Opportunity Summary:
The Light Footed Clapper Rail Monitoring, Seal Beach, CA opportunity was a small, targeted federal grant issued by the Naval Facilities Engineering Command (NAVFAC) to support field monitoring of a federally endangered bird, the light-footed clapper rail (Rallus longirostris levipes). The core purpose was to survey the breeding population on Naval Weapons Station Seal Beach (NWSSB) and the adjacent Seal Beach National Wildlife Refuge (SBNWR), then deliver a written report to the Navy summarizing findings. The announcement emphasizes that the SBNWR population has been trending downward over roughly the prior two decades, reaching especially concerning low levels in the most recent years at the time, and that updated survey results were needed to inform ongoing conservation and management decisions for a federally listed species.
The work was framed as natural resources monitoring and basic/applied scientific research (CFDA 12.300), and it was to be funded through a cooperative agreement rather than a standard procurement contract. Only one award was expected, with an estimated total funding amount and award ceiling of $12,309, and there was no cost-sharing or matching requirement. Eligible applicants included nonprofit organizations with IRS-recognized 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education under that category), as well as public/state-controlled universities and private universities, indicating the Navy was open to working with either conservation nonprofits or academic researchers capable of conducting specialized wildlife surveys.
Timing was tight: the opportunity was posted and created on February 25, 2010, with proposals due by March 3, 2010, no later than 1400 PST. The solicitation was later archived on April 2, 2010. Interested parties needing help accessing the full announcement were directed to contact the listed contract specialist, Linda Protocollo, at 619-532-1159. Overall, the grant was designed to add current, standardized population data to an existing long-term database, strengthening the evidence base the Navy and refuge managers rely on when making habitat, protection, and recovery decisions for the light-footed clapper rail at Seal Beach.
