Opportunity Summary:
The South Fork Cottonwood Ck Fish Passage Improvement, Phase One opportunity is a discretionary federal funding announcement from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), administered through the Anadromous Fish Restoration Program (AFRP) under CFDA 15.648 (Central Valley Project Improvement Act Anadromous Fish Restoration Program). The project focuses on South Fork Cottonwood Creek and targets fish passage problems at the Hammer Camp Diversion Dam. The central purpose is to begin restoring access to upstream habitat in support of Chinook salmon and steelhead populations by determining the best passage improvement approach and producing the initial engineering work needed to move the project forward.
Phase 1 funding is intended specifically for an alternatives analysis and engineering design of fish passage improvement options at the diversion dam. In practical terms, the applicant would be expected to evaluate possible solutions (for example, different structural or operational approaches to improving passage) and develop the engineering concepts and designs that can guide later permitting, final design, and construction. This Phase 1 work is framed as the first step in a larger, multi-phase effort, with later phases envisioned as Phase 2 (final design plus environmental compliance documents and permits), Phase 3 (on-the-ground implementation or construction), and Phase 4 (monitoring to assess effectiveness). While only Phase 1 is funded under this announcement, the agency notes that additional funds for later phases may be added in the future if they become available.
The Red Bluff Fish and Wildlife Office anticipated a single award, with an estimated total of up to $80,000 available for Phase 1. The notice lists the award floor and ceiling both at $80,000, indicating the project was structured around a fixed Phase 1 budget amount. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement stated for applicants. The funding instrument is listed as a cooperative agreement, meaning the USFWS typically expects to have substantial involvement in the project beyond simply issuing funds, such as coordination on technical direction, review of deliverables, or collaboration on decisions during the work.
Eligibility is described as unrestricted, meaning proposals were open to any type of entity, subject to any additional clarifications that may have appeared in the full announcement. The funding activity category is natural resources, and the successful applicant would receive financial assistance through a grant-style agreement.
The timeline in the announcement places the anticipated project start in Fiscal Year 2012, with work potentially beginning as early as August 2012. Proposals submitted under the request were stated to remain valid through September 30, 2013. The opportunity was originally posted March 1, 2012, with key dates showing an original closing date of March 30, 2012 and a revised/current closing date of April 9, 2012, followed by an archive date of April 29, 2012. The broader effort, spanning multiple phases, was expected to be completed by August 31, 2017.
For applicant questions or help accessing the full announcement, the listed point of contact was Tricia Parker Hamelberg, Fish Biologist at the USFWS, reachable at 530-527-3043 or TriciaParker@fws.gov. The opportunity identifier is Funding Opportunity Number AFRP N 12 1, and the title is South Fork Cottonwood Ck Fish Passage Improvement, Phase One.
