Opportunity Summary:
The Grizzly Wildlife Habitat Management Area Fence Modification opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number WY NOI08 9008) is a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Wyoming State Office discretionary funding notice that supports a wildlife-friendly fence conversion project in Wyoming. The BLM intends to issue one cooperative agreement, with the anticipated recipient being the Wyoming Game and Fish Department (WGFD), under CFDA 15.231 (Fish, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Resource Management). The work is focused within the Grizzly Wildlife Habitat Management Area managed through the Rawlins Field Office and spans BLM-administered land as well as State of Wyoming and private lands.
The core project goal is to convert approximately 24 miles of existing fencing that currently includes woven wire and multi-strand designs (specifically 6-strand and 5-strand fences). These fence types can be difficult or dangerous for wildlife to cross, especially young animals and species that migrate over long distances. The replacement or modification will follow WGFD wildlife specifications, including wire spacing standards and a smooth bottom wire. That design approach is intended to reduce entanglement risk and improve pass-through conditions, making it easier for pronghorn herds to migrate and for elk calves and mule deer fawns to move across the landscape.
Beyond big game and pronghorn benefits, the project also aims to improve habitat conditions for sage grouse. A key element mentioned is the removal of woven wire fencing, which can create barriers and hazards in sagebrush ecosystems. By eliminating or converting those segments, the project is expected to reduce impacts on sage grouse movement and habitat use while improving overall connectivity within the habitat management area.
The planned period of performance is five years, with the total project period not to exceed 60 months. While the opportunity anticipates a multi-year effort, the BLM notes that continued funding is contingent on two main factors: (1) the recipient demonstrating satisfactory progress toward program goals and BLM determining that continuation remains in the government’s best interest, and/or (2) the availability of funds. In practical terms, this frames the agreement as a longer-term habitat improvement effort with performance and budget checkpoints.
Financially, the notice lists an estimated total funding amount of $21,000, with an award ceiling of $21,000 and no stated minimum award (award floor of $0). There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement indicated. Eligibility is limited to state governments, consistent with the intent to partner with WGFD as the state wildlife management agency.
Key administrative details include a posted and created date of June 20, 2008, with an application closing date of July 3, 2008 (the opportunity is archived as of August 2, 2008). For questions or access issues related to the full announcement, the listed contact is Ilze Karklins Powers, Grants and Agreements Specialist/Grants Management Officer, reachable at 307-775-6293.
