Opportunity Information: Apply for EPA R3 CBP 18 02
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), through its Chesapeake Bay Program Office (CBPO), released a Fiscal Year 2018 Request for Proposals (RFP) seeking organizations that can deliver geospatial analysis and related technical support to help Chesapeake Bay Program (CBP) partners carry out the 2014 Chesapeake Bay Watershed Agreement. The core purpose of the opportunity is to strengthen targeted, data-driven implementation across the watershed by using mapping, spatial analytics, and decision-support tools to identify where actions will have the greatest impact and to help partners track progress toward the Agreement's goals and outcomes.
This RFP is focused on practical, implementation-oriented geospatial support rather than general research. Applicants are expected to propose services that help jurisdictions and other non-federal partners apply spatial information to plan and prioritize nutrient and sediment reduction work. A key emphasis is supporting Phase III Watershed Implementation Plans (WIPs) developed by the Chesapeake Bay jurisdictions. In plain terms, the funding is meant to improve how partners choose the most cost-effective and efficient actions, target them to the right places on the landscape, and accelerate improvements in water quality and ecosystem restoration throughout the Chesapeake Bay and its watershed.
While the Chesapeake Bay Program partnership includes federal agencies, state and local governments, and many non-federal organizations, the work funded under this RFP is intended to support the seven watershed jurisdictions and other non-federal partners specifically. The seven jurisdictions named in the announcement are Delaware, the District of Columbia, Maryland, New York, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and West Virginia. The idea is that better geospatial analysis capacity across these jurisdictions will translate into better targeting of best management practices and restoration actions that reduce nutrient and sediment pollution, which are central drivers of Chesapeake Bay impairment.
From an administrative standpoint, this is a discretionary funding opportunity offered as a cooperative agreement, meaning EPA expects to have substantial involvement during the project rather than acting only as a pass-through funder. The opportunity is categorized under environmental assistance and is listed under CFDA number 66.466. The funding opportunity number is EPA R3 CBP 18 02. The maximum award amount (award ceiling) is listed as $3,900,000, and EPA anticipated making about four awards under this competition, indicating that projects could be sizable and that EPA intended to fund a small set of providers capable of supporting multiple partners or delivering robust regional capability.
Eligibility is not limited to a single applicant type in the summary provided, and it is described broadly as "Others" with additional eligibility details referenced in the full announcement. That typically signals that a range of organizations may be able to apply, depending on the specific eligibility language in Section IV of the RFP, which also contains the detailed submission instructions. The opportunity was created on February 13, 2018, and the original closing date was April 16, 2018, with applicants directed to the full announcement for any additional submission requirements or clarifications.Apply for EPA R3 CBP 18 02
