The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Galveston District is offering this grant to conduct Sedimentation and Paleo-flood Investigations in Coastal and Estuarine Systems.

This grant, offered by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Galveston District, is for professional and technical support concerning Sedimentation and Paleoflood Investigations for Fluvial, Coastal, and Estuarine Systems. Sedimentation processes are critical to Flood Risk Management, navigation, and environmental restoration projects. Approximately $50,000 is available for this 12-month base effort, with potential for follow-on funding. The research objectives include identifying boring locations, conducting field data collection and analysis, selecting a Galveston district reservoir for analysis, and providing spatial sedimentation rates. This initiative seeks to identify potential investigators to address key research and development needs in these vital areas.

Description:	For Complete Project Description review the FULL RSOI & SOO Documents Project Title: Sedimentation and Paleoflood Investigations for Fluvial, Coastal and Estuarine Systems Responses to this Request for Statements of Interest will be used to identify potential investigators for a project to be funded by U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Galveston District which provides professional and technical support for its Flood Risk Management (FRM) and navigation and environmental restoration projects (ER) in order to facilitate successful implementation of 10 U.S.C. § 2358 Research and Development, UAI Part 5101. Approximately $50,000 is expected to be available to support this project. Additional funding may be available for follow on work in subsequent fiscal years to the successful Recipient. Background: Sedimentation processes are integral factors influencing the state, function, and resiliency of an array of flood risk management (FRM), navigation and environmental restoration (ER) projects. Brief Description of Anticipated Work: This research focuses on the following objectives: Tasks 1: Identify boring locations within area of interest. Task 2: Field Data Collection Task 3: Data Analysis Task 4: Identify a reservoir within the Galveston district to perform the analysis on. Task 5: Provide a spatial sedimentation rate for the reservoirs Note: A full study proposal and proposed budget are NOT requested at this time. PERIOD OF PERFORMANCE Base Effort – The work will begin from the date of award and extend 12 months. Follow-on Agreement Periods or Tasks – specific tasks for periods or tasks will be based on future Research and Development needs.
