Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number F13AS00185) is a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service notice stating the agency's intent to make a single-source grant award without competition. The purpose of the funding is to pay for safety and operational condition upgrades to certain roads that are frequently inundated, meaning they are regularly affected by flooding or high water. These roads support access for visitors to two federally owned public lands in Wisconsin: Necedah National Wildlife Refuge and the Meadow Valley Wildlife Area. The funding for this work comes from the Public Lands Highways Discretionary Fund, and the notice makes clear that the money was set aside specifically for this particular project rather than being opened up for broader, competitive proposals.
The agency characterizes the award as a discretionary grant in the areas of community development and environment, with an expectation of one total award. The estimated total funding amount is $90,000, which is also listed as the award ceiling, while the award floor is $0. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient is not expected to contribute a required non-federal share as a condition of receiving the funds.
Eligibility is effectively limited because this is not an open solicitation. Instead of inviting applications from multiple entities, the announcement functions as a formal notification that the Fish and Wildlife Service plans to award the grant directly to Cutler Township. The justification for using a noncompetitive, single-source approach is cited as "505 DM 2.14B(4)," referring to an internal Department of the Interior policy authority that allows single-source awards under specific circumstances. Because of this structure, members of the public or other potential applicants should not interpret the listing as an opportunity to submit an application; it is essentially an administrative posting documenting the planned award.
The listing was posted and created on May 29, 2013, and it was archived on June 29, 2013. No application closing date is provided, which aligns with the fact that the action is an intent to award rather than a competitive funding round. The program is associated with CFDA number 15.664, Fish and Wildlife Coordination and Assistance Programs, which typically involves cooperative work that supports fish and wildlife resources and related public access or management needs.
For anyone needing the full announcement or having difficulty accessing it online through Grants.gov, the notice provides a direct point of contact: Douglas Staller at the Fish and Wildlife Service, reachable by phone at 608-565-4400 or by email at DougStaller@fws.gov.
