Opportunity Summary:
The Manhattan, Nevada Wildland Urban Interface (WUI) Project NDF Woodland Thinning grant notice (Funding Opportunity Number NV NOI080019) is a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) public notice describing the agency's intent to fund a specific, ongoing wildfire risk reduction project through a cooperative agreement. It is explicitly not a request for applications, meaning it is not an open competition; instead, it serves to inform the public that BLM plans to move forward with funding without full and open competitive solicitation. The project is framed as a continuation effort that was originally developed collaboratively by BLM, the U.S. Forest Service (USFS), and the Manhattan Chapter of the Nevada Firesafe Council, with a strong emphasis on protecting lives, private property, community infrastructure, and related cultural and historic resources in and around the Town of Manhattan.
The core purpose of the work is fuels reduction in the wildland-urban interface through woodland thinning, which is a common forest and rangeland management approach used to reduce hazardous fuel loads, lower wildfire intensity, and improve defensible space around communities. The need is tied to local conditions: Manhattan is described as a small rural community with limited firefighting capability, which increases vulnerability during wildfire events and makes pre-fire mitigation especially important. A key implementation partner is the Nevada Division of Forestry (NDF), which has supported the project through all phases by providing a prison workforce along with equipment and technical expertise in forestry and fuels reduction practices, indicating that the project relies on established operational capacity rather than building a new program from scratch.
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity is categorized as discretionary funding using a cooperative agreement, under the Natural Resources activity category. The funding is associated with CFDA 15.228, National Fire Plan - Wildland Urban Interface Community Fire Assistance. The notice anticipates a single award, with total estimated funding of $35,000 and a fixed award ceiling and floor both set at $35,000, suggesting a defined scope and budget for this specific phase of work. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement listed. Eligibility is limited to state governments, consistent with NDF's role as the state forestry partner. The notice was posted June 10, 2008, with a closing date of June 24, 2008, and archived June 25, 2008, reflecting the timeframe for public notice rather than a standard open application window.
For access or questions related to the full announcement, the listed BLM contact is Susan Kaller, Grants and Agreements Specialist, reachable by phone at 775-861-6559 or by email at skaller@blm.gov.
