Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number N40080 12 LTC 0005) was issued by the Department of Defense as a discretionary funding opportunity using a cooperative agreement instrument, categorized under natural resources. The project focuses on a very specific, high-priority coastal protection need at Naval Air Station Patuxent River, specifically the Point Lookout Theodolite Tracking Station. The core purpose is to carry out shoreline erosion control and habitat restoration along 216 linear feet of shoreline immediately adjacent to the tracking station, where ongoing erosion is threatening the stability of the shore and, by extension, the integrity of nearby facilities.
The work described centers on repairing and stabilizing an existing armored rock shoreline that has already degraded as portions of the protective rock have eroded away. The proposed solution is to rebuild the protective edge using larger armor rock, which is intended to better withstand wave energy, storm surge, and day-to-day tidal forces than the remaining or previously placed material. By restoring this hardened shoreline protection, the project aims to prevent further loss of land, reduce the likelihood of the shoreline being undermined, and protect existing infrastructure from settlement or collapse caused by erosion at the toe of the shoreline.
A key theme of the announcement is operational risk. The agency indicates that, without timely repair, normal natural erosion processes are expected to continue to the point that within roughly five years the site could lose its ability to support the NAVAIR mission. In practical terms, that means erosion is not just an environmental concern here; it is framed as a direct threat to mission continuity and facility reliability. The announcement also emphasizes that major storm events are a critical accelerating factor. Any future tropical storm or hurricane affecting the Chesapeake Bay area could rapidly worsen erosion, increasing the near-term likelihood of structural damage and creating an immediate risk to the station's operational capability.
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity anticipated a single award and stated no cost sharing or matching requirement. Eligibility was listed as unrestricted, meaning it was open to any type of entity as allowed by the full announcement text and any eligibility clarifications contained in the official posting. The listing included CFDA 12.300 (Basic and Applied Scientific Research), even though the described work is strongly implementation-focused and oriented around shoreline stabilization and habitat restoration outcomes. The opportunity was posted on August 8, 2012, with an original and final closing date of September 5, 2012, and it was archived on October 5, 2012. The public notice did not specify estimated total funding, nor did it provide an award ceiling or floor in the summary fields (each was shown as 0), which typically indicates that the dollar values were either provided elsewhere in the full announcement or not included in the synopsis record.
For access issues related to the full announcement, the contact listed was Denise Wilson, Contracting Officer, reachable by phone at 202-685-0400.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What is the funding opportunity number for this grant?
The Funding Opportunity Number is N40080 12 LTC 0005.
Which federal agency issued this opportunity?
This opportunity was issued by the Department of Defense.
What type of funding instrument is being used?
The opportunity uses a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument.
Is this a discretionary or formula-based opportunity?
It was described as a discretionary funding opportunity.
How is the opportunity categorized?
It was categorized under natural resources.
What is the primary purpose of the project?
The core purpose is shoreline erosion control and habitat restoration to address a high-priority coastal protection need at Naval Air Station Patuxent River, specifically at the Point Lookout Theodolite Tracking Station.
Where will the work take place?
The work is located at Naval Air Station Patuxent River, at the Point Lookout Theodolite Tracking Station, along shoreline immediately adjacent to the tracking station.
How much shoreline is included in the scope?
The project targets 216 linear feet of shoreline.
What problem is this project trying to solve?
Ongoing shoreline erosion is threatening the stability of the shore and the integrity of nearby facilities. Portions of an existing armored rock shoreline have degraded as protective rock has eroded away.
What is the planned technical approach?
The described approach is to repair and stabilize the existing armored rock shoreline by rebuilding the protective edge using larger armor rock intended to better withstand wave energy, storm surge, and daily tidal forces.
Is the project building a new shoreline structure or repairing an existing one?
It is focused on repairing and stabilizing an existing armored rock shoreline that has degraded over time.
Why does the announcement emphasize larger armor rock?
The announcement indicates larger armor rock is intended to be more resilient than remaining or previously placed material, helping it withstand wave action, storm surge, and regular tidal forces.
How does the project relate to facility protection?
By restoring hardened shoreline protection, the project aims to prevent further land loss, reduce the chance of the shoreline being undermined, and protect existing infrastructure from settlement or collapse caused by erosion at the toe of the shoreline.
Why is this considered a high-priority need?
The notice frames the erosion issue as an operational risk, stating that without timely repair, ongoing natural erosion is expected to continue and could compromise the site’s ability to support the NAVAIR mission within roughly five years.
What operational risks are identified if the work is not performed?
The notice indicates erosion could progress to the point that the site could lose its ability to support the NAVAIR mission within about five years, making it a threat to mission continuity and facility reliability.
How do storms factor into the urgency of the project?
Major storm events are described as a critical accelerating factor. A future tropical storm or hurricane affecting the Chesapeake Bay area could rapidly worsen erosion, increase the near-term likelihood of structural damage, and create an immediate risk to operational capability.
How many awards were anticipated?
The opportunity anticipated a single award.
Is cost sharing or matching required?
No cost sharing or matching requirement was stated.
Who is eligible to apply?
Eligibility was listed as unrestricted, meaning it was open to any type of entity as allowed by the full announcement and any eligibility clarifications in the official posting.
What CFDA number is associated with this opportunity?
The listing included CFDA 12.300 (Basic and Applied Scientific Research).
Does the CFDA classification match the described project activities?
The summary notes that CFDA 12.300 is listed even though the described work is strongly implementation-focused and oriented around shoreline stabilization and habitat restoration outcomes.
When was the opportunity posted?
The opportunity was posted on August 8, 2012.
What was the application deadline?
The original and final closing date was September 5, 2012.
When was the opportunity archived?
It was archived on October 5, 2012.
Was the estimated total funding amount provided in the public summary?
No. The public notice did not specify an estimated total funding amount in the summary fields.
Were an award ceiling or award floor provided in the public summary?
No. The award ceiling and floor were shown as 0 in the summary fields, which typically suggests the dollar values were provided elsewhere in the full announcement or not included in the synopsis record.
Who can be contacted for issues accessing the full announcement?
The listed contact for access issues was Denise Wilson, Contracting Officer.
What contact information was provided?
Denise Wilson can be reached by phone at 202-685-0400.
Is the work tied to any specific military mission?
Yes. The notice states that continued erosion could affect the site’s ability to support the NAVAIR mission.
What specific facility is highlighted as being at risk?
The Point Lookout Theodolite Tracking Station is specifically identified, with erosion threatening shoreline stability adjacent to the station and the integrity of nearby facilities.
