan development and completion. In this case, the cooperative agreement structure would be consistent with FWS working alongside the City of Colton as the HCP is finalized, ensuring the resulting plan aligns with applicable Endangered Species Act requirements and related conservation planning expectations.
Key dates show that the opportunity was posted on August 2, 2013, created on August 5, 2013, and had an original closing date of August 3, 2013, later updated to a current closing date of August 9, 2013. The announcement was archived on August 30, 2013. These short timelines are typical of single-source notices, since the purpose is public transparency rather than soliciting proposals.
For anyone needing assistance locating the full announcement details through the government posting site, the listed point of contact is Anne Robb at the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, reachable at (760) 431-9440 or via email at annerobb@fws.gov.
