Opportunity Information: Apply for F18AS00128
The Maankiki Marsh and Ferguson Bayou Re-Connection Phase 2a funding opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number F18AS00128) is a discretionary grant offered by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Fish and Wildlife Service, through Shiawassee National Wildlife Refuge. It is being awarded as a cooperative agreement, which generally means the selected recipient will coordinate closely with the Service during project delivery rather than operating entirely independently. The program is listed under CFDA 15.662 and falls within the Environment and Natural Resources activity category.
The project itself is focused on construction management services tied to a specific set of on-the-ground restoration and infrastructure tasks at or associated with Maankiki Marsh. The Service is seeking an applicant to manage construction for two connected scopes of work: first, the construction of Maankiki marsh protection berms, and second, the removal of the Pool 3 and Pool 5 dike. A key practical feature of the design is material reuse: soil or fill from the Pool 3 and Pool 5 dike removal, along with peripheral borrow material from Maankiki Marsh, will be repurposed to build the protective berms. In other words, the work is structured to remove existing dike features and then use that recovered material (plus locally sourced borrow within the marsh area) to form berms intended to protect or stabilize marsh conditions as part of the broader reconnection effort.
From an implementation standpoint, the opportunity is framed to be "shovel-ready" in the sense that the Service states the project has already been designed and that all required local, state, and federal permits have been secured by the agency. That reduces uncertainty for the awardee and shifts the emphasis toward effective construction management, coordination, sequencing, and oversight to carry the permitted design through to completion. The selected partner would be expected to manage the construction process for berm building and dike removal, including typical responsibilities associated with construction management on environmental/civil works projects (such as coordinating contractors and schedules, managing compliance with permit conditions and specifications, tracking progress, and supporting quality and safety expectations), consistent with the cooperative agreement relationship.
Eligibility is broad and includes many public, nonprofit, academic, tribal, and private-sector entities. Specifically eligible applicants include county governments; city or township governments; special district governments; independent school districts; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education; private institutions of higher education; federally recognized Native American tribal governments; other Native American tribal organizations; nonprofits with or without 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education in those nonprofit categories); individuals; and for-profit organizations other than small businesses. The wide eligibility suggests the Service was open to a range of potential construction management providers and partners, from governmental or quasi-governmental entities to nonprofits and private firms that can credibly manage this kind of field construction work.
The funding parameters indicate an award ceiling of $500,000 and an expectation of a single award. The opportunity was created on April 27, 2018, with an original application deadline of June 27, 2018. Overall, the grant is a targeted, single-award cooperative agreement aimed at delivering a specific, already-permitted construction package that supports marsh protection and hydrologic or habitat reconnection objectives through berm construction and removal of existing dike structures at Shiawassee National Wildlife Refuge.Apply for F18AS00128
