Opportunity Summary:
The Shattuck NRDAR Urban Corridor Restoration - Overland Pond Park Project is a Fish and Wildlife Service discretionary funding opportunity offered as a cooperative agreement under CFDA 15.658 (Natural Resource Damage Assessment, Restoration and Implementation). It is a continuation award made under the authority 505 DM 2.14B(2) and is tied directly to restoration obligations associated with hazardous substance releases from the Shattuck Superfund site. The overall purpose is to provide financial assistance to restore, rehabilitate, replace, or acquire the equivalent of trust resources, specifically migratory birds and the habitats they depend on, that were injured or destroyed by contamination. The work is intended to meet the requirements of a Consent Decree as well as applicable federal and state laws and regulations governing natural resource damage restoration.
The project focuses on implementing restoration actions at Overland Pond Park in Denver, Colorado, in the South Platte River corridor. The core on-the-ground work emphasizes improving habitat conditions for migratory birds by restoring native plant communities around Overland Pond and within the nearby South Platte River riparian habitat. In addition to ecological restoration, the project includes park improvements designed to expand education and outreach, with an emphasis on migratory birds. Volunteer involvement is also built into the project approach, both to strengthen community participation and to support restoration implementation through organized stewardship activities.
This award is structured as a single-source agreement intended specifically for The Greenway Foundation, Inc., a 501(c)(3) nonprofit with longstanding ties to the South Platte River and more than two decades of experience working at Overland Pond Park. The Greenway Foundation helped design and implement the original Overland Pond Park plan and has participated in numerous major trail and park initiatives across Denver. Under this cooperative agreement, the organization is expected to provide overall management, supervision, and coordination for the project, and to serve as the project lead on behalf of Denver Parks and Recreation, which is identified as the landowner.
Funding details indicate one expected award with an estimated total funding amount of up to $120,000, with an award floor of $100,000 and a ceiling of $120,000. Although the listing field for cost sharing or matching is shown as "No," the narrative requirement is explicit that matching funds are required, including in-kind contributions, and that the match must be not less than $100,000. The opportunity was posted June 17, 2010, with an original and current closing date of June 18, 2010, and an archive date of July 18, 2010, reflecting that it is an older, already-posted continuation action rather than an open competitive solicitation.
For access or administrative questions related to the announcement, the listed contact is Andrea Meyer, Grants Management Specialist, at 303-236-5412 (email referenced but not provided in the text shown).
