Opportunity Summary:
This Department of Defense grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number N40080 09 LTC 0004) sought partners to develop a Shoreline Management Plan for Marine Corps Base Quantico in Virginia. The work was framed as a planning effort focused on estuarine shorelines, where erosion processes and shoreline protection choices can vary widely depending on local conditions. The central purpose of the agreement was to produce a decision-oriented plan that connects what is happening physically along the shoreline (such as shoreline geometry, bank composition, erosion patterns, and existing conditions) with the hydrodynamic forces acting on it (for example, tides, waves, currents, and storm-driven water levels). By tying those site-specific conditions to the range of available shoreline protection and erosion control strategies, the plan would support clear, defensible management recommendations for different shoreline reaches around the installation.
A key emphasis of the announcement was that the Shoreline Management Plan should directly address common high-risk erosion problems on estuarine banks, especially bank undercutting and the erosion of upland banks. In practical terms, that means the plan was expected to consider where wave or current action is scouring the base of shoreline banks, destabilizing them and leading to slumping or retreat, as well as where higher-elevation soils landward of the immediate bank edge are eroding and contributing sediment or threatening infrastructure and natural resources. The intended outcome was not simply a descriptive report, but a structured planning tool that helps identify the most appropriate shoreline management approach by location, matching specific site drivers and constraints with suitable interventions.
The funding instrument identified was a cooperative agreement, indicating the government anticipated substantial involvement during performance rather than a hands-off grant. The opportunity was categorized under Natural Resources as the funding activity area, and it referenced CFDA 12.300 (Basic and Applied Scientific Research), suggesting the work was expected to be grounded in applied science and technical analysis even though the end product was a management plan. The announcement projected up to three awards, with no cost sharing or matching requirement stated. Eligible applicants were listed as unrestricted, meaning a wide range of organizations could apply (such as universities, nonprofits, private firms, or other entities), subject to any additional eligibility clarifications that may have been provided in the full text of the announcement.
Key dates show it was posted on August 20, 2009, created in the system on August 27, 2009, and closed on September 17, 2009, with an archive date of October 17, 2009. The listing did not specify an estimated total funding amount or award ceiling/floor (all shown as 0), which typically indicates the dollar values were either to be defined in the full solicitation documents or negotiated based on scope, or simply not captured in the summary fields.
For applicants needing access help or clarification, the point of contact 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 (FON) is N40080 09 LTC 0004.
Which federal agency offered this opportunity?
This opportunity was offered by the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD).
What project was the DoD seeking partners to complete?
The DoD sought partners to develop a Shoreline Management Plan for Marine Corps Base Quantico in Virginia.
Where is the project location?
The project focused on Marine Corps Base Quantico, located in Virginia, and specifically on shorelines associated with estuarine conditions around the installation.
What type of shoreline environment did the planning effort focus on?
The work was framed as a planning effort focused on estuarine shorelines, where erosion processes and shoreline protection choices can vary widely depending on local conditions.
What was the central purpose of the Shoreline Management Plan?
The central purpose was to produce a decision-oriented plan that links observed physical shoreline conditions (such as shoreline geometry, bank composition, erosion patterns, and existing conditions) with the hydrodynamic forces acting on the shoreline (such as tides, waves, currents, and storm-driven water levels). The intent was to support clear, defensible shoreline management recommendations for different shoreline reaches around the base.
What kinds of physical shoreline conditions were expected to be addressed?
The announcement highlighted physical conditions including shoreline geometry, bank composition, erosion patterns, and existing conditions along the shoreline.
What hydrodynamic forces were expected to be considered in the plan?
The plan was expected to consider hydrodynamic forces such as tides, waves, currents, and storm-driven water levels, and connect those forces to site-specific shoreline conditions.
How was the plan expected to be used (report vs. decision tool)?
The intended outcome was not simply a descriptive report. It was expected to be a structured planning tool that helps identify the most appropriate shoreline management approach by location, matching site drivers and constraints with suitable shoreline protection and erosion control strategies.
What shoreline erosion problems were specifically emphasized as high-risk?
A key emphasis was that the plan should directly address common high-risk erosion problems on estuarine banks, especially bank undercutting and the erosion of upland banks.
What does "bank undercutting" mean in the context of this opportunity?
In the practical framing provided, bank undercutting refers to situations where wave or current action scours the base of shoreline banks, destabilizing them and leading to slumping or shoreline retreat.
What does "upland bank erosion" mean in the context of this opportunity?
Upland bank erosion, as described in the opportunity, refers to erosion of higher-elevation soils landward of the immediate bank edge. This type of erosion can contribute sediment and may threaten infrastructure and natural resources.
What types of solutions or strategies was the plan expected to evaluate?
The plan was expected to tie site-specific shoreline conditions and hydrodynamic drivers to the range of available shoreline protection and erosion control strategies, so that different shoreline reaches could be matched with suitable interventions.
What was the funding instrument type?
The funding instrument identified was a cooperative agreement.
What does it mean that the instrument was a cooperative agreement?
The listing indicated a cooperative agreement, meaning the government anticipated substantial involvement during performance rather than a hands-off grant.
What was the funding activity area/category for this opportunity?
The opportunity was categorized under Natural Resources as the funding activity area.
What CFDA number was referenced, and what does it indicate?
The opportunity referenced CFDA 12.300 (Basic and Applied Scientific Research). This suggests the work was expected to be grounded in applied science and technical analysis, even though the end product was a shoreline management plan.
How many awards were anticipated?
The announcement projected up to three awards.
Was cost sharing or a matching contribution required?
No cost sharing or matching requirement was stated in the information provided.
Who was eligible to apply?
Eligible applicants were listed as unrestricted, meaning a wide range of organizations could apply (for example, universities, nonprofits, private firms, or other entities), subject to any additional eligibility clarifications that may have been provided in the full announcement.
