Opportunity Summary:
The Cullinan Ranch acceleration/deceleration lanes State Route 37 protection rip rap grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number F13AS00234) was a discretionary grant offered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service under CFDA 15.664, Fish and Wildlife Coordination and Assistance Programs. It focused on a transportation and community development construction project along State Route 37, specifically calling for the construction of new acceleration and deceleration lanes and the installation of protective stone rip rap to armor approximately 2.7 miles of the SR 37 corridor. In practical terms, the work described suggests a combined safety and shoreline/roadway protection effort, with rip rap intended to reduce erosion and protect the roadway edge or adjacent infrastructure from water-related impacts.
The opportunity anticipated a single award, with an estimated total funding amount of $2,458,000. The posting and creation date was July 9, 2013, and the application window was short: the original and current closing date was July 16, 2013. The opportunity was archived shortly after, on July 31, 2013. The notice listed no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants were not required to provide a non-federal match as a condition of the grant. The award ceiling and floor were both shown as $0, which commonly indicates the funding amount was managed as a specific project allocation or that precise award range values were not populated in the listing, despite the total estimated funding being clearly stated.
Eligibility was limited to nonprofits with IRS 501(c)(3) status, excluding institutions of higher education. The funding instrument type was a grant, and the activity categories were community development and transportation, reflecting the infrastructure nature of the project. Additional details and the full announcement were made available through Grants.gov, and the listed point of contact for access issues or questions was Ellen Tong at the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (510-792-0222, EllenTong@fws.gov).
