Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Management of Mitigation Lands" (Funding Opportunity Number: FWS R6 MANAGEMENTOFMITIGATIONLANDS) is a discretionary funding announcement from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service under CFDA 15.664, Fish and Wildlife Coordination and Assistance Programs. It is structured as a cooperative agreement focused on environment and natural resources work, specifically land management activities intended to mitigate or offset impacts associated with a major federal water project.
At its core, the agreement is meant to support coordinated management of mitigation lands that compensate for fish and wildlife losses linked to the construction and ongoing operation of the Garrison Diversion Unit. The main task described is to facilitate cooperation between the parties so that land management is carried out in a way that addresses those losses. In other words, the funding supports practical, on-the-ground stewardship and management actions on designated wildlife mitigation areas, with the purpose of maintaining or improving habitat values that were diminished by the project.
This particular opportunity is not a competitive grant. It is a notice of intent to make a single-source award to the North Dakota Game and Fish Department. The announcement cites Department of the Interior policy (505 DM 2.14 B(2)) as the authority allowing an award without competition when continuity and other qualifying factors apply. The continuity rationale is clearly stated: the Russ Stewart - Painted Woods Wildlife Development Area Management Plan was developed in 1989, and the North Dakota Game and Fish Department has been responsible for management since that time. The funding arrangement is also described as an ongoing, recurring process in which the Bureau of Reclamation transfers funds each year through the Fish and Wildlife Service for this purpose, indicating this agreement supports a continuing management responsibility rather than a new, open solicitation.
In terms of scale and award structure, the synopsis lists an estimated total funding amount of $300,000, with an award ceiling of $100,000 and an award floor of $1,000. The announcement anticipates a single award (Expected Awards: 1). There is no cost sharing or matching requirement indicated, meaning the recipient is not expected to provide a non-federal match as a condition of receiving funds.
Key dates show that this was posted and created on August 24, 2011, with a very short window before closing on August 27, 2011, and later archived on September 26, 2011. Because it is a single-source notice tied to an identified recipient, the short posting period aligns with the administrative purpose of informing the public rather than soliciting applications from a broad pool of applicants.
Eligibility is effectively limited by design: while the general field may state "Others" with additional eligibility details, the eligibility information clarifies that the notice is specifically intended to award a single-source agreement to the North Dakota Game and Fish Department. The sponsoring agency is the Fish and Wildlife Service, and the contact listed for access issues with the full announcement is Andrea Meyer, Contracting Officer (email referenced but not provided in the text you included).
