Opportunity Information: Apply for F19AS00313
The Eastwood Drain Survey and Drainage Study (Funding Opportunity Number F19AS00313) is a Department of the Interior, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service notice of intent to make a single-source cooperative agreement award for work in Saginaw County, Michigan. The project focuses on completing a land survey and a drainage study for the Eastwood Drain, with particular attention to the segment that intersects or affects the Shiawassee National Wildlife Refuge. The opportunity sits in the Environment and Natural Resources funding area (CFDA 15.654) and is structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning the Fish and Wildlife Service expects to be actively involved in key parts of the work rather than serving only as a pass-through funder.
This award is explicitly non-competitive. Instead of soliciting applications, the Service issued the notice to document its intent to award directly to the Saginaw County Public Works Commission (SCPWC) under justification 505DM 2.14.B.(4). The reasoning is that competition is considered impractical because SCPWC is the local governmental entity with the legal authority to conduct work on county drains in Saginaw County. In addition to that statutory authority, SCPWC is described as uniquely qualified because it already manages county drainage infrastructure, has extensive experience in surveying, design, and engineering for county drainage systems, and holds the access easements needed to work on county drain-owned lands. Those factors are presented as the main basis for why another organization could not realistically perform the same work in a comparable way.
The scope of the effort is aimed at generating reliable survey data and drainage analysis that can support decisions about potential alternatives for the Eastwood Drain, including possible re-routing options. A central objective highlighted in the notice is developing and evaluating design concepts that would allow the portion of the drain running through the Refuge to be abandoned, presumably to reduce impacts on refuge resources while still addressing drainage district needs. Because this is a cooperative agreement, the Fish and Wildlife Service plans to remain substantially involved throughout the project. That involvement includes providing existing Service-owned land survey files for the Eastwood Drain within the Shiawassee NWR boundary, working directly with SCPWC engineering and survey staff to interpret survey results from areas outside the refuge, and collaborating on any re-routing design plans that could enable abandonment of the refuge segment.
Coordination with stakeholders is also built into the approach. The Service commits to participating in an in-person meeting with SCPWC and private landowners within the Eastwood Drainage District to discuss options for re-routing the drain and discontinuing the portion that crosses the refuge. This indicates the work is not only technical but also involves practical planning and communication among the county agency, federal land managers, and affected property owners who have interests in drainage function and land management outcomes.
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity was created on July 23, 2019, with an original closing date of July 30, 2019, but it is clear the closing date is not tied to a typical application window because the announcement states there is no application process. The expected number of awards is one, and the funding ceiling is $45,000. The eligible applicant category is listed broadly as "Others" with additional eligibility details referenced, but the notice itself makes clear the intended recipient is SCPWC as the single-source awardee.Apply for F19AS00313
