Chesapeake Bay Program Office Fiscal Year 2015 Request for Proposals for Goal Implementation Team Project Support: 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) partners with a proposal for supporting projects proposed by CBP’s Goal
Implementation Teams (GITs), designated Work Groups, and Action Teams to meet their
responsibilities, targets, outcomes and goals under the 2014 Chesapeake Bay Watershed
Agreement. The GITs, designated Work Groups, and Action Teams are the primary organizations responsible for coordinating CBP activities under the Agreement (http://www.chesapeakebay.net/chesapeakebaywatershedagreement/page). This includes development of management strategies for reaching programmatic goals and outcomes. The management strategies require data collection and analysis, metrics development, measurement,
economic analysis, meeting facilitation, and other types of work. This RFP is seeking cost-effective proposals from eligible applicants for establishing and administering a program to
support projects proposed by the GITs. CBP partners include federal agencies, seven watershed jurisdictions, and many non-federal organizations; however, work funded under this RFP will support the seven watershed jurisdictions and other non-federal partners. The seven watershed jurisdictions are Delaware, the District of Columbia, Maryland, New York, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and West Virginia.
