Opportunity Summary:
The funding opportunity titled "Construct Fishway for Beaver Lake Dam, Oyster Bay, New York" (Funding Opportunity Number F16AS00327) is a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service notice stating the agency's intent to make a single-source award. It is not a competitive grant solicitation and does not have a full announcement attached. In practical terms, this means the government is not asking the public to submit proposals and is instead proceeding with a specific recipient already identified for the work.
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, within the Department of the Interior, plans to issue a Cooperative Agreement (the funding instrument type) to Friends of the Bay Inc. The activity falls under the Natural Resources category and is funded under CFDA 15.658, Natural Resource Damage Assessment, Restoration and Implementation. The core project purpose is to provide financial assistance to construct fish passage (a fishway) at Beaver Lake Dam in Oyster Bay, New York. Fish passage construction is typically aimed at restoring aquatic connectivity so fish and other aquatic organisms can move upstream and downstream around barriers, supporting habitat access, migration, spawning, and broader ecosystem recovery.
This project is explicitly tied to restoration obligations and planning associated with the Mattiace Petrochemical Site. The notice explains that the activities are being carried out pursuant to the 2014 Final Restoration Plan and Environmental Assessment Addendum for that site. In other words, the fishway construction is part of a larger, previously documented restoration strategy intended to address natural resource injuries and implement agreed-upon restoration actions.
The notice also explains the basis for making a non-competitive, single-source award. The determination not to compete the proposed assistance is cited under Departmental Manual 505 DM 2, paragraph 2.14(B)(4), and the decision is stated to be solely within the government's discretion. While the notice does not provide additional detail on the internal justification, the key takeaway is that the agency is formally documenting that it intends to award without competition under an applicable policy authority.
Key administrative details include a creation date of July 8, 2016, and an original closing date of July 14, 2016, which functioned as the deadline for questions rather than a proposal submission deadline (since proposals were not being requested). The expected number of awards is one, consistent with the single-source approach, and the listed award ceiling is $42,200.
For questions, the point of contact provided is Artela Jacobs at the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, reachable by phone at (404) 679-7197 or by email at artelajacobs@fws.gov. Questions were requested no later than July 14, 2016, consistent with the notice timeline.
