Opportunity Information: Apply for W912PP2320001
The Mojave River Dam Project - Fence and Barriers opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number W912PP2320001) is a Department of Defense cooperative agreement administered through the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE). It is an environmental stewardship and education-focused program where work is not delivered as one single, fixed scope. Instead, services are assigned through individual task orders as funding becomes available and as on-the-ground project needs and education opportunities arise. For each proposed task order, USACE and the selected recipient jointly review the work to confirm it supports the cooperative agreement's stewardship goals as well as its training and educational objectives.
The practical work supported under this agreement centers on protecting and improving habitat and restoration areas around the Mojave River Dam by reducing damage from unauthorized vehicle access, repairing disturbed ground, and improving overall site management. A major component is restoration barriers, which includes installing fences and other barriers to prevent vehicular intrusion into sensitive restoration zones, repairing and maintaining those installations over time, and routinely monitoring fences, barriers, and gates for damage. Monitoring is not informal; the recipient is expected to report and document damage when it is found so issues can be tracked and addressed systematically.
Task orders may also include active restoration work aimed at improving habitat conditions and restoring impacted areas. This can involve ripping and decompacting soils to reverse compaction from vehicles or heavy use, selectively removing invasive vegetation in habitat areas, and planting and maintaining native seed and nursery stock in restoration sites. The agreement also leaves room for additional restoration support services when requested by USACE, which gives the agency flexibility to respond to emerging needs such as seasonal restoration windows or newly identified problem areas.
Another key deliverable area is GPS monitoring and site documentation. Using GPS units and cameras, the recipient performs site inspections and records environmental concerns, safety issues, and other observations through geotagged photos and coordinates. The recipient then submits maps and written reports documenting environmental, safety, real estate, and infrastructure issues so USACE can plan future corrective actions. This monitoring role also includes identifying and documenting important natural resources to support broader environmental management decisions, effectively helping build a better information picture of conditions across project lands.
The opportunity also emphasizes public-facing work and education. Under public outreach tasks, participants interact with visitors and community members to share information about environmental resources, outdoor recreation safety, and the USACE mission. Outreach may happen directly on project lands or at off-site community events. Staff are expected to respond to questions and concerns professionally and to rove project areas to provide information and help encourage safe public access, which supports both visitor safety and resource protection.
Finally, the cooperative agreement explicitly includes natural resources education and workforce-development elements. Participants are expected to learn and demonstrate correct equipment use, safe work techniques, appropriate barrier placement methods, effective communication strategies, and proper use of GPS/camera equipment and data collection methods. They also take part in discussions with USACE personnel about land management practices and philosophy, ecology and natural history topics (including biology, biogeography, and ecological relationships), and natural resources missions and career paths within USACE. The recipient provides periodic reports and progress updates to USACE staff and collaborates alongside USACE personnel to complete the work, reinforcing that this is meant to be a guided, cooperative stewardship and learning partnership rather than a standard procurement contract.
Eligibility is limited to nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education). The opportunity was created February 2, 2023, with an original closing date of March 31, 2023. The listed award ceiling is $1,200,000, with one expected award, indicating USACE anticipated selecting a single nonprofit partner to carry out the task-order work over the life of the agreement as funds and project needs allow. The CFDA listing associated with the opportunity is 15.546, and the activity category is Environment.Apply for W912PP2320001
