Opportunity Summary:
The Environmental Contaminants Program grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number F12AS00214) is a discretionary funding notice issued by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service for a project titled "Alcott Street Dam Feasibility Study and Engineering Design for Dam Removal." The work falls under the Environment and Natural Resources activity category and is associated with CFDA (now often referred to as Assistance Listing) 15.662, Great Lakes Restoration. The intent of the project, as described by the title, is to support technical planning and design work needed to evaluate and prepare for removal of the Alcott Street Dam, including a feasibility study and the engineering design required to move a dam removal project forward.
This opportunity is structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning the agency expects substantial involvement in the project rather than a hands-off pass-through award. The notice indicates an expected single award, with an estimated total funding amount of $141,683. The award ceiling is also listed as $141,683, and the award floor is $0, which generally signals there is a single, defined pot of funding up to that amount. No cost sharing or matching requirement is listed, so the recipient is not required to provide a non-federal match as a condition of the award.
A key point is that this is not an open, competitive grant solicitation. The eligibility field explains that there is no application process for this funding opportunity because it is a notice of intent to make a single-source award to the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality. The notice cites the agency justification authority (505 DM 2.14B(1) and (4)) as the basis for issuing the award noncompetitively. In practical terms, that means other organizations are not being invited to apply, and the purpose of the posting is primarily transparency: it publicly documents the agency's intent to fund a specific recipient for a specific project.
Timing information shows the opportunity was posted and created on June 14, 2012, with no closing date listed, and it was archived on June 21, 2012. This short public window and the archived status are consistent with a notice of intent for a single-source award rather than a standard competitive funding round. The listing includes contact information for assistance accessing the full announcement: Jeremy N. Moore at (517) 351-8318 and jeremynmoore@fws.gov.
