Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Expansion of Constructed Wetland for Habitat Enhancement" (Funding Opportunity Number N40080 13 LTC 0003) was issued by the Naval Facilities Engineering Command (NAVFAC) as a discretionary cooperative agreement focused on natural resources and stormwater management at Naval Support Facility Dahlgren (NSFDL). The project builds on earlier NAVFAC-funded work that began in 2010 to design and construct a first constructed wetland treatment cell intended to improve habitat and treat stormwater runoff from an approximately 162-acre watershed on the installation. Performance calculations for that first cell indicated it would treat roughly 40 to 50 percent of the recommended stormwater treatment volume for the watershed, meaning a substantial portion of runoff would still remain untreated.
To close that gap, NAVFAC awarded a follow-on cooperative agreement in 2012 to provide additional survey, design, and construction support tied to the first cell, and to design a second, complementary constructed wetland cell. The purpose of the second cell was to integrate with the initial wetland so the combined system could achieve 100 percent of the recommended treatment volume for the watershed. This 2013 opportunity specifically covers construction of the finalized design for that second treatment cell, with the practical aim of delivering the remaining stormwater treatment capacity needed to manage runoff from the watershed more completely.
From an outcomes standpoint, the agency framed the project as delivering two connected benefits: habitat enhancement (through creation and expansion of wetland habitat) and water quality improvements (through treatment of a meaningful quantity of stormwater that would otherwise flow untreated). The opportunity also explicitly ties the work to federal environmental and natural resource responsibilities, citing NAVFAC Washington obligations under the Sikes Act Improvement Act (16 USC 670 et seq.), which governs natural resources management on military installations, and aligning the effort with Executive Order 13508 on Chesapeake Bay Protection and Restoration, signaling that reducing nutrient and sediment loads to the Bay watershed is a driving policy objective.
Administratively, the opportunity was posted on August 5, 2013, with an application deadline of September 5, 2013, and an archive date of October 5, 2013. The award ceiling was listed at $486,000 with no stated award floor, and the posting indicated no cost sharing or matching requirement. Eligibility was described as unrestricted (open to any entity type), subject to any additional eligibility clarifications included in the full announcement. The CFDA number referenced was 12.300 (Basic and Applied Scientific Research), and the listed point of contact for access issues or questions was Allison Silver, Contract Specialist, at 202-685-3162 and allison.silver@navy.mil.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What is the title of this grant opportunity?
The opportunity is titled "Expansion of Constructed Wetland for Habitat Enhancement."
What is the Funding Opportunity Number (FON)?
The Funding Opportunity Number is N40080 13 LTC 0003.
Which agency issued this opportunity?
The opportunity was issued by the Naval Facilities Engineering Command (NAVFAC).
What type of funding instrument is being used?
This opportunity is described as a discretionary cooperative agreement.
Where will the project take place?
The work is tied to Naval Support Facility Dahlgren (NSFDL).
What is the project trying to accomplish overall?
The project is intended to expand constructed wetland treatment capacity to improve habitat and to treat stormwater runoff more completely for an approximately 162-acre watershed on the installation.
What is being built under this 2013 opportunity specifically?
This 2013 opportunity specifically covers construction of the finalized design for the second constructed wetland treatment cell.
Why is a second constructed wetland cell needed?
The first constructed wetland treatment cell (designed and constructed under earlier NAVFAC-funded work that began in 2010) was calculated to treat only about 40 to 50 percent of the recommended stormwater treatment volume for the watershed. The second cell is intended to integrate with the first so that, together, the system achieves 100 percent of the recommended treatment volume.
How does this opportunity relate to earlier NAVFAC work?
It builds on earlier work that began in 2010 to design and construct the first treatment cell. NAVFAC then awarded a follow-on cooperative agreement in 2012 for additional survey, design, and construction support tied to the first cell, as well as for the design of a second complementary cell. This 2013 posting focuses on constructing that second cell based on the finalized design.
What watershed size is referenced for stormwater runoff management?
The opportunity references stormwater runoff from an approximately 162-acre watershed on the installation.
What outcomes does NAVFAC highlight for this project?
NAVFAC frames the outcomes as (1) habitat enhancement through creation and expansion of wetland habitat and (2) water quality improvements through treatment of a meaningful quantity of stormwater that would otherwise flow untreated.
What laws or policy drivers are cited as justification for the work?
The posting ties the work to NAVFAC Washington obligations under the Sikes Act Improvement Act (16 USC 670 et seq.), which governs natural resources management on military installations. It also aligns the effort with Executive Order 13508 on Chesapeake Bay Protection and Restoration, indicating a policy focus on reducing nutrient and sediment loads to the Chesapeake Bay watershed.
Is the opportunity connected to Chesapeake Bay restoration goals?
Yes. The opportunity explicitly references alignment with Executive Order 13508 on Chesapeake Bay Protection and Restoration, signaling that reducing nutrient and sediment loads to the Bay watershed is a driving objective.
When was the opportunity posted?
The opportunity was posted on August 5, 2013.
What was the application deadline?
The application deadline was September 5, 2013.
When was the opportunity archived?
