Opportunity Summary:
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) published this notice to inform the public of its intent to fund a project in the Ely District of Nevada focused on implementing the Ely Resource Management Plan (RMP) for renewable resources. It is important to note that this announcement is explicitly not a request for applications. Instead, it serves as a public notice that BLM plans to move forward with funding without full and open competition, using a cooperative agreement mechanism. In other words, it signals BLMs planned funding action rather than inviting organizations to submit proposals in response.
The project itself is aimed at strengthening renewable resource work across the Ely District by supporting several practical, on-the-ground and planning-oriented activities tied directly to the Ely RMP implementation plan. The supported work includes analyzing existing resource data, collecting and evaluating additional data where information gaps exist, developing management or activity plans, and carrying out implementation projects. The overall intent is to improve BLMs capacity to plan, prioritize, and execute renewable resource actions that align with the RMP and advance district-wide management objectives.
A central outcome BLM is emphasizing is an increase in the number of projects that are either constructed, maintained, or formally planned, with a clear focus on meeting rangeland and watershed condition objectives. Specifically, the work is framed around achieving Proper Functioning Condition (PFC) and meeting Land Health Standards across uplands, wetlands, and riparian areas. In practical terms, this points to activities that help restore or maintain healthy ecological function, particularly in sensitive or high-value areas like riparian corridors and wetlands, while also addressing broader upland conditions that influence watershed health and habitat quality.
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity is categorized as a discretionary funding action under the natural resources activity area, with funding provided through a cooperative agreement. The posting lists an estimated total funding amount of $5,000,000, with an award ceiling of $1,000,000 and an award floor of $15,000, and it anticipates making one award. The CFDA (assistance listing) number associated with the notice is 15.231, Fish, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Resource Management. No cost sharing or matching funds are required as part of this funding action. Eligibility is listed as unrestricted (open to any entity type), although the notice also indicates that any additional eligibility clarifications would be contained in the full announcement text.
Key dates show the notice was posted on May 8, 2013, with an original and current closing date of May 17, 2013, and an archive date of June 17, 2013. For access issues related to the full announcement, the listed point of contact is Susan Kaller, Grants and Agreements Specialist, reachable at 775-861-6559 and skaller@blm.gov.
