Opportunity Summary:

The Fish Passage Facilities Inspection Coordination Program is a cooperative agreement opportunity administered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (CFDA 15.608, Fish and Wildlife Management Assistance) that supports the ongoing coordination of inspections for fish passage facilities used by both adult and juvenile fish. The program is tied to the work of the Fish Passage Center, which has maintained this inspection coordination function continuously since 1983, reflecting a long-running operational need rather than a new pilot effort. The central purpose is to ensure that inspections of passage facilities are organized, consistent, and effectively carried out across the system, helping agencies track conditions and performance of infrastructure that affects fish migration and survival.

Historically, the effort has been jointly supported through the Fish Passage Center budget since 1986, with funding participation from a mix of state and federal fish and wildlife entities. Agencies identified as past supporters include the National Marine Fisheries Service, the Idaho Department of Fish and Game, the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife, the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife, and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. This joint funding history signals that the coordination work is intended to serve shared regional management and conservation objectives, aligning multiple jurisdictions around a common inspection and oversight process.

The work funded under this opportunity is specifically associated with the Field Operations Coordinator role, covering tasks related to coordinating facility inspections. The announcement quantifies the level of effort as four person-months per year, described as roughly one-third (33.33 percent) of the coordinator's salary. In practical terms, the grant dollars are meant to underwrite the coordinator time required to plan, organize, and facilitate inspection activities, rather than to fund major construction, equipment purchases, or large multi-year research.

From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity was posted July 29, 2010, with a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument and an environmental focus area. It anticipated a single award, with total estimated funding of $8,830 and a fixed award floor and ceiling of $8,830, indicating a narrowly defined budget amount rather than a competitive range of possible award sizes. Cost sharing or matching was not required. Eligibility was limited to state governments, pointing to a design where a state entity would receive and manage the funds to support the coordination function. For assistance with accessing the full announcement, the listed contact was Robert Haverkate, Agreements Assistant, at (360) 604-2519.
