Opportunity Summary:

The BLM NV SNPLMA Round 9 Ward Mountain Restoration Project (Funding Opportunity Number BLM NV NOI 09 1280) is a Bureau of Land Management notice announcing the agency's intent to fund a specific restoration-focused effort through a cooperative agreement, using Southern Nevada Public Land Management Act (SNPLMA) resources under CFDA 15.235. Even though it appears in the format of a grant opportunity, it is explicitly not a request for applications. Instead, it serves as a public notice that BLM plans to move forward with funding without full and open competition, meaning the work is intended for a particular partner rather than being competitively bid among multiple applicants.

The core purpose of the project is planning and assessment work tied to ecological restoration on Ward Mountain near Ely, Nevada. The project is designed to identify priority areas where future treatments, if implemented, would improve the ecological integrity of the Ward Mountain landscape. In practical terms, this means evaluating conditions on the ground, determining where restoration would provide the greatest ecological benefit, and laying out a defensible approach for restoring native ecosystems. A major additional emphasis is the identification and treatment planning for WUI (wildland-urban interface) sites, where vegetation management and restoration can reduce wildfire risk and improve resilience in areas where wildlands and communities intersect.

The work stems from the Ely District Office (EYDO) nomination and award under Round 9 SNPLMA as part of the Eastern Nevada Landscape Restoration Project (ENLRP). BLM's stated intent is to engage The Nature Conservancy to complete the assessment across a large, multi-ownership area totaling roughly 120,000 acres. The landscape includes BLM lands, U.S. Forest Service lands, and Shoshone Tribal lands located adjacent to and southwest of Ely on Ward Mountain. The multi-jurisdictional footprint signals that the assessment is meant to support coordinated, landscape-scale restoration rather than isolated treatments on a single parcel or under a single agency's control.

From an administrative standpoint, the announcement lists an estimated total funding amount of $155,000, which is also the stated award ceiling, with an award floor of $1. The opportunity category is discretionary, the activity category is natural resources, and BLM anticipated making one award. No cost sharing or matching requirement is indicated. The posting date and creation date are June 29, 2009, with an original and current closing date of July 30, 2009, and an archive date of August 30, 2009. While eligibility is listed as "unrestricted" in the standard fields, the narrative clarifies that the announcement is not open for competitive applications and is published primarily for transparency about BLM's intention to fund this specific set of activities.

For access issues related to the full announcement, the listed contact is Susan Kaller, Grants Management Officer, reachable at skaller@blm.gov, and the additional information link is provided through Grants.gov.
