Opportunity Summary:
The opportunity titled "Ely District Nevada Implementation of Ely RMP for Nonrenewable Resources" is a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) funding notice connected to implementing the Ely Resource Management Plan (RMP) in Nevada, with a focus on Nonrenewable Resources work in the Ely District. It is important to note that this announcement is not a request for applications. Instead, it serves as a public notice that BLM intends to fund specific project activities through a cooperative agreement without full and open competition, meaning the agency is signaling its intent to make an award under a non-competitive approach rather than soliciting proposals broadly.
The core purpose of the funded work is to provide technical and implementation support that advances the Ely RMP and its implementation plan. The activities described include analyzing existing datasets, collecting additional data where needed, evaluating that information, developing management plans, and carrying out on-the-ground projects tied to RMP objectives. While the announcement is framed around Nonrenewable Resources, the practical outcomes emphasized include expanding planning and implementation capacity across several planning products that BLM uses to manage public lands. Specifically, the funding is intended to help increase the number of plans developed for Areas of Critical Environmental Concern (ACECs), Special Recreation Use Areas, and Travel Management Plans. In addition to planning, the assistance is also meant to increase the number of projects constructed or maintained to meet goals identified in the RMP implementation plan, which typically includes infrastructure, site management actions, and related field improvements that support designated uses and resource protection.
From a funding and administrative standpoint, the opportunity is categorized as discretionary and uses a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument, signaling a relationship where BLM expects to have substantial involvement during performance compared with a more hands-off grant. The funding activity category is Natural Resources, and the CFDA listing referenced is 15.225, associated with Recreation Resource Management. The announcement anticipated a single award, with an estimated total funding amount of $5,000,000. Individual awards were described with a floor of $50,000 and a ceiling of $1,000,000. No cost sharing or matching requirement was listed, which indicates recipients would not be required to provide matching funds as a condition of the award, at least as stated in the summarized fields.
Eligibility was listed as unrestricted, meaning it was open to any type of entity, subject to any additional limitations that might appear in the full announcement text. Key dates show the notice was posted and created on May 8, 2013, with an original and current closing date of May 17, 2013, and it was archived on June 17, 2013. For access issues or questions about the full announcement, the listed contact was Susan Kaller, Grants and Agreements Specialist, reachable at 775-861-6559 and skaller@blm.gov. The funding opportunity number associated with this notice is L13AS00082.
