Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number F13AS00062) is a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) funding action under the Central Valley Project Improvement Act (CVPI) Anadromous Fish Restoration Program (AFRP), focused on improving habitat for juvenile salmonids in the Stanislaus River at the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Knights Ferry Recreation Area in Knights Ferry, California. The work centers on restoring floodplain and side-channel rearing habitat, which are the kinds of lower-velocity, more complex river environments young salmon and steelhead often rely on for feeding, growth, and shelter during key life stages.
The AFRP plans to provide a total of $221,000 to Cramer Fish Sciences (CFS) to carry out the assessment, permitting, and design steps needed to move the habitat restoration project forward. In practical terms, this funding is meant to support the front-end work that has to happen before construction or on-the-ground restoration can proceed: evaluating existing site conditions, completing engineering and survey work, developing and refining restoration designs, and securing the necessary permits. The award also covers public scoping and outreach, along with pre-project monitoring, which helps establish baseline conditions so future habitat and fish response can be measured against what existed before the project is implemented.
A key feature of this opportunity is that it is intended as a single-source grant, meaning USFWS plans to award it to one specific recipient rather than running a competitive process among multiple applicants. The stated reason is continuity: CFS is already conducting related work for this project, including project management and early design development, and USFWS wants to maintain momentum and consistency by keeping the same team in place as the project advances through assessment, permitting, and final design. AFRP will remain involved by providing technical expertise throughout all phases of the project, not just during the period covered by this particular grant action.
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity is categorized as a discretionary grant in the natural resources activity area, with an expected number of awards listed as one. The award ceiling and award floor are both $221,000, indicating the planned grant amount is fixed rather than a range. No cost sharing or matching funds are required. The eligible applicant category is small businesses, which aligns with CFS as the intended recipient. The announcement was posted and created on January 28, 2013, with an original and current closing date of February 12, 2013, and an archive date of February 28, 2013.
