Opportunity Summary:
The Shoreline Restoration at Navy Recreation Center Solomons, Solomons, MD opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number N40080 15 2 0013) is a discretionary federal funding announcement issued by the Naval Facilities Engineering Command (NAVFAC). It was offered as a Cooperative Agreement, meaning the government anticipated being actively involved during the project rather than simply issuing a grant with minimal interaction. The project sits in the environmental activity area and is associated with CFDA 12.300, Basic and Applied Scientific Research. No cost sharing or matching was required, and eligibility was listed as unrestricted, effectively open to a wide range of applicant types unless otherwise limited by any additional eligibility language in the full announcement.
The main goal of the cooperative agreement is to stabilize roughly 820 linear feet of shoreline along the Patuxent River on the northern face of the Navy Recreation Center (NRC) Solomons in Maryland. A key element of the approach is replenishing sand that naturally supplies, or "feeds," the historic Point Patience spit, which is a notable coastal feature in the area. By restoring sediment supply and improving shoreline stability, the project is intended to reduce erosion pressures and support the broader shoreline system rather than treating the site as an isolated segment.
Beyond erosion control, the project is framed as delivering environmental benefits, especially habitat enhancement and improvements to nearshore water quality. Those benefits are expected to extend from the immediate shoreline at NRC Solomons into the Patuxent River and ultimately contribute to Chesapeake Bay outcomes, which is consistent with regional priorities around sediment control, shoreline habitat, and bay water quality. In practical terms, stabilizing shorelines and managing sediment movement can help reduce turbidity and sedimentation impacts in shallow waters, while restored shoreline features can provide or improve habitat conditions for fish, invertebrates, and birds that rely on nearshore environments.
A strong emphasis of the opportunity is measurement and documentation of results. Before any on-the-ground implementation occurs, the awardee is required to conduct a baseline survey to establish pre-project conditions along the full 820 linear feet. This baseline assessment is meant to serve as the reference point for evaluating whether the restoration and stabilization work achieved its intended effects. After the baseline survey is completed, the recipient must produce a preliminary report summarizing baseline conditions and initial findings. That preliminary report is not treated as an endpoint; it is specifically described as an input into a final restoration assessment report that compares "before and after" conditions, allowing the Navy to judge effectiveness and capture lessons learned.
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity was posted July 22, 2015, created August 4, 2015, and had an original and final closing date of August 24, 2015, with archiving on August 25, 2015. The listed point of contact for access issues was Chelsea Inman, Contract Specialist, at 202-685-3308. Overall, the announcement centers on a defined shoreline stabilization and sand replenishment effort coupled with a structured monitoring and reporting plan designed to document ecological and water quality outcomes in a sensitive Chesapeake Bay tributary setting.

What is the Funding Opportunity Number?
The Funding Opportunity Number (FON) is N40080 15 2 0013.
Which federal agency issued this announcement?
The announcement was issued by the Naval Facilities Engineering Command (NAVFAC).
Is this a grant or a cooperative agreement?
It was offered as a Cooperative Agreement, which indicates the government expected to be actively involved during the project rather than issuing funding with minimal interaction.
What is the primary purpose of the project?
The primary purpose is to stabilize approximately 820 linear feet of shoreline along the Patuxent River on the northern face of the Navy Recreation Center (NRC) Solomons in Maryland.
Where will the work take place?
The project site is at the Navy Recreation Center (NRC) Solomons in Solomons, Maryland, along the Patuxent River.
How much shoreline is included in the project scope?
The scope includes roughly 820 linear feet of shoreline.
What approach does the opportunity emphasize for shoreline stabilization?
A key element is replenishing sand that naturally supplies (or "feeds") the historic Point Patience spit, supporting shoreline stability by restoring sediment supply and addressing erosion pressures as part of a broader shoreline system.
What is Point Patience spit and why is it referenced?
Point Patience spit is described as a historic and notable coastal feature in the area. The project emphasizes replenishing sand that helps feed this feature as part of restoring natural sediment dynamics.
Is the project framed only as erosion control?
No. In addition to erosion control and shoreline stabilization, the project is framed as delivering environmental benefits such as habitat enhancement and improvements to nearshore water quality.
What kinds of environmental benefits are expected?
Expected benefits include habitat enhancement and nearshore water quality improvements. The announcement notes these benefits may extend from the NRC Solomons shoreline into the Patuxent River and ultimately contribute to Chesapeake Bay outcomes, aligning with priorities related to sediment control, shoreline habitat, and bay water quality.
How does shoreline stabilization relate to water quality in this opportunity?
The opportunity describes stabilizing shorelines and managing sediment movement as measures that can help reduce turbidity and sedimentation impacts in shallow waters, supporting nearshore water quality goals.
Does the opportunity emphasize monitoring and measuring outcomes?
Yes. A strong emphasis is placed on measurement and documentation of results through baseline surveying and reporting that supports a "before and after" comparison.
What is required before any on-the-ground implementation occurs?
Before implementation, the awardee must conduct a baseline survey to establish pre-project conditions along the full 820 linear feet.
What is the baseline survey used for?
The baseline assessment is intended to serve as the reference point for evaluating whether the restoration and stabilization work achieved its intended effects.
Is there a report required after the baseline survey?
Yes. After the baseline survey is completed, the recipient must produce a preliminary report summarizing baseline conditions and initial findings.
Is the preliminary report the final deliverable?
No. The preliminary report is described as an input into a final restoration assessment report that compares before-and-after conditions so the Navy can judge effectiveness and capture lessons learned.
What is the purpose of the final restoration assessment report?
The final restoration assessment report is intended to compare pre-project and post-project conditions, helping the Navy evaluate effectiveness and document lessons learned from the restoration and stabilization effort.
What is the activity area associated with this opportunity?
The opportunity sits in the environmental activity area.
What CFDA program is associated with this opportunity?
It is associated with CFDA 12.300, Basic and Applied Scientific Research.
