Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number F14AS00382) is a Fish and Wildlife Service cooperative agreement funded under the Hurricane Sandy Disaster Relief Supplemental Appropriations Act of 2013 (Public Law 113-2). It supports Department of the Interior (DOI) Projects #24, #67, and #63, which focus on improving decision support for post-Hurricane Sandy restoration and future conservation aimed at increasing the resilience of coastal and stream-connected habitats in the North Atlantic and Northeast Region. In practical terms, the work is meant to help agencies and partners plan, share, and apply science and tools that reduce damage from future storms and sea level rise while improving habitat and infrastructure outcomes.
The award is intended as a single-source financial assistance action to Ferguson Lynch, selected to work collaboratively with the Landscape Conservation Cooperative (LCC) and Hurricane Sandy partner network. The main deliverable is the development of a Knowledge Management System that functions as a combined communications platform, science delivery hub, and shared workspace for partners. The system is meant to make decision support tools, maps, monitoring results, and other resiliency-related information easy to find and use by decision makers, with an emphasis on providing products at the right scales and in formats that match real planning and management needs. A key theme is strengthening coordination across many jurisdictions and organizations by creating a common place to access information and collaborate.
The effort ties together three related DOI project tracks. Project #24 targets tidal wetland habitats and associated species, focusing on how restoration and conservation can improve resilience to storms and sea level rise. Project #67 applies a similar decision-support approach to beach habitats and beach-dependent species facing the same coastal hazards. Project #63 addresses resilience in freshwater and stream systems by improving standards for culverts and road-stream crossings in ways that both reduce flood risk and restore aquatic connectivity. Across all three, the grant emphasizes the communications and information-management backbone needed to get science into practice, rather than funding on-the-ground construction or restoration work directly.
Administratively, the opportunity was posted on August 7, 2014, with an original and current closing date of September 8, 2014, and an archive date of September 10, 2014. The expected number of awards was one, with total estimated funding of $27,500 and an award ceiling and floor both set at $27,500, indicating a fixed, specific award amount. There was no cost-sharing or matching requirement. While the eligibility field is listed as “unrestricted,” the description makes clear this notice serves primarily as a notification of an already-vetted and approved single-source award rather than a competitive open solicitation.
The selection rationale centers on return on investment: leveraging existing science and regional planning tools for resilience, and working with states, cities, communities, and partners to support the restoration and rebuilding of national wildlife refuges and other federal public assets. The broader policy goal is to increase the resilience and capacity of coastal habitats and infrastructure to withstand future storms and minimize damage. The funding is aligned with CFDA 15.677 (Hurricane Sandy Disaster Relief Activities). For access issues or questions, the listed contact is Arnold Zinan at the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (413-253-8528; arnoldzinan@fws.gov).
