Opportunity Summary:
The Baca NWR/San Luis Valley NWRC Invasives Control Project (Funding Opportunity Number F14AS00211) is a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service funding opportunity focused on hazardous fuels reduction work within a designated project area associated with the Baca National Wildlife Refuge and the San Luis Valley National Wildlife Refuge Complex. The core on-the-ground work described involves mechanically removing hazardous fuels using field crews equipped with chainsaws, then hand-stacking the cut material into piles. Any larger fuels that cannot reasonably be handled and stacked by hand are to be relocated by refuge staff using heavy machinery. In practical terms, the project is aimed at reducing fuel loads to lower wildfire risk and improve site conditions, using a combination of crew-based mechanical treatment and equipment support for larger material.
This opportunity is categorized as a discretionary award and is planned to be issued as a cooperative agreement, indicating an arrangement where the federal agency expects to have substantial involvement in the project as it is carried out. The funding activity category is listed as "Other," and the notice explains that this is a single-source award. Rather than being a fully open competition, it is a Notice of Intent to make an award directly to Southwest Conservation Corps. The justification cited is Department of the Interior Policy 505 DM 2.14 B, specifically the provisions for continuation work and unique qualifications. The announcement notes that the hazardous fuel removal effort is a continuation of work previously performed on the refuge and earlier supported through the Colorado Water Conservation Board, which helps explain why the agency is treating it as a continuation action rather than starting a new competitive process.
Financially, the announcement lists an estimated total funding amount of $24,202, while also providing a broader award range with an award floor of $5,000 and an award ceiling of $200,000. The posting also indicates an expectation of three awards, though the eligibility and intent language emphasizes the single-source cooperative agreement to Southwest Conservation Corps for hazardous fuels reduction. No cost sharing or matching is required under the terms provided. The program is associated with CFDA number 15.676, Youth Engagement, Education, and Employment Programs, which aligns with the involvement of a conservation corps organization that typically blends conservation project delivery with workforce development and youth engagement.
Key dates show that the opportunity was posted and created on June 2, 2014, with an original and current closing date of June 7, 2014, and an archive date of July 2, 2014.
