Opportunity Summary:
The Hurricane Sandy Disaster Relief SA63 Road Stream Crossing Assessment (Funding Opportunity Number F14AS00331) was a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) discretionary grant offered as a cooperative agreement under CFDA 15.677, Hurricane Sandy Disaster Relief Activities. The purpose of the award was to support work tied to Hurricane Sandy recovery by improving understanding and management of road-stream crossings, which are often critical points for flood risk, aquatic connectivity, and habitat impacts. Through this project, FWS aimed to assemble and refine information that can guide practical, on-the-ground decisions about which crossing sites need attention first and what kinds of actions are most appropriate.
The scope of work described in the announcement focused on five main deliverables. First, the recipient would collect road-stream crossing data, meaning field and/or desktop compilation of information on culverts, bridges, and related structures where roads intersect waterways. Second, the recipient would provide technical support for reviewing that information and developing usable datasets, which typically involves quality control, standardizing formats, filling gaps, and ensuring the data can support planning and engineering discussions. Third, the project included an explicit requirement to determine the scope of work and prioritize activities if funding proved insufficient, so the effort would still yield the highest-value outcomes even under budget constraints. Fourth, the recipient would support public meetings by explaining planned activities to nearby residents and other stakeholders and by gathering feedback, reflecting an expectation of community engagement and transparency. Fifth, the project would provide support for training individuals and state partners, suggesting capacity-building goals so that agencies and practitioners can continue applying consistent methods for assessing crossings beyond the life of the award.
Funding for the opportunity was fixed: an estimated total of $574,375, with the award ceiling and floor both set at $574,375, and FWS expected to make a single award. There was no cost-sharing or matching requirement, which means applicants were not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the award. Eligibility was listed as unrestricted, indicating the competition was open to a broad range of entity types, subject to any further eligibility details that may have appeared in the full announcement on Grants.gov.
Key dates show this was a time-limited, archived opportunity tied to the 2014 cycle. It was posted and created on July 23, 2014, with an application deadline of August 20, 2014, and it was archived on August 24, 2014. The listing also provided a Grants.gov link for the complete announcement and named a point of contact at FWS for access issues: Cheryle Lawrence (cherylelawrence@fws.gov).
