Opportunity Summary:
The BLM CO Gunnison County Noxious Weed Control opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L13AS00231) is a discretionary Bureau of Land Management funding program offered through a cooperative agreement to support noxious weed management on BLM-administered lands in Gunnison County, Colorado. The purpose is straightforward: the Gunnison County weed coordinator will carry out on-the-ground work to control and/or eradicate designated and declared noxious weed species occurring on lands managed by the BLM, and will provide formal documentation back to the agency after treatments occur. This work falls under CFDA 15.231, Fish, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Resource Management, reflecting the broader goal of protecting natural resources by preventing invasive plants from degrading habitat, displacing native vegetation, and increasing long-term management costs.
The primary activities funded revolve around implementing weed treatments and documenting them. Treatment work may include coordinating field operations and applying appropriate control methods for listed noxious weeds on BLM lands, with an emphasis on meeting applicable requirements for pesticide application and land management practices. A key deliverable called out in the announcement is the submission of Pesticide Use Reports (PUR) for each treatment action. In practical terms, this means the recipient is expected not only to conduct the weed control work but also to track and report what was applied, where it was applied, and other details needed for BLM compliance and program oversight.
This opportunity anticipated a single award (Expected Awards: 1) with an estimated total funding amount of $50,000. The award ceiling is also $50,000, meaning the maximum federal amount available under this announcement is $50,000, while the award floor is $1,500, indicating proposals could be considered for smaller amounts as well. No cost sharing or matching is required, so the applicant does not have to provide a non-federal match to be eligible or competitive under the terms provided.
Eligibility is limited to county governments, aligning with the project design that specifically references Gunnison County and its weed coordinator role. The award mechanism is a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates an ongoing partnership with substantial involvement by the federal agency during the project period, such as coordination on treatment priorities, reporting expectations, and alignment with BLM land management objectives.
Key administrative dates show the notice was posted on August 27, 2013, with a creation date of September 17, 2013.
