Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Hurricane Sandy Disaster Relief, Proj VA 034" (Funding Opportunity Number F14AS00225) is a discretionary funding announcement from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) under CFDA 15.677, Hurricane Sandy Disaster Relief Activities. The project is focused on a specific infrastructure and habitat-related problem in Virginia: replacing an existing culvert on Quantico Creek in Dumfries, VA, located beneath Route 633. The underlying issue is that the current culvert presents a flood hazard and has contributed to sedimentation problems in the creek, while also creating a partial blockage for fish movement.
The core purpose of the proposed work is to replace the culvert with an improved design that increases flow velocity through the crossing. By moving water more effectively, the upgraded culvert is intended to transport sediment through the structure rather than allowing it to accumulate, which directly addresses the ongoing sedimentation issue. In addition to improving sediment passage and reducing flood-related risk, the replacement is designed to eliminate a partial fish passage barrier, supporting aquatic connectivity and habitat function in Quantico Creek. In practical terms, the project sits at the intersection of disaster resilience, stream function restoration, and fish and wildlife conservation outcomes.
This opportunity was structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning the federal agency may expect to have substantial involvement during the project period (for example, coordination on technical approach, compliance considerations, or oversight milestones), rather than acting solely as a pass-through funder. The announcement anticipated a single award, with total estimated funding of $297,675. The award ceiling and floor were both listed as $297,675, which strongly indicates the funding amount was essentially fixed for this specific project scope rather than a broad open competition with variable award sizes. Cost sharing or matching was not required, lowering the barrier for applicants that may not have non-federal funds available.
Eligibility was listed as unrestricted (open to any type of entity), subject to any clarifications that may have appeared in the full announcement. Key dates for the opportunity were tightly scheduled: it was posted on June 20, 2014, with an original and current closing date of June 30, 2014, and an archive date of July 20, 2014. The short application window suggests the funding was targeted and time-sensitive, consistent with disaster relief appropriations and project-specific readiness.
Applicants looking for full details were directed to Grants.gov via the additional information link (http://www.grants.gov). For access issues or questions about the announcement, the listed contact was Cheryle Lawrence at the Fish and Wildlife Service, reachable at cherylelawrence@fws.gov.
