Opportunity Summary:
The Farallon National Wildlife Refuge grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number FWS R8 NWRS 001) is a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service notice of intent to make a single-source award, meaning it is not a competitive funding opportunity and it is not asking the public to submit proposals. There is no full announcement package tied to this notice. The agency is using a single-source justification under 505 DM 2.14.B.(4) and plans to issue one cooperative agreement as a continuation-type action within the Environment and Natural Resources funding activity area.
The intended recipient is the Point Reyes Bird Observatory (PRBO). The purpose of the cooperative agreement is to support on-the-ground stewardship of the Farallon Islands and the Farallon National Wildlife Refuge, with a focus on protecting, conserving, and monitoring seabirds, marine mammals, and other wildlife, along with maintaining refuge-related facilities. In practical terms, the supported work centers on long-term wildlife monitoring and conservation actions on the islands, plus the upkeep needed to keep refuge operations and field facilities functioning.
The award is made under CFDA 15.608, Fish and Wildlife Management Assistance, and cites several legal authorities that support the partnership and financial assistance, including the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act (16 U.S.C. Sections 661 to 666c), the Fish and Wildlife Act of 1956 (16 U.S.C. 742a to 742j), and the National Wildlife Refuge Volunteer and Community Partnership Act of 1998 and its reauthorization (Public Law 105-242 and Public Law 108-324). The instrument type is a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates that the Fish and Wildlife Service expects to have substantial involvement in the project alongside the recipient, rather than simply issuing a grant with minimal federal participation.
Funding details show an estimated total funding amount of $100,942 for the opportunity, with the listed award ceiling and floor both set at $33,647, indicating the anticipated federal award amount for the action described. Cost sharing or matching is required, and PRBO is expected to provide a 2:1 match through in-kind services, meaning non-cash contributions such as staff time, expertise, equipment use, logistics, or other support that directly advances the project goals.
Key dates associated with the posting include a posted date of December 22, 2009, a creation date of December 29, 2009, an original closing date of December 23, 2009, and a current closing date of December 31, 2009, with the notice archived on January 22, 2010. While the eligibility field is marked as unrestricted, the text makes clear this is a single-source intent to award to PRBO and not an open competition.
For questions or access issues, the listed contact is Lucinda Ballard, Administrative Officer, reachable at 510-745-9286 or lucindaballard@fws.gov.
