Opportunity Summary:
The IMPROVEMENT PLAN FACILITY IMPLEMENTATION PLAN (STREAM RESTORATION) opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number N40080 15 2 0010) is a discretionary federal funding announcement issued by the Naval Facilities Engineering Command (NAVFAC). It was offered as a cooperative agreement under CFDA 12.300 (Basic and Applied Scientific Research), with no cost sharing or matching requirement. Eligibility was listed as unrestricted, meaning a wide range of applicant types could apply as long as they met any additional eligibility language contained in the full announcement.
The core purpose of the award is to produce the survey work and design package needed to stabilize a defined set of degraded stream reaches totaling 3,049 linear feet. The work is focused on stream restoration planning and design rather than on-the-ground construction. A key expectation is that the cooperator will assess the stream segments, identify and prioritize the areas most in need of immediate stabilization, and then develop a practical, cost-effective design that addresses the highest-risk erosion and instability issues first. The emphasis is strongly on reducing sediment loads and limiting ongoing bank erosion to the maximum extent feasible, which suggests designs should directly target erosion drivers such as unstable banks, failing toe slopes, high shear stress bends, incised channels, and other site-specific causes of sediment delivery.
In addition to erosion and sediment control, the design is expected to improve riparian habitat for wildlife use. That habitat improvement component is not meant to create long-term upkeep burdens; the design should avoid approaches that require excessive maintenance over time. In practice, this typically points toward restoration concepts that are durable and self-sustaining, rely on natural processes where possible, and use materials and planting schemes that can establish and persist without continual intervention. Vegetation management is explicitly part of the scope: the design must include removal of invasive species and replacement with native, non-invasive species. That requirement indicates the final plan should include a clear invasive removal strategy, a native planting palette, and a revegetation approach suited to local hydrology, soils, and shading, with the goal of stabilizing banks while improving ecological function.
Another important requirement is to incorporate existing infrastructure into the design. This means the restoration plan cannot be developed in isolation from what is already on site, such as culverts, outfalls, crossings, utilities, stormwater structures, access roads, or other built features that affect flow patterns and constrain restoration options. The resulting design is expected to work around these constraints (or integrate them) so that the stabilization measures and habitat improvements function alongside existing facility conditions.
From an administrative standpoint, the timeline in the public synopsis shows the opportunity was posted July 1, 2015, created July 29, 2015, originally due August 3, 2015, and then extended to a current closing date of August 7, 2015, with an archive date of September 2, 2015.

How much stream length is included in the project scope?
The scope covers degraded stream reaches totaling 3,049 linear feet.
Is the work focused on construction or planning and design?
The work is focused on stream restoration planning and design rather than on-the-ground construction.
What are the key technical expectations for the cooperator?
The cooperator is expected to assess the stream segments, identify and prioritize the areas most in need of immediate stabilization, and develop a practical, cost-effective design that addresses the highest-risk erosion and instability issues first.
What outcomes are emphasized for erosion and sediment control?
The design is expected to reduce sediment loads and limit ongoing bank erosion to the maximum extent feasible.
What kinds of erosion or instability problems should the design target?
The information indicates the design should directly target erosion drivers such as unstable banks, failing toe slopes, high shear stress bends, incised channels, and other site-specific causes of sediment delivery.
Does the design need to include habitat improvements?
Yes. In addition to erosion and sediment control, the design is expected to improve riparian habitat for wildlife use.
Are there expectations about long-term maintenance of habitat improvements?
Yes. The habitat improvement component is not meant to create long-term upkeep burdens, and the design should avoid approaches that require excessive maintenance over time.
Does the scope include vegetation management?
Yes. Vegetation management is explicitly part of the scope.
What are the vegetation requirements?
The design must include removal of invasive species and replacement with native, non-invasive species.
What should be included related to invasive species removal and revegetation?
Based on the stated requirements, the final plan should include a clear invasive removal strategy, a native planting palette, and a revegetation approach suited to local hydrology, soils, and shading, with the goal of stabilizing banks while improving ecological function.
Does the design have to account for existing site infrastructure?
Yes. The restoration design must incorporate existing infrastructure into the design.
What types of infrastructure are referenced as needing consideration?
Examples listed include culverts, outfalls, crossings, utilities, stormwater structures, access roads, or other built features that affect flow patterns and constrain restoration options.
Can the restoration plan be developed without considering existing facilities?
No. The information states the plan cannot be developed in isolation from what is already on site, and the design is expected to work around these constraints (or integrate them) so stabilization and habitat improvements function alongside existing facility conditions.
