Opportunity Summary:
The FA BLM AZ Environmental Quality Website Enhancements and Modification opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L14AS00182) is a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) discretionary grant offered as a cooperative agreement under CFDA 15.236 (Environmental Quality and Protection Resource Management). It is tied to the Southern Arizona Project (SAP), a program launched in 2003 to fund mitigation and remediation work addressing environmental impacts associated with illegal immigration and smuggling activities in the borderlands of southern Arizona. A key component of SAP has been an Arizona Department of Environmental Quality (ADEQ) website that allows border-related trash and issue reports to be documented and viewed by local, state, and federal government users, while also giving the public visibility into SAP cleanup actions and outcomes.
The proposed project focuses on improving and modernizing that existing web-based tool so it better supports assessing, evaluating, and planning cleanup activities in areas impacted by undocumented migrant (UDM) traffic. The central need described in the announcement is data standardization: the current system allows information to be entered in ways that are inconsistent, which makes retrieval, analysis, and final reporting harder. To solve this, the award will support enhancements such as implementing drop-down menus and/or other intuitive navigation and structured data-entry features that guide users toward consistent terminology and categories. In practical terms, the goal is to make the database more uniform, improve data quality, and make it easier to generate reliable reports across agencies and stakeholders.
The objective of the partnership is explicitly framed around supporting SAP implementation and reducing impacts to natural and cultural resources on public lands that have been damaged or polluted. By improving how field observations and cleanup information are recorded, the upgraded website is intended to strengthen planning and prioritization of cleanup efforts, improve accountability and transparency, and make it easier for government entities and the public to review where impacts are occurring and what remediation has been completed.
Funding for the opportunity is estimated at a total of $250,000, with an award ceiling of $250,000 and an award floor of $15,000, and BLM anticipates making one award. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement. Eligibility is listed as unrestricted (open to any applicant), with the formal eligibility section stating that anyone may apply. Applications were required to be submitted electronically through Grants.gov by July 28, 2014 at 5:00 PM Pacific Standard Time, with late submissions not considered. The opportunity was posted June 27, 2014 and archived August 1, 2014. The listed agency contact for access issues and grants management questions is Eddie W. Bell Jr., Grants Management Officer, at 602-417-9268 and ebell@blm.gov.
