Opportunity Information: Apply for N40080 21 2 0005
This funding opportunity, titled "Shoreline Stabilization, NSA Annapolis, MD" (Funding Opportunity Number N40080 21 2 0005), is a Navy-led cooperative agreement administered by NAVFAC Washington DC under the Department of Defense. It supports natural resource work focused on shoreline stabilization and habitat restoration at Naval Support Activity (NSA) Annapolis along Carr Creek, with an emphasis on addressing erosion, repairing shoreline structure, and improving riparian conditions. The opportunity was posted on July 8, 2021, with an original application deadline of August 24, 2021, and it anticipates a single award with a maximum funding level (award ceiling) of $358,020.
The core purpose of the agreement is twofold: first, to complete design and secure all required permits for shoreline stabilization measures at several identified shoreline segments referred to as Reach E, Reach E1, Reach G, and Reach P; and second, to construct shoreline stabilization improvements for approximately 115 linear feet specifically at Reach E1. The construction portion is intended to deliver direct structural repairs and erosion prevention along that short segment of shoreline. While the design and permitting effort covers multiple reaches, the Navy retains discretion to decide whether to exercise options that would extend construction beyond Reach E1 to include Reach E, Reach G, and Reach P. In practice, that means an applicant should be prepared to support a broader program of work on paper (design and permitting) while recognizing that only a defined portion of construction is guaranteed under the base effort, with additional construction potentially added later depending on Navy decisions.
A significant component of the scope involves wetlands work at Greenbury Point. The agreement requires a wetland verification and delineation effort that includes reviewing existing mapped wetlands and conducting a walk-through field verification to identify any changes in wetland characteristics since prior mapping. This task is meant to ground-truth current conditions so that shoreline designs and construction plans align with present-day wetland boundaries and regulatory requirements. The opportunity notes that a wetland Jurisdictional Determination for Greenbury Point was last conducted in 2013, so the verification work functions as an update check to confirm whether wetland extent or characteristics have shifted since that earlier determination.
The shoreline stabilization approach described in the notice emphasizes restoration-oriented, erosion-control techniques that also enhance habitat. The work is expected to include shoreline erosion control measures combined with native species plantings to restore riparian habitat while improving shoreline resilience. The goal is not simply to harden the shoreline, but to implement measures that reduce erosion and improve ecological function, while still ensuring structural stability along the targeted shoreline segments.
The selected cooperator is responsible for obtaining all necessary permits at the federal, state, and local levels to enable construction and implementation. The notice specifically references nature-based or hybrid shoreline features such as log sills, rock sills, log toe protection, and marsh creation options, indicating that the project may use a combination of living shoreline techniques and structural elements to achieve long-term integrity of the shoreline at Carr Creek. Because permitting can be complex for shoreline and wetland-adjacent work, the agreement places clear responsibility on the awardee to navigate the regulatory process and secure approvals needed to implement the selected stabilization design.
The opportunity also points to prior environmental planning and technical groundwork already completed for the broader shoreline system at NSA Annapolis. It references an Environmental Assessment (EA) completed in August 2015 covering the entire proposed 28,000 linear feet of stabilization, as well as a 2013 supplemental report titled "Carr Creek Shoreline Survey and Riparian Habitat Restoration Design Report." These documents indicate that the Navy has already invested in baseline assessment and planning at a larger scale, and the new cooperative agreement is positioned to advance specific reaches from planning into updated verification, design, permitting, and near-term construction, starting with the defined 115-linear-foot section of Reach E1.
In summary, this is a single-award, discretionary cooperative agreement focused on advancing a shoreline stabilization and habitat restoration project at NSA Annapolis. The award supports design and permitting for multiple shoreline reaches, mandates wetland verification work at Greenbury Point, and funds immediate construction for a limited segment at Reach E1, with the possibility of additional construction work on other reaches if the Navy elects to exercise options. The project is framed around reducing erosion, improving shoreline structural stability, and restoring riparian habitat using erosion control measures, native plantings, and potential living shoreline elements such as sills, toe protection, and marsh creation, all implemented under appropriate regulatory permits.Apply for N40080 21 2 0005

What are the two core purposes of the cooperative agreement?
The agreement has two primary purposes: (1) complete design and secure all required permits for shoreline stabilization measures at multiple shoreline segments, and (2) construct shoreline stabilization improvements for approximately 115 linear feet at Reach E1.
Which shoreline segments (reaches) are included in the design and permitting work?
Design and permitting are to be completed for Reach E, Reach E1, Reach G, and Reach P.
Which shoreline segment is guaranteed for construction under the base effort?
