Opportunity Summary:
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Medford District in Oregon offered a discretionary cooperative agreement opportunity to support a visitor use survey effort at the Upper and Lower Table Rock Trailheads. The core purpose of the project was to design and carry out a field-ready survey instrument that directly matches the criteria and information needs of the area management plan, then use the resulting data to guide future management decisions. In practical terms, the work centers on understanding who is visiting Table Rock, how and when they use the trailheads and surrounding recreation sites, what activities and experiences they are seeking, and what impacts or resource concerns may be associated with current patterns of use.
The project scope has three main parts. First, the recipient would research and develop a survey that reflects the management plan criteria, meaning the questions and metrics should be tailored to the specific decisions managers need to make (for example, visitor volumes and peak times, group sizes, activities, route choices, visitor awareness of rules, satisfaction and crowding perceptions, reasons for visiting, and observations related to resource protection). Second, the recipient would conduct on-site visitor use surveys at both the Upper and Lower Table Rock Trailheads during Fiscal Year 2011, which implies direct data collection in the field with recreation users at those access points and scheduling that captures representative use across days of the week and seasons. Third, the recipient would compile and organize the collected survey data so it can be used to focus the management plan on concrete actions that protect natural and cultural resources while still supporting recreational use that is compatible with those protection goals, both in the near term and looking ahead as visitation changes.
The funding opportunity number was L11AS00030, titled "BLM OR WA Table Rock Visitor Use Survey, Medford District, Oregon." It was listed under the Natural Resources activity category and associated with CFDA 15.225, Recreation Resource Management. BLM anticipated making a single award, with an estimated total funding amount of $10,000. The award ceiling was $10,000 and the award floor was $1. No cost sharing or matching requirement was specified. The eligible applicants were limited to public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, indicating the work was intended for universities or similar public higher education entities with the capability to design surveys, manage data collection logistics, and produce usable datasets and summaries for land management planning.
Administratively, the announcement was posted and created on February 23, 2011, with an original and current closing date of March 22, 2011, and an archive date of April 30, 2011. The instrument type was a cooperative agreement, which generally signals that BLM expected to have substantial involvement during the project period, such as coordinating on survey design to ensure it aligns with management plan criteria, advising on field implementation at the trailheads, and ensuring the compiled results are formatted in a way that can be directly used for planning and decision-making.
For access to the full announcement, the listing pointed applicants to Grants.gov, and provided a contact for assistance: Teresa Spickerman, Grants Management Officer, at 503-808-6243 and teresaespickerman@blm.gov.
