Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity, titled "Burrowing Owl Survey at Naval Weapons Station Seal Beach, California," was issued by the Naval Facilities Engineering Command (NAVFAC) as a discretionary funding opportunity using a cooperative agreement. The core aim is to assess and protect the coastal burrowing owl population on Naval Weapons Station (NWS) Seal Beach and to support management of other threatened and endangered species present on or near the installation. The work is framed as mission-critical because accurate wildlife data and appropriate species protection measures help the base continue operations while meeting environmental stewardship and compliance responsibilities.
The project sits within the Natural Resources activity category and is tied to CFDA 12.300 (Basic and Applied Scientific Research), signaling that the expected work involves field-based scientific surveying and applied conservation planning rather than construction or routine maintenance. While the announcement does not spell out a detailed scope of work in the snippet provided, the stated purpose strongly implies activities such as conducting burrowing owl presence/absence surveys, documenting occupancy and distribution across suitable habitat, identifying active burrows, and producing data products or recommendations that the installation can use to avoid impacts, schedule activities appropriately, and implement protective measures. Because the opportunity also references other threatened and endangered species, the selected partner would likely coordinate survey methods and reporting in a way that supports broader installation-wide species management, such as providing observations, habitat notes, or risk considerations relevant to listed species protections.
Funding for the effort was relatively small and targeted, with an estimated total funding amount of $25,384 and an award ceiling of $25,384, suggesting a single, defined survey effort with deliverables such as a technical report, maps, and management recommendations. NAVFAC anticipated making one award. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants were not expected to contribute additional non-federal funds to be considered competitive under the posted terms.
Eligibility was limited to certain organizational types: public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education), and nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education). This points to an intended applicant pool of universities, research groups, and conservation-oriented nonprofit organizations capable of conducting wildlife surveys and producing defensible scientific documentation suitable for use on a military installation.
Key dates show the opportunity was posted and created on August 11, 2012, with proposals due by 4:00 PM local time on September 10, 2012. The listing was archived on October 10, 2012, indicating the submission window had closed and the opportunity moved into award processing or completion. For questions or issues accessing the full announcement, the contact listed was Linda Protocollo, Contract Specialist/Cooperative Agreement Administrator, reachable by phone at 619-532-1159.
Overall, this was a single-award, applied natural resources research and surveying effort designed to generate actionable information and protection strategies for burrowing owls and other sensitive species at NWS Seal Beach, helping the Navy balance installation operations with conservation and regulatory obligations.
