Instructions: In accordance with Service policy 516 FW 6, Issuing Discretionary Grant and Cooperative Agreement Awards without Competition, complete this form to document the justification for issuing a single source grant or cooperative agreement award. This form must be signed by both a program representative and the employee with signature authority for the award to be issued (see 516 FW 3, Signature Authority for Grant and Cooperative Agreement Awards). The completed and signed form must be maintained in the official award file.

Select all criteria that apply (from 505 DM 2):

(1) Unsolicited Proposal: The proposed award is the result of an unsolicited application that represents a unique or innovative idea, method, or approach that is not the subject of a current or planned award, but is found to be advantageous to program objectives.

(2) Continuation: The activity to be funded is necessary for the satisfactory completion of, or is a continuation of, an activity we are funding and holding a competition would have a significant adverse effect on continuing or completing the activity.

(3) Legislative Intent: The language in the applicable authorizing legislation or legislative history clearly indicates the intent of Congress to restrict the award to a particular recipient or purpose.

(4) Unique Qualifications: The applicant is uniquely qualified to perform the activity based on a variety of demonstrable factors such as location; property ownership; voluntary support capacity; cost-sharing ability, if applicable; technical expertise; or other such unique qualifications.

(5) Emergencies: Because of a compelling and unusual urgency, or substantial danger to health or safety, there is not enough time to follow adequate competitive procedures.

Explain below why competition for this award is not practical. As applicable, summarize the program legislative history, unique capabilities of the proposed recipient, and any cost-sharing contribution offered by the proposed recipient. Be brief and specific:

I have determined that this project meets the requirements for a single source award and recommend that it be awarded to the recipient named above.

I, as the Service employee with signature authority for this award under 516 FW 3, have reviewed this program recommendation and find that it meets the requirements for a single source award.

Justification: Washington State University‘s Puyallup Research and Extension Center (WA Stormwater Center) has unique capabilities in this area of investigation because it contains the largest stormwater research infrastructure on the west coast of the United States. This includes full-scale, replicated bioretention rain gardens of various types, replicated pervious concrete and porous asphalt cells, and a large range of bioretention columns of various sizes, all of which are needed to conduct this investigation into the ‘Longevity of bioretention depths for preventing acute toxicity from urban stormwater runoff'. WSU Puyallup also houses a large aquatic toxicology program, including the WSU-NOAA Fish Toxicology laboratory and an aquatic zebrafish and invertebrate laboratory, both of which are vital for this project. Finally, the technical expertise, ongoing work and association with WSU Puyallup, which houses two thirds of the Washington Stormwater Center, will allow for the satisfactory completion of this investigation.
