Opportunity Summary:
The 2014-2019 Noxious Weed Spraying Project for Fremont County, Colorado (Funding Opportunity Number L14AS00179) is a discretionary cooperative agreement offered by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management (BLM). The purpose of the project is straightforward: prevent, contain, and control the spread of noxious weeds across both public and private lands in Fremont County. The work falls under the Natural Resources funding activity area and is tied to CFDA 15.230, Invasive and Noxious Plant Management, which generally supports efforts to manage invasive plant species that threaten native ecosystems, rangeland productivity, wildlife habitat, recreation access, and overall land health.
This opportunity was structured to make a single award, with an estimated total funding amount of $95,000. The award ceiling is $95,000 and the award floor is $23,750, meaning BLM anticipated funding one project somewhere within that range, up to the full amount available. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement listed, so the selected applicant would not be required to contribute non-federal match as a condition of the award (though normal cooperative agreement expectations may still include coordination, reporting, and alignment with federal land management priorities).
Eligibility is limited to county governments, reflecting the local and operational nature of weed management programs and the typical role counties play in coordinating noxious weed control across mixed ownership landscapes. The project emphasizes practical, on-the-ground treatment activity (spraying) and likely includes coordination with landowners and public land managers to target priority infestations, reduce spread along corridors such as roads and waterways, and protect high-value areas from new introductions. Because the instrument type is a cooperative agreement (not a standard grant), the BLM would generally expect to have substantial involvement in the project, such as collaborating on treatment planning, identifying priority areas, ensuring compliance with applicable requirements, and coordinating activities on or affecting federal lands.
Key dates show the announcement was posted June 26, 2014, with an original closing date of July 10, 2014, later extended to a current closing date of August 15, 2014. The archive date is September 30, 2014, indicating the opportunity was time-limited and is no longer active. Applicants were directed to use the application materials in the full announcement, accessible through the opportunity posting, for detailed instructions on how to apply, required forms, and any technical or programmatic requirements.
