Opportunity Summary:
The Possum Point Shoreline Restoration opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number N40080 15 2 0014) was a discretionary federal funding announcement from the Naval Facilities Engineering Command (NAVFAC) to carry out shoreline repair and habitat-focused stabilization work at Possum Point, a shoreline area on the northeast end of Greenbury Point near Naval Support Activity (NSA) Annapolis. Possum Point sits between Mill Creek on the west and the Chesapeake Bay on the east and is commonly used for fishing. The project exists because the shoreline is actively eroding and the existing bulkhead is failing, with wave energy and holes in the bulkhead contributing to ongoing loss of shoreline. The announcement also notes that erosion is a broader issue across multiple shoreline reaches on Greenbury Point, and that prior study work was completed to document erosion conditions, assess existing habitat, and evaluate feasible restoration approaches specifically for Possum Point.
The central purpose of the award was to ensure NSA Annapolis meets legal and policy obligations to address shoreline degradation, particularly under the Clean Water Act and Executive Order 13508 (which relates to protecting and restoring the Chesapeake Bay). Rather than funding open-ended planning, the government indicated that a design had already been developed and approved. The selected partner (the “Cooperator”) would be responsible for implementing that government-approved design (referenced as Appendix B in the full package) across the identified shoreline reaches at Possum Point. In practice, that means the work was expected to be execution-oriented: constructing and installing the specified restoration measures to stabilize the shoreline and reduce erosion impacts, consistent with what the feasibility study and final design determined was appropriate for the site.
This opportunity used a Cooperative Agreement as the funding instrument, which generally implies substantial federal involvement compared to a standard grant. The recipient would be expected to coordinate closely with the Navy during implementation, follow the approved design requirements, and complete the work in alignment with the government’s technical direction and oversight. A key compliance element was permitting: the Cooperator had to comply with all permits and authorizations associated with the approved design as they were issued or became applicable. That framing signals the project would be carried out within a regulated coastal and aquatic environment where federal, state, and possibly local approvals are typically required, and where construction timing, methods, and environmental protections may be constrained by permit conditions.
Administrative details from the posting indicate it anticipated a single award (Expected Awards: 1) and did not require cost sharing or matching funds. Eligibility was described as “unrestricted,” meaning it was open to a wide range of applicant types unless further limited by the full announcement’s eligibility language. The opportunity was categorized under the Environment activity area, and it also referenced CFDA 12.300 (Basic and Applied Scientific Research), which can be used by DoD components for certain research and applied environmental and engineering efforts even when the end goal is practical implementation.
In terms of timing and status, the opportunity was posted July 30, 2015, with an original and current closing date of August 31, 2015. It was archived on September 1, 2015, indicating it is no longer open. The listed point of contact for issues accessing the full announcement was Chelsea Inman, Contract Specialist, at 202-685-3308.

3) Why was this project needed?
The shoreline at Possum Point is actively eroding and the existing bulkhead is failing. Wave energy and holes in the bulkhead were identified as contributors to ongoing shoreline loss. The announcement also noted that erosion is a broader issue across multiple shoreline reaches on Greenbury Point.
4) What type of work was the award intended to fund?
The award was intended to fund implementation of shoreline repair and habitat-focused stabilization measures at Possum Point. The emphasis was on execution-oriented construction and installation work to stabilize the shoreline and reduce erosion impacts.
5) Was this opportunity for planning and design, or for implementation?
It was primarily for implementation. The government indicated that a design had already been developed and approved, and the selected partner would be responsible for implementing that government-approved design.

The selected partner (the "Cooperator") was expected to implement the government-approved design referenced as Appendix B in the full package, applying it across the identified shoreline reaches at Possum Point.
7) What prior work supported this project?
Prior study work was completed to document erosion conditions, assess existing habitat, and evaluate feasible restoration approaches specifically for Possum Point. The feasibility study and final design informed what restoration measures were considered appropriate for the site.
8) What was the central purpose or policy driver of the award?
The central purpose was to help ensure NSA Annapolis meets legal and policy obligations to address shoreline degradation, particularly under the Clean Water Act and Executive Order 13508 related to protecting and restoring the Chesapeake Bay.

11) Who was responsible for carrying out the work?
The selected recipient, referred to as the "Cooperator," would be responsible for implementing the government-approved shoreline restoration design at Possum Point.
12) What were the permitting and authorization expectations?
The Cooperator was required to comply with all permits and authorizations associated with the approved design as they were issued or became applicable. The announcement framing suggests the project would occur in a regulated coastal and aquatic environment where approvals may be required and where permit conditions could constrain construction timing, methods, and environmental protections.

18) Why would a project focused on shoreline restoration reference CFDA 12.300?
The announcement indicated that DoD components can use CFDA 12.300 for certain research and applied environmental and engineering efforts, even when the end goal is practical implementation such as shoreline stabilization.
19) When was the opportunity posted?
The opportunity was posted on July 30, 2015.
20) What was the closing date?
The original and current closing date listed was August 31, 2015.
