Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Desposition of Dredge Materials in a Living Shoreline at Solomon Island" (Funding Opportunity Number N40080 11 LTC 0003) is a U.S. Department of Defense (Navy) discretionary funding notice that planned to make one award through a Cooperative Agreement. The overall aim is to support a shoreline restoration and erosion protection effort at NRC Solomons Island by combining maintenance dredging with beneficial reuse of dredged material and the construction of nature-based shoreline features. In practical terms, the government is looking for a partner to provide professional services that begin with a preliminary engineering evaluation and may extend, if the Navy chooses to exercise that option, into actual dredging and placement work.
At the center of the project is the proposed removal of approximately 8,125 cubic yards of sediment from Coves 2 and 3. This is described as maintenance dredging, meaning the intent is to restore or maintain navigability or functional water depths rather than to create new channels. Instead of disposing of the dredged material elsewhere, the project specifically calls for depositing the dredged spoils on the adjacent beach as part of a restoration approach. This kind of beneficial reuse is commonly used to rebuild beaches, stabilize shorelines, and reduce the environmental footprint associated with traditional disposal.
Beyond dredging and placement, the scope includes the construction of an offshore breakwater designed to protect about 800 linear feet of shoreline characterized by roughly 20-foot-high cliffs. The breakwater component suggests the site is experiencing wave energy and erosion severe enough to threaten the stability of the cliffed shoreline, and the structure is intended to reduce wave தாக்க at the shoreline to slow erosion and protect upland features.
A major feature of the work is the creation of a "living shoreline." In this context, a living shoreline generally refers to shoreline stabilization methods that use natural materials and vegetation (and sometimes low-profile structural elements) to provide erosion control while supporting habitat. The announcement indicates that the living shoreline will include critical area buffer plantings and tidal wetland plantings, which points to restoring or enhancing vegetated zones along the water's edge and in intertidal areas. These plantings can help trap sediment, dissipate wave energy, improve water quality, and provide ecological benefits such as nursery habitat for fish and invertebrates and feeding areas for birds.
The opportunity is categorized under Natural Resources and is associated with CFDA 12.300 (Basic and Applied Scientific Research), although the described work reads primarily as applied coastal engineering and ecological restoration with an engineering evaluation component. The notice states there is no cost-sharing or matching requirement. Eligibility is listed as unrestricted, meaning it was open to a broad range of applicant types, subject to any additional eligibility clarifications that may have been included in the full announcement.
Administratively, the posting date and creation date were both August 15, 2011, with an original and current closing date of September 7, 2011. The announcement expected a single award. The funding fields in the summary show an estimated total funding, award ceiling, and award floor all listed as 0, which typically indicates that dollar amounts were either not provided in the summary data extract, were to be negotiated, or were detailed only in the full solicitation package rather than in the high-level listing.
For questions or issues accessing the full announcement, the listed point of contact was Denise Wilson, Contracting Officer, reachable by phone at 202-685-0400.

Where will the work take place?
The work is described as taking place at NRC Solomons Island (referenced in the notice as "Solomon Island").
What services is the Navy looking for from a partner?
The government is looking for a partner to provide professional services that begin with a preliminary engineering evaluation and may extend, if the Navy chooses to exercise that option, into actual dredging and placement work.
Is dredging part of the project scope?
Yes. The center of the project is the proposed removal of approximately 8,125 cubic yards of sediment from Coves 2 and 3.
How much sediment is expected to be removed?
Approximately 8,125 cubic yards of sediment are proposed for removal.
From where will the sediment be removed?
The sediment would be removed from Coves 2 and 3.
Is this dredging described as maintenance dredging?
Yes. The notice describes the work as maintenance dredging, meaning the intent is to restore or maintain navigability or functional water depths rather than to create new channels.
What will happen to the dredged material?
Instead of disposing of the dredged material elsewhere, the project specifically calls for depositing the dredged spoils on the adjacent beach as part of a restoration approach.
What does "beneficial reuse" mean in this project?
In practical terms, it means the dredged material is used as part of the shoreline restoration approach (for example, rebuilding beaches and stabilizing shorelines) rather than being disposed of at a separate disposal site.
Is shoreline protection included beyond dredging and beach placement?
Yes. The scope includes construction of an offshore breakwater and development of a living shoreline.
What is the offshore breakwater intended to protect?
The offshore breakwater is designed to protect about 800 linear feet of shoreline.
What is notable about the shoreline being protected?
The shoreline is characterized by roughly 20-foot-high cliffs, and the breakwater component suggests wave energy and erosion are significant enough to threaten stability.
What is the purpose of the breakwater in this project?
The structure is intended to reduce wave attack at the shoreline to slow erosion and protect upland features.
What is a "living shoreline" in the context of this notice?
In this context, a living shoreline refers to shoreline stabilization methods that use natural materials and vegetation (and sometimes low-profile structural elements) to provide erosion control while supporting habitat.
What living shoreline elements are specifically mentioned?
The announcement indicates the living shoreline will include critical area buffer plantings and tidal wetland plantings.
What are the intended benefits of the plantings mentioned?
