Opportunity Summary:
The Barnes Property Baseline Wildlife Inventory grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number R13SF32024) was a Bureau of Reclamation, Lower Colorado Region discretionary grant focused on natural resources work in southern Arizona. The project was designed to produce a baseline wildlife inventory for the Barnes Property, located east of Tucson and adjacent to Colossal Cave Mountain Park. A central reason for doing the inventory was to support future mitigation planning for impacts to biological resources associated with the Fort McDowell Yavapai Nation and implementation of the Tribe's water settlement act. The announcement emphasizes that the Barnes Property is ecologically important because it functions as a linkage corridor between the Rincon and Santa Rita Mountains and contains substantial biological resources that warrant documentation and long-term management attention.
The scope of work described is a straightforward inventory and assessment effort: conducting literature and records searches to compile existing information; completing field surveys targeting birds (avian), mammals, and reptiles and amphibians (herpetofauna); classifying vegetation on the property; and producing a written report that consolidates findings. The intended outcome of the work is to determine whether federally listed species, proposed species, candidate species, or state-sensitive species are present, and to establish baseline data that can be used for future monitoring of wildlife populations. The results are also meant to inform long-term site management decisions and strengthen protection measures for any sensitive species found on or using the property.
Administratively, this opportunity was posted on August 12, 2013, and had a closing date of August 26, 2013, with an archive date of September 25, 2013. The total estimated funding was $25,700, with both the award ceiling and award floor set at $25,700, indicating a single fixed-size award (Expected Awards: 1). No cost sharing or matching was required. The funding was associated with CFDA 15.517 under the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act. Eligibility was listed broadly as "Others" with additional details referenced in the full eligibility text, but the key detail is that this announcement was a notice of intent to award and explicitly stated that no competition was being sought, meaning it was not an open competitive solicitation.
For practical questions or difficulty accessing the full announcement, the listed point of contact was Shawna Thompson, Grants Officer, reachable by phone at 702-293-8570 or by email at smthompson@usbr.gov.
