Opportunity Summary:
The BLM WY Golden Eagle Research and Monitoring opportunity is a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Wyoming State Office notice announcing its intent to make a single, non-competitive cooperative agreement award to the Buffalo Bill Historical Center. It is explicitly labeled as a Notice of Intent to Award, meaning it is not a request for applications and is posted mainly to inform the public that BLM plans to fund a specific set of activities with a specific recipient. The award is tied to CFDA 15.231 (Fish, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Resource Management) and is authorized under the Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1743), which allows the Secretary to enter into contracts and cooperative agreements for the management and protection of public lands.
The project focuses on applied wildlife research and monitoring for Golden Eagles within the Cody Field Office area in Wyoming, especially at nesting sites that could be affected by ongoing or future public land uses. The goal is to monitor reproduction and survival at selected nests and generate defensible, site-based information that can help BLM understand how different land-use activities may influence eagle productivity and breeding success. The announcement highlights potential disturbance or impact pathways from common BLM-managed landscape activities such as energy development, recreation, utility rights-of-way (ROWs), and vegetation treatments.
The planned scope of work is centered on detailed monitoring of active nest sites across two or more nesting seasons. Key data targets include the number of young produced, the number of young that successfully fledge, primary prey or food sources, and the home range of adult eagles. A major emphasis is evaluating whether, and to what extent, nearby public land activities may affect reproductive capability, which typically translates into tracking nesting outcomes alongside contextual information about human activity levels, development footprints, timing, and proximity to nests. The work is designed to support comparisons among multiple nest sites experiencing different levels or types of potential impact, which can help distinguish normal year-to-year variation from patterns that may be linked to land use.
The Buffalo Bill Historical Center is identified as the lead entity responsible for day-to-day implementation. The principal research lead is described as Dr. Charles Preston, curator at the Draper Museum, supported by research assistants and BLM wildlife biologists. Deliverables include an annual summary report of monitoring results each year and a final synthesis report at the end of the project. The final report is expected to compare several nest sites across a gradient of potential impacts, pulling together multi-year monitoring results into a more management-oriented assessment.
The anticipated award total is about $50,000 over five years, described as approximately $10,000 per year, with no cost share requirement. The agreement is characterized as a new award with an anticipated performance period running from April 2009 through March 2014, using a cooperative agreement instrument. A cooperative agreement is specifically noted because BLM expects substantial involvement during the project, not just pass-through funding. In this case, BLM’s role includes collaborating on objectives and goals, providing financial support, and, as staff time allows, assisting with data summarization, report development, and GIS support.
Finally, the notice explains why the award is being made without full and open competition. The single-source justification cites two main criteria under the Departmental Manual: the project originated as an unsolicited proposal considered unique or innovative and advantageous to program objectives, and the recipient has unique qualifications to perform the work (for example, specialized expertise, capacity, or other demonstrable factors). The posting lists BLM’s point of contact as Ilze Karklins Powers (ipowers@blm.gov; 307-775-6293) for questions related to the announcement.
