Opportunity Summary:
The Tybee Island beach re nourishment project (Funding Opportunity Number F14AS00430) is a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service discretionary grant action focused on supporting a beach renourishment effort at Tybee Island by replacing sand to help reduce storm damage. This posting is not a typical competitive grant solicitation. Instead, it is explicitly a Notice of Intent to Award to a single source, meaning there is no full funding announcement and the agency is not requesting or accepting applications. The Service states the decision not to compete the award is allowed under Departmental policy (505 DM 2.14, B.(2)) and is within the agency's discretion.
The intended recipient is the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources. The work is framed within the Natural Resources and Science and Technology/Research and Development activity area and is tied to CFDA 15.608 (Fish and Wildlife Management Assistance). While the physical project involves placing sand to restore or widen the beach for storm damage reduction benefits, the grant description emphasizes environmental monitoring as the key technical component.
The monitoring has two main objectives centered on measuring ecological impacts and recovery associated with the renourishment and the sand source area. First, the project will document impacts and recovery of macrobenthic infaunal communities (bottom-dwelling organisms living within the sediment, visible to the naked eye) and related sediment characteristics in the sand borrow area, along with one reference area used for comparison. Second, it will document impacts and recovery of benthic infaunal communities and sediment characteristics on the renourished beach itself. In practical terms, this means collecting baseline and follow-up data on organisms living in or on the seabed and on sediment conditions (for example, grain size and other physical properties) to understand how dredging/borrowing and sand placement affect habitat and how quickly those conditions return toward pre-project or reference conditions.
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity is categorized as a grant with an expected single award. The estimated total funding amount is $165,057, with no stated award ceiling or floor (both listed as 0, which typically indicates the listing is informational rather than a competitive range). There is no cost sharing or matching requirement. The posting date was September 10, 2014, with an original and current closing date of September 15, 2014, and an archive date of September 9, 2015. Even though the listing shows eligibility as "unrestricted," the text clarifies that this is not a request for applications because it is a single-source intent to award.
