Opportunity Summary:
The BLM WY Saratoga Encampment Rawlins Conservation District Project (Funding Opportunity Number L11AS00176) was a Bureau of Land Management discretionary grant offered as a cooperative agreement under the BLM Healthy Landscapes Initiative, specifically through the Wyoming Landscape Conservation Initiative (WLCI). The core purpose of the opportunity was to support a long-term, science-based conservation program carried out in partnership with the Saratoga Encampment Rawlins Conservation District and coordinated through the BLM High Desert District. The program focus was landscape-scale work in southwest and south central Wyoming, aimed at assessing conditions and improving both the quality and quantity of aquatic and terrestrial habitat, while also supporting the broader goal of facilitating responsible development in the region.
The opportunity sat within the Natural Resources funding activity area and was tied to CFDA 15.231, Fish, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Resource Management. It anticipated a single award (Expected Awards: 1) with an estimated total funding amount of $450,000. The announcement listed no award ceiling or floor (both shown as 0), which typically means applicants had to refer to the full announcement package for any specific budget constraints, project phasing expectations, or allowable cost guidance. No cost sharing or matching funds were required, reducing the barrier to participation for eligible applicants and indicating the federal funds could potentially cover the full approved project cost, subject to the final agreement terms.
Eligibility was limited to special district governments, which aligns with the intended partner named in the announcement: the Saratoga Encampment Rawlins Conservation District. The cooperative agreement instrument type is important because it generally implies substantial federal involvement beyond a standard grant, such as collaboration on planning, technical input, coordination, and oversight during implementation, consistent with large, multi-year monitoring and habitat improvement programs.
Key dates show the opportunity was posted August 17, 2011, created September 16, 2011, and originally set to close August 31, 2011, with the closing date later extended to September 21, 2011. The archive date was October 15, 2011. Applicants were directed to the announcement "APPLICATION" materials for full instructions and the application package, which would typically include the project narrative requirements, performance measures, reporting expectations, and any required federal forms.
For support or issues accessing the full announcement electronically, the listed point of contact was Robert J. Tichac at the BLM, reachable at 307-775-6313 or via email at roberttichac@blm.gov.
