Opportunity Summary:
The South Shore Park Migratory Bird Habitat Enhancement opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number F12AS00260) is a discretionary cooperative agreement offered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service under the Natural Resources activity category. The project focuses on improving Lake Michigan coastal habitat at South Shore Park in Chicago (Cook County, Illinois), specifically to benefit migratory birds that use this shoreline area during migration. The core on-the-ground work described is straightforward habitat restoration: removing invasive plant species and planting native shrubs to improve habitat quality and ecological function along the lakefront.
Funding for this effort is tied to the Great Lakes Restoration program (CFDA 15.662). The announcement lists an estimated total funding amount of $27,000, with an award ceiling of $27,000 and no stated minimum award amount (award floor of $0). Only one award is expected. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning the recipient is not required to provide non-federal match funds as a condition of the award.
A key detail is that this is not an open competitive grant round. The notice states there is no application process because the agency intends to make a single-source award to the Chicago Park District. The single-source approach is justified under Department of the Interior authority cited as 505 DM 2.14B(4). In practice, that means other organizations are not being solicited to apply, even though the eligible applicants field generally indicates "Others" with additional eligibility language referenced in the full announcement.
The opportunity was posted and created on June 26, 2012, and archived on July 4, 2012. No closing date is provided (original and current closing dates are listed as not available), which aligns with the notice-of-intent nature of the posting rather than a standard application-based competition. For assistance obtaining the full announcement, the listed agency contact is Michael Redmer at the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (847-381-2253 ext. 16, MichaelRedmer@fws.gov).
