Opportunity Summary:
The Fish and Wildlife Service announced a discretionary cooperative agreement opportunity titled "Greater sage grouse monitoring, wildlife habitat improvement projects in Jackson County, CO" under Funding Opportunity Number FWS R6 JACKSONCOUNTYSAGEGROUSE. It falls within the Environment and Natural Resources activity area and is associated with CFDA 15.631, Partners for Fish and Wildlife. The notice functions as the full announcement and describes a project focused on field monitoring and related habitat and aquatic resource work in Jackson County, Colorado.
The work plan outlined in the announcement centers on two primary tasks. First, the recipient would conduct radio telemetry and tracking of greater sage-grouse over the period from October 2011 through March 2012. This type of work generally involves locating marked birds using radio transmitters, documenting movements and seasonal habitat use, and generating data that can guide conservation and habitat improvement decisions. Second, the project includes surveying native fish in the Illinois River during fall 2011, indicating an additional aquatic monitoring component intended to document fish presence and condition and support native species management.
The opportunity was structured as a single expected award, with an estimated total funding amount of $49,000. The award ceiling is listed as $49,000 and the award floor as $38,500, suggesting the final award amount would fall within that range depending on the approved scope and budget. No cost sharing or matching requirement is identified, meaning the recipient was not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of the award.
A key feature of this announcement is that it is a notice of intent to make a single-source (non-competitive) award. The agency states the award is being made under Department of the Interior policy 505 DM 2.14 B (1) and (2), which allows an award without competition in certain circumstances. The justification given is that the proposed award is a continuation effort and is based on the applicant's unique qualifications. The notice specifically identifies Owl Mountain Partnership as the intended recipient, and the eligibility field indicates the announcement is directed to that organization rather than soliciting open competition from a broad pool of applicants.
In terms of timing, the opportunity was posted and created on September 29, 2011, with an original and current closing date of September 30, 2011, and an archive date of October 30, 2011. This short window is consistent with an intent-to-award posting where the primary purpose is public notice rather than a lengthy competitive application period.
For administrative questions or access issues related to the full announcement, the listed contact is Andrea Meyer, Grants Management Specialist, reachable by phone at 303-236-5412, with an email field indicated but not provided in the text excerpt.
