Opportunity Summary:

The Habitat Improvement Project for Chinook Salmon (Funding Opportunity Number F15AS00233) is a discretionary grant offered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service under CFDA 15.648, the Central Valley Project Improvement (CVPI) Anadromous Fish Restoration Program (AFRP). The project is focused on finishing a habitat restoration effort by completing roughly 10 acres of channel and floodplain grading. The overall purpose is to improve habitat conditions for both adult and juvenile Chinook Salmon by restoring physical processes and habitat features in a stream channel and its adjacent floodplain.

The scope of work emphasizes on-the-ground construction supported by the full set of pre-construction and post-construction requirements. Key tasks include obtaining county grading permits and any additional required permits, managing the project from planning through completion, coordinating with and conducting outreach to landowners, and running a construction procurement process that includes bidding and contractor selection. After contractor selection, the agreement covers project implementation (the actual restoration/grading work) along with development of a monitoring plan, completion of baseline monitoring prior to construction, and post-project surveying to document site conditions and measure project results.

From a funding and administrative standpoint, the opportunity listed an estimated total funding amount of $650,000, with an award ceiling of $650,000 and an award floor of $1,000, and it anticipated making one award. No cost sharing or matching requirement was indicated. Eligibility was described as unrestricted (open to any type of entity), although the listing also notes that a recipient had already been selected at the time of posting, meaning the competition was not effectively open for new applicants.

The announcement was posted on May 20, 2015, with an original and current closing date of May 25, 2015, and it was archived on May 26, 2015. The grants.gov listing included an additional information link (http://www.grants.gov/) and provided a point of contact at the Fish and Wildlife Service for access issues: Connie Sauer, 503-872-2826, ConnieSauer@fws.gov.
