Opportunity Summary:
The "Harpers, Pearson" grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number N40080-15-2-0012) is a discretionary environmental funding announcement issued by the Naval Facilities Engineering Command (NAVFAC) and intended to be awarded through a cooperative agreement. The effort centers on designing a shoreline stabilization and living shoreline concept for a specific segment known as Reach F1 along Harpers Creek. Reach F1 is described as 758 linear feet of shoreline facing west-northwest, bordered by Harpers Creek on the north and east sides and the NAS Patuxent River (NAS PAX) Station Weapons Compound on the south and west sides. The primary purpose is to produce a completed design package and prepare the required permits needed to implement stabilization measures along this reach.
The scope is very design- and permitting-focused, with clear direction on the stabilization approach and the types of site preparation anticipated. The project calls for selective vegetation management as part of preparing the shoreline for construction and long-term performance. Specifically, the design is expected to account for felling one larger tree (30-inch diameter at breast height) and seven smaller trees in the 8 to 12-inch range, trimming two additional trees, and clearing at least nine dead trees from the bank. This indicates the shoreline has existing vegetation and deadfall that may be contributing to instability, obstructing construction access, or creating hazards that would interfere with the planned living shoreline elements.
A central engineered feature of the proposed living shoreline is the installation of nine offshore segmented rock sills, each 40 feet long. These sills function as breakwaters that reduce wave energy and erosive forces reaching the bank, while still allowing water exchange and habitat connectivity. The design is also expected to shift the effective water edge away from the eroding bank and create conditions for a more stable, vegetated margin. To accomplish that, the project specifies placing sand and establishing marsh grasses in the area between the rock sills and the existing bank. In practical terms, the sills provide protection, the sand helps rebuild and grade the intertidal platform, and the marsh planting provides long-term stabilization through root structure while supporting ecological benefits typical of living shorelines.
The announcement also highlights protection and erosion control requirements to support successful vegetation establishment and stabilize disturbed areas. The design is to include goose fencing to protect newly planted marsh grasses from grazing pressure, which can be a major cause of planting failure in tidal restoration projects. In addition, the design package should include topsoil placement, seeding, and erosion control matting along the eroded sections of bank, reflecting a need for immediate surface stabilization while vegetation becomes established and the site adjusts to the new hydrodynamic conditions created by the sills.
Administratively, the opportunity is listed under the Environment funding activity category and references CFDA number 12.300 (Basic and Applied Scientific Research). It does not require cost sharing or matching. Eligibility is described as unrestricted, meaning it is open to any type of entity unless further limited by additional eligibility language in the full announcement. Key dates included a posted date of July 14, 2015, an original closing date of August 14, 2015, and a revised closing date of August 19, 2015, with an archive date of September 13, 2015. The point of contact provided for access issues is Chelsea Inman, Contract Specialist, at (202) 685-3308.
