Opportunity Summary:
The "Upper Delaware River Stream Habitat Restoration Project" (Funding Opportunity Number F15AS00120) is a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) cooperative agreement tied to the Department of the Interior's Natural Resource Damage Assessment and Restoration (NRDAR) mission. In plain terms, the funding is meant to help carry out restoration work that addresses natural resource injuries and supports the federal government responsibilities to assess damage and implement restoration actions. The project focus is on stream habitat restoration within the East Branch of the Upper Delaware River and its tributaries, with an overall goal for the selected cooperator to restore roughly one mile of stream habitat.
This notice is not a typical open, competitive grant solicitation. It is explicitly labeled as a "Notice of Intent to Award to a Single Source," and it states multiple times that there is no full announcement associated with the notice. That means the agency is signaling its plan to make one award to a specific, intended recipient rather than soliciting proposals broadly. The opportunity is listed as discretionary, uses a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument (which generally implies substantial federal involvement or coordination during the project), and anticipates only one award.
Financially, the opportunity is structured as a fixed amount: the estimated total funding is $100,000, with an award floor and ceiling both set at $100,000. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement indicated, so the recipient would not be expected to provide a required match as a condition of the award. The activity category is Natural Resources, and the CFDA number associated with the program is 15.658 (Natural Resource Damage Assessment, Restoration and Implementation).
Eligibility is limited to nonprofits with IRS 501(c)(3) status, excluding institutions of higher education. The posting date and creation date are March 3, 2015, with an original and current closing date of March 9, 2015, and an archive date of March 10, 2015, reflecting a short window typical of a single-source intent notice rather than an open competition.
For reference or administrative questions, the notice points users to Grants.gov for additional information and provides a contact: Artela Jacobs, Contract Specialist, at 404-679-7197 and ArtelaJacobs@fws.gov (also listed as artelajacobs@fws.gov).
