Opportunity Summary:
This government grant opportunity, administered by the Naval Facilities Engineering Command (NAVFAC), sought a partner to design and carry out a bat survey and long-term monitoring program on Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton in San Diego County, California. The core purpose was to use scientifically accepted field and analytical methods to find where bats occur on the installation, determine which species are present either seasonally or year-round, and translate those findings into practical guidance for managing bat habitat and minimizing conflicts with base operations and personnel.
The project scope centered on implementing survey techniques capable of locating and identifying bats across the base. While the announcement does not list specific methods, it emphasizes using established scientific approaches intended to document bat activity and distribution in a defensible way. Expected outputs included a clearer picture of species richness (how many different bat species are using the base), the identification and mapping of roost locations, and the delineation of important foraging areas. In addition to collecting data, the work required analysis and interpretation so the results could be used for decision-making rather than functioning as a one-time inventory.
A major deliverable implied by the description was a set of suggested management practices. These recommendations were expected to focus on maintaining and improving habitat quality for bats on Camp Pendleton while also reducing the kinds of conflicts that can arise when bats roost in or near facilities where Marines live and work. In practical terms, that could include guidance on protecting key roost sites, managing or restoring foraging habitat, and addressing human-bat interactions in built areas in ways that balance conservation needs with mission and quality-of-life considerations.
The funding mechanism was a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates a more collaborative relationship with the federal agency than a standard grant, often with substantial agency involvement during performance. The opportunity fell under the Natural Resources activity category and referenced CFDA 12.300 (Basic and Applied Scientific Research). NAVFAC anticipated making one award with an estimated total funding amount of $41,500, which also served as the award ceiling. There was no cost-sharing or matching requirement stated.
Eligibility was limited to certain organization types: private institutions of higher education, public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, and nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education). The opportunity was posted on August 20, 2009, with a closing date of August 28, 2009, and it was later archived on September 27, 2009. For assistance obtaining the full announcement, the listed point of contact was Linda Protocollo, Contract Specialist and Cooperative Agreement Administrator, reachable by phone at 619-532-1159.
