Opportunity Summary:
The National Resource Damage Assessment Restoration and Implementation Program (NRDAR) FY13 grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number F13AS00107) is a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) discretionary funding action administered out of Headquarters Region 7. It is structured as a Cooperative Agreement within the environmental funding activity category, and it is tied to the NRDAR mission of restoring natural resources harmed by oil spills and releases of hazardous substances. In practical terms, this program is aimed at helping ecosystems recover after major contamination events by supporting restoration and conservation work that improves the long-term condition, resilience, and ecological function of injured lands and waters.
This specific FY13 notice is not an open competition. FWS states it intends to make a single-source award to the Great Land Trust under the authority of 505 DM 2.14.B for implementation of the EVOSTC GLT SpillArea Ecosystem Habitat Conservation Project. Because it is single-source, the announcement explicitly says it is not a request for proposals and that the government does not plan to accept or review applications from other organizations. The award was planned to be made 15 days after the notice was issued, reflecting an intent to proceed directly with the identified partner rather than conduct a competitive selection process.
The restoration focus here is closely connected to lingering impacts of the Exxon Valdez oil spill (EVOS). The work emphasized by this funding centers on planning and implementing habitat conservation actions that support recovery and enhance the long-term health and viability of natural resources and spill-area ecosystems affected by EVOS. The geographic emphasis at the time of the notice was the Kodiak Afognak Archipelago area, indicating that habitat protection, conservation, and related restoration strategies in and around those island and coastal ecosystems were the core priority.
Financially, the opportunity listed an estimated total funding amount of $569,866, with an award ceiling of $569,866 and an award floor of $284,866. The agency anticipated making one award (Expected Awards: 1). No cost sharing or matching was required, meaning the recipient would not be obligated to provide a formal non-federal funding match as a condition of receiving the federal funds.
Although the notice was not competitive, it still identifies the general eligibility categories typically associated with the announcement: nonprofit organizations, including those with 501(c)(3) IRS status (other than institutions of higher education) and nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status (also other than institutions of higher education). The program is tied to CFDA 15.658 (Natural Resource Damage Assessment, Restoration and Implementation), which is the federal assistance listing associated with this type of environmental restoration work.
Key dates in the posting show it was posted and created on March 6, 2013, with an original and current closing date of March 21, 2013, and an archive date of April 22, 2013. For access issues or questions about the announcement, the listed contact was David Wigglesworth, Regional Coordinator, reachable at 907-786-3925 or davidwigglesworth@fws.gov, and an additional information link referenced the Fisheries and Ecological Services web presence.
