Opportunity Summary:
The Sandy Bottom Road Wetland Restoration Project is a discretionary federal funding action by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) to support a specific wetland restoration effort in the Town of Coventry, Rhode Island. This notice is not a standard competitive grant announcement; it is a Notice of Intent to make a single-source award in the form of a Cooperative Agreement. The project is tied directly to natural resource restoration obligations associated with the Picillo Farm Superfund Site, where hazardous substance releases caused injuries to natural resources. A Restoration Plan and Environmental Assessment prepared by FWS in 2008 identified this particular wetland restoration project as an appropriate way to compensate for those injuries.
The award is being issued without competition under Department of the Interior policy (505 DM 2.14 B(4)), which allows a noncompetitive award when the applicant is uniquely qualified. In this case, Coventry is considered uniquely qualified largely because of location and property ownership, meaning the town is in the best position to carry out the work at the specific site. The restoration activity is also being implemented consistent with Consent Decrees issued by the U.S. District Court for the District of Rhode Island, which provide the legal framework for completing restoration connected to the Superfund matter.
The funding instrument is a Cooperative Agreement, which signals that FWS expects to be substantially involved in how the project is carried out rather than simply providing funds and stepping back. The notice states that FWS will provide input, technical assistance, and oversight during restoration implementation and monitoring. Beyond ecological restoration, FWS will also help with development of a recreation trail, suggesting that the project includes a public access or community-use component alongside habitat improvements. The substantial federal involvement is explicitly referenced as being in accordance with 505 DM 2.9 B.
Financially, the opportunity lists a single expected award totaling $144,000, with an award ceiling and floor both set at $144,000, indicating the amount is fixed rather than a range. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement. Eligibility is limited to city or township governments, and the intended recipient for this single-source award is the Town of Coventry, Rhode Island. The opportunity is cataloged under CFDA 15.658 (Natural Resource Damage Assessment, Restoration and Implementation). The notice was posted on September 6, 2011, with an original and current closing date of September 13, 2011, and it was archived on September 14, 2011.
For administrative or access issues related to the announcement materials, the notice provides a contact: Christal Cutler, Grants Officer, at 413-253-8233, identified as the point of contact for electronic errors.
