Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity is a Department of Defense (Navy) cooperative agreement focused on repairing storm-related damage and reducing ongoing shoreline erosion at Range Station 21 located at Muses Beach in Westmoreland County, Virginia. The core purpose is to restore reliable beach access by addressing damage to an existing access road and to stabilize the shoreline so that future erosion and storm impacts do not continue to threaten the road or the Navy range monitoring station on site. Beyond protecting infrastructure needed for military operations at NSF Dahlgren, the project is also framed as supporting broader environmental goals by helping improve water quality conditions in the Potomac River and the Chesapeake Bay through erosion control and shoreline management.
The work is structured in phases, with a clear decision point built in. The first phase is a reassessment of an existing preliminary engineering evaluation. In practical terms, the selected cooperator would review prior engineering assumptions and site information, confirm current conditions, and refine the likely project scope along with an updated, realistic construction cost estimate. That reassessment is meant to give the Navy enough confidence to determine what should be built and what it is likely to cost before committing to full implementation. After this initial reassessment is completed, the Navy may choose (but is not required) to move forward with adopting the engineering recommendations.
If the Navy elects to proceed after the reassessment phase, the agreement anticipates the cooperator taking on the next steps: completing the design of the road restoration and shoreline stabilization features and then, once all required permits, approvals, and authorizations are secured, arranging for and overseeing construction. This implies responsibility not only for technical design work, but also for managing the sequence from permitting through construction management and project oversight. The shoreline stabilization elements are not spelled out in the summary text, but the emphasis is on structures and measures that reduce erosion and protect the access corridor and the monitoring station while also aligning with water quality and sediment control benefits for nearby waters.
Administratively, this opportunity was posted April 16, 2010, and had an application closing date of May 17, 2010 (with the original and current closing dates matching). It is categorized as a discretionary opportunity using a cooperative agreement funding instrument, with the activity category listed under natural resources. The notice indicates an expectation of one award. While the estimated total funding amount is listed as 0 (often meaning the amount was not specified in the public synopsis or would be determined later), the scope described covers potentially substantial engineering, permitting, and construction oversight work depending on the final recommended approach. No cost sharing or matching requirement is stated. Eligibility is described as unrestricted, meaning it is broadly open to different types of applicants as long as any additional eligibility clarifications in the full announcement are met.
For applicants needing help accessing the full announcement, the listed point of contact is Denise Wilson, Contracting Officer, at 202-685-0400.

Where will the project take place?
The work is located at Range Station 21 at Muses Beach in Westmoreland County, Virginia.
Which agency is offering this award?
The offering agency is the Department of Defense, U.S. Navy.
What type of funding instrument is being used?
The instrument is a cooperative agreement.
Is this a discretionary or mandatory grant opportunity?
It is listed as a discretionary opportunity.
What activity category does this opportunity fall under?
The activity category is listed as natural resources.
What problem is the Navy trying to solve at the site?
The notice describes storm-related damage to an existing access road and ongoing shoreline erosion at the site. The intent is to prevent continued erosion and storm impacts from threatening the road and the Navy range monitoring station.
What are the broader outcomes or benefits described?
In addition to protecting infrastructure needed for military operations at NSF Dahlgren, the project is framed as supporting environmental goals by improving water quality conditions in the Potomac River and the Chesapeake Bay through erosion control and shoreline management.
How is the work structured?
The work is structured in phases with a clear decision point. Phase 1 is a reassessment of an existing preliminary engineering evaluation. After Phase 1, the Navy may (but is not required to) proceed with adopting the engineering recommendations and moving into design and construction-related activities.
What happens in Phase 1?
Phase 1 is a reassessment of an existing preliminary engineering evaluation. The selected cooperator would review prior engineering assumptions and site information, confirm current conditions, refine the likely project scope, and provide an updated, realistic construction cost estimate.
Why is the reassessment phase important?
The reassessment is intended to give the Navy enough confidence in what should be built and what it is likely to cost before committing to full implementation.
Is Phase 2 guaranteed after the reassessment?
No. The Navy may choose to proceed after the reassessment phase, but it is not required to do so.
What work is anticipated if the Navy decides to proceed after Phase 1?
If the Navy elects to proceed, the agreement anticipates the cooperator completing the design for road restoration and shoreline stabilization features and, once all required permits, approvals, and authorizations are secured, arranging for and overseeing construction.
Does the cooperator handle permitting and approvals?
The summary indicates that construction would occur only after all required permits, approvals, and authorizations are secured. It also implies the cooperator is responsible for managing the sequence from permitting through construction management and project oversight if the Navy proceeds beyond the reassessment phase.
What kinds of shoreline stabilization measures are expected?
The summary does not spell out specific shoreline stabilization structures or methods. It emphasizes measures that reduce erosion and protect the access corridor and the monitoring station while aligning with water quality and sediment control benefits for nearby waters.
What infrastructure is the project intended to protect?
The project is intended to protect the existing access road serving the beach area and the Navy range monitoring station at Range Station 21.
How many awards does the notice expect to make?
The notice indicates an expectation of one award.
Who is eligible to apply?
Eligibility is described as unrestricted, meaning it is broadly open to different types of applicants, subject to any additional eligibility clarifications that may be included in the full announcement.
