Chesapeake Bay Program Office Fiscal Year 2014 Request for Proposals for Agriculture Technical Support for the Chesapeake Bay Program Partnership: The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) Chesapeake Bay Program Office (CBPO) is announcing a Request for Proposals (RFP) for applicants to provide the Chesapeake Bay Program (CBP) non-federal partners with technical and programmatic support related to implementation of the agricultural components of the Chesapeake Bay watershed jurisdictions’ (listed below) watershed implementation plans (WIPs). Proposals should specifically address the need to assist and support efforts by the state, regional, and local partners and other non-federal stakeholders to build the institutional and programmatic capacity for accelerated implementation of agricultural conservation programs. This work should provide expanded technical, coordination, and logistical support to the CBP Partnership Water Quality Goal Implementation Team’s Agriculture Workgroup. Proposals should also provide for technical and coordination support to the non-federal partners and the appropriate CBP technical workgroups for determining the best means for ensuring all implemented agricultural conservation practices are tracked, verified, reported, accounted for, and simulated in the suite of CBP partnership models. This work includes providing technical and logistical support to the agricultural best management practice (BMP) expert panels as directed by the Agriculture Workgroup.
