Opportunity Summary:

The Baird Creek Property Acquisition opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number F13AS00005) is a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service discretionary grant notice tied to environmental restoration goals under CFDA 15.658, Natural Resource Damage Assessment, Restoration and Implementation. The intent is to support the Baird Creek Preservation Foundation (BCPF) in acquiring a specific parcel of land so it can be permanently protected and taken out of agricultural production. In practical terms, the project centers on conserving 33.8 acres that include a substantial wetland area, with a branch of Baird Creek running along the southeast side of the property. By moving the land away from intensive agricultural use and establishing natural vegetative buffers, the project aims to reduce runoff and improve local water quality while also creating and enhancing habitat for wildlife associated with riparian and wetland systems.

This notice is not a competitive solicitation and does not include an application process. Instead, it serves as a notice of intent to make a single-source award to the Baird Creek Preservation Foundation under the cited justification (505 DM 2.14B(4)). The posting date and creation date are both October 30, 2012, and the notice was archived on November 7, 2012. The opportunity anticipates one award with an estimated total funding amount of $75,000. No cost-sharing or matching funds are required. The award ceiling and floor are listed as $0 in the record, which typically indicates that specific award limits were not expressed in the standard ceiling/floor fields even though a total estimated amount was provided.

Because it is a single-source intent to award, eligibility is effectively limited to the named recipient (BCPF), and other prospective applicants are not invited to apply. Anyone needing help accessing the full announcement was directed to contact Betsy M. Galbraith at the Fish and Wildlife Service (phone 920-866-1753, email betsygalbraith@fws.gov).
