Opportunity Summary:
The North Kent Boat Ramp opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number F14AS00395) is a discretionary cooperative agreement from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) focused on natural resources and recreation access in the Housatonic River Watershed. The purpose is to improve recreational opportunities by supporting early-stage planning work for a small, non-motorized access site: specifically, a feasibility study, preliminary design, and a cost estimate for constructing a car-top boat launch in North Kent, Connecticut. The project is being carried out under CFDA 15.658, Natural Resource Damage Assessment, Restoration and Implementation, which is typically used to fund restoration-related actions and associated planning or implementation activities tied to natural resource recovery and public benefit.
This posting is not a competitive grant solicitation and it is not asking for applications or proposals. Instead, it is a formal Notice of Intent to Award to a single source, meaning FWS intends to make the award directly to one organization: the Housatonic Valley Association. Because it is a single-source action, there is no full announcement package associated with the notice, and the agency states that the decision not to compete the award is based on internal Departmental policy cited as Departmental Manual 505 DM 2, paragraph 2.14(B)(4). The notice also makes clear that whether or not to compete the assistance action is solely within the government’s discretion.
The anticipated funding amount is fixed at $86,020, with the award floor and ceiling both listed as $86,020, indicating the agency expected a single award at that exact amount rather than a range. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement stated. While the standard eligibility field lists “Unrestricted,” the text clarifies that this is not actually open for applications because it is a single-source intent to award rather than a solicitation.
Key dates show the notice was posted and created on August 12, 2014, with questions due no later than August 18, 2014, a closing date of August 18, 2014, and an archive date of August 19, 2014. Any questions about the notice were directed to the listed point of contact, Artela Jacobs, Contract Specialist, at (404) 679-7197 or via email at artelajacobs@fws.gov. The listing references Grants.gov for source information, but emphasizes that there is no full competitive announcement associated with this action.
