Opportunity Summary:
This opportunity is a National Park Service notice of intent to make a single-source cooperative agreement award for bird monitoring work in the Sierra Nevada park network. Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks (under the Department of the Interior) plans to issue a task agreement under an already-existing cooperative agreement (H2130110001) with the Institute for Bird Populations (IBP). The purpose is to have IBP carry out standardized bird monitoring and associated analysis, supporting natural resource stewardship activities in the parks.
The project scope focuses on launching and completing the first year (2011) of SIEN-sponsored bird monitoring across multiple parks in the Sierra Nevada Inventory and Monitoring Network. The monitoring effort covers Yosemite National Park (YOSE), Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks (SEKI), and Devils Postpile National Monument (DEPO). The field design is specified as Panels 1 and 2 at SEKI and YOSE, along with all monitoring points located on the systematic grid at DEPO. In practice, this means IBP is expected to set up the monitoring effort and then execute the season of surveys at the required locations according to the network design.
IBP is expected to follow an established monitoring Protocol that governs the full lifecycle of the work. That includes field preparation, on-the-ground data collection, data certification or quality assurance steps, required reporting deliverables, and season closeout tasks. The cooperative agreement statement of work also summarizes key requirements, reinforcing that the work is meant to be done consistently across parks and in a way that produces comparable, defensible monitoring data suitable for long-term trend tracking and management use.
Administratively, the listing is categorized as a discretionary funding opportunity using a cooperative agreement instrument, under a Natural Resources funding activity category. The notice indicates there will be one expected award and that it is a single-source action, cited as being consistent with Department of the Interior policy (505 DMZ). The total estimated funding is $64,269, with both the award floor and ceiling set at $64,269, indicating a fixed expected award amount. No cost sharing or matching is required. The eligible applicant category listed is nonprofits that do not have 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education), which aligns with the intent to award specifically to IBP under the existing agreement rather than run an open competition.
Key dates show the opportunity was posted April 7, 2011, with an original and current closing date of April 14, 2011, and an archive date of May 14, 2011. The funding opportunity number is NPS NOIJ2130110006, and the CFDA program reference is 15.944 (Natural Resource Stewardship).
